“Side effects of non-surgical Nose Jobs”

Monday, August 30th, 2010

You should be very careful before letting anyone place fillers in your nose. The material is not FDA-approved for use in the nose.

Placing fillers in the nose can be very tempting. However, it has caused a number of very unfortunate side-effect such as skin loss, permanent deformities and aggressive infections.

Unless you are ready to deal with a permanent and irreversible problem, you should avoid having fillers placed in your nose.

The advantages of undergoing rasping of the hump include the permanent nature of it while reducing the size of the nose (not increasing the size of the nose with fillers).

Please see the article below that was published this year in the most prominent Plastic Surgery Journal which reviews some of these unfortunate outcomes.

Hope this was helpful.

How to decide on your Rhinoplasty Surgeon

Monday, August 30th, 2010

One of your main goals when considering rhinoplasty should be to determine your surgeon’s level of experience, skill and comfort with the rhinoplasty procedure.

1. you want to feel that your surgeon is passionate about rhinoplasty.
2. you want to get a good gut feeling about his sense of aesthetics and beauty.
3. make sure that he has had extensive training, exposure, and commitment to excellence in performing this procedure.
4. Ideally they should belong to ASAPS, Rhinoplasty Society and ASPS.
5. Your surgeon should spend adequate time evaluating your nose, be attentive and a good listener and give you feedback on your expectations form the rhinoplasty procedure.
Last but not least after reviewing his before and after pictures with your surgeon, ask for some previous patients’ contact information so you can talk with them.

In summary, you want to feel that your surgeon cares about you and cares about creating the best and most natural result you can possibly have.
