A Nosejob Is a Nosejob

Tanveer Janjua, MD answers: Pixie nose shape require a rhinoplasty specialist?

Some people think my nose is cute because it’s pixie or elf-like. When I was younger boys made fun of me, calling me stuck up because of my nose shape. When I look at my friends and celebs no one has a nose like mine. I don’t feel sexy and I’m obviously self conscious about it. I’m considering finding a plastic surgeon for a nose job. Does anyone know if some surgeons specialize by type of nose job, or is a nose job just a nose job?

There are no specialists for each type of rhinoplasty. There are some who excel in ethnic noses. However, when it comes to a regular rhinoplasty all you want is someone who is really good with rhinoplasties. Get a few opinions, look at their results and then decide. Also make sure you discuss in exact words what your desires and expectations are.

Regards
