Is Rhinoplasty/deviated Septum Surgery A Major One Or Minor One?
Hi, I had a full rhinoplasty/deviated septum surgery 20 years ago. I have thick oily skin and am planning on having my nose thinned and trimmed(tip). Is this considered minor surgery? My dr seems confident about making it look thinner by trimming fat on sides of nose. After reading horror stories online, I am now very scared.. What s your intake on this

Hello,
Thank you for choosing healthcare magic .
I read your question and understood your concern .
I think this is not a minor surgery . You have to think carefully before you decide for the surgery. With any surgery anything can go wrong. There are risks and side effects and complications from anesthesia or surgery itself. I would not recommend the surgery for cosmetic reasons.
