Best Rhinoplasty Surgeons in America

Please let me preface this by saying that there are many excellent rhinoplasty surgeons in the US. Whether or not you like their results is a very personal decision.  I am a bit biased, since I did my specialized rhinoplasty training in Southern California. But I also have a big interest in rhinoplasty and go to many meetings, so here are some of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in my opinion:

1) Rollin Daniel (Newport, CA)

2) Jay Calvert (Beverly Hills, CA)

3) Ron Gruber (Stanford, CA)

4) Bahman Guyuron (Ohio)

I think the key is to find a plastic surgeon or otolaryngologist that is board certified in their specific specialty and has a vast experience with rhinopLASTty procedures and/or nasal reconstruction. It is the most difficult and challenging procedure we do in plastic surgery and requires great finesse as it is a surgery of millimeters. Chose your surgeon carefully because a secondary or correctional procedure to the nose is even more difficult than a primary rhinoplasty.  

The first step to finding the best surgeon is to research however there are other factors that are involved in finding the best Rhinoplasty surgeon that works for you. A Rhinoplasty is a very common procedure that is preformed globally so if you feel overwhelmed by doing research online, the best way is to meet the doctor in person.


By meeting with the surgeon your interested in, you will be able to see whether you are comfortable with him/her. The facial plastic surgeon you are meeting with should also give you options such as speaking with a past patient. By doing so, you are able to talk privately with another patient about their experience without any bias. The last thing is to make sure that you look at before and after photos of past patients. Noses come in all shapes and sizes so you really have to make sure that the surgeon you're picking can customize your surgery based on what you want and not what their option of what's aesthetically beautiful to them.
 

Find one with much experience, and will have you meet with real patients that he has done. Make sure you like his noses before you have someone do it!

You will receive a variety of responses on this topic. The simple answer is that there are probably hundreds of Rhinoplasty Surgeons in the United States who have the necessary experience, who perform Rhinoplasty on a regular basis, who maintain well run practices with emphasis on patient care, and who obtain consistently good results.  These are criteria I would encourage any prospective patient to consider.

A small sampling of extensively published, well respected names who adhere to the criteria I listed above include: J. Regan Thomas and Dean Toriumi (Chicago), Robert Simons and Rick Davis (Florida), Russel Kridel and Jack Gunter (Texas), Paul Nassif and Jay Calvert (Beverly Hills).
