A Rhinoplasty Specialist Surgeon should have the skills to diagnose and deal with these specific nuances during the nose job surgery so that the final result of the nose reshaping can be an overall pleasant and beautiful nose. 

There is no “bread and butter Rhinoplasty.”  No two people should undergo the same nose job.  Not even two sisters may undergo the same Rhinoplasty techniques.  Sometimes, only a specific area of the nose needs correction while other times the entire nose must be corrected.  Below are common specific aesthetic nasal issues encountered by a rhinoplasty specialist plastic surgeon.

1. Dr. Naderi’s ethnic Rhinoplasty patient with Asian & Latina heritage underwent reductive closed Rhinoplasty to enhance the beauty of her eyes.

It is a well-known and accepted fact amongst Plastic Surgeons that Rhinoplasty is the most complex and elegant of all Cosmetic Surgery operations.  In fact some Top Board Certified Plastic Surgeons will not perform nose jobs and will refer the Rhinoplasty patient to a specialist.  What may seem as a “simple hump removal” or a “simple tip refinement” is often a series of very precise surgical maneuvers that can easily be misjudged and over-corrected or under-corrected by the novice Plastic Surgeon.  Rhinoplasty is an operation of millimeters or fractions thereof.  It is a three dimensional cosmetic surgery that can also affect the function of the nose – breathing.  It is purely and simply an operation that takes the utmost skill, artistry and comprehension of the nasal anatomy.  Furthermore, the results of a nose job are on display in the middle of your face and continue to modify and change for years.  It is in your best interest to understand your own nose and participate in the consultation dialogue with your Plastic Surgeon.  You need to be able to choose the correct specialist to trust your nose to, in order to get the best possible results and minimize chances for Revision Rhinoplasty.   Dr. Naderi created this website after many years of witnessing how so many irresponsible Plastic Surgeons have adversely affected the lives of hundreds of patients by undertaking an operation they barely understood and have not mastered.  He has seen so many patients who had disastrous Rhinoplasty results who now need major Revision Rhinoplasty.  Often times these patients had fairly decent noses to start with and required a finesse Rhinoplasty but ended up with major anatomic distortions, emotional devastation, and financial depletion. While no one can guarantee a “perfect” outcome due to the healing nature of Rhinoplasty, many of the errors committed by the average Plastic Surgeon during Rhinoplasty is avoidable.  The more you know, the better your chances for choosing the correct Rhinoplasty Surgeon.

More importantly, it is well known and published that medical education and surgical training in Rhinoplasty is sorely inadequate in the vast majority of Plastic Surgery residencies across the country. Furthermore, most Plastic Surgeons perform too few Rhinoplasty operations to be able to perform this intricate and complex surgery adequately and consistently. While after performing only a 100 of any surgery nearly guarantees consistent great results, the same is not true even after performing 10,000 Rhinoplasties.  Unique variations in patient healing is what makes Rhinoplasty such a complex operation. But good surgical technique can increase the chances for success significantly.  Many surgeons have been using the same old improper techniques for many years due to this lack of initial training. This website gives medical students, Plastic Surgery residents, Cosmetic Surgery fellows and practicing Plastic Surgeons the opportunity to re-educate and refresh their knowledge base in the proper and safe techniques of successful Rhinoplasty and Revision Rhinoplasty.  While certain post-op results are completely out of the hands of the surgeon and are ultimately due to each patient’s healing forces, other “infamous” post-op results such as the late Michael Jackson’s nose, are not due to patient healing, but rather due to poor surgical judgment and improper technique.

Whether you are curious about a Rhinoplasty, are looking to get a Rhinoplasty or have already faced the disappointment of an unsuccessful Rhinoplasty, you can learn more about your own nose and your nose’s possibilities as well as limitations. Many times patients undergo Rhinoplasty without completely understanding their own unique nasal features as well as surgical options and end up trusting inexperienced plastic surgeons only to end up disappointed when the cast is removed. The goal is for each Rhinoplasty patient to be completely familiar with the anatomy of the nose as well as the different aspects of the nose that make each nose and each Rhinoplasty unique. Surgical maneuvers are thoroughly discussed and illustrated in simple to understand but comprehensive terms. This website will be your guide and your reference source throughout your search, whether you live in Washington DC, Chevy Chase Maryland, Fairfax Virginia, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Miami, New York, Canada, Europe, Asia or anywhere else, as long as you have access to the internet.

So why should you do so much research before going through a Rhinoplasty? Because Rhinoplasty is the most complex and intricate operation in all of cosmetic surgery. Many Plastic Surgeons are very competent at doing liposuction or breast augmentation or tummy tucks or even face lifts. Yet it is well known that Rhinoplasty is done poorly by many Plastic Surgeons due to various factors outlined on this website.

Rhinoplasty is by far the most unique surgical procedure in all of plastic and cosmetic surgery. Rhinoplasty is an operation requiring a focused plastic surgeon with precise skill, meticulous attention to details, artistic sense and scientific knowledge of the nose. Rhinoplasty requires a surgeon with extensive specialized training, unique anatomic understanding and a lifelong dedication to this one and only operation.

“A Rhinoplasty Surgeon is not a ‘jack of all trades’ but rather a ‘master of one!’”

HERE ARE SOME FACTS ABOUT RHINOPLASTY:
The nose sits in the central portion of the face and plays a crucial role in balancing the entire face. A “nose that fits” enhances the beauty of the eyes and intrigue of the lips, but a disproportionate nose distracts attention away from the eyes and lips. Therefore “a successful Rhinoplasty is seen in the eyes.”

Rhinoplasty is unique amongst plastic surgery operations because changing a few millimeters makes a significant impact on the outcome, even years later. The same is not true with facelifts, breast augmentation, tummy tucks or liposuction. It is extremely important to demonstrate to patients, using digital computer imaging, how a bridge that is slightly higher or lower can make the nose and face look significantly different. A few millimeters can be the difference between a refined, beautiful nose or a fake-looking, unattractive nose.

The external nose (skin, cartilages, bones, and soft tissue) and the internal septum are intimately connected. A Rhinoplasty Surgeon must be well versed in the cosmetic and functional surgery of the nose. The internal framework or septum is the support structure for the external nose. Most Rhinoplasty Surgeons are exclusive Facial Plastic Surgeons with a background in ENT surgery as well as further specialization in Plastic Surgery of the face, head and neck. There are some exceptional general Plastic Surgeons as well who have taken it upon themselves to educate and dedicate their careers to this one complex structure and operation.  “It is amazing hearing from countless patients how often they visited a plastic surgeon who offered to do a rhinoplasty for them but never took the time to look inside their nose!”

Rhinoplasty is the only 3-dimensional operation of millimeters! Changing one view or aspect of the nose will affect the other views.  A Rhinoplasty Specialist Surgeon has the thorough understanding and tools to be able to predict and correct such changes. Rhinoplasty is not a “cookie cutter” operation. Each nose has to fit each face. Each Rhinoplasty surgery is individualized for the best outcome.

The nose continues to mold and change after a Rhinoplasty. This process takes years. Although patients can enjoy their new nose as soon as 7 to 10 days after their nose job and will often look completely healed and beautiful at 1-3 months post Rhinoplasty, the nose continues to mold even years later. The nose after a Rhinoplasty has to be able to withstand the changes in scar tissue maturation and healing forces, in order to maintain beautiful results years after the Rhinoplasty.

There is an unacceptably high rate of Revision, after a Rhinoplasty, around the world, due to a combination of factors. These include inadequate pre-operative patient-doctor communication, neglect of computer imaging, poor surgical technique, unrealistic goals and expectations as well as unpredictable healing post Rhinoplasty. The more you know about your nose, the higher the likelihood for finding the best Rhinoplasty Surgeon and ending up happy and satisfied. Sometimes, this may involve being talked out of a Rhinoplasty. Your surgeon must be able to take the time and interest to discuss all of your options including avoiding surgery if it is not in your best interest.  Your surgeon must put your interest and safety above all else.  Dr. Naderi is famous for his compassion and for taking the time to educate and talk up to 20% of his patients out of an unnecessary rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty.  Patients trust Dr. Naderi’s skill and expertise but even more so, they trust his judgment and trust him as a caring physician and genuine doctor.
