What are the risks of a rhinoplasty?

• Bleeding, infection, fluid collection (seroma) and delayed wound healing
• Scarring — every incision leaves a permanent scar; placement is planned to be hidden by clothing where possible
• Asymmetry or contour irregularities that may need a revision
• Changes in skin sensation, usually temporary
• Blood clots (DVT/PE) — risk is reduced with early walking, compression devices and, for some patients, anticoagulants
• Anesthesia-related risks, reviewed with you by the anesthesiologist
• Travel-specific considerations: we require a minimum stay in Tijuana before clearing you to fly, and we coordinate aftercare with your home physician

How we manage them: surgery in a hospital with ICU support, a dedicated anesthesiologist, DVT precautions before and after surgery, and in-person follow-up before you are cleared to fly home.

How long do rhinoplasty results last?

Tip refinement continues for about a year as swelling settles. [VERIFY: surgeon’s wording on how long results last]

Individual results vary.
