Should I Bring Pictures of Desired Noses to Rhinoplasty Consultation?

Hi,

 

Any information that can be brought to the consultation is helpful including photos of celebrities and othe magazine models.  It helps begin a discussion regarding what your expectations are and whether or not this is reasonable.  For others, it helps them convey in  words what they are not able to convey otherwise. g

 

Absolutely, it is always great to bring in as much information and photos as you can.....you and your surgeon need to be on the same page. Most important though, make sure your surgeon has a sophisticated morphing program so you and he can review what is realistic and what the results are going to resemble after the surgery.

 

It is always helpful for a patient to bring pictures in of noses that they like.  It doesn't necessarily mean that the surgeon is going to be able to replicate that nose - it all depends on your anatomy to start out with, facial structure, etc.  However, it does give the surgeon an idea of what the patient is thinking about and what he/she may need to do to get you close to your ideal.
