Tip plasty surgery has become a highly sought-after procedure for those looking to reshape the tip of their nose. Unlike traditional nasal surgery, this type of rhinoplasty is minimally invasive and does not involve any intervention on the nasal bone. This means that the recovery time is usually shorter, making it an ideal option for patients in the Chicago area who are interested in nasal surgery. At Dutton Plastic Surgery, we are constantly incorporating new technologies to improve our procedures and help our patients recover more quickly. Our use of minimally invasive rhinoplasty and 3D imaging has allowed us to accelerate recovery and make it easier for patients to return to work.
However, while these advancements are important, the key to a successful outcome is working with a surgeon who has extensive experience and takes your individual interests into account. Dr. Jay Dutton, our lead surgeon at the Chicago Rhinoplasty Institute, is dual-certified in both otolaryngology and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, with over 15 years of experience in all aspects of facial cosmetic surgery. He specializes in advanced rhinoplasty and serves patients in the Chicago metropolitan area, including Downers Grove, Tinley Park, and Chicago, Illinois. There are several specialized types of nose surgery that we offer at Dutton Plastic Surgery. These include female and male rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty, adolescent rhinoplasty, and microrhinoplasty.
Depending on the patient's nose, bone or cartilage may be removed to reduce the size and shape of the nose, or cartilage may be grafted from the septum to add volume. Our goal is always to create a natural-looking result that enhances your unique features. During a minimally invasive rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes small incisions that are hidden within the nose. This type of nasal surgery causes less swelling than open rhinoplasty and is ideal for correcting minor imperfections. According to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), half a million people seek consultations for nose surgery every year. The open approach, also known as external rhinoplasty, involves making a small, Z-shaped incision in the lower part of the nose, between the nostrils.
This allows the surgeon to have more precise access to the interior of the nose and make more accurate changes to its shape. In closed rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes incisions inside the nose without affecting the skin. For those looking for a non-surgical option, we also offer liquid rhinoplasty. This involves using dermal fillers to reshape the nose without any incisions or stitches. While this cannot make the nose appear smaller, it can effectively treat small clefts or asymmetries. At Dutton Plastic Surgery, we understand that every patient is unique and has different goals for their appearance.
That's why we take the time to listen to your concerns and create a personalized treatment plan that will help you achieve your desired results. If you are considering tip plasty surgery or any other type of nasal surgery, we invite you to schedule a consultation with us today.
