Four Questions To Ask Your Nose Surgeon

 

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that is performed to change the appearance of an individual’s nose. Also often referred to as a nose job, rhinoplasty is commonly performed through two surgical techniques, known as open and closed rhinoplasty. When a patient consults a surgeon in regards to rhinoplasty, such as an appropriately trained ENT Surgeon, the surgeon should first conduct a thorough assessment to ensure that the best possible advice can be provided to the concerned individual.

 

Before undergoing any cosmetic surgery procedure such as rhinoplasty, it is essential that you do your due diligence, so that you make the right choices which best meet your needs. Below, are four vital questions that you should consider asking your chosen ENT surgeon, before deciding to proceed further:

 

1. How long have you been performing rhinoplasty?: A good indicator of the competence of an ENT surgeon is the number of successful nose surgeries they have performed. You should also ask the surgeon about his or her professional qualifications, as well as the number of years he or she has been performing rhinoplasty for.

2. Who will assist in the surgery?: Most surgeries, including rhinoplasty, are undertaken with the assistance of trained professional such as anaesthetists and nurses. Ask your surgeon about their qualifications and experience, to learn more about the overall quality of the team employed by the ENT clinic.

3. What will the surgical procedure involve?: Find out which surgical technique (open or closed) the surgeon will be using and what will occur during and after the nose surgery is completed. Also discuss concerns regarding risks associated with procedure and post operative pain relief openly with your nose surgeon.

4. What will the recovery period involve?: Most patients are concerned about their facial appearance immediately post-surgery. To prevent any surprises, it is hence important to know what to expect post operatively before undergoing the procedure. Remember to ask your surgeon about post-operative swelling and redness, dressings, removal of stitches, as well as potential complications and the approximate downtime period.
