Hi Doctors, I’ve been considering rhinoplasty for over 20 years and am now seriously looking into it. However, as a single parent, I’m particularly concerned about the risk of major complications, including death. Are there any statistics available on the probability of such complications? How does the risk of major complications with rhinoplasty compare to other plastic surgeries? Thanks!!
