Hi, my name is April, I'm 26, and healthy. However, I'm having Rhinoplasty in a few weeks, I am extremely scared! I have had corrective nasal surgery before when I was in high school. Being said, although I have had a similar procedure before; should I be this afraid to receive anesthesia and fatal complications from the surgery? Is there any extra precautions I can be made aware of to reduce my risk of something terrible taking place?!?
