Going to a doctor with limited or no ethnic rhinoplasty experience - is this a good idea?

Asked By:prunegbu in Les Bons Villers, Région Wallonne, Belgium
Hello I’m a 25 year old female hoping to get a nose job in September. I live in Belgium and was thinking about getting the procedure done in Belgium or flying to turkey. I have found expert surgeons in both countries. The surgeon in turkey has ample ethnic rhinoplasty experience but I’m a bit worried about follow-up, possible complications and so forth. Getting the nose job done in Belgium means I’m closer to my surgeon but I’m not too sure about his experience with ethnic nose jobs ( I asked his clinic and didnt get a straight forward answer). My question is do I go to Turkey for the experience or stay in Belgium? Can an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon with little or no experience with ethnic nose operate on an ethnic nose? Please help me. Thank you

Best Regards!
