What to expect from Rhinoplasty?
It is really important that you have a
clear idea of what you want changed when
you go for consultation.
This is the question your surgeon may ask
you during your consultation as well.
Simply look in a mirror and identify what
bothers you. Be specific.
It is helpful to break up the nose into
four parts.
The common problems with these 4 are:
- Dorsum
- Tip
- Alae
- Airway obstruction.
Evaluate each one of these areas individually
as this is usually what the plastic surgeon
does in his exam.
Common complaints are
- Dorsum: Too wide, too narrow, too big,
too small, deviated.
- Tip: Too big, too pointy, too long,
too pushed up, droopy, deviated.
- Alae: Too wide, too bulbous, nostrils
too big.
- Airway: This must be examined individually.
Be sure to tell dr. Tavoussi if you have
had any previous nose surgery or an injury
to your nose. You should also inform Dr.
Tavoussi if you have any allergies or breathing
difficulties, if you are taking any medications,
vitamins, or recreational drugs and if you
smoke.
