Am I a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
If you’re considering a nose job in Mount Pleasant, SC, you may be wondering if the surgery is right for you. Those who make the best candidates for rhinoplasty can be described as the following:
- They don’t feel comfortable with their natural nose.
- They have a deformity which needs to be corrected.
- They have thought about the procedure for an appropriate amount of time.
- They are well-adjusted, psychologically prepared, and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the rhinoplasty.
The best candidates for rhinoplasty understand that they will be improving the way they look, not becoming perfect.
“Patient pearls” of rhinoplasty (i.e., the fine print) after 20 years of rhinoplasty and nose surgery experience in Charleston, SC:
- No nose is perfect—even before or after a rhinoplasty (nose job).
- Even the most esteemed rhinoplasty (nose job) surgeon earns an “A” on most noses, but all surgeons earn a “B” on some cases. You should digest this fact BEFORE you decide if the cost and recovery of rhinoplasty is justified.
- “B” outcomes (where the nose is much improved, but not perfect) occur more often in larger reductions, pre-existing crooked noses, or noses that have been broken or operated on before. But even a small reduction can present challenges, and has an element of unpredictability.
- Most patients return to work and social activities in one week, but the final outcome is not achieved for one year.
- Many patients are thrilled when the bandage comes off at one week, even more thrilled at two weeks when much of the swelling has diminished, and then become frustrated at six weeks because their nose is still swollen. Patience with this operation is a must.
- Nationwide, the revision rate for primary rhinoplasty is around 10%. Dr. Funcik’s rate of revision rhinoplasty is much lower. Still, we do have to revise some of our noses. This results in additional time and expense for the patient, but generally at drastically reduced rates. Most often, the revision involves a Restylane or cortisone injection, or a small rasp of a bony prominence under anesthesia. A reduced OR fee is charged.
- Rhinoplasties (nose jobs) performed with skill are not cheap, and revision rhinoplasties are even more costly. But recovering from a “budget” rhinoplasty is infinitely more costly, and can compromise your outcome.
- Don’t add a “little hump reduction” to your breast augmentation. Seriously consider the procedure, and dedicate the due time to understand it.
- We are unaware of a surgeon who gets consistently outstanding results who does not dedicate a majority of his practice to rhinoplasty. Unskilled rhinoplasty practitioners are ubiquitous.
- We want to see you in consultation, but we often recommend obtaining a preliminary consultation elsewhere first. It’s likely our fees will be comparable, but higher, unless you are in a market such as Beverly Hills, Miami, or Manhattan.
- Internet research is often productive, but typically only approximately 75% accurate.
- Insurance often covers functional concerns such as septoplasty and turbinate work, but does not cover the cosmetic portion. We work with most insurance companies.
- We perform 95% of our rhinoplasties in the “open” fashion. This means you will have a tiny, inconspicuous scar on the columella—the bridge between the nostrils. Patients can be apprehensive about this alternative. The advantage is this approach gives the surgeon much better visualization and control over the entire nose, from bridge to tip.
