Like any surgical procedure, rhinoplasty has potential side effects and risks. Some of the common side effects include:
1. Swelling and bruising: Swelling and bruising around the eyes and nose are common after rhinoplasty, and they may last for several weeks.
2. Nasal congestion: Nasal congestion is another common side effect of rhinoplasty, which can make it difficult to breathe through the nose.
3. Pain: Pain and discomfort in and around the nose are also common after rhinoplasty, although they are usually mild and can be managed with pain medication.
4. Bleeding: Some bleeding from the nose is common after rhinoplasty, and it usually resolves within a few days.
5. Infection: Although rare, infection is a potential complication of any surgical procedure, including rhinoplasty. It can usually be treated with antibiotics.
6. Scarring: Scarring is usually minimal after rhinoplasty, as most incisions are made inside the nose. However, in some cases, visible scarring may occur.
7. Changes in sensation: Some people may experience changes in sensation around the nose and mouth after rhinoplasty, such as numbness or tingling.
It is important to discuss the potential risks and side effects of rhinoplasty with your surgeon before the procedure to ensure that you are fully informed and prepared.
