Am I Ready for Rhinoplasty?

Are you unhappy with the appearance of your nose? Do you struggle with breathing problems? Rhinoplasty can correct both aesthetic and functional nasal issues. It can typically be performed as early as the mid to late teens (once the nose reaches its full adult size) and well into adulthood. When your surgery is performed by a world renowned rhinoplasty expert like Dr. Sajjadian, stunning results are possible. Dr. Sajjadian is also highly experienced in performing revision rhinoplasty and ethnic rhinoplasty. It is sure to go smoothly under his watchful eye, especially with the right amount of rhinoplasty preparation.

How Should I Choose My Rhinoplasty Surgeon?

The right rhinoplasty surgeon is essential for beautiful, safe rhinoplasty results. Choose a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience performing rhinoplasties. Dr. Sajjadian is triple board certified, holding board certification from the  American Board of Plastic Surgery, the American Board of Otolaryngology, and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. As a member of the Rhinoplasty Society, he is also a sought-after lecturer, advisor, and instructor of rhinoplasty, primarily to other doctors and medical professionals. In fact, he was also one of only three speakers on rhinoplasty at the recent ASPS Aesthetica event in Washington, D.C.

Make sure you view your selected surgeon’s rhinoplasty patient photo galleries to get an idea of the results they can achieve. In addition to choosing a skilled surgeon, make sure you’ll have your surgery done in an accredited surgical center with a board certified anesthesiologist.

Rhinoplasty Preparation: What You Need to Know About Recovery

Once your rhinoplasty surgery is scheduled, we’ll give you some tips to help you prepare for your surgery and recovery. Since rhinoplasty is highly individualized, recovery times can vary greatly. Most patients do need to take some time off from work as they rest and recover. You’ll need to arrange for help getting home after surgery, and you’ll likely need someone to help you with food and medications after surgery. Many patients find it helpful to fill prescriptions before their surgery so they can easily take them afterwards.
