Septoplasty Side Effects - Dorsal Augmentation, Turbinate Reduction I have posted a few questions on this site regarding septoplasty and dorsal augmentation. I will be getting both in junction with turbinate reduction. I was wondering, what are some of the side effects from this type of surgery? Will I develop unwanted lumps on the bridge of my nose as a result of scar tissue, and if so, what can be done to solve this problem? After my surgery I will be giving a review of the outcome of the surgery. I am also on small amount of corticosterioids for my lupus. Will that affect the healing process? I have consent of my rhematologist and PCP.

A: dorsal augmentation and turbinate reductiona

Every surgery has complications. Some procedure are more likely to produce unexpected results. Dorsal augmentation is one of them. Depending on the type of graft used and the thickness of the skin covering the nasal dorsum, there can be irregularities visible especially after a few years. You should make sure your surgeon is experienced and discuss these possibilities carefully.
