A last remark:

There' s a great deal of information available concerning rhinoplasty, and yet this procedure still remains a great unknown at times, due to the lack of long-term medical experience and the fact that we are unable to control the healing process completely. The only thing that can give you confidence is the information about your surgeon's specialization and vast experience, and your own gut feeling.

And if you still have a lot of questions prior to the procedure and are very anxious as to whether everything will go exactly as you want it to, just imagine an airplane journey and the pilot's cockpit - notwithstanding the multitude of instruments, switches, buttons and confusing laws of physics, the pilot in front will be in charge and will take you safely to your destination.
