Pixie nose - seek a surgeon dedicated to nose surgery

Dear Mary, from Providence,

I am often asked this question about a "specialist" for a particular procedure.

As a plastic surgeon who does a fair amount of cosmetic nose surgery I like to tell my patients that as in any procedure they are interested in they should find a surgeon that has dedicated a significant part of his practice to that particular procedure. I know of hardly any surgeons that just do one type of procedure.

I suggest to start by meeting the surgeon, getting a sense of his interest in the procedure, looking at the before/after of his past patients, and if available, speaking to past patients. That process will often give you most of the information you may need to make a good choice.
