Your Solution for Rhinoplasty in South Bend

The nose is the focal point of the face. It’s even an infamous element of folklore and stories across the ages. Cyrano de Bergerac and Pinocchio had no choice but to deal with the nose they’d been dealt. Thankfully, you have choices.

If you’d rather your infamy not be associated with the most prominent feature of your face, you’re not alone. Rhinoplasty surgery can alter and improve the shape of your nose and can help you to find the confidence and comfort you’ve been looking for.

If you’re searching specifically for rhinoplasty in South Bend, there’s a surgeon who specializes solely in facial plastic surgery, who is experienced and skilled at reshaping the size and appearance of the most defining feature of the face – the nose.

Do I Qualify for Rhinoplasty in South Bend?

Whether your dissatisfaction of the shape or size of your nose is a result of natural formation (from birth), deformities from birth or an injury, rhinoplasty can improve both the appearance and functionality of your nose (trouble breathing).

If you’re seeking rhinoplasty in South Bend (or surrounding areas) you may want to consider Chadwell Facial Plastic Surgery. Not only does Dr. Jon Chadwell specialize exclusively in facial plastic surgery, he has years of experience in rhinoplasty.

Before any type of facial plastic procedure is performed, including rhinoplasty, Dr. Chadwell schedules a thorough consultation to determine if a potential patient meets all necessary criteria. Generally, however, rhinoplasty candidates meet the following:

• Are in good health with realistic expectations
• Desire to change the size and shape of the nose
• Want to correct/reshape the bridge of the nose (humps, depressions, etc.)
• Seek to correct drooping or hooked nasal tip of the nose
• Seek to correct large or upturned nostrils
• Are looking to have nasal asymmetry

When will I see results?

Since rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure requiring sedation or general anesthesia, patients should allow several weeks of recovery time. Although swelling will significantly lessen over a few weeks, it’s vital that patients wear the required nose splint during the healing process and take care not to touch or disturb the nose area. Some patients may notice dramatic results within weeks, however, others may not see full results for up to a year as the reshaping continues to develop.

Once full recovery has been made, patients love the new shape of their nose and the symmetry it creates in combination with overall facial features.
