A Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures available today. If you want a rhinoplasty in Chicago, Dr. Ogilvie is here to help you achieve the facial transformation you’ve always wanted. Commonly referred to as a “nose job,” rhinoplasty can add or remove volume from your nose, as well as change the overall shape and appearance.

Even small changes to the nose can make a big impression. That’s because the nose acts as an anchor and center piece for the aesthetic features of the face. When the nose is too big or too small, it tends to stand out and affect facial harmony, however, when the nose is aesthetically balanced with the other elements of the face, everything works together as a whole.
Any rhinoplasty process with Dr. Ogilvie will start with a consultation. During your consultation, Dr. Ogilvie will discuss your desired results with you. Your physiology will be a significant factor when determining precisely what can be accomplished and what changes can be made to your nose. Dr. Ogilvie will guide you through the consultation process, so you are fully aware of your options.

Individuals desire rhinoplasty procedures for a variety of reasons. Sometimes patients want to eliminate volume; in other cases, patients will want to add volume or structure in specific places. The desired outcomes vary as much as noses themselves and are often suitably unique to patients.
In many cases, rhinoplasty is about doing everything possible to help the nose blend in with the rest of the face. Many rhinoplasty patients feel, before surgery, as though the nose draws an undue amount of attention. For those patients, rhinoplasty is about returning balance and harmony to the face.
Primary and Secondary Rhinoplasty
When patients are unsatisfied with the results of a rhinoplasty procedure, a secondary rhinoplasty is sometimes performed in order to enhance the initial results. Dr. Ogilvie has performed many secondary rhinoplasty procedures for patients who were unhappy with the outcomes achieved by their original surgeons.

Rhinoplasty is nearly always performed on an outpatient basis. Once you have recovered from the primary effects of the anesthesia, you will be allowed to return home for the duration of your recuperation.
Anesthesia — Rhinoplasty is performed with general anesthesia.
Incision — A rhinoplasty can be performed in an “open” or “closed” fashion. During a closed rhinoplasty, an incision is made inside the nose (just inside the piece of tissue between the two nostrils). Work is then performed through this small incision. During an open rhinoplasty, an incision is made between the nostrils and the tissue is then pulled up and over the nose–providing access necessary to make significant changes to the nose. The incision used typically depends upon how extensive the procedure will be.
Patients can expect more significant transformations when undergoing an open rhinoplasty. However, a closed rhinoplasty will typically heal more quickly and allow patients to, for example, return to work more rapidly.

Dr. Ogilvie is very professional and compassionate. I trusted and felt comfortable with him from our first consultation. He took the time to explain the process and what I should expect (from facial fillers). I appreciated the fact that he did not try to recommend any procedures I did not need or want. Dr. Ogilvie thoroughly and patiently answered my questions. I always felt as if I was his only patient. I am so happy with my results. He placed the filler perfectly and my results were exactly what I wanted. What a great experience!
