Finding the right rhinoplasty surgeon to perform your procedure will be the most important step in your journey.
If you’re not sure what to look for when deciding on a rhinoplasty surgeon, we have you covered with our top tips.
Look at the surgeon’s qualifications
First and foremost, make sure that you choose a plastic surgeon, as opposed to a cosmetic surgeon. Plastic surgeons have earned a title that represents a much higher qualification and have undergone more sophisticated training in the surgical field.
Dr Andrew Broadhurst has achieved a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, and is a fellow of the Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS Plast.) and the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS).
A plastic surgeon who shows passion for the cosmetic surgery field will generally be the best choice. Better yet, a plastic surgeon who specialises in rhinoplasty is ideal.
Dr Andrew Broadhurst specialises in rhinoplasty, breast and body procedures, and is one of Australia’s most highly regarded plastic surgeons. He has provided surgical procedures of outstanding quality over his 18-year-long career. To undergo a rhinoplasty with the highest chance of achieving the best results, he can be the perfect choice for you.
Make sure the surgeon is experienced
Branching on from the essential qualifications, the experience that your rhinoplasty surgeon has will show you how they have put their knowledge into practice and that they are dedicated to their particular field.
For example, Dr Andrew Broadhurst has been performing successful procedures for 18 years, motivated by his passion for creating life-changing results. He has opened a clinic in Brisbane and travels to Sunshine Coast, Bundaberg and Hervey Bay to consult to provide the most supportive and empowering patient experience possible.
Find before and after photos
Your surgeon should have before and after photos on their rhinoplasty page. While you should never use these photos as exact references for your potential results, they can provide an idea of what your surgeon can achieve.
You can take a look at Dr Andrew Broadhurst’s rhinoplasty before and after gallery here. You can also try our Plastic Surgery Simulator for free – simply upload a photo of yourself and make the changes you would like to see after surgery. It is easy to use and is a great way to provide your surgeon with your aesthetic goals. However, it is important to remember that a simulator will not 100% embody the realistic results that you will see after surgery, and should be used as a guide only. It is also important to note that the simulator should not be used as a replacement for a consultation, but rather a tool to help illustrate your ideal results clearer.
Read the surgeon’s philosophy on surgery
To get a better idea of how your surgeon approaches each case, find a personal statement about what they hope to achieve in their daily work life.A rhinoplasty surgeon with a patient-centred, empathetic, and empowering approach will be best. Patient-centred means that your surgeon understands no two patients are the same and will tailor the details of the procedure to each patient’s needs. It also means you will be listened to, having your opinions, preferences and concerns taken seriously.
Attend a consultation
Before making the final decision to undergo a nose job with a specific surgeon, always book a consultation to meet your surgeon personally. Meeting your surgeon is a great opportunity to discuss your aesthetic concerns, what you would like to achieve with the procedure, and to make sure you both share the same expectations.
Feeling comfortable with your surgeon is essential. You should feel well informed about what the procedure steps involve, how to look after yourself during recovery and the potential risks and complications of the procedure. A good surgeon will make you feel supported and even empowered throughout your experience.
