Answer: Death Risk in Septorhinoplasty Thanks for having the courage to ask a question almost every patient worries about. Any time you give up control, it can be scary and may trigger anxiety. The best thing to do is gather information.

Answer: Risks of rhinoplasty Life threatening risks are rhinoplasty are very small, especially in the hands of competent professionals. Make sure that not only your surgeon is board certified but your anesthesiologist as well. The risk of death is extremely remote, but many patients are nervous prior to surgery.

Answer: Chances of death with rhinoplasty? first you need to have your anxiety controlled by your family doctor with medication if necessary. Otherwise, in 40 years and thousands of rhinoplasties we have not had any person ever go to the hospital for any problem after rhinoplasty. No serious complication. I have done rhinoplasty on my own family members. Is that possible yes but extremely unlikely if you go to a trained surgeon, certified anesthetist, and certified facility.

Answer: Anxiety before rhinoplasty First off, while I think any reasonable person would have the same concerns you do if it is the primary concern and you have a lot of anxiety you need to get those things under control before you ever venture into surgery of any kind. Not feeling confident about what you're about to do end not clearly understanding the risks and benefits is a bad thing.If you are largely worried about the worst possible outcomes such as death or a"botched" surgery you should not be having surgery.All that being said the odds of you dying during surgery are very very low in a young healthy person. They're also relatively low an older unhealthy people.Chase Lay, MD

Answer: What are the chances of dying from a rhinoplasty and septoplasty? First of all, it is very important to get your anxiety under control with therapy and medical management before electing to undergo a cosmetic surgery procedure. Your question is very difficult answer since they are so much variability in the way rhinoplasty is being performed. In some practices, the surgeon performs their own anesthesia in addition performing the surgery, so therefore the risks will be much higher. In our practice, we perform all rhinoplastys under general anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure. A board certified physician anesthesiologist performs all of the anesthesia in our Medicare Certified and Washington State licensed outpatient surgery Center. This allows for maximum patient safety and comfort. Anesthesia administered by a board certified physician anesthesiologist is extremely safe today.
