Rhinopalsty is a complicated procedure and has a revision rate of about 10%. If you run into a complication during surgery, your best chance of getting excellent care and minimizing any problems is here in US in an accredited facility.You might find a good surgeon overseas but the quality of the facility, operating room, ancillary staff, etc will not be the same.Also, if you need a revision surgery, you might end up paying a lot more to someone in US.You are better off saving a little longer and using a good rhinoplasty surgeon in US and an accredited surgical facility.Regards
Dear Thekp,I believe that there are many excellent and qualified rhinoplasty surgeons in the US so that patients need not go overseas for their nose job. The post operative follow up is limited.In select cases where you have a working relationship with a surgeon it is okay to have surgery away from home, but you must be willing to travel back for any problems, or be willing to see one of your surgeon's colleagues closer to your home.Anytime that you base your rhinoplasty surgeon choice on "saving some money" you are asking for trouble. There is good reason for the saying "you get what you pay for".Good luck and be well.Dr. P
