Rhinoplasty can improve how you look, which often results in improving how you feel and even think. It can do wonders for your physical and mental state. However, the cosmetic surgical procedure is not suitable for just anyone.

Sometimes, our Toronto rhinoplasty clinic has to turn away individuals because the procedure, and cosmetic surgery in general, is not a viable solution for their problem.

Here are 3 of the most common reasons why a responsible physician would have to turn a potential rhinoplasty patient away:

1.You’re doing it for some one else. All cosmetic surgery procedures are designed for individuals that primarily want to do it for themselves – not to please another person. Undergoing an invasive procedure like rhinoplasty just because your partner, friend, or other wants you to is destined to have a negative outcome. In most cases, you won’t be satisfied with the results but you’ will be the one who has to deal with it as well as endure the procedure. It’s better to address the true reason why your partner, friend or other wants you to have a nose job.

2. You’ve had a previous rhinoplasty, not once, but several times and you still aren’t happy with the results. Secondary rhinoplasty is for individuals who have had a previous nose job, whether it is for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons. However, if you’ve already had several nose jobs in the past, and the outcome is still not up to your standards, then you’ve got to re-examine what exactly you want corrected or re-think why you want to undergo the procedure in the first place. Perhaps your goals weren’t expressed accurately during the consultative process, your expectations are unrealistic or your desires are constantly changing. Regardless, chances are the next nose job you undergo won’t achieve results you’re going to be happy with.

3. You haven’t done your research. Someone who walks in without any knowledge of rhinoplasty is unprepared for the good and bad things that can be related to the procedure. Sure, the consultation is an opportunity to find out more information, however it’s up to the individual to explore other mediums. A ton of resources can be found quite easily, whether on the internet, at the library, or even just by chatting with friends. It’s vital you do your homework, since it will improve the level of satisfaction resulting from surgery.
