What Are The Risks of Rhinoplasty?

With warm weather comes more comfortable clothing, exciting vacations, and even trips to the beach to enjoy the sun and water. Many of our patients find that as they plan to head out in bathing suits, they can’t help but look in the mirror and notice things about their appearance that they wish they could change. Diet and exercise can give you the beach body of your dreams, but what if you have facial features that don’t fit the appearance you want for yourself? Here at Providence Facial Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, we specialize in an array of procedures, both invasive and non-invasive, that can help restore the appearance of your face and even significantly improve the balance and symmetry of your facial features. 

Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular surgical procedures we offer. It can offer dramatic results and change the size, shape, alignment, and smoothness of your nose. Rhinoplasty can even improve nose function and make it easier for you to breathe. Of course, with any serious surgical procedure comes certain risks, like those that come along with any use of anesthesia. Other risks particular to Rhinoplasty include infection, poor wound healing or scarring, change in skin sensation, difficulty breathing, unsatisfactory results, and skin discoloration and swelling. 

Many of our patients worry that their procedure will not produce the results they desire or leave them with some other unfortunate side effect. One of the best ways to reduce the risks of Rhinoplasty is to choose a highly qualified, experienced surgeon who has performed hundreds of different Rhinoplasty procedures with good results. We recommend you attend a few different consultations so you can compare the expertise of different surgeons. Not every surgeon specializes in Rhinoplasty, after all. Where some surgeons focus on procedures that target other areas of the body, Dr. Ginsburg specializes in facial procedures and is highly experienced at performing Rhinoplasty customized to the needs, goals, and unique circumstances of each of his patients. Rather than performing a one-size-fits-all procedure, Dr. Ginsburg will meet with you one-on-one to carefully review your goals and assess the shape and size of your nose. Your procedure will be customized especially for you and focus on getting you the goals you desire.
