Finding the right rhinoplasty surgeon for you
Higher cost does not necessarily mean that one surgeon is better than the other. Look for a rhinoplasty surgeon who has preformed thousands of rhinoplasty surgeries in his or her career. It is a good idea to make sure their background is otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat doctor) and that they are board certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Rhinoplasty Surgeon
Thanks for the question.
There is no correlation between price and quality of surgeon.

Experience is very important with rhinoplasty surgery. Additionally, you will be well served to ask to see several before and after pictures in order to get a gestalt of the type of result you can expect.
Warmest Regards,

Choosing the best rhinoplasty surgeon
I would agree that it is very worthwhile to speak with and if possible meet previous patients of the surgeon. Experience counts in rhinoplasty. Reputation counts as well, and not just what the surgeon tells you about him or herself. Things don't always go according to plan, and you want to be in the hands of someone who can deal with unforseen issues. As a basis, I think it's important to have a committed surgeon who likes doing rhinoplasty. I would hope that the surgeon is board...

Carefully select your surgeon by doing research.
Higher surgical fees do represent the success rate of the surgeon. Make sure he/she is board certified, check how much experience they have and do some research on past patient ratings. You can also check if there have been any successful malpractce lawsuits against them. Ask to see before and after photos.
