The most difficult plastic surgery procedure is a rhinoplasty. The reason for this is that the nose is three dimensional and requires correction of the underlying structures, soft tissue, cartilage and bone. The interrelationships of those three tissues can alter the shape and final appearance after rhinoplasty surgery.
My recommendation would be to go to a surgeon who has done a large number of those procedures since they have more experience. A lot of general plastic surgeons only do a few of them a year and have not achieved the greater level of expertise. Most facial plastic surgeons have done a large number of those procedures. However, some general plastic surgeons also have done that additional training and have experience there as well. The most important question to ask is how many they do a year and what is their revision rate. If they say their revision rate is zero, then I would go elsewhere. Also, the best rhinoplasty surgeons are the ones who can do a revision themselves and do not refer those patients out.
