Is there higher risk of patient dissatisfaction with more complicated procedures?

Hello first of all I need to see your photos before giving the decision if you will need cartilage on your nose

The best way to determine what specific changes will look good on your face, and what changes are surgically possible, is to do your research to find the top rhinoplasty specialists and consult with several of them in person. During your consultation, your photos can be computer-morphed to show how the changes to your nose will affect your appearance. The amount of cartilage that is necessary depends on the degree of tip projection and dorsal augmentation you want to achieve (how tall you want to make your nose). If you only want a conservative amount, it may be attainable with cartilage harvested from your septum. For a more dramatic change, additional cartilage is necessary which can be obtained from your rib. Good luck! @drdonyoo @asianrhinoplasty

Hi Helpful152585,
Thanks for asking this question. It is a complex answer. It is hard to describe what will happen to your nose without pictures or a consultation. An experienced surgeon will have a low complication rate. I would be cautious of any surgeon who tells you they have no complications. If you're concerned about the recommendations from the surgeon you met, I recommend you seek another opinion with a board certified surgeon, ideally someone who has good experience in rhinoplasty. I hope this helps.
All the best,Dr. Sanan, MD
