Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
Five Stars are Not enough for Dr. Aflaki. I did revision rhinoplasty and I cannot thank him enough for such an amazing job he has done. The best decision I made. He is simply the best, number one plastic surgeon.
When researching doctors for my rhinoplasty. I visited with a couple of different plastic surgeons that specialize in rhinoplasties but Dr. Aflaki was the obvious choice from the first consult. He took his time explaining everything and removing all doubts about the procedure which made me feel incredibly relieved and more confident to move forward. I ended up having a rhinoplasty and the procedure itself was so much easier than I could have imagined. Recovery was a breeze and painless. which was surprising. I closely followed instructions from Dr.Aflaki everything went really smoothly. I was already feeling like myself after a few days. I’m just over 2 months post-op and am incredibly happy with the results. Dr. Aflaki is an amazing Dr. The changes to my appearance are exactly what I wanted and what we discussed during the consult. I been checking with him for two moths I can I sure you you are in good hands If choose you Dr. Aflaki!

Rhinoplasty FAQ
How much does rhinoplasty cost?
The cost of nose reshaping surgery varies based on what technique is used and the complexity of the procedure. Before estimating costs, we will listen to your needs and goals to help develop your custom treatment plan. When this is done, we can go over costs for the facility, anesthesia, and more. To get your best results, it's better to focus on selecting an experienced surgeon instead of the lowest cost.

Will my insurance cover functional nose surgery?
While rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons is not covered by insurance, functional rhinoplasty that is medically necessary to improve breathing may be. If you are considering using your insurance, please tell us during your consultation. We can help you submit any needed information and paperwork to your insurance to process your claim properly.
Are there nonsurgical options to change my nose?
A hyaluronic acid-based wrinkle filler (like Juvéderm or Restylane) may be an option to smooth lumps and bumps on your nose. An injectable filler can temporarily correct minor imperfections on your nose, which may help you decide to get a rhinoplasty. Nose surgery is better for larger changes, long-lasting results, and to improve the internal structure of the nose for better function. During your consultation, we can let you know if you may be a candidate for nonsurgical nose reshaping.
What about ethnic rhinoplasty?
Ethnic rhinoplasty is about improving the nose while still maintaining your cultural identity. This may be a concern if you are African-American, Asian, or Middle Eastern. In your consultation, you can talk about what you want to keep and what you want to change. This will allow us to customize your treatment plan so you get your best results.
