Amount of time between consultation and rhinoplasty
In our practice most rhinoplasty surgeries are usually performed within two weeks to a couple of months after the consultation. A pre-op appointment regarding anesthesia and the surgical procedure itself is conducted to answer all pre and postoperative questions regarding this type of surgery. It would be unwise to make a rushed decision on such a life-altering event. It is important to find a surgeon who has performed thousands of rhinoplasty surgeries.

Waiting time before Rhinoplasty

Time Between Consultation and Rhinoplasty Surgery
If patients have proper motivations and expectations, they can have surgery as soon as possible after consultation depending on my schedule and theirs. If patients from other states and countries have sent pictures and communicated with me via the internet, I will see them in consultation and do their rhinoplasty in short order if we feel they are good candidates so they can avoid avoid a second trip.

Time between rhinoplasty consultation and surgery
Hello,
It really depends on the availability of your surgeon after the consultation. Some surgeons may be booked for a while, and in other situations there may be openings right away. At that point, it depends on when you feel ready, and when are interested in having your rhinoplasty performed. Please let me know if you have any specific questions regarding rhinoplasty, as I am a rhinoplasty specialist and have a great deal of experience with the procedure. Thank you, and best of luck....

Consultation and rhinoplasty surgery
There is no definite timeline between when you have had your consultation and when you should proceed with surgery. That becomes a personal decision. That being said you should make sure you are happy with the proposed changes, the qualifications of your surgeon and what type of procedure is recommended before proceeding with the actual surgery. I hope this information helps.

Time between rhinoplasty consultation and surgery is a personal decision. I have seen a patient in consult than preformed the surgery within 24 hours. But that takes preoperative planning over the phone or internet. From MIAMI Dr. B
