Posted on [post_date] [post_comments] [post_edit]

Despite being one of the most popular procedures at Centre for in London, many patients may be put off the idea of having a or procedure due to the potential risks involved. When performed by an experienced  in a reputable UK cosmetic surgery clinic, the risks and possible complications of surgery are considered minimal.

What are the general risks of nose surgery?

Anaesthetic risks

surgery is performed under general anaesthesia at Centre for Surgery. We do not offer as we believe the risks associated with this technique outweigh its potential benefits. The type of general anaesthetic we use is known as total anaesthesia, or TIVA for short. During rhinoplasty surgery, you will have a dedicated consultant anaesthetist to look after you throughout your procedure.

Infection

Infection is a rare complication of rhinoplasty surgery, and your surgeon will prescribe a prophylactic course of antibiotics for you to take for the first week after your procedure.

Bleeding or haematoma formation

During a septorhinoplasty, there is a small risk of a septal haematoma forming. This can be easily treated in the clinic, but must be recognised early to ensure prompt and effective treatment.

Delayed wound healing

This is a common complication in patients who continue to smoke both before and after the procedure. This is why we always recommend that all smokers stop smoking at least four weeks before and after surgery to reduce the risk of wound healing complications.

Excessive scarring

This complication can be minimised by  incision placement in  and proper post-operative scar management. It is essential to remember that scars may take up to 12 months to mature fully.

Numbness of the nose tip

Numbness or tingling affecting the nasal tip is a side effect which should gradually improve between 3 and 6 months after surgery. It is most commonly associated with , which may take up to 12 months to subside after surgery.

Persistent pain

This is a rare complication and can be effectively managed with adequate postoperative pain relief and reducing activities which may increase nose swelling, such as out strenuous exercise too soon after surgery.

What are the specific risks of rhinoplasty surgery?

Temporary or permanent to nasal functions, including the perception of smell or taste – there is a small recognised risk of altered perception of smell, and it is more common when sinus surgery for blocked sinuses is combined with rhinoplasty surgery.

Nasal asymmetry – the nose shape may develop localised irregularities affecting the bridge of the nose when the nasal bones have to be fractured to narrow the upper part of the nose.

Septal perforation is a recognised complication of  As long as it is recognised early, is effective in correcting this condition.

Crooked nasal dorsum – this can occur when the does not adequately reduce the nose evenly on both sides after fracturing it to reduce the width of the nose. Residual nasal bumps may remain after surgery.

Skin discolouration – patients with naturally thin skin may skin after surgery. This can be minimised by using a gentle surgical technique.

Breathing difficulties – rhinoplasty swelling can cause significant of the nasal passages after surgery, but this will resolve after two weeks. Persistent breathing difficulties may be due to a that was not corrected during rhinoplasty surgery.

When is revision rhinoplasty required?

In a small number of cases, patients may request a because they are unhappy with the shape of their new nose or feel it is out of balance with the rest of their facial features. Less common requests for revision rhinoplasty may stem from unrealistic expectations about what a nose job can achieve. Revision rhinoplasty surgery is reserved for those with persistent aesthetic or functional concerns affecting the nose.

How to minimise the risks of rhinoplasty

Most risks of nose surgery can be minimised by ensuring you are a suitable candidate for rhinoplasty surgery. You should clearly understand what the procedure involves, and your expectations for Surgery should be realistic. This may require several preoperative consultations to ensure you completely the procedure and its potential risks. You should follow your surgeon’s preoperative and postoperative instructions in full. Failing to follow these may increase the risk of complications occurring after rhinoplasty surgery.

Although your surgeon may sometimes use 3-D imaging to map the structure of your nose, this should be seen as a rough approximation of the final result. You should not attach excessive importance to how the postoperative images look, Temple Fillers & Forehead Fillers as postoperative healing cannot be controlled. If you smoke, you should avoid smoking for a minimum of four weeks before and after surgery, as this could lead to delayed wound healing and poor cosmetic results. If you have underlying medical issues or localised skin problems affecting the nose, you should inform your surgeon at your consultation. Make sure to take plenty of time to rest and recover, and avoid vigorous activities, including going to the gym, too soon after surgery.
