This information is provided for educational purposes, to help you make an informed decision about rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is a technically demanding procedure, and the decision to proceed should be considered carefully.
Possible risks
As with any surgery, rhinoplasty carries risks. These include, but are not limited to:
Scarring, infection, and bleeding
Excessive bruising
Septal perforation
Numbness or altered sensation
Loss of sense of smell
Skin changes, including telangiectasia
Asymmetry
An unsatisfactory aesthetic outcome
The possibility of requiring revision surgery
No surgeon can guarantee a specific result, and healing and final results vary between individuals.
Your wellbeing matters
Rhinoplasty can have a meaningful impact on confidence and wellbeing, but it’s important to have realistic expectations about what surgery can achieve. If you’re affected by anxiety, body image concerns, or other mental health difficulties, it’s important these are addressed with the appropriate healthcare professionals. Mr Ranganathan may recommend this as part of your assessment before proceeding with surgery.
Every consultation includes an open discussion of the risks, limitations, and realistic outcomes relevant to your individual case.
