Professional answers to: What should I ask my doctor during rhinoplasty consultation?
| Dr. Andrew Jacono |
- It is important to ask any plastic surgeon before rhinoplasty how many procedures he performs a year (usually 50 or more a year).
- Rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult operations in plastic surgery, and the risk of complications and poor results is less in surgeons who specialize in this area.
- Doctors who specialize on facial plastic surgery and rhinoplasty are Board Certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructibve Surgery (www.abfprs.org) and members of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (www.aafprs.org).
- Another question that you should ask a plastic surgeon is the approach he uses.
- There is a closed approach in rhinoplasty which has all internal incisions and an open approach that involves a small external incision under the nose that requires 3 fine sutures to close.
- Any good rhinoplasty surgeon should employ both approaches.
- Certain changes in rhinoplasty require a closed approach and more extensive rhinoplasties, such as revision rhinoplasty or rhinoplasty requiring a lot of nasal tip modification, require an open approach.
