Are
there any risks to rhinoplasty? Any surgery creates a possibility of
complications, including infections, nosebleed, or reactions to
anesthesia. Reduce your risks by carefully following your surgeon's
instructions before and after surgery. After the surgery, small burst
blood vessels may appear on your nose as small red spots that are minor
but may be permanent. There is not usually any scarring if the rhinoplasty
incision is inside the nose.
When an "open" technique is used there is a small scar on base
of nose but it is usually invisible.
Some tricks for planning your rhinoplasty are having a high level of
communication with your surgeon and his office. Discuss the rhinoplasty
techniques that are to be performed, what kind of anesthesia will be used,
and the risks associated with the surgery. You need to communicate to your
Doctor about any previous surgery's you might have had, especially nose
surgeries. You also need to tell your Doctor about any allergies you have
or breathing difficulties as well as any medications, vitamins, or
recreational drugs you have taken. If you smoke, you need to tell your
Doctor as he/she might have some advice for you concerning smoking. If you
have any questions, let your Doctor know so that your nerves will not get
irritated.
To prepare for your surgery your Doctor will give you guidelines on eating
and drinking the day before, smoking, what medications you can and cannot
take, and washing your face. Carefully follow the Doctor's instructions to
ensure your rhinoplasty goes smoothly and you heal quickly. Be sure you
arrange for someone to drive you home after your rhinoplasty and help you
out for a couple of days afterwards at home.
Cosmetic surgery is becoming tightly linked with good health as it helps
promote a persons feeling of well being when you look good you feel
good.
