The goals of your plastic surgeon should include compassionate and professional patient care that puts your health and personal needs as top priority. Do not hesitate to ask the surgeon you are considering any pressing questions that you may have about the procedure and about their experience.

• Does the surgeon answer all of your questions and concerns clearly and comprehensively?
• Does the surgeon carefully consider your desires for the procedure?
• Are the possible outcomes and risk factors explained to you?
• Does the surgeon welcome any questions you have about their experience?

Choosing a rhinoplasty surgeon you are comfortable with beyond a doubt is sure to bring about the best results. Carefully deliberating your options will help you to finalize your decision.
