Complications
As in any other surgery, complications can be due to surgery or anesthesia. Those due to anesthesia include vomiting, giddiness or shivering.
Some of the common complications possible in surgery of any nature including rhinoplasty are-
- Bleeding,
- Bruising,
- Loss of sensation,
- pain,
- swelling,
- loss of skin over the area.
Other complications specific to rhinoplasty include-
- perforation or hole in the septum,
- excessive narrowing of the nose that requires a redo surgery.
It may take up to a year for the full effect to be seen. After the initial swelling or bruising subsides, it takes a while for the tissues to adjust themselves over the newly grafted bone.
