Now that I have done nearly 1000 rhinoplasties and facelifts I have been able to figure out all the little nuances and tricks that make a great facelift or great rhinoplasty, the best facelift or best rhinoplasty. There is definitely something to be said for the number of procedures a surgeon has under his belt and I am asked questions regarding this all the time. There is no magic number that makes a surgeon an expert but there is a learning curve that a surgeon has to go through where they continue to improve dramatically with each procedure they do. I would say that you want to make sure that your surgeon has done about 500 of the procedures that you are hoping to have to be sure that you receive the Best facelift or Best rhinoplasty that your surgeon is capable of giving you.
