Your Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery) Consultation

Rhinoplasty is an intricate cosmetic surgery procedure that can have a significant impact on facial balance as well as the overall appearance of the face.

A detailed consultation process should precede the actual procedure for a safe and predictable surgery. The surgeon will evaluate the patient’s candidacy at the time of consultation, and address their questions and concerns.

The consultation will provide an opportunity to the patient as well as the surgeon to establish a good rapport with each other.

The patient should disclose all relevant information as required by the surgeon to help ensure that correct decisions are made. Board certified and awesome plastic surgeon Dr. Hisham Seify provides rhinoplasty to patients in Newport Beach, Orange County, CA, and surrounding communities in this part of the southwest.

 

Patient’s Inputs

At the outset, the surgeon would like to know the reason why the patient wants to receive nose surgery, and which aspects of the nose may be making them unhappy. The surgeon will also seek information about the patient’s general health condition, and will review their past medical records. Patient should be forthcoming about any underlying health concerns so that the surgeon can modify the nose plastic surgery plan appropriately.

 

Patient’s Aesthetic Goals

At the time of pre-op consultation, the surgeon will encourage the patient to share their intrinsic cosmetic needs and aspirations with relation to their nose and face. The surgeon can then include these inputs in the customized surgical plan in order to create more targeted nose reshaping results in a less invasive manner. Patients with clear and realistic aesthetic goals will usually achieve more satisfactory results.

 

Current Health Condition

To save time during the consultation, the patient should ideally arrange for their previous health records in advance. These records can be sent directly from the physician’s office or the hospital to the surgeon’s office. The patient should also inform the surgeon about any specific conditions such as heart ailment, neurological disease, autoimmune disorder or any known allergy.

 

Ongoing Medications

Prior to the consultation, the patient should prepare a detailed list of all prescription and non-prescription drugs, including herbal supplements and vitamins that they may be currently taking. The surgeon may adjust the schedule of some of the medications in consultation with the physician. If the patient is a smoker, the surgeon will instruct them to quit the habit for at least a certain time period before and after the rhinoplasty procedure.

 

Questions to Ask

During the consultation, the patient will have an opportunity to ask questions and clear all their doubts and concerns about the nose surgery procedure as well as the surgeon’s practice.

A committed and sagacious surgeon will answer all questions accurately and help the patient make a well-considered decision. Profound and steady cosmetic surgeon Dr. Seify receives patients from Newport Beach, Orange County, CA, and other cities and towns across the landscape for rhinoplasty.

 

Images and Testimonials

The surgeon may present rhinoplasty before and after pictures during the consultation in order to help the patient form realistic expectations about the procedure. They may also provide testimonials of past patients so that the patient can learn about the procedure from the perspective of other actual patients.
