Cant decide between two doctors for revision rhinoplasty... HELP!

Question

Hi, I will have revision this summer. There are two doctors where I live in Europe that im considering. Both are ENT/Facial surgeons. Here are some things you can see for help: 1st one: Op. Dr, good in advertisements so he has tons of happy patients. 2nd: Prof. Dr. he was also the prof of the first one. He told me 6 months is enough for revision. He said 3 in 100 of his patients get revision. He doesnt have as many patients as the first one. Idk what to do! How can i pick?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Both sound reasonable.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds  
of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year.  Then look at the 
 plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a   
sense of who can deliver the results. 	Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Robert Singer, MD · Answer

Either surgeon sounds like a reasonable choice. You should ultimately choose the surgeon that you are most comfortable with.If you were a member of my family, I would
suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic
Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic
Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. If you live outside of
the United States, the surgeon should ideally be a member of the International
Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). You should discuss your concerns
with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD  FACSLa Jolla, California

William Portuese, MD · Answer

It sounds as though both surgeons are excellent and have lots of experience and rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty. It is best to wait at least a year before undergoing a revision surgery.

George C. Peck, Jr, MD · Answer

It sounds like both of your choices are good ones. You have had consultations with both so go with your gut.Best wishes

Both appear to be experienced so I would go with that MD you feel most comfortable with and choose that MD who via digitally altering photos of you can show you how you might look following surgery Dr Corbin
