What Is Rhinoplasty?
One of the most well-known cosmetic surgeries on the market, rhinoplasty is an aesthetic treatment used to improve the size and appearance of the nose. In addition to its aesthetic benefits, this procedure can help improve breathing function in some patients. An experienced cosmetic facial surgeon, Dr. Lawrence Iteld takes a subtle approach to rhinoplasty to produce outcomes that are striking yet subtle. While rhinoplasty consists of delicate changes, results tend to be quite dramatic. This surgery at Iteld Plastic Surgery can be used to make a nose look smaller or improve a nose that is too large or wide. The objective is to create a more aesthetically pleasing nose that meets your cosmetic desires and functions properly. If you're interested in rhinoplasty, we invite you to contact Iteld Plastic Surgery in Chicago, IL to schedule a consultation and learn more about what you can expect from your treatment.
How Does Rhinoplasty Work?
Rhinoplasty has varying surgical techniques, depending on your aesthetic goals and concerns. Dr. Iteld performs nose surgery with either an open or closed (endonasal) approach. The objective during surgery is to remove excess bone, cartilage, and tissue, or to improve and add cartilage if needed for reshaping. The nose is repositioned, and the skin is reformed and draped over the newly improved framework. Sutures are positioned either on the inside portion of the nose or along the natural external crease. Following your surgery, you will likely have some bruising and swelling, which should subside over time as you heal. Thanks to Iteld Plastic Surgery's non-narcotics approach, most patients experience very little pain after rhinoplasty. Any discomfort you may experience can usually be managed with low-grade pain relievers.

Rhinoplasty FAQ
How much does rhinoplasty cost?
Rhinoplasty costs vary depending on the technique used and the complexity of your procedure. Dr. Iteld will discuss your goals in detail during your consultation to develop a customized treatment plan, and he'll provide a cost breakdown that includes facility fees, anesthesia, and other factors. Choosing an experienced surgeon like Dr. Iteld is key to achieving the best results, rather than focusing solely on price. Our office accepts multiple payment methods and can assist you in finding low-interest financing options to make your plastic surgery more accessible.
Will my insurance cover functional nose surgery?
Insurance typically does not cover cosmetic rhinoplasty, but functional rhinoplasty may be eligible for coverage if it's medically necessary to improve breathing. If you're considering insurance reimbursement, please mention this to Dr. Iteld during your consultation. Our office can assist with submitting the necessary paperwork and information to help you process your claim.
Are there nonsurgical options to change the look of my nose?
For minor adjustments, wrinkle fillers can smooth small bumps or refine the nose's shape temporarily. This nonsurgical approach can help you decide if rhinoplasty is right for you, though surgery is better suited for larger adjustments, longer-lasting results, and internal structural improvements. Dr. Iteld will discuss nonsurgical reshaping options at your consultation if you're interested.
Can I combine nose surgery with other facial surgeries?
Some patients choose to combine rhinoplasty with other procedures, such as chin or cheek augmentation, to achieve a more balanced profile. Dr. Iteld can help you decide on a treatment plan that aligns with your goals. Often, rhinoplasty alone brings harmony to the face, so it may be beneficial to assess your results before pursuing additional surgeries.
