From Elevate Magazine: “Between five and 10 percent of all rhinoplasty operations require a revision surgery, says Dr. Richard Rival, a facial plastic surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty in Toronto. The reason? “Either the surgeon took too much away or didn’t take enough away,” he explains. The result: Noticeable asymmetry (one side looks bigger, smaller or just plain different from the other). Other side-effects of an unsuccessful rhinoplasty include: small, permanent bumps on the nose that can require a minor procedure to smooth out; necrosis, a rare condition in which the skin dies; narrowed breathing passages; and skin discolouration due to damaged blood vessels.”
