Rhinoplasty Scheduled Next Month, Having Second Thoughts, Normal?

It is normal to have second thoughts prior to undergoing elective cosmetic surgery.  Have your rhinoplasty performed by somebody who is very experienced and has performed many different kinds of nose jobs.  It is important that your surgeon has done thousands of nose jobs and not just one hundred or so.

It is perfectly normal to have second thoughts about your surgery.  It's a big step to take, but it sounds like you have taken the right precautions.  It is important to go to someone who specializes in rhinoplasty and has performed many cases.  Your plastic surgeon should be able to refer you to a few past patients on which he has performed rhinoplasty to talk to.  If you have any other concerns you should definitely discuss them with your plastic surgeon prior to surgery.  Good Luck!

Anxiety prior to any procedure is a perfectly natural and very common feeling.  In fact, one of my first comments to every patient before their procedure is “Don’t be nervous, you are going to do fine”.

It sounds like you have done your homework and you have selected a qualified surgeon with board certification, experience and has plenty of before and after photographs to illustrate the quality of his work.  All that is left to do, which is also the most important, is to trust your instincts.  If you are comfortable with your surgeon and believe they will support you through the entire recovery process, then you should feel good about your decision.

Hope this helps.
