Helping Patients in Taking the Decision About Their Rhinoplasty Procedure

Discussing the unique challenges of Rhinoplasty and why choosing a skilled surgeon is vital for successful results.

While most of Dr. Fouda Neel’s patients come into his office with specific points of concern about their nose, he does a comprehensive evaluation to determine any additional aspects of the nasal structure and appearance that can be improved. This approach helps patients reach their goals with realistic expectations.

Through the combination of comprehensive doctor-patient communication Dr. Fouda Neel is able to provide his Montreal plastic surgery patients with a clearer idea of the potential results after their rhinoplasty procedure. The consultation process is a time for patients to discuss their concerns, and for Dr. Fouda Neel to educate patients about the options available to them.

When designing the treatment plan, Dr. Fouda Neel relies on these discussions and uses the simulations to ensure that the end goal is one they have decided on together.

Rhinoplasty is a challenging procedure that demands great awareness on the part of the plastic surgeon, since the nose is such a delicate and dynamic facial feature. Basically, If you operate on one area of the nose, another area is affected. The changes to the nose that can occur both during and after surgery must be taken into account during the procedure – and the ability to account for these possible changes is achieved through a combination of skill and experience.

Patients of Asian, African-American, or Middle-Eastern heritage have unique anatomic characteristics, and those who are considering rhinoplasty should undergo the procedure only from very experienced surgeons.

While he says it is not possible to make one’s nose look exactly like someone else’s nose (e.g. a favorite celebrity), Many aesthetic improvements on any nose could be achieved as long as the patient retains realistic expectations regarding the outcome.

Rhinoplasty is the most challenging aesthetic procedure, and if you are considering the surgery, I encourage you to spend time researching the experience and past work of your surgeon. My advice is to make sure that you communicate your goals clearly, consider the recommendations, and be certain that you are comfortable with your prospective surgeon.
