Will my Surgeon Be More Likely to Do a Better Job on my Rhinoplasty if I'm His First Surgery of the Day or the Last?

In my opinion a rhinoplasty should be treated as a complex precision oriented sugery.   Good rhinoplasty requires a significant degree of attention to detail and focus.  If your surgeon beleives he/she can do a good job as the first or last case that sounds reasonable.  Perhaps you coudl ask your surgeon when he/she would schedule a family member or friend.

The maximum number of nose jobs I will schedule for a morning is three. As long as your surgeon is expert at rhinoplasty, you should be fine if your case is within the first three of the day. 

Rhinoplasty may take around two hours, and after 6 hours of intense concentration (3 cases), I'm ready to leave the surgicenter. Other surgeons may have different levels of mental stamina: this commentary is based on my personal preference.

Hope this helps.
