First off, there are a couple of reasons why you're probably considering nose surgery - for aesthetic reasons (you want your nose to look better), for functional reasons (you want your nose to work better) or maybe for both. Just as there are reasons why you're investigating your options, there are several criteria Dr. Chaffoo uses when considering a potential candidate in La Jolla or San Diego for nose surgery:

  • Age - have you reached physical maturity (at least, mid-teen years)?
  • Physical health - overall is it good?
  • Emotional health - do you have a positive attitude and realistic expectations, and are you seeking rhinoplasty to improve yourself as an individual rather than to satisfy some notion of a universal ideal?

If you answered yes to all of the above, you're probably a good candidate for nose surgery.
