first time considering rhinoplasty, where should i start?

Honestly, this is such a personal decision and I'd say the biggest thing is finding a surgeon you really trust, so maybe start by getting consultations with a few different doctors rather than trying to decide from online reviews alone. From what I hear from friends who've done it, you want someone who listens to what you actually want (not just what they think looks good) and shows you before-and-after photos of their own work. Recovery-wise, most people say the first week or two is the toughest with swelling and bruising, so plan your time off work accordingly. I'd also check if they're registered with the Singapore Medical Council and ask about their specific experience with the type of nose shape you have. Maybe start by asking your GP for a referral or checking out reputable aesthetic clinics in Singapore, since that personal recommendation route often gives you more confidence going in.

honestly, i’d start with a proper consultation and not choose someone just based on before-and-after pics. i had a blocked nose, trouble breathing at night and my nose looked quite crooked, so i decided to get it checked. i was told i had a deviated septum, and after discussing my concerns, Dr Leo Kah Woon performed my rhinoplasty. the recovery took some patience, especially with the swelling at first, but overall it was manageable for me. if you’re still looking for a doctor, i’d say he’s worth considering, especially if you’re looking for a rhinoplasty specialist in Singapore. just take your time, ask questions during the consultation and choose someone you feel comfortable with. 😊
