Potential Complications
- Infection is the most common complication
- Flap necrosis and failure – dissection in the region of the supraorbital rims should be done carefully so as not to disrupt the blood supply.
- Post-operative bleeding
- Wound dehiscence (2.5%)
- Nasal obstruction – appropriate utilization of cartilage graft and internal lining reconstruction may mitigate this risk.
