Rhinoplasty Risks: What to Know Before Your Nose Job

Rhinoplasty (nose job) improves nasal appearance and function but carries surgical risks.

Potential Risks

  • Bleeding: Common; rarely severe enough for transfusion.
  • Infection: Possible in nose or sinuses.
  • Scarring: Usually minimal; occasionally excessive.
  • Nasal structure damage: May affect breathing or function.
  • Unsatisfactory results: Appearance or function may not meet expectations.

Discuss all risks and benefits with your surgeon to make an informed decision.
