I need a nose, chin, and my under eye bags fixed. I wonder if I should see a specialist for each?

This question has been asked before, but I am hoping to get some honest and open advice/feedback. We can look at the before and after photos, but I can I can tell some are photoshopped or the lighting has changed (it's what I do for a living.) Reviews and advertisements can be paid or added by the physicians themselves. I need a nose, chin, and my under eye bags fixed and I thought I picked my doctor. The Juvederm he gave didn't work and now I wonder if I should see a specialist for each?

Nose, chin and lower eyelid bags

A board-certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic surgery of the face performs all 3 of these operations consistently. Look for a surgeon who has extensive experience in rhinoplasty since that is the most difficult of the 3 procedures you're contemplating. We do not recommend Juvederm in the lower lids do to multiple complications we have seen from other offices. Please feel free to review our photo gallery for the 3 procedures you are... more

Different surgeons for lids and nose

You should be able to find a well qualified surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who can handle all your needs. You are right in that cosmetic surgery has become very sales oriented, and if you see it on the internet it just might not be true. If you look carefully there still are some honest practices out there.

I need a nose, chin, and my under eye bags fixed. I wonder if I should see a specialist for each?

An experienced Facial Plastic Surgeon will typically be the most experienced expert to handle a combination nasal, chin and eyelid procedure. The key to a successful relationship is trust. It sounds like you haven't trusted the information provided to you in terms or pre- and post-surgery photos as well as reviews. Further, you mention that you're not happy with the filler treatments you've received. It sounds like you should keep looking for a specialist that you trust but there is no... more

Should I see a specialist for each procedure?

In general, you will be in the best hands with a board certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon. Ideally, he or she specializes in rhinoplasty, as it is the most complex of the three procedures. I would recommend establishing good communication with your prospective surgeon. This will ensure you are happy with the result. If you wish to have the procedures performed separately, that is a personal decision. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Rhinoplasty, Chin and Lower Eyelids

This really just comes down to who is the most skilled and puts you the most at ease. All experts do not provide the same results. Given your background, you can probably tell what is right for you. If you need three surgeons then get three surgeons. If you feel comfortable with one, go with that one for all 3. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Any good plastic surgeon can perform all of those procedures. However, the most complicated procedure is the rhinoplasty, so you should concentrate on finding a surgeon who is specifically experienced in noses.

How to select a plastic surgeon for facial cosmetic surgery

The process of selecting a plastic surgeon you trust is the real crux of your question. Ask for recommendations from trusted friends or your family physician. The nurses at the local hospital see most of a... more
