What Should I Ask my Doctor at Consultation for Rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Going to a Rhinoplasty consultation with the Doctor I hope to have my surgery with next month. I need some advice on what to ask him and what I want changed on my nose. I would obviously like the hump shaved down to be straight and would like the nose made smaller in general. I am worried about the tip and the columella. At the minute the tip over projects and the columella is different on each side (hangs down on my left side). How will he fix my tip and columella and what should I ask him?

Your Rhinoplasty Consultation

At your consultation, computerized preview imaging may help you to visualize your improved facial and nasal appearance possibilities. Your Surgeon will be able to best advise you after seeing your case in person.

Rhinoplaty may not be indicated when you already have good looking nose.

Hi. Your pictures show an attractive nose. So the things to focus on are your motivation, and what exactly you would like changed. You could easily end up looking worse afterwards. So you should proceed with extreme caution and get several consultations. see video
