Expert in rhinoplasty

Specialization in rhinoplasty surgery, more than perhaps any other facial plastic surgery procedure, is essential for achieving consistent aesthetic results. These are one of the most challenging procedures, and therefore the patient should choose a surgeon who specializes in this.

I always advise my patients to look at the following:

1.  number of cases performed weekly and the years in practice

2.  board certification-surgeons board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic Surgery are (and I may be biased here) going to be, in GENERAL, the most experienced and well trained in rhinoplasty surgery, but this is not to say that some surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery are not experienced and proficient in this procedure

3.  lots of photos of before and afters

4.  good communication and listening skills by the surgeon, who also provides computer imaging to help facilitate this process.

Doing your homework prior to the procedure will go a very long way to assuring the best possible result.

Rhinoplasty is a procedure that can dramatically improve a person's appearance. There are several important factors in selecting a surgeon that is right for you.

1. First, he should be experienced in the art of rhinoplasty and should perform the procedure routinely.
2. It is just as important to select a physician who has the an aesthetic ideal which you favor. Some surgeons favor a certain aesthetic which may not appeal to you. In the end, patients gravitate to certain surgeons because of what he/she believes to be an ideal nose.
3. Apart from those two important points, all of the other considerations which should be given to selecting a physician, such as board certification and comfort apply.
