Surgery Consultation Before Surgery

The success and safety of your nose surgery depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. You’ll be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle before rhinoplasty surgery.
Be prepared to discuss:

• Why you want the surgery, your expectations and desired outcome
• Medical conditions, drug allergies and previous medical treatments
• Use of current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs
• Previous surgeries

Your surgeon may also:

• Evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors
• Examine and measure your face
• Take photographs for your medical record
• Discuss your options and recommend a course of reshaping your nose
• Discuss likely outcomes of a nose surgery and any risks or potential complications
• Discuss the type of anesthesia that will be used
