Rhinoplasty
Complications and Telltale Signs of Trouble
Bleeding may
occur during or following any operation. If your bleeding is significant,
you may require nasal packing to control it.
Sinusitis is
an infection of the sinuses which can occur due to swelling of the
nasal membranes following plastic surgery of the nose - or any nose
surgery. Once it is identified, it is often remedied with antibiotics
and medications that shrink the nasal lining.
Nasal obstruction may occur due to inward placement of your nasal
bones. This is not common, as the majority of airflow through the
nose occurs near the floor of the nose, not near the nasal bones.
Undesirable appearance may occur. Examples include a scooped out nose (which
has a concave appearance on profile), a polly beak (which looks
like a parrot's bill on profile), a pug nose (which is a small upturned
nose), or a pinched tip. Some of these are preventable, but all
of them can make your nose appear unnatural. They are called telltale
signs, because they can only be attributed to previous plastic surgery
of the nose. The only way to correct these problems is through revision
nose job surgery (see Tips and Traps, below).
