Overview Recovery Risks

Cosmetic nose surgery

The risks for any anesthesia are:

• reactions to medications
• problems breathing

• bleeding
• infection
• bruising

After surgery, small burst blood vessels may occasionally appear as tiny red spots on the skin's surface and are usually minor, but permanent. There is no visible scarring if the rhinoplasty is performed from inside the nose. There may be small scars at the base of the nose that are not usually visible when the procedure calls for the narrowing of flared nostrils.

Rarely, a second procedure may be necessary to correct a minor deformity.
