Understanding what you can expect during a rhinoplasty consultation will prepare you for the further procedure.
Initial Discussion of Your Goals
The consultation typically begins with a detailed discussion of your reasons for seeking rhinoplasty. You’ll be asked to explain what specifically bothers you about your nose and what changes you hope to see.
Whether you’re considering rhinoplasty for aesthetics or functional reasons, you must have honest expectations. This helps our surgeon understand your goals and tailor his recommendations to your needs.
Medical History and Physical Examination
After discussing your goals, Dr. Serebrakian will review your medical history to ensure you’re a good candidate for surgery. You must disclose any details on any prior surgeries, illnesses, allergies, and current prescription drugs to help your surgeon detect any possible dangers or consequences.
He will then examine your nose physically to determine its composition, skin type, and general face proportions. This assessment aids the surgeon in deciding what adjustments are practical and how to accomplish the greatest outcomes while preserving facial harmony.
Imaging and Simulation
Many rhinoplasty consultations include the use of imaging technology to give you a preview of the potential results. We may take photos of your face and use computer software to simulate what your nose might look like after surgery.
This tool can be incredibly helpful in setting realistic expectations and ensuring that you and Dr. Serebrakian are both on the same page.
Discussion of Procedure and Recovery
Once the examination and imaging are complete, he will explain the rhinoplasty procedure in detail. You will also discuss the recovery process, including how long it will take to heal when you can return to normal activities, and what post-operative care will be required.
