Rhinoplasty: many patients will bring in very detailed vision boards to communicate their goals for surgery. If you choose to do this, I always recommend using your own surgeon’s long-term before and after pictures from their own website. An immediate red flag is a surgeon who lets you use pictures of celebrities as your goal pictures. These pictures are always filtered and Photoshopped and not realistic at all. I always recommend that you carefully evaluate your surgeon’s online before and after gallery on their website for both quality and quantity of results. Make sure that there are hundreds of real before and after pictures with standardized lighting and standardized background which demonstrate long-term follow up results. If your surgeon is posting mostly on-table results without real long-term follow up results, that is usually a major red flag. If a surgeon is posting mostly just splint removal day videos without longterm follow-up pictures, or all filtered patient selfie’s without real longterm in-office formal pictures that can also be a red flag. Long-term results are much more meaningful than on table results or 1 week post-op results. Selfie’s can also be fun to look at, but these can often have a filter and do not represent true longterm results because of this and are not as valuable as real longterm in-office before and after photographs on your surgeon’s website.

This is my actual patient with real results who has given informed consent to appear on my website and social media pages. Every surgery has risks and you should be evaluated by a board-certified surgeon with expertise in that field to discuss all possible risks of surgery prior to undergoing any procedure.
