Accepted Answer

Rhinoplasty : Rhinoplasty is a very challenging surgery. Results will vary depending on the level of specialty from the surgeon performing the procedure. In the last 10 yrs, or so, patients have become more knowledgable about seeking rhinoplasty specialist to perform this particular surgery. 
This type of surgeons, by performing more of this type of surgery, become more experienced and the chances of a good result is higher. As with any operation, there are multiple potential risks, which are beyond the scope of this forum.
If you are serious about a rhinoplasty, schedule a consultation, and discuss in person with the surgeon. Otherwise you can get the general potential complications on line.

Best of luck,
