How Many People Have Long Term Difficulty Breathing After Rhinoplasty?

Dear dasikins,


Most experts in rhinoplasty can prevent problems with breathing after surgery

Of course, nothing is guaranteed, but we do surgical maneuvers inside the nose to help prevent post-operative collapse

Seek out a surgeon who does a significant number of rhinoplasties for both cosmetic and functional issues

The better question is not how many people have breathing problems after rhinoplasty but will you? If your surgery is performed by a competent rhinoplasty surgeon who also addresses other potential/existent intranasal breathing issues such as enlarged turbinates and septal deformities, the risks for you should be fairly low.
