What should someone ask a rhinoplasty surgeon before committing?

Number one, how many have they done and do they do?

And that might not be putting a precise number to it. Nobody knows if they’ve done 1624 or an exact amount. But if they’re doing 1 or 2 a week, and they have been doing that for quite a while, and they have fairly good before and after photos, fairly good reviews, they can fix functional issues. I think that’s a good question to ask.

Complication rates? Also, a good question to ask. And how many revisions do they do of their own patients and other people’s patients on average?
