Do your homework before going through with a rhinoplasty. For instance, make sure your surgeon specializes in rhinoplasty, and look through the before and after photos to make sure they have the same aesthetic you’re going for, says Rady Rahban, MD, FACS, board-certified plastic surgeon in private practice.

Once you’ve chosen the best surgeon for you, it’s important to discuss all medications and supplements that you take because there are certain ones you’ll need to avoid before surgery.
