Like any surgery, this procedure carries the potential for negative outcomes, complications, or harm due to both anticipated and unanticipated causes. There can be no assurance given as to the outcomes or potential complications because each patient differs in their response to surgery, their anesthetic reactions, and their healing outcomes.
The medical literature has documented the following complications. This is not a comprehensive list of all potential complications. Even though many of these consequences are uncommon, they have all occasionally happened when skilled surgeons were performing the accepted level of care in the community.
- Failure to straighten the septum or subsequent re-deviation of the septum, collapse of the nasal cartilage, or regrowth or swelling of the turbinate’s are all causes of nasal blockage.
- Inability to treat concurrent sinus infections, recurrence of concurrent sinus issues and/or polyps, or the requirement for additional or more drastic surgery.

- Permanent numbness of the face, palate, or upper teeth.
- Prolonged pain, sluggish healing, and hospitalization.
