Rhinoplasty carries risks. These include bleeding, infection, anaesthesia-related complications, breathing problems and an outcome that does not meet expectations. Individual risks must be discussed before consent.
Appearance and functional risks
Possible problems include asymmetry, contour irregularity, wound-healing changes, altered sensation and continuing or new breathing difficulty. Further treatment or revision may be needed. No surgeon or technique can make surgery risk-free.
Making an informed decision
Disclose your full health and medicine history, including supplements and nicotine use. Do not stop prescribed medicines without medical advice. Ask which risks matter most for you and how to reach the team if concerns develop.

Frequently asked questions
What are the most common issues after rhinoplasty?
Prolonged swelling, minor asymmetry, small irregularities of the bridge and temporary numbness are among the more common concerns.
Can rhinoplasty affect breathing?
Planning aims to preserve or improve breathing. Over-reduction or weakened support can cause breathing problems later.
How often is revision needed?
It varies with anatomy, skin thickness and previous surgery. Your individual risk should be discussed at consultation.
Is general anaesthesia safe?
All anaesthesia carries some risk. A pre-operative anaesthesia assessment identifies your personal risk factors.
