Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a "nose job," is more than just a cosmetic procedure — it's a chance to enhance your facial harmony. Whether you're looking to improve a bulbous nose, wide nasal bridge, or pointed tip, rhinoplasty surgery can bring a sense of balance to your features. 

Want to know how to fix a crooked nose and other issues? Our experienced team can offer transformative results. If you're ready to explore rhinoplasty, call Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery for a consultation in Chicago, IL. Dr. Simon Moradian can discuss your concerns, review rhinoplasty before and after photos, and guide you through the process. 

What causes our features to lack harmony? 

While features such as your nose, eyes, and mouth may each be aesthetically pleasing on their own, they must also complement one another. However, genetics and other factors can lead to certain features standing out or appearing disproportionate in relation to the rest of the face. 

Here are some common concerns that can affect facial harmony:  

  • Nose size and shape: A larger or asymmetrical nose can draw attention away from the other features. 
  • Nasal bridge width: A wide nasal bridge can make the eyes appear closer together or accentuate a smaller chin. 
  • Tip projection: An overly pointed or droopy tip can disrupt the flow of the face. 

How to fix a crooked nose and more with rhinoplasty 

Fortunately, rhinoplasty surgery can address the above concerns and more. By reshaping and refining the nose, a skilled plastic surgeon can help bring balance to your features. This may involve reducing or augmenting the size of the nose, adjusting the width of the nasal bridge, improving tip projection, and correcting asymmetry. 

Rhinoplasty can do more than enhance your overall appearance. With a nose that better complements your other features, you may feel more confident and experience improved self-esteem. During an appointment in Chicago, IL, Dr. Moradian can review rhinoplasty before and after photos to help you visualize the potential results. 

What happens during rhinoplasty? 

Rhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure using general anesthesia. During surgery, Dr. Moradian will make small incisions outside or inside the nose to access the underlying structures. From there, we can reshape the bone and cartilage to help achieve the desired outcomes. The length of a rhinoplasty procedure will vary depending on the extent of correction needed. 

Seeing your rhinoplasty results 

After rhinoplasty surgery, you can expect some swelling and bruising in the nose and face area. While this may last for a few weeks, the majority of swelling should subside within the first month. As the healing process continues, you will begin to see the full results emerge. Rest assured that even though it takes time, the outcomes are considered worth the wait.

I've lived in Chicago for 20 years, and have visited a handful of different med spas and have been under the care of a couple of other plastice surgeons in the Chciago Metro area. However, no experience was as wonderful as mine with Dr. Simon at Northwestern. I've lost and gained quite a bit of weight over the last 15 years or so and decided to have chin lipo, and couldn't be happier. I feel and look amazing, and will not go back to another Doctor now. His PA MoniKa is equally as lovely, and caring as Dr. Moradian himself. I would recommend Dr. Moradian, his staff, and his practice to everyone I know!

Five stars is not enough. I came to Dr. Moradian for an upper bleph - my results were phenomenal. I didn't want to look surprised or crazy; I wanted to look like I got a good night's sleep. And that is exactly what he delivered. He and NSPS also went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable. Dr. Moradian is truly a talented surgeon and I was lucky to find him.

I visited Dr Fine and his team after a failed breast reconstruction after being treated for cancer with mastectomy, chemo and radiation. From the first visit, there were noticeable differences between my prior surgeon and him. He and his team are empathetic and make their patients feel at ease and cared for. At each visit, he and his team have spent a lot of time with me. The visits never feel rushed. At my first visit, he looked at my infected reconstructed breast with an exposed implant and calmly explained what was necessary to fix it. He then explained the procedure he thought would be helpful and showed me before and after pictures of patients who had undergone the suggested surgery. The end result was gorgeous, by the way, in all of these pictures---even in post radiation patients. In this visit alone, he spent more time with me than my prior surgeon had spent with me over multiple visits. He answered all my very detailed questions. In my first visit with my prior surgeon, before my mastectomy, my husband and I were left alone in an exam room for about an hour with a saline-filled implant and silicone-filled implant on the counter to look at. The surgeon I went to before spent about 20 minutes with me in that visit and did not go into detail. The choices presented to me were implant reconstruction with saline- or silicone-filled implants or an abdominal flap procedure that takes 2-4 months to recover from. I am very career-oriented and don't have 2 months to take off of work. Dr Fine, on the other hand, gave me the option of a latissimus dorsi flap with a significantly shorter recovery time, lower complication rate, and better aesthetic result. He gives you his honest opinion based on 30 years of experience. He tells you the hard truths: such as that 50% of implant reconstructions fail after radiation therapy. I wish I would have known that before I started on this journey because I would have made very different choices. The icing on the cake was when he took out the infected implant in his office, which makes a woman feel really terrible and ugly and scared, and his very kind PA told me I have beautiful eyes. Wow. What a caring team.

Dr. Moradian performed an incredible job! He’s one of the sweetest and compassionate doctors/surgeons I’ve ever encountered. He made me feel incredibly comfortable and relieved, putting all my anxieties to rest. I underwent a transaxillary breast augmentation, and I’m thrilled with the results. All of my friends and family are blown away by my outcome. I have a new sense of confidence that has changed my life. While I was in my recovery room, Dr. Moradian not only took care of me but also spoke to my family and answered all their questions. He exudes a sense of safety and ensures that you receive the best possible outcomes. He took the time to personally check up on me and kindly encouraged me to reach out to him. Dr. Moradian genuinely cares about your concerns and takes the time to explain everything in detail. I am so fortunate to have found him!
