The nose is the defining feature and central focus of your face. A good nose job has a significant impact on your appearance and self-confidence.
This is why nose reshaping is one of the top 5 most common cosmetic surgical procedures. The popularity of this procedure, however, doesn’t mean it’s easy.
Every nose and every face is different, requiring a skilled and attentive plastic surgeon with an eye for facial symmetry and aesthetics.
Today, we’re guiding you through the elements that all good nose jobs have in common.
Expectations
The capabilities of a good rhinoplasty surgeon can be incredible. Modern techniques, technology and training allow people to do amazing work. But, a good nose job still has to start with realistic expectations.
The shape of your face, the underlying structure of your nose, and facial symmetry all affect what is possible with a nose job. The best nose job surgeons put a strong emphasis on managing your expectations. This ensures you know what is truly possible, and end up with a result that matches your expectations.
In addition to looking at past work by a rhinoplasty surgeon, some of them also provide visualization technology.
Computer visualization is growing in popularity, allowing people to see what they would look like with different nose jobs. Dr. Rival even has a rhinoplasty visualization app so you can create these visualizations on your own.
Facial Plastic Surgeon
No surprises here, the best nose jobs come from the best rhinoplasty surgeons. A facial plastic surgeon with a keen eye for aesthetics, symmetry, and skillful surgical skills will be the best option to assure top-notch results.
Here are a few simple tips to help find the best rhinoplasty surgeon near you:
Reputation
Take a look at the doctor’s reviews available as well as their professional reputation as well. Most people are very vocal about their level of satisfaction when it comes to the results of their rhinoplasty.
Experience
With rhinoplasty, you’re putting the appearance of your face in someone else’s hands. You should feel confident before taking that step. Look for someone who is not only experienced but has experience working with similar nose jobs.
When you go in for a consultation, most facial plastic surgeons will let you look at the before and after photos of other surgeries, they have performed in the past. Keep a careful eye out for nose jobs on people of the same ethnic background or similar face shapes.
Education
Although all plastic surgeons undergo rigorous education programs, the degrees of training and knowledge can vary. One aspect to consider is specialization. A doctor who specializes in facial aesthetic surgery can offer greater expertise in rhinoplasty than one who dabbles in a bit of everything.
Dr. Rival has a wealth of experience and extensive credentials. In addition to his 20 years of experience in facial aesthetic surgery, he is a double board-certified plastic surgeon, is on UofT’s teaching faculty, is president of the Canadian Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and is on the international lecture circuit.
Recovery
While most of the responsibility falls on the plastic surgeon, you have an important part in how your nose job turns out too. After the surgery, the rhinoplasty surgeon should provide an aftercare plan.
The rhinoplasty aftercare plan is not complicated, but it is very important to follow. You need to allow your nose job to heal properly to end up with the results you expected. Careful rhinoplasty recovery will help you heal with the nose of your dreams.
