Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) in Chicago

Dr. SulyMan-Scott has a motto: “Everyone deserves to feel beautiful.” Unfortunately, some people experience a lack of confidence due to the appearance of their noses, which can affect how they present themselves in various aspects of life. Rhinoplasty offers an opportunity to correct these concerns, whether it’s a bump on the bridge, an asymmetrical shape, or an overly large or small nose that feels out of proportion to the face.

Contemplating surgery can be frightening due to uncertainties regarding the procedure or worries about the result. Choosing a surgeon who provides the best rhinoplasty results is essential; revision surgeries are far too common and can often be avoided. It is wise to select a highly educated surgeon with access to the latest techniques, as you will find in Dr. Sulyman-Scott.

In many cases, a rhinoplasty in Chicago addresses aesthetic concerns, adjusting the nasal features' shape, size, and symmetry. When the main purpose of rhinoplasty is to achieve a more attractive nose, this is called cosmetic rhinoplasty. On the other hand, functional rhinoplasty addresses problems with external or internal structures of the nose that impair easy breathing and cause excessive snoring and other concerns.

Rhinoplasty results take time to fully reveal themselves, but the gradual transformation is well worth the wait. In the first month, a large portion of the swelling will go down, giving you an early glimpse of your reshaped nose. By about three months post-surgery, roughly 90% of the swelling subsides, although minor residual swelling, especially at the nasal tip, can persist for up to a year. This is perfectly normal and part of the body’s natural healing process.

• Chin Augmentation: A chin implant or filler can balance facial proportions, enhancing the results of a rhinoplasty.

• Septoplasty: This procedure corrects a deviated septum, improving breathing and overall nasal function. It is often performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty for both cosmetic and functional benefits.

• Facial Liposuction: Targeting areas like the neck or jowls, facial liposuction can further define the face, giving a more sculpted appearance alongside rhinoplasty.
