Only a consultation can establish this. A consultation will determine a few things. You will be asked about your general medical history, which will include questions about any previous nasal surgery or injury. If you require corrective surgery to the nose as a result of a previous rhinoplasty it is important to wait at least 1 year before any further facial cosmetic surgery is attempted. Enquiries will also be made as to your breathing patterns and whether you suffer with any nasal obstruction. Many times this can also be addressed at the same time as a rhinoplasty. Mr. Solomos will then want to know why you are unhappy with the shape of your nose. The most common request is to reduce the size and alter the shape of a large nose, but occasionally an increase in profile or projection is requested. During any cosmetic surgery, the greatest risk is that the surgeon will not give you what you want. This problem can be greatly alleviated by ensuring that Mr. Solomos knows exactly what it is you want. If you don’t have a thought or a picture in your mind about how you would like the nose to be, then at the very least, try to let him know what it is that you don’t like about your nose. This way he can try to explain to you what can or cannot be done. Remember Mr. Solomos will always give a nose that he feels is attractive and proportional in size and shape to the rest of your face. However your input is of vital importance also. Many people like to bring in photographs, at the time of consultation, of a nose which they would like to have. This can give the cosmetic surgeon a feel for the type of nose you may like to acquire. It is important to realise however, that every individuals nose is different and so one cannot expect to have a very small, delicate nose made from, for example, one that has a large amount of thickened skin. If this is the case, Mr. Solomos will always try to make this clear to you.
