Rhinoplasty: What the First Consultation Should Cover

Rhinoplasty blends appearance with function. A thorough consultation reviews your goals, medical history, and any breathing issues—sometimes addressed together with cosmetic changes.

Photographs and discussion of proportions help align expectations. Your surgeon explains incision patterns, grafting when needed, and what swelling and healing timelines typically look like.

Ask about time away from work, exercise, and glasses use. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing and address any concerns early.
