The nose is the first facial feature other people notice, not only because it’s in the middle of the face but it does not lend itself to camouflage. There is no such thing as the “perfect” nose. Different people have different features and the purpose of a rhinoplasty is to create a natural harmonious look that doesn’t look “operated.” Very often patients of Dr Bloch’s come in complaining of their profile. They look like one person from the front and a totally different person from the side. The object of the surgery is to get the two views to match. Dr Bloch from Body by Bloch is the leading Rhinoplasty Chicago expert with over 30 years. With his artistic eye and precision hand, Dr Bloch enhances faces & changes the lives of his patients.
Can Dr Bloch give me a idea what Rhinoplasty will look like?
Yes, the use of computer-simulated images is a major advance in taking the guess work out of what the surgical result will look like. It allows the patient to see their profile and allows the surgeon to show the patient what he has in mind. In order to achieve a harmonious result, it is often important to modify other facial features such as the chin and neck. The nose should be viewed in the context of the entire face. A turned up, scooped out, little nose may look very attractive on an Irish girl but on someone else it may look totally out of place and unnatural. Most patients seek a “refinement” or natural look. The three most common flaws addressed by rhinoplasty are a hump on the bridge, a bulbous tip and a nose that is too large when compared to other facial features. Regardless of the flaws fixed the goal is to achieve a natural looking outcome.
How is a facelift Chicago surgery done?
The surgery itself is usually done on an outpatient basis under I.V sedation. The techniques vary but consist of filing down excess bone, reducing excess cartilage and adding additional cartilage or bone when needed. Each case is unique and millimeters count. Most patients have a splint in place for one week. There is some bruising and swelling but usually minimal. Most noses look good at the end of one week but for every last bit of swelling to subside, as well as for the skin to shrink to the smaller structure, it can take nine months to one year. Rhinoplasty is probably one of the most challenging procedures plastic surgeons perform both technically and aesthetically. It is also one of the most gratifying. It has the potential to significantly enhance one’s appearance and give them the self confidence to better enjoy their life.
