Rhinoplasty
Change Your Profile with Nose Surgery at Chicago’s Iteld Plastic Surgery
Every nose is unique. While there are people who like having a visually distinct nose, many long for a chance to get rid of a hump, to make wide nostrils narrow, or to simply change the overall size so it’s not so big. Like noses, every rhinoplasty at Chicago’s Iteld Plastic Surgery is unique, too. Plastic surgeon Lawrence Iteld, MD, carefully works with each patient to provide customized results that go beyond a “nose job.” Rhinoplasty is as much an art as it is a medical procedure, demanding a surgeon with an eye for aesthetics and proportion in addition to a steady hand and practical experience.

Rhinoplasty FAQs
For a little while after nose surgery, you may look like you took a punch to the face. Expect swelling, bruising, and black eyes. Once these side effects resolve, which is typically a matter of a couple of weeks, your nose—new contours, angles, and all—should look like you were born with it.
Do you want your nose to be a different size or shape? To better fit the proportions of the rest of your features? To simply be part of your face instead of standing in the spotlight? Are you in good health? Then yes, you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty. The best way to determine suitability is to schedule a consultation to have your questions answered and see what nose surgery could do for your specific profile.
By using sophisticated techniques he developed, Dr. Iteld performs each rhinoplasty with a focus on preventing post-procedure pain in the first place. Discomfort during recovery can typically be managed with nothing stronger than Tylenol.
With the focus off the nose, you may want to address cosmetic issues elsewhere on the face. BOTOX® , Daxxify, and dermal fillers are great options for temporarily reducing the appearance of wrinkles that appear above, to the sides, and below the nose.
For more dramatic changes to other facial contours, consider a facelift for the lower parts of the face or a brow lift or eyelid surgery for the uppermost portions.
Chin augmentation can help improve facial balance and works as a fine counterpoint to a new nose shape, especially for patients with small chins. Remember, the goal is natural-looking proportion, so no one area should “stick out” as having been worked on. Dr. Iteld can explain more during a one-on-one meeting at Iteld Plastic Surgery.
