Start with suitability
Rhinoplasty planning begins with medical history, nasal anatomy, functional concerns, expectations, and timing. A personal consultation is necessary before decisions are made.
Discuss function and proportion
The nose should be evaluated within the full face. Breathing concerns, previous trauma, and facial balance may influence the plan.
Understand recovery
Recovery varies by patient and technique. Your physician should explain follow-up, restrictions, warning signs, and realistic healing timelines.
