I had my last septoplasty in an ENT clinic but I'm getting a septoplasty/rhinoplasty now because of the injury I had that changed the external appearance of the nose. My question is, should I have septoplasty/rhinoplasty done in an ENT clinic? I don't get to choose the surgeon. They have a facial plastic surgeon who performs surgery in their clinic twice a year. So, I don't know if I could have a rhinoplasty done by him.
Answer: Rhinoplasty surgeon Although there are many qualified ENT surgeons who perform rhinoplasty well, you must be able to chose your surgeon. The individual who you are referring to may be an excellent surgeon and has fantastic surgical outcomes. If that is the case, check out their web site for photos, if they have one, and also photos of similar patients they have performed the surgery on. You can also ask for patient references. These are not always readily available, but, if they have performed enough rhinoplasties, they will have books of photos and plenty of happy clientele willing to share their stories. Good luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Revision septoplasty rhinoplasty
This can be a difficult procedure and likely cartilage grafting will be required. Get a few consults and choose surgeon who does at least 100 (preferably 200) rhinoplasty procedures/year and has been doing so for 10+ years.

Answer: Find a rhinoplasty surgeon A septo- and rhinoplasty is a very difficult procedure, especially in light of the fact that it is going to be a revision surgery for the patient. Find an ENT doctor who is specialized in performing facial plastic surgery. It is extremely important to find a rhinoplasty surgeon who has performed thousands of rhinoplasty surgeries and has many years of experience doing so. It is also important to have a certified ambulatory surgery center where the procedure is performed, and a board-certified anesthesiologist who is going to be placing you under anesthesia and waking you up after the procedure.

Answer: Choose a surgeon who specializes in nasal surgery Choose a surgeon who specializes in nasal surgery. It is important to realize that not all plastic surgeons, nor all ENT surgeons, routinely perform rhinoplasty in their practices. It is imperative to find one that does. Rhinoplasty takes considerable experience and training to get predictable results. Inquire about what percentage of the doctor's practice is devoted to Rhinoplasty. Your rhinoplasty surgeon should be Board Certified in either Plastic Surgery or Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose, & Throat Surgery). Not all "cosmetic surgeons" have completed the rigorous training that is required to become Board Certified in either one of these specialities. It is important to find a surgeon who understands both the aesthetic (cosmetic) aspects of nasal surgery as well as the functional aspects.

Answer: Well, you opened up a can of worms now, Murad Murad, Septorhinoplasty surgery is one of the areas that ENT and plastic surgery overlap. Both specialists are trained to perform both of the procedures and you may get a great result from either. Remember that there are risks to the surgery no matter who performs it and you should have a discussion with your surgeon/surgeons about the different risk set that secondary (second time) nasal surgery brings to the table. Good luck!

Answer: Nasal Surgery Specialist who has done the most noses Patients are generally best served when their doctor is the most specialized and the most experienced. The principle is universal, whether you need a hand surgeon, eye surgeon or gall bladder surgeon. You need to inquire as to how many combined rhinoplasty and septoplasty operations the doctor has done in his career. If he is board certified and has completed a fellowship that emphasized nasal surgery, you will be in good hands. You need to ask those questions. Then, look at the doctor's before and after albums and speak with -- and even better-- meet with the patients who have had a similar operation. Also, is the visiting doctor who comes " twice a year" going to provide all your post-operative care? Very important. The more homework you do, the better the chances of success.
