How long do results last?
Rhinoplasty results are permanent, but the natural aging process can subtly alter the appearance over time. Proper care and healthy habits can help maintain the results.
Will I need revision surgery?
While most rhinoplasties are successful, some patients may opt for a revision due to dissatisfaction with aesthetics or unexpected healing issues. Revision rates are around 5-15%.
How do I choose the right surgeon?
• Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon.
• Review their portfolio of before-and-after photos.
• Read patient reviews and testimonials.
• Ensure they specialize in rhinoplasty and have experience with cases similar to yours.
Can rhinoplasty improve breathing?
Yes, combining cosmetic rhinoplasty with functional procedures (e.g., septoplasty) can address structural issues like a deviated septum or nasal valve collapse, improving airflow.
What should I expect during a consultation?
During the consultation, the surgeon will:
• Discuss your goals and expectations.
• Evaluate your nose and facial features.
• Use imaging or software to show potential results.
• Explain the procedure, risks, and recovery in detail.
