1. Reviewing Your Medical History Prior to Nose Surgery

Before discussing the specifics of nasal refinement surgery, Dr. Shahar will prioritize understanding your motivations and objectives. He will inquire about your medical history, an essential step to tailor the procedure to each patient and assess any potential risks associated with nose surgery.

Topics will include any previous nose surgeries, nasal conditions, obstructions, and current medications. Certain health conditions or pre-existing conditions may make nose modeling or specific types of nose surgeries less suitable for you.

2. Conducting a Physical Exam

To further assess your suitability for the nose surgery procedure, Dr. Shahar will have you perform a physical examination and order blood tests. He will meticulously analyze your nose, both inside and outside, as well as your overall facial features and proportions.

Known for achieving perfect facial harmony, Dr. Shahar will use this exam to identify the necessary modifications to accomplish a harmonious, natural-looking nose. He will assess the thickness of your skin and evaluate the bone structure of your nose's upper section and the resistance of the cartilage in the lower portion.

3. Capturing Photos of Your Face and Nose

Dr. Shahar and his assistant will photograph your nose and its relationship to your facial features from various angles. These images assist Dr. Shahar in visualizing the ideal nose for you, taking into account your unique features to attain the best possible symmetry. They also serve as a valuable tool to facilitate discussions about specific plans and goals pre- and post-surgery.

4. Discussion of Goals and Expectations

A crucial step in the process is your in-depth discussion with Dr. Shahar about your motivations and expectations regarding your upcoming surgery. Understanding why you're opting for plastic surgery, and specifically, nose surgery, is key for Dr. Shahar. He will elucidate what he can and can't achieve with a nose job, ensuring a mutual understanding. Open conversation about any uncertainties, goals, and fears is vital.

Dr. Shahar is committed to guiding you at every step, refusing to conduct any cosmetic or plastic surgery procedures he believes are unnecessary for your welfare. To respect your natural features and achieve facial harmony, Dr. Shahar might also suggest other enhancement procedures.

Ensuring Safety Above All

Prioritizing patient safety and care both before and after surgery is essential. I conduct most of the procedures in my own on-site surgical facility, accredited by the AAAHC. Expert anesthesiologists and nurses accompany me during the procedures.

The type of anesthesia used is "sedation", where patients breathe independently and recover swiftly. Certain procedures are performed under local anesthesia. I personally follow up with all my patients post-procedure to ensure their well-being.

Personalized Care and Attentiveness

Dr. Shahar provides personalized and compassionate attention, both during your initial consultation and post-surgery. He takes ample time to address any questions or concerns you might have. During your initial consultation, Dr. Shahar conducts a detailed evaluation in his specially designed "Mirror" room, analyzing your face and nose to ensure perfect facial harmony.

Building Trust Through Transparency

What truly sets Dr. Shahar's work apart is his realistic approach to the potential outcomes of each patient's cosmetic surgery. He encourages patients to adopt the same realistic mindset. Avoiding over-correction, he often suggests minimal procedures to ensure natural-looking results.

Additionally, patients are kept fully informed about the latest state-of-the-art techniques and non-surgical alternatives for facial rejuvenation, such as fat injections and fillers.
