Complications of Rhinoplasty - Page 16

CONCLUSION
An overview of rhinoplasty complications addresses the prevention, diagnosis, and management of common complications of rhinoplasty. Careful preoperative diagnosis and a conservative approach guided by an understanding of the postoperative changes that occur during healing are critical in minimizing complications. These principles are also essential in the treat ment of complications when they occur.
