The Value of a Rhinoplasty Specialist

Simply put, a rhinoplasty specialist has more focused experience and knowledge of what nose surgery can and can’t do than a more generalized plastic surgeon. Just as a brake specialist offers services on a different level than a basic mechanic, or a roofer can handle more specific issues than a general contractor, a rhinoplasty specialist can claim education, training, and years of rigorous work in a particular field. Why does that matter? Consider:

Aesthetics

Your nose is literally one of the first things someone notices about you—if not the first thing. Anyone who wants to change the look of their nose would be well served by choosing a surgeon who has dedicated a professional career to this unique feature. The specialized study and each of hundreds upon hundreds of surgeries performed builds a library of experience the nose surgeon can draw on to create masterful results. A plastic surgeon savvy to the particular nuances nose procedures demand is more likely to provide beautiful results that won’t require revision.

Function

In addition to being a visual focal point, the nose is obviously also a hardworking part of the respiratory system. Any nasal surgery has the potential to impact a patient’s ability to breathe freely and clearly—whether improving it or making it more difficult. As a plastic surgeon intimately familiar with the structure and makeup of the nose, a rhinoplasty specialist is well prepared to make choices that can preserve and even improve, as necessary, the nose’s function as well as its form.

Follow-Up Care

An experienced rhinoplasty specialist will have seen a range of outcomes in terms of surgery and can prepare patients for what to expect in the days, weeks, months, and even years following a procedure. Surgeons who focus on the nose can give comprehensive answers to specific questions about what comes next.

Peace of Mind

The secure feeling of trusting your nose to a rhinoplasty specialist cannot be understated. The less stress patients feel in relation to a procedure, the better the outcomes can be. This is not something your surgeon is doing just because he can—it is a specialized surgery he has chosen to study, practice, and continue to improve through ongoing education, certification, and a rigorous commitment to staying abreast of the most modern, effective, and safe techniques.
