Hello! See photos for reference. I have a scheduled septoplasty for my extremely deviated septum, and since I’ll be on the table already, considering adding rhino, as I’ve always wanted a better looking nose anyway! Just starting my own personal research and have yet to have my rhino consult, looking for recs on what to ask for/what to correct to get an optimal looking nose? Thanks so much in advance!

Answer: Possible rhinoplasty add on to scheduled septoplasty Rhinoplasty is the most difficult procedure to perform in the entire field of cosmetic surgery and is much more difficult than a septoplasty. Look for a double board-certified ENT/ facial plastic surgeon who can perform both the cosmetic rhinoplasty and functional septoplasty simultaneously under one anesthesia. Study your perspective surgeon's before and after rhinoplasty photo Gallery to make sure that it is extensive with natural results that you like

Answer: Why not add a rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty surgery is fairly complex and the ability to deliver consistent quality. Rhinoplasty results is more difficult than most people realize. Because of the complexity, rhinoplasty surgery should be done by providers who have a proven track record with this procedure. I generally recommend patients go through a formal provider, evaluation vetting process before choosing a surgeon to do a rhinoplasty. This generally involves interviewing multiple providers before selecting a provider and then having thorough in person consultations to first and foremost confirm, the provider has to skill an experience to deliver the results you’re hoping for. Secondly, to have a clear understanding of what changes you’re seeking to make sure the surgeon Understands and confirms they can deliver those results. I generally recommend patient start to process by scheduling five in person, consultations with providers in their community, who have a proven track record for rhinoplasty surgery. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients who had similar facial characteristics to your own. An experience surgeon should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. Highly experienced surgeons should have access to hundreds or preferably thousands of before and after pictures. If the rhinoplasty surgery is not done well, it can leave you this and revision or secondary rhinoplasty. Surgery is much much more difficult to manage than primary procedures. Without having gone through the proper vetting process of first selecting, a rhinoplasty surgeon , you are now in a position where you have to confirm that the surgeon you’ve chosen, has the skill and experience to do this procedure well enough to leave you pleased with the outcome. From a technical perspective, it is highly appropriate to do rhinoplasty surgery in conjunction with a septoplasty. In many ways, it is preferable to do the procedures together. The only issue is provider selection, and confirming that your provider has sufficient skill and experience doing Aesthetic rhinoplasty surgery. Last minute decisions, regarding surgeries that will affect your appearance, for the rest of your life are advised. If you’re interested in having a rhinoplasty, then begin the process of discussing this with your current provider, and possibly vetting for other providers to make sure you have the right surgeon. Rhinoplasty surgery is not a single procedure, but rather involves many different operations to treat different parts of the nose. The nose is usually subdivided into different units, and there are different procedures for each subunits of the nose. Your provider may potentially do an excellent job, but you need to confirm they have the skill and experience before simply signing up for something that can have potentially negative consequences.
