Asked By:deltas29 in Maryland, MD

I had my first nose surgery in 2014. I said no. I was not comfortable disclosing this information with my new surgeon.My question is should I go back and inform my new plastic surgeon that wants to perform my rhinoplasty, that I previously had rhinoplasty, or could he tell when he looked in my nose during consultation? My other question is, if I do decide to tell my new plastic surgeon that I had a previous nose surgery how should I tell the new surgeon? Or should I just schedule the surgery and move on.
