Best Rhinoplasty Surgeons in Chicago?

There are several outstanding rhinoplasty surgeons in Chicago, and I would not so humbly include myself in that group, having board certification by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and the American Board of Otolaryngology and over 30 years of experience.  In narrowing down your choice, I would focus on reputation, online reviews, and before and after pictures, looking for an aesthetic that matches yours.  On consultation, you should look at before and after examples that have features in common with your own, and of course choose a surgeon that you are comfortable with.  

Being in the Chicago area, you have a number of choices in surgeons. In my opinion, the correct surgeon for you is one who is board-certified (facial plastic surgery or plastic surgery), has years of rhinoplasty experience, listens to your concerns, and gives you confidence that you will receive the outcome you are looking for. In-person consultation is paramount, because you won't be able to get a full sense of that surgeon and his or her style until you meet in person. Ask for a simulation of the surgery to get an idea of the type of alterations the surgeon intends to make. Look at before and after pictures and reviews of previous patients. Also, try your best not to be deceived by the price of the procedure. Shopping for deals for the least expensive surgeon is a sure-fire way to get into trouble. The opposite is true, too--the most expensive surgeons are not necessarily the best, either. After consulting with multiple surgeons, listen to your gut about who you believe will help you achieve your desired look. 

You will need to find a board certified surgeon. They should have plenty of positive review, a good photo gallery and excellent bedside manner. Facial plastic surgery training is NOT a requirement, there are thousands of qualified general plastic surgeons who perform this operation beautifully. 

The best way to find a surgeon in your area is either
through direct word of mouth, or through your own research. By research, I mean
booking and attending various consultation appointments before committing to a
surgeon in Chicago. Try to find a surgeon who is experienced, but who is also
personable and with whom you can truly connect; what works for one person may
not work for another. Always remember to ensure that the surgeon you choose is
board certified and ask to see before-and-after photos of past patients to
assess their style and consistency.

Fortunately, the Chicagoland area has great options for you.  It's important you choose a surgeon that specializes in Rhinoplasty.  Most likely, they will be a board certified facial plastic surgeon and are very experienced with the nose and face.  Plenty of pre and post-op photos should be available for you to view and computer imaging is also extremely helpful for patients to communicate their concerns and desires.  

The only REAL way to evaluate results fo the plastic surgery procedures other than knowing a lot of patients is to carefully evaluate before and after photographs. Everything else is just talk . Make sure surgeon has hundreds of photographs (not only a few) decide if you like the results and ask about revision rate - should be less than 1-2% (national average 10-15%)

 

Best Chicago rhinoplasty surgeons include Dr. Eugene Tardy and Dr. Dean Toriumi. They are the most renowned in that area. I believe Dr. Regan Thomas is also in that area now and he is also one of the best known rhinoplasty surgeons. They can at least offer their opinions before you proceed with one in your area who might be less costly.

All of the surgeons mentioned above are experienced rhinoplasty surgeons. Look at their work and their "fit' with your goals and that will tell you which is right for you.

These are the few I know are very good. You should meet two surgeons at least and then form your own opinion.

Dr. Dean Toriumi is a well-known and well-respected rhinoplasty surgeon in Chicago, both by patients and by us surgeons. At a minimum, his evaluation and opinion might be worth your while.
All the best,
