What are the risks of rhinoplasty

September 9, 2023
Although rhinoplasty can make a person beautiful, the surgery can easily cause some changes. Of course rhinoplasty is a surgery that requires the use of a knife, and there are certain risks involved. Some are caused by the surgery itself, and some can be caused by improper patient care. What exactly are the risks associated with rhinoplasty surgery?

Bleeding

It is relatively normal to experience some bleeding after rhinoplasty surgery, which occurs with all surgeries. However, it is important to note that there will not be continuous bleeding after the surgery. If the bleeding is normal, there is no need to deal with it, but if the bleeding is persistent, it must be dealt with by a doctor in time.

Local edema

Local edema will occur after rhinoplasty surgery, usually mild edema will appear for about 2~3 days, then slowly recede on its own, and will disappear after about half a month.

Foreign body reaction

If edema still occurs after 3 weeks after rhinoplasty and yellow fluid appears at the incision location of the surgery, this may be a rejection reaction of the body to the implant, which should be removed immediately. After 3 months from the removal of the foreign body, the rhinoplasty can be performed with cartilage as the implant.

Wound Infection

Wound infection is more related to poor disinfection during surgery or improper postoperative care. Generally, there is still pain in the nose with redness, swelling and fever 3 to 4 days after surgery, which indicates infection. If the situation is mild, antibacterial treatment can be used, but if the septicemia is too severe, the implant should be removed and drained before antibacterial treatment.

Skin bruising

Skin bruising is also a surgical risk, caused by trauma to the soft tissues in the subcutaneous tunnels caused by repeatedly forking too large an implant during the rhinoplasty procedure. It can disappear in about 1 month if there is no other discomfort, and if there is any other inappropriateness consult your doctor as soon as possible.

Abnormal nose shape

After rhinoplasty, the bridge of the nose may be crooked, the tip of the nose may not be correct or there may be a shadow at the root of the nose, this can usually be repaired through another surgery, but it is advisable to follow the doctor's guidance when carrying out the repair.

Dizziness

Very few people experience dizziness after rhinoplasty surgery, especially when looking at things. In more serious cases, the dizziness can last for a long time. In such cases, the prosthesis should be removed by the surgeon, and the symptoms will be improved until they disappear.
