Hello, the risks of a rhinoplasty are infection, bleeding, and asymmetry which are all extremely rare. You may have difficulty breathing secondary to the swelling for a week. You may have bruising under the eyes and swelling for a week. If you have any further questions or inquiries please visit my website at Drroya.com. Good luck!
The primary risk while recovering from a nose job is excessive bleeding, which is rare, but can occur. It is usually successfully treated with additional packing inside the nose. Otherwise, nose job surgery carries a high level of patient satisfaction.
Good luck.
If you are an appropriate candidate and have reasonable expectations, the risks are few and rare. You will have some swelling and black and blue and little bleeding, the pain in minimal. Go for a consultation and make sure the surgeon goes over all of them.

Mild swelling and pain. Make sure you understand how your nose shape will change.
A nose job, rhinoplasty, has many risks based upon the particular step involved. The major risk to you is that you don't end up with the nose result you want. Therefore, it is very important that you relay your desires to your surgeon and discuss the specific potential problems with the surgeon.

Some of the most common risks of rhinoplasty include but are not limited to unsatisfactory result, nasal obstruction, bleeding, and infection. Risk of adverse events is typically low. Ask your facial plastic surgeon to review all possible risks prior to your procedure.
