Rhinoplasty Scheduled Next Month, Having Second Thoughts, Normal?

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.

 

 

Rhinoplasty concerns before surgery with anxiety is normal. If you like the noses the surgeon does that is the best anyone can do. You can ask the surgeon to see one of his patients and speak with them.
