Are there complications with nasal surgery for rhinophyma?

Complications with nasal surgeries, like those used to treat rhinophyma, are rare but they can happen. Some complications include the need for further surgery, scarring, infection, and the risks associated with any anesthesia. Fortunately, advances in technology have greatly reduced the incidence of complications from anesthesia. Follow-up care during the healing process after the surgery is very important, so if any complications do occur, they can be treated right away.
