Why is it important to choose a surgeon who does nose surgeries frequently?

Dr. Kridel does nose surgery on about 200 patients a year, but many doctors rarely perform such surgeries. That's why it's important to ask the surgeon you're considering how many he does. If he does one or two per month, you should definitely compare his results with those of a doctor who does nose surgery frequently.

Look at befores and afters of nasal surgeries he has done. To make an educated decision, you need to see results from previous surgeries. Remember that any plastic surgeon can do nose surgery, but not all of them can do it well.

Dr. Kridel specializes in this procedure and has spearheaded many innovative nasal techniques. For that reason, he is invited to lecture on the subject at courses and meetings attended by his peers. Furthermore, his outstanding results and techniques draw doctors from all over the world to study with him (22 have done fellowships in Houston under Dr. Kridel).

It's extremely important to choose your plastic surgeon carefully. As a facial plastic surgeon who is also board-certified in otolaryngology, Dr. Kridel does facial work exclusively, giving him extensive experience in facial procedures such as nose surgery. He understands not only aesthetics (the way the nose looks) but function, too.
