Nasal Surgery recontours the nose by adjusting the size, removing a bump, altering the tip, bridge, or span of the nostrils, or by changing the angle between the nose and upper lip. The procedure generally is performed on an out-patient basis and can cause temporary swelling, bleeding, bruising or headaches. Potential complications include infection, skin discoloration, or incomplete improvement requiring follow-up surgery. Patients generally return to work within two weeks and to strenous activity soon after. The result is permanent.
