Facial plastic surgeon Pamela Henderson has built her professional reputation on producing consistently exceptional results for her patients, tailoring each procedure she performs to their unique individual needs and goals. One of the most customizable of all facial plastic surgery procedures is rhinoplasty. Dr. Henderson is able to personalize rhinoplasty results to a high degree at her Scottsdale practice, whether patients desire a small refinement to their nasal contours or a dramatic alteration to their facial profiles.

What can you expect from your rhinoplasty results? There is only one way to know for certain, and that is to meet with Dr. Henderson for a confidential, one-on-one consultation at her state-of-the-art facial plastic surgery practice in Scottsdale at your earliest convenience.

The Importance of the Initial Consultation to Your Rhinoplasty Results

One of the most important stages in your achieving the best possible rhinoplasty results is to establish a good rapport with Dr. Henderson during your initial consultation. During your initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to:

For her part, Dr. Henderson will help you to:

• Set realistic expectations for your surgical results.
• Understand any possible risks and side effects associated with rhinoplasty.
• Know exactly what to expect before and during your procedure.
• Become fully aware of the important role you will play in your own recovery after rhinoplasty. Your healing and your ability to achieve the best possible rhinoplasty results will largely depend on how diligently you follow the post-surgical instructions provided to you by Dr. Henderson.

Establishing Realistic Goals for Your Rhinoplasty Results

The best way to ensure satisfaction with your rhinoplasty results is to have as clear an idea of what you want to achieve through the procedure before you commit to undergoing the procedure. Often, when patients are dissatisfied with their rhinoplasty results at other practices, it is because they didn’t really know what they wanted to achieve in specific terms. They might have known that they wanted a larger or smaller nose, for example, or that they wanted a nose that was more symmetrical. However, an experienced facial plastic surgeon will use descriptions such as these as a starting point for establishing realistic goals, not as articulation of the actual goals.

Dr. Henderson will talk you through the process of defining your goals and expectations, and she will even give you a preview of how your nose will appear after certain alterations using digital imaging software. Please feel free to bring in photos of noses that you admire, as well.

In establishing realistic goals for your rhinoplasty, it is also important that you realize it will take time for your full results to reveal themselves. For most patients, the best possible results become apparent after six months to a year.
