New York City, Manhattan, New York
The decision to undergo rhinoplasty, also known as cosmetic nose surgery, is one that should not be taken lightly. It is a highly complex procedure that requires a great deal of skill on the part of your nose surgeon.
That is why New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Howard Bellin puts so much emphasis on an informative, caring rhinoplasty consultation as an important first step for every patient. After all, every nose surgery and every patient is different. It should never be a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
If you are interested in rhinoplasty to improve the appearance of your nose, you can contact Dr. Bellin today to schedule your rhinoplasty consultation.
Time for Patient-Surgeon Communication
At CosMedica, your rhinoplasty consultation with Dr. Bellin is designed to help you get to know your surgeon and talk in-depth about your concerns.
Like so many plastic surgery consultations, open and effective dialogue is essential. In many ways, your post-surgery satisfaction relies on your ability to communicate your expectations to your nose surgeon and his ability to listen and ask the right questions. Your surgeon must also be able to honestly communicate what he can and cannot do with a cosmetic nose surgery procedure.
Mirror Talk
Dr. Bellin typically will ask you to use a mirror during the consultation to explain exactly what you do not like about your nose. He will then discuss some of his thoughts on what could be improved. It is essential that both you and Dr. Bellin are on the same page about the goals of your surgery.
What to Bring to your Consultation
Dr. Bellin recommends that you arrive at your initial consultation with:
- A detailed collection of rhinoplasty questions, including the actual procedure and recovery.
- An equally detailed collection of any questions you have about Dr. Bellin’s credentials and experience.
- Your medical history, including medications you are taking and information on previous surgeries you may have had.
- The willingness to communicate in a helpful two-way discussion.
