The nose will be very tender while it is healing. While a bump on the nose should not be enough to do any real damage one can expect to see stars. Early complications are unusual, but occasionally bleeding may occur necessitating the placement of nasal packs. Nasal packs which used to be routine at the time of nasal surgery are being used much less frequently in most cases. I rarely pack the nose at time of surgery.
Infection is also a very rare complication of nasal surgery.
It rarely manifests as an acne lesion which might smolder under the splint and is rarely of any consequence. Post-operative swelling and scar tissue formation may be greater in certain individuals. It may be treated by injections of anti-inflammatory steroids. Fees for nasal surgery may depend on how much work needs to be done.
