Rhinoplasty nose change visualization?

Can an experienced surgeon visualize the aesthetic changes that a rhinoplasty will bring? an experienced surgeon can look at a nose and know exactly what changes he would like to bring about and can easily determine in his minds eye how he will go about doing that. His experience with similar noses in the past is a far more reliable determinant of the outcome than any computer imaging. A novice can draw or image on the computer the perfect nose every time, But can’t necessarily produce it in the operating room. Experience, good aesthetic taste, and a keen aesthetic Eye are far more reliable than computer imaging.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
If one is aware of the intricate structures of the nose and all of its components and how they each contribute to nasal shape, one can usually determine what can and what cannot be achieved through surgery.
Computer simulations are basically alterations in a photograph modified digitally. There is no correlation to actual anatomy. If used, it may allow the surgeon to learn more precisely what the patient desires, not necessarily what can be accomplished in real life. It allows for a discussion between surgeon and patient to ensure realistic expectations.
Handmade drawings also demonstrate what the patient desires, not what can actually be accomplished (and if a poor artist, may be totally deceiving!).
One can use a grease pencil on a photograph to draw a desired result as well.
Many plastic surgeons do not use these methods. It would be wise to look at the surgeon's own pre and postoperative rhinoplasty photograph albums to see representative results.
Best wishes...
