What complications can occur with rhinoplasty? How should I deal with them?

Any surgery will have corresponding risks as well as postoperative recovery process, and comprehensive rhinoplasty is no exception. 1, swelling, bruising: dorsal nasal filler needs to separate a cavity in the dorsum of the nose, silicone prosthesis or autologous cartilage into the cavity. This tissue trauma will lead to postoperative swelling, bruising. The degree and duration of swelling and bruising varies between individuals and is directly related to the surgical procedure. Generally, the most obvious time for swelling and bruising is about 1 week. 2, nasal skew: nasal skew is a common complication after all rhinoplasty, such as nasal root skew, nasal axis skew, nasal tip skew. There are two main reasons for its occurrence: (1) due to the patient’s own basic conditions, such as the axis of the bridge of the nose is not correct, the septum is crooked, the nasal column is crooked and so on. (2) As a result of the surgery itself, such as intraoperative separation of cavities skewed, separation of cavities too small and incomplete, separation of uneven levels, asymmetric sculpture of the silicone gel prosthesis, skewed tip stent, asymmetric nasal tension leading to skewing, etc. (3) Nasal skin ulceration: It is mainly caused by the continuous excessive pressure exerted by the implant on the skin, and it is prone to occur in patients with excessive rhinoplasty or poor skin compliance. If localized redness or whitening of the skin of the nose, especially the tip, is found after surgery, early follow-up should be made. If necessary, revision surgery can be performed to avoid breakouts and skin scarring. However, since autologous cartilage is often placed in the tip of the nose to support the tip or the nasal columella, the risk of nasal skin necrosis and ulceration is lower than that of a simple prosthetic rhinoplasty.
