African decent female, 40 yrs , thick skin, had rhinoplasty in Turkey less than a year ago. Recently learned of steroid injections and looking for another surgeon to administer injections if I am a good candidate. The bedside manner of my original surgeon is horrible, I can’t go back there. Would other surgeons be willing to accept me as a patient? I think I have supratip beak. If revision is needed can it be done to only the tip without taking more rib cartilage (I like my bridge).

Answer: Rhinoplasty Follow Up As a facial plastic surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty I think it's most appropriate to have the original surgeon manage follow up care. If this is not something you want to pursue as a patient, then the next best option is to seek consultation with other expert rhinoplasty surgeons in your area, meaning surgeons that focus on facial plastic surgery or rhinoplasty in particular. It may require meeting more than one surgeon to determine a level of trust and this may unfortunately require multiple upfront consultation fees before you find the right person for you. But it's worth the effort to find somebody you trust to take over care of you and your surgery.
