Your nose is your most prominent facial feature. If the nose shape is unusual or out of proportion with your other features, it can be a distraction, with an impact on your confidence and self-esteem.

What is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, also known as nasal surgery or a nose job, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to alter the external appearance of the nose. Changes may include a reduction or increase in the overall size, the removal of a hump, alterations of a bulbous nasal tip, or repair of poorly shaped nostrils. Functional problems such as chronic congestion can also be corrected with rhinoplasty surgery for healthier breathing and better sleep.

    What Can Rhinoplasty Do For My Look?

    Rhinoplasty is a surgery to dramatically improve the shape, size, or projection of the nose. The surgical procedure can correct:

    • A crooked or uneven nose structure
    • A hump or bump on the bridge of the nose
    • A bulbous, hanging, or pinched tip
    • Overly large or wide nostrils
    • A wide or flat bridge
    • Breathing issues, such as chronic congestion
    • A broken nose or nasal injury
    • A drooping or hooked nose

    A custom rhinoplasty can also correct breathing issues such as chronic congestion.

      Benefits of nose reshaping surgery

      • Increased self-confidence is one of the biggest benefits of rhinoplasty surgery in Chicago. Research shows that it is natural for humans to look at other people’s eyes first, followed by their noses. This may come as no surprise considering that the nose is your face’s most prominent feature. It will readily attract attention — the kind you want or the kind you wish didn’t happen.
      • A septoplasty can help improve breathing by straightening the bone and cartilage that separates the nostrils. For those who struggle to breathe through the nose, a septoplasty can be performed along with rhinoplasty to restore breathing function.
      • Top rhinoplasty surgeons understand that symmetrical and straight noses can quickly add to overall facial appeal, while an uneven or oddly shaped nose draws attention away from your other attractive features.

      Rhinoplasty Patient Testimonials

      I just recently got a rhinoplasty and love my results.

      I’m so happy with the shape of my nose and I still look like myself. I can breathe just as well as I could before. The staff are all very understanding and supportive. Dr. Moynihan is an amazing surgeon and extremely professional. I am now 8 months out from surgery and couldn’t be more confident in my appearance. If you are considering a rhinoplasty, I highly recommend Gold Coast. They are the best of the best!

      L.B

      Dr. Moynihan’s expertise is truly unmatched, and I knew I was in good hands when choosing him for my rhinoplasty.

      Even though the cast hid the majority of my nose, I wanted to cry tears of joy in the recovery room because I could tell the results were going to be amazing. Dr. Moynihan also takes the time to call you after the surgery to ensure a smooth recovery. I am now one month post op and loving the results. All in all, I cannot thank him and his team enough for such a wonderful experience! This was truly life-changing!

      Dr. Moynihan is extremely talented and I’m so glad I selected him for my procedures.

      I highly recommend Dr. Moynihan and his wonderful team. I had a revision rhinoplasty and brow lift and I’m very happy with the results. My deviated septum was corrected beautifully, my breathing is excellent, and my results are natural-looking! Dr. Moynihan is extremely talented and I’m so glad I selected him for my procedures. I would definitely go back to him if I need any other procedure in the future!
