Can Rhinoplasty be fatal? I know there is always a risk but is it classed as a dangerous procedure?

Asked By:channy687 in New London, CT

Hello Dr's I am soon to be undertaking a rhinoplasty and Lipo but the Dr I am using recently suffered a fatality where a lady died due to multiple organ failure while having multiple procedures. He has done many in the past with amazing results and this is his first death I really trust my DR but I think human nature is setting in and I'm getting increasingly nervous as surgery date approaches. Pls help!
