9- What type of rhinoplasty technique will you use for me?
10- What type of anesthesia do you use and why?
11- What sort of facility do you operate in and, if not in a hospital OR, what is your protocol in the case of unexpected surgical complications?
12- What percentage of your practice is open versus closed rhinoplasty? Can you use both techniques?
