How many surgeons should i consult before scheduling a revision rhinoplasty?

One good surgeon: You are correct that your revision rhinoplasty should be the last operation performed on your nose. That said, because of prior changes and subsequent scarring, the results of revision rhinoplasty are less predictable. It's not the number of surgeons you see, it's finding the right one. Your best bet is an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who is a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon.

It's your call. : You are embarking on an elective procedure which is orders of magnitude more complicated than your first rhinoplasty. Take your time doing your homework and speak to as many well qualified and experienced surgeons as necessary to make you feel comfortable. It is a great responsibility for us as surgeons to do cosmetically transformative procedures. It is even greater for you to trust us.

No set #: You should find a surgeon who is comfortable with revision rhinoplasty and who you feel comfortable with as a patient.

Till comfortable: Get opinions until you are comfortable with the revision rhinoplasty surgeon you choose. You will probably know early in your consultation if you and the surgeon are on the same page and develop a good working relationship. Make sure they are experienced in revision surgery as it is more complex than primary rhinoplasty in most cases!

Who to choose?: When considering plastic surgery, find a board certified plastic surgeon who does at least 100 of these procedures per year. Also, be sure to check the before and after photo gallery for the procedure(s) interested in on the surgeon's website.
