Firstly, with any type of surgery it would be wise to get a second opinion, as well as to do research about the doctor or doctor's in question. Perhaps if allowed you can ask for patient referrals, word of mouth is usually your best option, make sure they have enough experience in their field. As Chicago has five medical schools in their metropolitan area, which in turn gives patients a wide scope of Rhinoplasty Surgeons, you can contact various medical facilities to find your doctor of choice.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons website has a wealth of information of this type. If one is looking for more information, Doc Shop and Real Self also have information on choosing a doctor for a rhinoplasty.
This would be up to the doctor to decide after evaluating all the risk involved. You may want to seek multiple opinions before proceeding.
"A rhinoplasty specialist is a cosmetic or plastic surgeon who specializes in the structuring and shaping of the nose. Usually to be considered a specialist one would need a background as a medical doctor, then advance to medical residency as a surgeon."
That would likely be your own cartilage. I would recommend discussing this your plastic surgeon prior to your rhinoplasty during a consultation.
Rhinoplasty performed by a quality surgeon should heal completely. Perhaps another surgeon or doctor would be able to tell some work was done, but not the average person. There should be no long term effects if the surgery went well.
This would vary depending on the doctor and the geographic location where you are. Dr. Calvert clinnic provides financing, including an interest free option if needed.
The most reliable way is to ask people who live in the neighborhood if they have a doctor they would like to recommend.
I had my rhinoplasty 4 weeks ago. My friends and family told me that my voice would change and I've read that it can, but personally, my voice has not changed at all.
They would use tools for investigating the human nose, which are also fairly similar to most other surgical tools. E.g scalpels and endoscopes. Rhino is Latin for "nose", hence Rhinoceros and Rhinoplasty (aka, cosmetic surgery on the nose). A rhinologist is a doctor of human noses, not a doctor of noses of Rhinoceroses.
For regular rhinoplasty in the seattle, washington area, it would cost around $5000 and around $550 for anesthesia. For revision rhinoplasty in the same area, it would be around $6100 and about $680 for anesthesia.
A rhinoplasty specialist is able to book appointments by calling the center directly or by making an appointment face to face.For contact details, it is possible to look on their websites.
The best reason to get rhinoplasty is an injury to the nose that requires surgery to fix the airways. Additionally, a person may not be happy with the size or shape of his or her nose, and choose to have it revised.
