Understanding Rhinoplasty
Before & After Photos

MAKING THE DECISION FOR RHINOPLASTY

Dr. Smith will examine the internal and external structures of your nose to evaluate your needs and what you can expect from rhinoplasty. Dr. Smith will also discuss factors that may influence the outcome of the surgery, such as skin type, ethnic background, age, degree of deformity and degree of function of nasal structures. You can expect a thorough explanation of the expectations, risks, benefits and costs involved in surgery.

Following a mutual decision by you and Dr. Smith to proceed with rhinoplasty, he will take photographs of you and discuss the options available. Dr. Smith will also explain how the nasal structures, including bone and cartilage, can be sculpted to reshape the nose and indicate how reshaping the chin, for example, could enhance the desired results. After conducting a thorough medical history, Dr. Smith will offer information regarding anesthesia and the costs for the procedure.
