If you want to be sure that the outcome of your rhinoplasty surgery is successful, you need to select the right surgeon for the job. Rhinoplasty is considered as one of the most complex cosmetic surgeries, and for it to be successful you need to look at the following elements of a qualified plastic surgeon as a bare minimum: 

• Genuine expertise in rhinoplasty.
• Good experience in rhinoplasty.
• A portfolio of favorable results after the procedures.
• A great and effective listener and communicator.
• An empathetic caregiver.

Although you will find well-trained surgeons who meet this criterion, you will also find surgeons who fall short of this list, and they like going for shortcuts. You need to be vigilant and careful when assessing the surgeon.

Since rhinoplasty is not an emergency procedure, there is no excuse for not doing your due diligence on the credentials and qualifications of your surgeon. If you decide not to take this step seriously, you will be playing games with your “money maker,” which is your face.

We have seen that you need to find a qualified rhinoplasty surgeon to get quality results after your rhinoplasty. But getting a skilled surgeon in cosmetic nasal surgery can be a tough nut to crack. Additionally, it may be hard to get the right source of information, but what you need to do is to get the best available information sources, and evaluate the information to get the best assessment. It can take time, but once you get the best individual, you will be comfortable enough to undertake the surgery without any doubts.

You will be told by the most experienced surgeon that a perfect outcome is not always a guarantee. To explain it further, nasal surgery is done on tissues that are distorted or swollen, meaning that the tissue will change shape without notice; when this happens, it is hard to reach a perfect outcome, without any slight imperfections regardless of the surgeon you choose.

It is important to set realistic goals because even the most talented surgeon cannot prevent or foresee every problem that may arise in each situation. When all is said and done, getting a surgeon who has a long list of happy clients is worth it, because it can define the type of procedure you go for, will it be a scarred nose job or a cosmetic enhancement.

What to look out for in a rhinoplasty surgeon

Board certification

To check if a surgeon has completed the written & oral competency exam and an ACGME accredited residency program that is specific to a medical specialization, you have to request for the certification offered by the ABMS (American Board of Medical Specialties). Additionally, you should also check that the surgeon is certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Although all these certifications are important, you should not base the surgical proficiency on them. This only informs you that the surgeon has the right kind of knowledge about the industry. These board certifications do not guarantee compassion, dexterity, integrity, artistic-skill, or experience. You can allude to the fact that having a driving license does not guarantee that you are a skillful and careful driver.

Valid medical license

To perform rhinoplasty legally in all 50 states, you need to have a valid medical license. This license is a surety that the state medical board has confirmed that the license holder has a minimum of one year of internship and is trained academically.

Niche of specialty

Surgeons who are specialized in a surgical niche tend to have a rich experience and skill in that category. This translates to better results that are consistent. Even though it is a good start to find a surgeon who is board certified, sadly, it iS not enough to assure satisfactory results after a rhinoplasty. There are different paths for a surgeon to end up in rhinoplasty. Including otolaryngology, plastic surgery, oral surgery and facial plastic surgery. Although each surgery has disadvantages and advantages, there is no pathway that guarantees the best outcomes.

History of malpractice

This is a great screening tool because no one wants to have their face handled by someone who has a history of disastrous outcomes and negligence. You need to contact the state medical board to check on the history of the surgeon. Although claims of malpractice are not merited, and they are frivolous, numerous judgment against a surgeon can cause a lot of suspicions and you should use it to make a decision.

Surgical portfolio

Reviewing a surgeons portfolio is one of the most important things to do, as you check the results of surgery after looking at the before pictures. Serious rhinoplasty surgeons will have a common theme of lighting, background, and position in their photography. Be keen to check the multiple facial views for an accurate assessment of the outcome of the procedure.

Look for images of patients who had similar dose deformities to yours. This will give you an accurate assessment of their capacities when you see the results. Also looking at before and after images of patients who have different forms of facial deformities will give you an insight into the breadth of skill a surgeon has.

Academics

For us rhinoplasty surgeons, our reputation is also pegged on how we participate in the medical field. For instance, participating in the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, or the American College of Surgeons or the American Academy of Otolaryngology is a show of the willingness to serve the public and the upcoming talent in the field of plastic surgery.

If you discover that a plastic surgeon is part of one or several of these organizations, it is an indication of the heart of the surgeon to humanity, and it also expresses the willingness to serve with the skills one has. It is a huge factor to consider.
