Risk Of Rhinoplasty (NOSE JOB)
- Bleeding is the most common post-operative complication after rhinoplasty. Rarely, a patient must be returned to the operating room to control hemorrhage.
- When an "open" rhinoplasty technique has been used or the nostrils have seen though this can often be treated through scar revision or with topical steroids.
- Toxic shock syndrome occurs in a very small proportion of patients - about 1 in 6,250 cases. However, if this occurs, the chances of dying from this complication are roughly 1 in 9.
