Rhinoplasty in Chicago

One of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures, rhinoplasty, can improve your appearance and facial proportion as well as correct birth defects, injuries, and relieve breathing problems. If the procedure corrects a breathing problem or a marked deformity, a portion of the cost may be reimbursable by your insurance.

During surgery, incisions are made inside the nostrils or at the base of the nose. The skin is separated from the supporting bone and cartilage, which is then sculpted to the desired shape. The hump is removed, the nasal bones are brought together to form a narrower bridge, and cartilage is trimmed or added to reshape the tip of the nose. Finally, the skin is re-draped over the new framework.

When surgery is completed, a splint will be applied for 1 week to help your nose maintain its new shape. After surgery the patient has a smaller nose, a straighter bridge, a well defined nasal tip, and an improved angle between the nose and upper lip.
