Risks of Rhinoplasty

One popular cosmetic procedure is, or reconstruction of the cosmetic appearance of an individual’s nose. This surgery can correct several different aspects of the nose, including size/shape of nostrils, eliminating bumps, lifting/defining the tip or shortening/lengthening the nose altogether. While generally safe, there are still a host of risks that are associated with it. Because of this, patients should be cognizant of these dangers before going under the knife.

As with any physician, cosmetic surgeons are responsible for providing a reasonable standard of care to their patients. This includes doing the procedure correctly, providing accurate advice, and providing optimal pre- and post-op care. If this does not occur, patients have the right to sue their physician for medical malpractice.
