What are the Risks?

There is a small risk of suffering a nosebleed requiring further treatment and a very small risk of a nasal infection. Limited swelling in the skin at the time of surgery may hide underlying irregularities or asymmetries that can be seen later. Unpredictable healing or responses to surgical steps may cause new irregularities or asymmetries that can appear weeks or months after surgery. These irregularities may be felt or could be visible. Very rarely, slight reddening of the skin may occur – this is more likely if you have had a previous rhinoplasty. We will discuss risks further and fully with you in our Rhinoplasty Discovery Programme™.

It is important to appreciate that surgery cannot guarantee a perfect result, although we make every effort to minimise unpredictability and achieve the best result possible.
