Nose Reshaping Surgery Rosemont, IL | Stefan M Szczerba, MD

Understanding Rhinoplasty in Rosemont, IL

Rhinoplasty is a precision surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance and functional capacity of the nose. Dr. Stefan Szczerba at Chicago Aesthetic Surgery Institute combines surgical expertise with artistic principles to enhance facial harmony and balance.

Candidate Requirements for Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty candidates should meet specific medical and personal criteria to ensure optimal surgical outcomes. Ideal candidates typically:

• Are 13 years or older
• Are in good overall health
• Have realistic expectations about surgical results
• Are non-smokers or willing to cease smoking

Indications for Rhinoplasty

Patients may be suitable for nose surgery if they experience the following conditions:

• Crooked or asymmetrical nasal structure
• Visible nasal bridge irregularities
• Wide nasal base
• Drooping or bulbous nasal tip
• Breathing difficulties

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Szczerba offers two primary rhinoplasty techniques: open and closed surgical approaches. Each method is carefully selected based on the patient's unique anatomical requirements and aesthetic goals.

Open Rhinoplasty

During an open rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes a small incision between the nostrils, allowing direct visualization and precise modification of nasal structures. This technique provides maximum surgical control and precision.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty involves internal incisions, minimizing external scarring while enabling targeted nasal reshaping. The surgical approach is less invasive and can provide excellent results for suitable candidates.

Recovery and Outcomes

Patients should anticipate a recovery period of approximately one to two weeks. Swelling and bruising are normal and will gradually subside. Dr. Szczerba provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to support optimal healing and results.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While rhinoplasty is generally safe, potential risks include infection, bleeding, and minor asymmetry. Dr. Szczerba employs advanced techniques to minimize complications and achieve exceptional surgical outcomes.
