Looking for Rhinoplasty nose surgery in Chicago?
There is perhaps no area in cosmetic surgery
with more dramatic results than nose surgery.
Because the nose is the prominent feature
on the face, its reduction or modification
through rhinoplasty can effect tremendous
changes to the face. Additionally, nosel
surgery is one of the most common types
of aesthetic surgery. Technical refinements
in this procedure enable the plastic surgeon
to achieve far better results today than
was the case just a decade ago.
Like many cosmetic procedures, the Rhinoplasty in Chicagocan be performed under local or general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Nasal surgery is performed by removing, shifting or altering underlying bone and cartilage structures through incisions made inside the nose. Consequently, the scars will not be visible following the surgery. Occasionally, small external incisions are made to reduce the size of the nostrils. In addition to improving the appearance of the nose, problems with the breathing mechanism are corrected during the surgical procedure.
At the close of the operation, a splint is placed over the outside of the nose to maintain proper position and reduce nasal swelling. This remains in place for five to six days postoperatively. No exercise, sports or rigorous activity should be undertaken for a period of four weeks after the surgery to prevent movement or shifting of nasal bones while they are healing.
Postoperative swelling is rather lengthy in duration. Most of the
swelling will disappear six to eight weeks
after the surgery. However, the final result
of the rhinoplasty may not be apparent
until perhaps one year after the surgery
is performed. Contact Dr. Tresley for nose
surgery in Chicago.
The perception of rhinoplasty has changed in recent years. Decades
ago, patients going to a particular cosmetic
surgeon might have received a similar appearing
nose, regardless of their other facial
characteristics. Today, plastic surgeons
attempt to mold the nose to a particular
individual's face, thereby creating a naturally
beautiful nose rather than a nose bearing
the imprint of the surgeon's hand. Contact
