The best candidates for rhinoplasty are people who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. It is helpful to have specific and realistic goals in mind for the improvement of the appearance and breathing, although it is not necessary to know every detail about how you would like your nose to change. Most plastic surgeons have significant experience in all types of rhinoplasties and will spend considerable time with you in consultation going over exactly what your goals are and how they might be accomplished. They will specifically review the goals with you and also go over the fine points of your specific situation and your specific procedure with you so that together with you they can achieve the best appearing and most natural result possible.
During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will specifically go over how you would like your nose to look. They will also specifically go over any breathing difficulties you might have and will go over the factors that can influence the procedure and the results. These factors include the structure of your nasal bone and cartilage, the shape of your face, the thickness of skin, your age and your expectations. He or she may perform specific evaluation of the breathing to optimize that as well.
During your visit you should make sure that you tell yout plastic surgeon about any previous nose surgery or injuries that you have had, even if it was many years ago. You should also inform them if you have any allergies or breathing difficulties or any history of nasal or sinus infections. You should let them know about any medications, vitamins or other drugs which you might take and if you smoke. Do not hesitate to ask them any questions. They will be happy to review each one in detail with you.
Most rhinoplasties performed by a board certified plastic surgeon are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning that you will arrive at the surgery center or hospital the morning of your surgery and return home the same day. Most surgeries are performed in outpatient surgery centers in fully accredited outpatient surgery centers, although a hospital is certainly an option if required or requested by the patient.
While insurance will rarely cover cosmetic surgery, many insurance plans may cover some or all of the functional parts of your procedure. Many plastic surgeons' offices are quite accustomed to working very closely with insurance companies and will assist you in maximizing the coverage for your particular case.
