Choosing a surgeon to perform your rhinoplasty is a challenging process. Aside from looking for a member of the ASAPS I would recommend speaking to your local physicians. Professional referrals are always a good way to point you in the right direction. Speak to your family doctor, OB/GYN. Someone you are familiar with who you trust. As I am not familiar with the doctors in Jamaica I'm sure your local doctors will have more insight. Once you have a list of those plastic surgeons, It is time to begin the process by going for a consultation. Take your time. Ask many question, View the doctors work and speak to his patients. The more research and hard work that you put in to the process the better the outcomes will be. Good luck.

Hey There Delilah, You need to speak with your surgeon regarding whether his technique will affect your upper lip. At your pre-operative visit, you should be asked to sign an informed consent for surgery. Make sure that you are clear about the risks and complications of your surgery, including...
Full healing of your fracture needs to happen before any attempts at corrective rhinoplasty. I would have you wait at least 6 months, and preferably one year. That way you are ensured that any new fracture done by the surgeon will not crack along the old fracture line. For now, wait for all the...
