At their ENT department, there are only three doctors performing nose surgeries, and none of them specialize specifically in aesthetic head and neck surgery. Honestly, my advice? Head up to Washington, D.C. Look for the younger surgeons who have actually specialized in aesthetic surgery; they’re hungry to prove themselves and push boundaries, yet they already have a solid track record of flawless work behind them. You don't need those old-timers like Dr. Glušac, Glumičić, Poljak, or Račić. Those guys have pretty much hit their ceiling; they know they aren't going anywhere new, so they tend to breeze through everything—from the initial consultation right down to the actual surgery—with zero empathy and barely any real care for the patient.
First off: if anyone in this discussion actually knows their stuff when it comes to otolaryngology expertise, it's Betty Edwards22.
In my experience, the issue isn't really about raw knowledge, fancy titles, specializations, or even the sheer skill level of many of our doctors (some of those "old-timers" you mentioned are actually impeccable experts), but rather about will, desire, and time—or as you put it, empathy. Over time, everyone's drive and enthusiasm tends to fade, and given the current state of things in the country, I wouldn't be surprised if our doctors are hitting that burnout phase earlier than expected.
It all comes down to the individual. You could be the greatest surgeon in the entire universe, but if they aren't willing to truly dedicate themselves to you, it doesn't matter.
