Rhinoplasty Treatment Specialist in Schaumburg, IL

At Face Works Plastic Surgery, rhinoplasty—commonly known as a “nose job”—is one of our signature procedures. Our board-certified facial plastic surgeons specialize in reshaping and refining the nose to enhance facial harmony and improve both appearance and function. Whether your goal is to address cosmetic concerns such as a nasal hump, a drooping tip, or asymmetry, or to correct breathing difficulties caused by structural issues, our experienced team is here to help.

During your personalized consultation at Face Works Plastic Surgery, our surgeons will carefully assess your nasal anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals. Using advanced surgical techniques, we tailor each rhinoplasty to the unique needs of every patient, modifying the bone, cartilage, and skin as appropriate to achieve natural-looking results.

After rhinoplasty, patients can expect to see significant changes in both the appearance and function of their nose. The most immediate difference will be the reshaping of the nose, which may involve altering the size, shape, or angle of the nose to achieve a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance. Over time, the swelling and bruising that typically occur after the procedure will subside.

Within the first few weeks, you’ll begin to notice a more refined nose shape, with further improvements continuing over several months. The healing process can take up to a year for the final results to fully settle, as the skin and underlying structures adjust to their new form.

Functionally, rhinoplasty can improve breathing if structural issues such as a deviated septum or nasal obstructions are addressed during surgery. Many patients experience improved airflow and overall respiratory function post-surgery.

We work closely with each patient to ensure their desired aesthetic and functional outcomes are achieved. Our team provides personalized care and guidance through every step of the recovery process.

Determining if you’re a good candidate for rhinoplasty depends on several factors, including your health, expectations, and the specific changes you want to make to your nose. Generally, ideal candidates are in good overall health, with no major medical conditions that could affect healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or blood disorders. It’s also important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery, understanding that while rhinoplasty can dramatically improve the appearance and function of your nose, it may not create perfection.

Physically, you should have fully developed nasal structures, typically around the age of 16 for females and 18 for males. This ensures that the nose is no longer growing and can be safely reshaped. Additionally, if you are experiencing functional issues such as difficulty breathing due to a deviated septum or other structural problems, rhinoplasty can address these concerns, improving both appearance and nasal function.

At Face Works Plastic Surgery, we conduct a thorough consultation to assess your goals, perform a physical examination, and discuss any potential risks or concerns. Our team will help guide you through the decision-making process from our treatment options and determine if rhinoplasty is the right choice for you based on your unique needs and desired outcomes.

The recovery process after rhinoplasty varies from person to person, but typically, you can expect it to take several weeks for the majority of the healing to occur. In the first few days, you’ll experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort around the nose and eyes, which is normal. These symptoms usually start to improve within a week, and most patients can return to work or light activities after about 7 to 10 days, provided they avoid strenuous activities.

The initial swelling and bruising will subside significantly in the first two weeks, though some minor swelling may persist for several months. During this time, it’s important to follow post-operative instructions carefully, including keeping your head elevated, avoiding pressure on the nose, and refraining from strenuous exercise.

At Face Works Plastic Surgery, we provide personalized care and thorough aftercare instructions to ensure your recovery goes smoothly. Our team is here to support you every step of the way to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.
