Cosmetic surgeries continue to grow in popularity. Rhinoplasty (or Nose Shaping Surgery) is one the most common procedures that plastic surgeons encounter. As with all operations, there are some risks. I’m not trying to scare, but just to be aware. While achieving aesthetic goals may be ideal, you should also consider their impact on overall health.

Rhinoplasty is associated with a variety of possible risks. These include bleeding, infection, hematomas, numbness, scarring at the base, swelling, and nerve damage.
Selecting the best clinic to perform your cosmetic surgery can help minimize the impact and reduce the risks. Also, there are some short-term complications that can be associated with nose reshaping. As nose reshaping is an individualized procedure, the side effects experienced by patients vary. This procedure has side effects that can be very damaging. It is therefore important to understand this procedure to ensure you make the right choice.
Post Surgery Pain
Your nose is one the most important features of your face. The nose shape can be a major factor in enhancing your appearance. The surgery involves extensive alterations of the bone and cartilage. As a result, patients may experience some pain and discomfort after surgery. When the pain becomes unbearable contact your surgeon to ask for stronger pain medication.
Swelling
One of the common side effects from rhinoplasty, or nose-shaping surgery, is swelling around your eyes and nose. The swelling can be quite noticeable in the days immediately after the surgery. However, this subsides within two weeks. Note that the best results are seen one year after surgery.
Bruising
One of the side effects from nose shaping surgery is bruising. The amount of bruising that occurs and how it affects the patient depends on their sensitivity as well as the extent of the surgery. General bruising from surgery can last for up to 10 days. In the event that you notice any abnormal signs, please contact your cosmetic doctor for a consultation.
The side effects of medications can be dangerous. It is vital to know the risks so you can act appropriately when necessary.
