Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Rhinoplasty at TLKM Plastic Surgery in Chicago is led by Dr. Thomas Mustoe, a double board-certified surgeon whose reputation for nasal refinement extends well beyond Illinois. Dr. Mustoe approaches every rhinoplasty case holistically — evaluating the nose in the context of overall facial harmony, bone and cartilage structure, skin thickness, and functional concerns before recommending a surgical plan.

The practice handles a wide spectrum of rhinoplasty cases, from straightforward aesthetic refinements (tip refinement, dorsal hump reduction, nostril reshaping) to complex revision rhinoplasty where prior surgery has produced unsatisfactory results. Functional issues such as a deviated septum or nasal valve collapse are routinely corrected at the same time, allowing patients to improve both breathing and appearance in a single procedure.

Dr. Mustoe's training at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, combined with 35+ years in practice and a continuous NIH research portfolio, gives him the technical depth to manage even the most structurally demanding nasal cases.
