In rare cases, it is possible for the end result to be less than desirable. This is usually due to an aggressive technique. Sometimes, less is more with rhinoplasty.

Communication

Talking to your surgeon and making sure he understands your desires and fears is what you need to do. Also look at the photos he shows you. If you don't like his results, don't do it with him. Communication is key.

The best way to avoid this is to do your research, find an qualified surgeon, and be sure in your discussions with your surgeon that you clearly express exactly what your vision and goals are for your nose.
