Finding the best rhinoplasty surgeon

 Look for someone who has done thousands of rhinoplasty surgeries and has many years of experience.  Facial plastic surgeons with an original background in ear, nose, and throat surgery tend to do many rhinoplasty surgeries and revision rhinoplasty surgeries.    The prospective surgeon should have a photo gallery with noses that are similar in anatomy to your own.

To increase your chances of having a good outcome after rhinoplasty these are some of the things to look for in a surgeon:

• Performs a large number of rhinoplasty procedures per year (ideally over 100)
• Has good before and after results
• Can show you a simulation of what he/she plans to do for your nose
• Has been performing rhinoplasty for at least 5 years, preferably 10 - 15 years
• Is experienced in advanced rhinoplasty techniques such as open rhinoplasty
• If seeking a revision, ideally your surgeon should be experienced in ear cartilage grafting and rib cartilage grafting
