Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision across the columella, the bridge that separates your nostrils, for greater visibility and precision in reshaping complex structures. Closed rhinoplasty places incisions inside the nostrils for minimal external scarring and quicker recovery.

Your Questions, Answered With Care
Yes. At CASI, our surgeons specialize in achieving subtle, balanced improvements that harmonize with your other facial features—never overdone or artificial.
Most patients can resume light activity within a week after their rhinoplasty in Rosemont.
Dr. Szczerba may place a splint or use packing to hold the nasal tissue in place while the nose heals from the procedure. Follow all post-operative instructions for an optimal outcome. This includes resting at home, keeping the head elevated for a certain period of time, and carefully tending to the incisions. Patients should plan to take about 7 to 10 days off work. Avoid bending, lifting, or strenuous activity during the recovery period. Patients will experience some bruising and swelling, but this will dissipate in time; it may take several months for all the swelling to disappear. We schedule regular follow-up appointments to check your progress, remove the stitches, and answer any questions about the recovery period.
Yes. Functional rhinoplasty or septoplasty can correct structural issues, like a deviated septum or collapsed nasal passages, improving airflow and overall breathing comfort.
Rhinoplasty results are permanent. Once healed, your new nasal shape and profile remain consistent, though minor changes may occur naturally as part of the aging process.
Absolutely. Many patients choose to combine their rhinoplasty in Rosemont with other surgeries or cosmetic treatments to enhance their facial balance and harmony. During your consultation, we can talk through what comprehensive rejuvenation may look like for you.
