5 Health Risks of Nose Surgery

Though the greater majority of nose surgery patients have no problems

with their nose adjustment procedures, there are some that have found

their experience to be nothing short of a disaster.

The level of negative side affects due directly to an intrusive type

procedure is even more traumatizing than any implants, suctions or tucks

because the nose is central to the face and one can do very little to

mask problems related to it.

Including the health risks involved when considering nose surgery is a

wise way to prepare for a surgery. The risks listed below are in no

particular order of occurrence.

Health Risk #1

Adverse reaction to anesthesia: This can happen during the surgery as

you body fights against the pain killing medicine administered to help

with the discomfort of getting nose surgery. Symptoms can range from

mild to sever and can include any of the following: Nausea, Vomiting,

and Diarrhea. Symptoms will subside as the drug is worked out of the

body. Some rare reactions will be much more severe rising the very life

of the patient.

Health Risk #2 Excessive Bleeding: A person undergoing nose surgery can

have excessive bleeding during surgery and during recovery. All

qualified plastic surgeons are prepared for the possibility of this

above average bleeding and will use cauterization or packing the nose to

prevent further blood loss. After surgery the biggest cause of excessive

bleeding is a symptom of elevated blood pressure or an accidental nose

blowing.

Health Risk #3 Infection: As with all invasive cosmetic surgery, there can be no

absolute guarantee against infection. A patient can be at greater risk

if silicone implants or other foreign materials are added to the nose to

add shape support. Increased swelling, redness, tenderness and unusual

drainage are the first signs of infection.

Health Risk #4 Nasal Obstructions: There is no exact science as to how

the nose will actually heal. Scar tissue within the nasal cavity can

build up and cause breathing obstructions. There is also a risk of

having too much space within the air passage which can also cause

breathing difficulties. The best efforts of the surgeon will be applied

to minimize these risks.

Health Risk #5 Residual Damage: The areas surrounding the nose can be

damaged. The danger zones to consider are the tear ducts and the actual

skull injury. Damage to the tear ducts could cause constant tearing,

while damage to the nasal septum near the skull could cause brain fluid

leakage.
