Nose Reshaping Surgery (Rhinoplasty) Chicago, IL | Chicago Aesthetic Surgery Institute - Dr. Szczerba

Understanding Rhinoplasty: Nose Reshaping in Chicago

Rhinoplasty is a precise surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance and functional performance of the nose. At Chicago Aesthetic Surgery Institute, Dr. Szczerba utilizes advanced surgical techniques to enhance facial harmony and address respiratory challenges.

Ideal Rhinoplasty Candidates

Rhinoplasty candidates typically meet the following criteria:

• At least 13 years of age
• In good overall health
• Non-smokers or willing to cease smoking
• Motivated by personal aesthetic goals

Surgical Considerations for Nose Reshaping

Dr. Szczerba evaluates candidates with specific nasal characteristics, including:

• Crooked or off-center nose structure
• Prominent nasal bridge humps
• Wide nasal base
• Drooping or bulbous nasal tip
• Breathing difficulties

Comprehensive Surgical Approach

Chicago Aesthetic Surgery Institute offers two primary rhinoplasty techniques: open and closed surgical methods. The chosen approach depends on individual patient anatomy and aesthetic objectives. Both techniques involve precise cartilage reshaping, bone repositioning, and potential internal nasal structure modifications.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate a carefully managed recovery process. Typical post-surgical expectations include temporary splinting, mild swelling, and restricted activities for 7-10 days. Complete healing and final results may take several months to fully manifest.

Potential Benefits and Surgical Risks

Rhinoplasty can dramatically transform nasal aesthetics and improve respiratory function. However, patients should understand potential risks, which include temporary bruising, potential revision surgery, and standard surgical complications.
