Hey! I am considering getting a rhinoplasty, but some of the "Not Worth It" reviews have freaked me out a little. What are the chances that my doctor will mess up?
Answer: Chances of a botched rhinoplasty
Dear Yololivia,
Those botched jobs can come from improperly trained plastic surgeons that were not researched thoroughly prior to surgery
You can start by looking at specific reviews for surgeons discussing how their rhinoplasty went and how they like their results
From there, look at before and after photos to see a nose like yours
Realself is a great place to start
Best regards,

Answer: What Are the Chances That I'll Be Left with a Deformity, Botched Nose Job, or a Complication?
The truth is that it is possible to find a surgeon whose skill prevents such "botched" results. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Answer: Potential complications with rhinoplasty
In rhinoplasty, as with any surgery, there is always the potential for a complication. This risk can be reduced by doing your research and finding a board-certified, experienced, rhinoplasty specialist. In the right hands, the chances of your nose looking worse than before surgery are very, very minimal.

Answer: Meeting expectations in rhinoplasty surgery
No matter what there will always be negative comments about a procedure especially one that is as technical as a rhinoplasty. Select a plastic surgeon that you trust and has experience, educate yourself about the procedure and most likely your plastic surgeon will meet your expectations.

Answer: Nasal deformity after rhinoplasty
It is very important to find a surgeon who performed 100's rhinoplasties a year, and has done so for many years. Rhinoplasty is the hardest procedure to perform an entire field of cosmetic surgery and it is important to look to find a surgeon who can give you the best results. Look at the surgeon's before and after photo gallery, ratings, reviews, testimonials and board certifications and experience in rhinoplasty
