Long term effects of rhinoplasty?

January 10, 2015
Asked By:AlinaB in Little York, IN

I've been reading about how patients who had rhinoplasty done 10 or 20 years ago can later suffer "shrinkage" of the surrounding tissues, which results in a pinched look and breathing difficulties, is this long term risk very common with rhinoplasty? Or are these just cases where too much cartilage was removed?
