Dr. Ahmad on Rhinoplasty in Elevate Magazine

Dr. Ahmad is featured in the latest issue of Elevate Magazine, Canada’s cosmetic enhancement authority that has provided coverage on anti-aging, wellness, and enhancement for over 10 years. The feature, 4 Common Plastic Surgery Myths Debunked, “sifts through the junk for the facts and truths about cosmetic enhancement.”

As the Director of Research and Education at The Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Ahmad is committed to developing research in order to further the art and science of plastic surgery, continuing to improve the care that we provide for our patients. Further to that goal, he is similarly invested in improving patient knowledge and understanding of cosmetic medicine with the belief that an informed patient is an empowered patient.

The abundance of information currently available online for patients allows for an unprecedented number of resources for prospective patients, which is an important and powerful tool. At the same time, some of this information can confuse, mislead and deter patients from perfectly safe and effective procedures. Dr. Ahmad hopes that contributions to features like this one will help to clear up some of the popular misunderstandings surrounding plastic surgery.

In this feature, Dr. Ahmad addresses a common misconception about rhinoplasty—specifically that nose surgery usually takes more than one procedure and that patients are frequently required to return to their surgeon for corrections. The truth is, revision rates for rhinoplasty vary greatly, although one study placed the typical revision rate at less than 10% of all patients. As Dr. Ahmad explains, there are two important considerations for nose surgery patients that can significantly reduce the chances that a revision surgery will be necessary.

“The first is the surgeon’s experience,” he explains in the article. “What type of training do they have? How many surgeries have they performed? And do they perform revision rhinoplasty?” Following this concern, the second important factor is to make sure that the patient and the surgeon have a similar point of view in terms of their aesthetic goals for the patient’s nose. It’s helpful if both patient and surgeon share common ground on what they think makes an attractive nose and that both share the same understanding of the goals for nose surgery. As Dr. Ahmad explains, one way to help achieve this is during the consultation process. By looking at a wide range of the surgeon’s before and after photos and by having a very open and honest conversation about the prospective surgery, a patient can determine if they are on the same page and also get a good sense of their doctor’s aesthetic sensibility.
