All have pros and cons. While septoplasty is a very common and safe procedure, every surgery has its risks.
Risks of DNS surgery can be :-
Continued symptoms, such as nasal obstruction.
Excessive bleeding.
A change in the shape of your nose.
A hole in the septum.
Decreased sense of smell.
Clotted blood in the nasal space that has to be drained.
Temporary numbness in the upper gum, teeth or nose.
