first time considering rhinoplasty, where should i start?

Question

I’ve been thinking about getting rhinoplasty for a while now, but I’ve never had any cosmetic surgery before so I’m honestly not sure where to start. I’m based in Singapore and have been looking at a few doctors, but there are so many options that I’m getting a bit confused 😅For those who’ve actually gone through the rhinoplasty journey here, how was your experience from the consultation to recovery? What should I look out for when choosing a doctor, and is there anyone you’d personally recommend?

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. 😊
