Risks of Rhinoplasty? How likely is it that that risk can occur and how can it be avoided?

Jen in NJ
I was researching the risks or rhinoplasty online today and I would like to know if they are true, if so how likely is it that that risk can occur and how can it be avoided? - the possibility of heart attack or stroke because of a blood clot( it was not explained) - lose of sense of smell - lose of feeling in nose - bad reaction to anesthesia as a health 20 year old woman should I be very concerned about these things?
