Why are there so many bad reviews about plastic/facial surgeons performing rhinoplasty, even though they are considered experts by their peers whereas the less well-known surgeons have much better reviews. Who to trust while choosing a surgeon for a rhinoplasty?

Answer: Bad Reviews for Rhinoplasty Surgeons
Unfortunately, even the best rhinoplasty surgeons will have a few naysayers from a less than anticipated result. Some people may not be satisfied by any result. Some may have an axe to grind. The person writing the review may not have been a patient. Who knows. Credentials and education are pretty good indicators of competence and are not subject to those biases.

Answer: Finding a Trustworthy Plastic Surgeon
When selecting a PS for Rhinoplasty, always start with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Review the before and after photos, and select someone who is experienced specifically in rhinoplasty. Ask to meet or at least talk with other rhinoplasty patients they’ve operated on. Most importantly, select a surgeon that you feel comfortable with; one that you would not afraid to ask difficult questions of in the event your result is less than you expected. Make sure to discuss your expectations to determine if the surgeon will be able to achieve those expectations. Good Luck to you!
