Changing consent form to avoid ENS with rhinoplasty?
Hey all,
I don't know if this is directly relevant to the subreddit, but I don't know where else I could've asked this. I've a wide dorsum (nasal bridge) and I want to get a cosmetic rhinoplasty (largely bone-only, I don't need tip work) but seeing posts about surgeons performing turbinate reductions along with rhinoplasties has me on edge, so I want to get it in writing on the consent form that the surgeon wouldn't touch my turbinates during surgery. While I don't live there, I'd like to get the rhinoplasty in the US, so I wanted to ask you: is that a reasonable request? I know consent forms are mostly standardized, but is there a way a surgeon can put it in writing that the turbinates will not be touched, as I'm deathly afraid of risking ENS in any capacity, or is that a lost cause? I'd appreciate any advice!
