Can the Doctor Give Me an Idea of What my Nose Will Look Like After Surgery?

Some doctor’s offices are equipped with
computer imaging software, which they can use to manipulate a digitized replication
of your nose and to thus give you an idea of how a nose job can benefit you.
This is a great tool for accurate profile view however it is not a great
indication of a surgeon’s results. You can still get a pretty clear idea of the
surgeon’s work by assessing the results of past patients. Always ask to see
before-and-after photos of work done by the surgeon, as these examples can give
you a good indication of what to expect for your own nose job. 

Computer imaging has become the standard pre-operative tool for the rhinoplasty surgeon. It sold school to cling to the belief it causes too rigid patient expectations. And the other issue of medico legal risk to the surgeon can be dealt with by truly informed consent. The cost is truly market driven, with more popular, (and hopefully better!) surgeons charging more. You're a great candidate, so go for it.

Hello,

Computer imaging is not a perfect technology for every type of cosmetic surgery, but it is excellent for visualizing the potential results of cosmetic rhinoplasty. You should seek out a qualified cosmetic rhinoplasty expert in your area who offers computer imaging as a standard part of the consult. If your surgeon is an expert, they will be able to show you different degrees of change to your nose and use your morphed images as a communication tool to come to some agreement on the appropriate surgical plan.

Computer Imaging is a routine part of a Rhinoplasty Consultation. It lets you see how you'll look, and it reassures your surgeon that realistic expectations are established. I routinely bring computer-imaged photos to the OR as a reference to what was established pre-operatively.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Any surgeon can do this either with imaging or your photos. But this is quite misleading. My son can make you a great nose on the computer and he knows nothing about rhinoplasty. Go to an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon whose results you like the best.
