If I have a nose correction surgery to get rid of a bump on my nose
Q. If I have a nose correction surgery to get rid of a bump on my nose am I putting myself at risk since the nose is part of the upper respiratory system and the operation just might cut off my breathing while it is being performed? I have heard stories of people being unable to breathe so wanted to ask what is risk if this happening? Many thanks
A. Thank you for your enquiry. The risk of problems with breathing through the nose exists in the context of rhinoplasty. It is fortunately very low, and more likely to happen if very large reductions take place, or when there are pre-existing nasal airway problems.
