Is It Unwise to Choose a Facial Plastic Surgeon with Only 3 Years Experience?

July 19, 2012
Asked By:maui123

I'm wanting to get a rhinoplasty but have no facial plastic surgeons in my town. Closest one is almost 3 hours away and is double board certified by the American board of facial & reconstructive surgery, and by the American board of otolaryngology. However he is fairly new/young guy and only has 3 years experience. Is that enough? The reviews I've read on him have all been awesome but he only has a few rhinoplasty before and afters on his website. I'm assuming that's because he's so new. Advice?
