Rhinoplasty by Dr. Mustoe Before & After Case 994

This 23-year-old patient, a passionate women's soccer player, sought the expertise of Dr. Thomas Mustoe to correct a longstanding deviated septum and external deviation to her nose, both the results of previous sports-related injuries. A desire for a straight nose, septum, and improved overall profile were the driving forces behind the decision to undergo a Rhinoplasty by Dr. Mustoe in Chicago. A history of nasal fracture and vestibular stenosis resulting in nasal obstruction further complicated her lifestyle, affecting her athletic performance and contributing to her motivation for surgery.

Undergoing the procedure at the age of 23 under IV sedation, the patient received a septoplasty, rhinoplasty with spreader graft repair of vestibular stenosis, and reshaping of the nasal tip. The results were both functional and aesthetic, producing not only an improvement in her nasal breathing but also a pleasing profile, which achieved her goal of having a straight nose and septum. The recovery has been smooth; she is delighted with her results six months post-surgery.

The procedure was carried out at TLKM Plastic Surgery located at 737 North Michigan Ave., #1500, Chicago, Illinois 60611 US. By entrusting her care to Dr. Mustoe, certified by both the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the patient received expertise born from over 30 years of experience in plastic surgery. Dr. Mustoe's comprehensive, patient-centric approach to care, evolving from years of teaching, research, advisory roles, and his clinical practice, fosters confidence in his patients. Having completed his education and training at prestigious institutions like Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. Thomas Mustoe is continually recognized both locally and nationally as a top doctor in his field.
