There’s arguably no plastic surgery that’s a more true combination of surgical technique and aesthetic artistry than a rhinoplasty<\/a>. There are also few places on the face or body with as small a margin of error. Because there’s no fat or muscle to soften the appearance of irregularities, even millimeters can make a difference in the end result, says Dr. Dara Liotta<\/a>, a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City. That’s why it’s so crucial to choose a plastic surgeon with plenty of experience and before and after photos that showcase exceptional results. <\/p>

In assessing rhinoplasty before and afters, the same standard rules for any type of cosmetic procedure B&As apply (for example, consistent lighting and background). But given that noses do vary so much from individual to individual, what other types of things should you look for? It sounds simple, but first and foremost, you should simply like the majority of the noses you see in a doctor’s portfolio of work. “The final outcome of a rhinoplasty is based on what the patient wants, his or her anatomy, and the surgeon’s aesthetic preferences,” says Dr. Liotta. And while every nose is different, there does tend to be some type of common element when you look at multiple rhinoplasties from the same surgeon, adds Beverly Hills, California, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Edwin Kwon<\/a>. While you may not be able to pick up on exactly what that is, if you like the majority of the photos you’re seeing, that’s a good indication that you and that surgeon have a similar sense of what is aesthetically pleasing, he says.<\/p>

But there are also some more specifics to keep an eye out for. Here, six things plastic surgeons say are most important to look for in nose job before and after photos.<\/p>

1. A variety of noses and fixes<\/h2>

While most plastic surgeons do have their own “style,” you still want to make sure they’ve operated on different types of noses and performed different types of nose jobs. Dr. Kwon suggests looking for photos that feature patients of multiple ethnicities and with varying nose sizes as well as different types of fixes, such as smoothed-out bumps and refined tips. “This means that the surgeon can provide a variety of results and has a variety of different tools in their skill set that he or she can rely on,” says Dr. Yael Halaas<\/a>, a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City. This is important because the nose is unpredictable—you never know what’s going to happen until you open it up—and you want to make sure your doctor has many different techniques that they can use to address whatever may come up, she explains.<\/p>
