The basics are important in your search, such as: A board certified plastic surgeon or facial palstc surgeon. Has "done a lot of noses." Has done diffcult noses (ethnic, revisions,... more

Rhinoplasty is considered by almost all plastic surgeons...

Rhinoplasty is considered by almost all plastic surgeons as the most difficult operation that they do. Performing a rhinoplasty operation requires knowing what a nose should look like and how it functions. In my opinion, producing a nose that looks great but you can't breath through is a failed operation. Finding a rhinoplasty surgeon who is trained in the function and aesthetic of the nose is important. Find a surgeon who is honest about what they can deliver while maintaining the function... more

It's your face, it's important! How do you choose a rhinoplasty surgeon carefully?

Great question! I've put a lot of thought to this over the years and here's my answer: If I were looking for a surgeon to operate on my nose it would be a really big deal, like maybe one of the top three decisions I make in my life, so I would do the following: I would take my time and see at least two surgeons, possibly three. I would look for a ton of before and after images, very important to see frontal views, not just side views! I would... more

How to find the best rhinoplasty surgeon

This question can be equally applied to any other surgical procedure, and although there is no definitive answer, there are a few guide lines that can help you find a good surgeon. 1. Training: This is the easiest fact to check. Ensure that the surgeon was trained at a reputable program. Subspecilaty training i.e. fellowship training is important.

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... more

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.

Finding Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon Requires Diligence

There are many skillful Rhinoplasty surgeons. You must do your due diligence to find someone you are comfortable with and who describes an outcome that you can understand. The dialogue between the surgeon and patient for this procedure must be substantial. I frequently do 2 or even 3 consultations with the patient before we schedule. A good result should resolve the problems identified and not become a “plastic surgical creation”. This should look like your nose and fit the rest... more

There is no such thing as the best anything. There are only degrees of quality and reproducibility of results. There is an old adage that "Good judgment comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgment." Essentially, expertise in rhinoplasty comes from experience in managing both simple and difficult rhinoplasty cases. Selecting a surgeon is a challenging process. A good start is to select a board-certified plastic surgeon, who is a member of ASAPS, which requires... more

Word of mouth is the best way to find a good surgeon

Keep in mind that there are many marketing techniques that doctors use to get the word out about their practices. Some doctors spend a LOT more money than others on marketing and therefore get higher positions on Google and other search engines. That DOES NOT mean they are the best, only that they spent the MOST money. In general, the highest end (and often considered the BEST) surgeons don't spend any money at all on advertising or marketing because they have such good word of mouth... more

Best Rhinoplasty surgeon should be board-certified and experienced

As with any doctor, it is important to find the best one. I recently wrote an article on how to find the best plastic surgeon. The essential message was that the surgeon should be a board certified plastic surgeon. Make sure that he has a lot of experience performing both primary rhinoplasties as well as a good reputation performing revision rhinoplasties. Finally, review before and after pictures.

It goes without saying that from your surgeon you want brilliance, understanding, resourcefulness, great training, the best hands and eyes in the business, and a calming manner. But you also need him or her to have professional qualifications. No matter whom you pick, your doctor should have the proper certification and experience necessary to perform a rhinoplasty. You should expect your doctor to be more than just aware of, but positively fluent in, such recent and dramatic advances. Above... more

Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging procedures in plastic surgery. It is a procedure characterised by millimetre precision, along with fine skills and judgement. Because of this, it is important to ask your plastic surgeon if he performs this procedure on a regular basis, how many he has performed, what is his revision rate, and what would the financial implications be of an unfavourable result (in other words, would you have to pay for a revision if you didn’t like the... more
