I'm interested in getting a rhinoplasty but most of the doctors I'm comfortable having the surgery with are 3 or more hours away so I've only been having virtual consultations but the doctors say they'd have to see me in person as well. Would it be possible to set a date for surgery after the virtual consultation and the day before surgery be examined in person then the very next day have the surgery? Thank you in advance!
Answer: Rhinoplasty appointment Hello! Thank you for your question.Yes it is possible to set a date for your surgery after a video consultation. You have to share all your medical condition with your surgeon and your photos. Anyway you will have a face-to-face consultation with your surgeon before the operation to get a full check-up.Don't worry, many patients proceed that way.Best regards!

CONTACT NOW Answer: We require an in-person consultation before committing to performing rhinoplasty surgery... In our experience, evaluation of Emailed electronic photos is as good as or better than a virtual consultation. We require an examination before committing to surgery so we can check the nasal airway, and get a good feel for the cartilage and bony framework of someone's nose. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Answer: In- Person Consultation It is preferable to be examined in person, by a certified plastic surgeon, prior to booking a Rhinoplasty Surgery. A thorough physical examination of the nose includes palpating the structure and inspecting the nasal cavities with a speculum- this cannot be achieved virtually. I recommend booking an in-person consultation so that the surgeon can examine your nose before booking a surgical date. This will give the surgeon adequate time to determine and compose a safe surgical plan.

Answer: Yes In my practice, I have virtual consultations with the patient so that I can see them live. However, I also have them send high-quality photos of their face so that I can get the best idea possible of what needs to be done. Using those photographs, I can also do digital simulation of what their nose might look like after surgery. By doing it this way, the patient can just make one trip for the surgery.

Answer: Preoperative evaluation befor nose surgery It has been our experience that in many case seeing a patient and discussing surgery over telemedicine consult is very helpful for most plastic surgery related issues. Preoperative visit a day before surgery would give a chance to both patient and surgeon to discuss problem and solution in more details, have a batter understanding of goals and possibilities, and evaluate necessery medical records like labs, EKG, medications, et cetera. In past few years since Covid, we treat significant number of our out of town patient in this fassion and did not have any problems with it. Yes, I am for it and I think it is safe in most situations.. Good luck.
