“Get a nose surgeon, not a general plastic surgeon”
Rhinoplasty: NOT worth it
Cost: $4,250
Pain: Uncomfortable
Pain: Uncomfortable
Rhinoplasty satisfaction: Fair
Make sure you go to a surgeon who only does noses. Your nose is really important part of your body. I got a nose job because as you get older your cartilege grows and this became a problem for me. I just didn't think my nose was that attractive.
Since I've had my nose job my nose runs contantly, I have more allergies, and its aggrevated. Make sure you do your research ahead of time because this is really important surgery...it's not just cosmetic.

I had my rhino-septioplasty done by a Board Certified, Chief of the HNS/ENT dept @ Kaiser who came highly recommended. Now, all HNS Md's are surgeons and CAN do these surgeries, but he also specialized in Plastics, which is very important when it comes to have this done. I felt more comfortable with a Md who has an actual "medical/results orientated" based background rather than just a "asthetics/cosmetic" background. I think it's best this way as they desire both aspects/results from the procedure... not just how it looks, but also how it works afterwards. If you want his name & have Kaiser coverage, please contact me & I can give you his info! You will also love him for his awesome care and personality!

Thanks for the reply! I am actually going to be seeing Sam Naficy in about 2 weeks, he is very well certified as well.

Board certified plastic surgeons or an ENT with interest in cosmetic nasal surgery are your best bet. There is no thing as a "general plastic surgeon"; there are plastic surgeons and ENT surgeons who do facial plastic surgery. Your results will be most dependent on the surgeon you choose.
