Its always recommended that a prospective surgeon is asked how many Rhinoplasty procedures he carries out in a year--but what is a "good" answer? 100 surgeries? 200?--more? I know this is only part of the selection process but I could use some advice. Thanks

Answer: Is more really better?
I'm not all that convinced that my colleagues know exactly how many procedures they have performed in one year, let alone the different types. I believe that results speak louder than words. My advice to you is that you make as many appointments as possible to see as many before and after pictures. Most post their best work on their web sites. You should also consider years in practice and comfort level with the surgeon. If it were me, I would ask surgical nurses-they would be the only ones with a true and accurate version of the truth. Good luck on your research!
Best wishes, Dr. H

Answer: Rhinoplasty Experience: how much is enough?
I agree with many of the other posted answers.
How many years has this doctor been perfecting his skills in rhinoplasty
Does he have experience with reconstruction and complex secondary rhinoplasties
what type of ethnic rhinoplasties are they experienced in
do they have experience with bone and cartilage grafts
do they enjoy doing this procedure.
