Also Serving Buffalo Grove, Schaumburg and Palatine
Nose Surgery / Rhinoplasty / Septoplasty
Problem:
- Disproportionately large nose
- Large nostrils
- Uneven bridge of nose
- Impaired nasal breathing
Solution:
Whether the result of heredity, structural defects or injury, if you are bothered by the size or shape of your nose, surgery of the nose can help improve the appearance or function of the nose. There are two types of nose surgery for patients in Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, Elk Grove Village, Buffalo Grove and Palatine: rhinoplasty and septoplasty.
Rhinoplasty:
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that changes the outer shape of the nose. Rhinoplasty improves the appearance and proportion of the nose by separating the skin from the nose and sculpting existing cartilage and bone to the desired shape. The skin is then re-draped over the new framework. This reshapes the nose thereby enhancing facial balance and harmony.
Septoplasty:
The central support structure of the nose is the septum. Made up of cartilage and bone, this is what divides the nose lengthwise into two separate sides. A deviated or crooked septum can cause sinus infections or a chronic stuffy nose. Septoplasty can correct impaired breathing by repositioning and straightening the cartilage and bony portions of the septum to the midline in order to improve the airway. This can be done alone or in conjunction with rhinoplasty.
Result:
- Alter or reshape nasal bridge
- Reduce shape or width of nose and/or nostrils
- Reshape nasal tip
- Adjust angle between the nose and upper lip
- Clear obstructed airways
