Rhinoplasty consultation
Be prepared to discuss the following during your rhinoplasty consultation:
Your surgical goals regarding appearance and breathing
Medical conditions, drug allergies and previous medical treatments
Current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs
Previous surgeries
Your nasal surgeon during the consultation:
Assess your general health status and any previous conditions or risk factors
Examines the options available for reshaping your nose
Examines and measures your face
Takes a photo
Explains your appropriate rhinoplasty options
Recommends a course of treatment
Talks about the possible consequences of rhinoplasty and any possible risks or complications
Counseling is when you can ask your surgeon questions. To help, prepare a checklist of questions to ask your rhinosurgeon and bring it with you to your consultation.
Understanding all aspects of rhinoplasty is crucial. It is natural to feel a little anxious, whether it is the excitement for your new look or a little pre-operative stress. Do not be embarrassed to talk about these feelings with your plastic surgeon.
