Do your homework and schedule a few consultations to evaluate your rhinoplasty surgeon

Otto Joseph Placik, 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?

Choosing the right doctor is a complex decision that involves many issues.

First make sure they are licensed and board certified.

Check reviews.

Meet with at least two and maybe three physicians to discuss your concerns.

There are many physicians who specialize in rhinoplasty and you should not be afraid to ask.
