Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty) Arlington Heights, IL | Dr. John A Kotis | Plastic Surgeon

Understanding Rhinoplasty: Aesthetic and Functional Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to reshape and refine the nose, addressing both cosmetic concerns and functional breathing challenges. This transformative technique allows patients to enhance facial symmetry and improve nasal structure with precision and expertise.

Key Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Straighten a crooked nose to create facial symmetry
Reduce nasal width for balanced facial proportions
Correct nasal bumps and structural imperfections
Enhance facial features by drawing attention to eyes and smile
Improve breathing capabilities
Resolve structural defects like deviated septum

Surgical Approaches: Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed Rhinoplasty

In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are strategically made within the nostrils, ensuring no visible external scarring. This approach is ideal for minor nasal adjustments and internal structural corrections.

Open Rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplasty involves carefully placed external incisions, typically along the tissue separating the nostrils. This method provides enhanced access to nasal tissues, allowing for comprehensive aesthetic and functional modifications.

Candidacy for Rhinoplasty

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty typically exhibit the following characteristics:

Experiencing breathing difficulties due to nasal structural issues
Desire to modify nose size or proportion relative to facial features
Presence of a bulbous, drooping, or protruding nasal tip
Seeking correction of specific nasal imperfections

Recovery and Results

Recovery from rhinoplasty varies based on the complexity of the procedure. Patients can generally expect:

Approximately two weeks away from work
Initial swelling and bruising for several weeks
Gradual refinement of nasal contours over 12 months

Please do yourself a favor and do not go to this plastic surgeon unless you want a botched job unfortunately I went in for A breast augmentation, And unfortunately, Resulting with butchered Ariola's, way too high profile Ariola's, and too much under boob. Unfortunately, I will have to get tattooed to get the shape of my Ariola's fixed. I'm so embarrassed by the job And wish I never went to this office. I even gave the opportunity for Dr. Kotis or his other Surgeon the opportunity to revise it, But they decided to go the route of dismissing me by ignoring my calls. I even tried to communicate by email with Cindy and they kept telling me that the office will be in contact with me. There was no care to help me fix their mistake. After eight months of leading me on, I decided to not even give them the opportunity or chance to conduct surgery on me because I don't trust this office at all after how I was treated. If you go in for a consult, you'll wait over an hour. Christine and Christina, the nurses were so unprofessional By making empty promises and not willing to work with me to fix their mistake of Dr. Kotis. The office wasted my time. I will not be recommending this office. I'm so hurt and disappointed. I would be happy to share photos, but unfortunately, I'm too embarrassed.

This review is based on my consultation alone. I want to preface by saying Dr. Kotis was NOT the surgeon conducting the consultation so it likely may not reflect the practice when Dr. Kotis is back in practice. Also important to note is that my consult was for gender affirming surgery rather than a cosmetic procedure and many of my critiques and concerns will not apply to those looking for other procedures. I came in for a ftm top surgery consult. Christina seemed very respectful, well-informed, and was very personable. However, the surgeon who conducted my consult was the exact opposite. He started my consult by telling me many people regret the surgery— despite most studies reporting an average regret rate of

I absolutely love my results of my procedure. I am 6 weeks out and feel completely back to myself, but better! My results are exactly as I hoped, and recovery has been shockingly easy. Doctor Kotis is a wonderful listener and gave me exactly what I wanted. Everyone along the way was so wonderful and I couldn’t be happier with my results! I suggest Dr. Kotis to anyone looking for a plastic surgeon! Thank you Dr and your wonderful staff!

I had the worst experience at Dr Kotis’ office. I had a dimpleplasty done on both of my cheeks in August of 2022. Today, my left cheek does not have a dimple and my right cheek has a small hole right in my smile line that is visible when I don’t smile and disappears when I do smile. It ages me and looks absolutely horrible. Then I was talked into getting three Morpheus8 treatments and was sold some products by Anxhelina. These skincare products cost me over $350, I did not need them and two of them burned my sensitive skin. When I came in for my second treatment a month later I was told Anxhelina was fired for selling patients products that they did not need. When I shared my similar experience, nobody said anything to me. They didn’t offer me any money back, they didn’t offer to exchange my products for something else, nothing. I received my next two treatments and a year later, my skin looks worse than it did before I had the Morpheus8 done. It melted fat in my skin and now my face is sagging. They told me it would tighten my skin and it just did just the opposite. I wasted over $4600 here. My husband is so disappointed in me and I’m upset with myself. I trusted Dr Kotis and he failed me! I would never recommend him to anyone.

Highly disappointed, I do not recommend Dr Kotis. Paid for a breast augmentation and a lift and in the end, got the augmentation but only a partial lift, not a good visual now with larger sagging breasts. He offered to fixt it, but of course at an extra cost. What a bad experience.
