Choosing the right surgeon may be difficult for any procedure you are considering. However, rhinoplasty or cosmetic nose surgery can be one of the most complex types of plastic surgery. You are dealing with a facial structure that clothing cannot hide after surgery. The nose is not just composed of soft tissue and skin like the breast, abdomen or eyes. There is also cartilage and bone that needs to be addressed. Not to mention the functional or breathing aspect of the nose that must be respected if not improved. It is important to seek a surgeon who not only understands how to attain an aesthetically pleasing nose, but maintain a good nasal airway and breathing. It is important to ask your surgeon how many nose jobs they perform per year and how comfortable they are with YOUR nose. You should see eye to eye with your surgeon regarding expectations for your outcome and review digital imaging with him or her. You should be able to review their before and after photographs, appreciate the changes made, and find a nose similar to your own. In the end, this is your face and you should feel most comfortable with the surgeon that is taking it in his/her hands.
