What complications can rhinoplasty (nasal bridge augmentation) cause?

Sep 14, 2021 Source: Cainiu Health
Disease description:

My nose has always been very flat, somewhat resembling a “bulbous nose,” and I’ve long felt unattractive because of it. I’ve consistently considered rhinoplasty, yet I’m apprehensive about potential complications following the procedure. I’d like to ask: if I opt only for nasal augmentation (e.g., implant placement), are there any possible side effects or complications?

Hello, after nasal bridge augmentation, possible complications may include nasal redness and swelling, pain, bruising, infection, nasal asymmetry, changes in skin color over the nasal surface, wound non-healing, implant rejection, uneven or irregular nasal contour, local stiffness, numbness, and surgical failure. Nasal augmentation should be performed at a reputable hospital or certified cosmetic surgery facility. Postoperative care of the treated area is essential. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
