Can a plastic surgeon tell if I had a rhinoplasty before when performing one?

Asked By:Jadson_ in Öhringen, DE

Can he tell if I had one whe I go for evaluation and when he is performing on me?. Is there any surgical threads inside ? And can he tell if the cartilage had some work done?. And when he decides to use and external cartilage? Is it because the nose is thin or weak by external examination or when he is performing the operation?. And how necessary is it to tell the surgeon that I had one before and why? Thank you
