“Before undergoing rhinoplasty surgery, it is crucial to discuss all your concerns with us. This applies to both closed and open procedures. The purpose of the consultation is to tailor the approach to the patient’s individual needs and goals.

During this consultation, we make important decisions, such as determining the source of cartilage for grafting. In most cases, cartilage is taken from a cadaver or the patient’s own rib, depending on what the surgery needs. Talking about these choices with us will help create a personalized plan that meets your goals and leads to the best results.”
