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).
