Choosing the Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon for Your Needs

While looking for rhinoplasty specialists and plastic surgeons who offer the strongest possibility of meeting your needs with excellent results, it is important to keep a few things in mind during your research. Rhinoplasty is often considered one of the most complex cosmetic surgery procedures to perform, so it is vital to feel confident that you have chosen a rhinoplasty surgeon who is skilled, experienced, and has an approach to care that you feel comfortable with. Here are some criteria to consider when selecting the best rhinoplasty surgeon for your needs:

Background and Experience

Review your prospective rhinoplasty surgeon’s background, credentials, and experience. Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is a strong indication that the doctor is extensively trained and experienced in numerous kinds of procedures. It’s also good to focus specifically on the surgeon’s experience performing rhinoplasty procedures. If you have questions about a doctor’s history with performing nasal surgery, it can be helpful to contact the practice directly for additional information. A good sign that a prospective surgeon is likely to produce satisfactory outcomes is often indicated by a long history of performing rhinoplasty with a proven track record of exemplary results.

Take a Look at Patient Reviews

Reading reviews of the plastic surgeon  supplied by previous patients can often provide a general idea of what you can expect. These can not only be helpful with determining what others say about the doctor’s skills and demeanor, but also with questions you may have about what the overall experience may be like at the practice. 

View Before-and-After Rhinoplasty Photos

Evaluate the Doctor’s Overall Philosophy of Care

Doctors like our own Christopher Godek, MD have clearly defined philosophies of care—an approach to patient care centered on steps taken to make sure individuals are given the best possible experience. The central tenets of Dr. Godek’s patient care philosophy are trust, support, health, and expertise. It is important to know your prospective rhinoplasty surgeon’s overall philosophy so that you can get an idea of whether they will be genuinely attentive to your concerns and make the process as smooth as possible.

Meet With the Surgeon to Assess Your Rapport

The final step in determining whether your prospective rhinoplasty surgeon is the right choice for your needs is to meet in-person and assess your rapport. Does the doctor truly listen to you and answer your questions in detail? Does the surgeon clearly explain the procedure and how it can accomplish your goals? Does the surgeon instill confidence that he or she has the experience and abilities to produce a satisfactory result? Do you feel comfortable and safe in the doctor’s care? These are all things that you can evaluate during an in-person consultation. Ultimately, you and your prospective rhinoplasty surgeon are embarking on a collaborative partnership. To choose the best surgeon for your needs, never be hesitant to ask questions, and always know that your level of comfort with the doctor and confidence in their abilities can make a world of difference as you make your decision.
