The best rhinoplasty in Nashville?

Thank you for your question.  You're on the right track by searching the internet and social media first, but many plastic surgeons will have photographs that are not posted on the internet and will provide them during your consultation.  In your rhinoplasty
consultation, be sure your surgeon addresses all your aesthetic goals and concerns
specifically, and discusses the surgery details including the position and size
of the incisions used (with actual photographs and not just digital animations),
the risks and benefits of the procedure, recovery time, and post-operative
course.  Also, be sure to see plenty of before-and-after pictures in women
who have a similar nose appearance to yours, and preferably at different time
frames (3 weeks out, 3 months out, etc) to more accurately predict your own
surgical outcome.
And lastly, I think the most
important component of the consultation is to establish a good connection with
your plastic surgeon.  It’s the connection that allows you to clearly define your desired nose outcome
goals, the first step of this whole process. If you don’t feel you have a
good connection with your plastic surgeon after your consultation, he/she may
not be the best surgeon for you.
Good luck.

Thank you for your question.  You are certainly on the right track in your reasearch to find a rhinoplasty surgeon who can help achieve your goals for your nose.  You are correct that a well executed rhinoplasty addresses all areas of the nose - the nasal tip, the dorsum (bridge), the symmetry of the nostrils, any deviation in the dorsum, and overall balance of the nose with the face.  As surgeons, we always try to post a representative portfolio on our website and sites such as RealSelf.  However not all patients wish for their photographs to be posted online.  Therefore, I would suggest you have and in person consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty.  Here you will be able to review all before and after photographs.Also, I would meet with a surgeon who has the capability to use a photograph morphing software to help show what your nose can look like after surgery.I hope that this helps!–David Gilpin

Thank you for your question. Always work with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Feel free to consult with a few surgeons to reach a range of price and find a level of comfort with each surgeon. Evaluate your surgeons' education, training, number of rhinoplasties performed per year, patient testimonials and patient before/after photos
Best wishes,
