Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Dr. Mustoe is recognized as a national rhinoplasty expert, addressing both aesthetic reshaping and functional concerns such as a deviated septum or impaired breathing. TLKM performs primary and revision rhinoplasty, with results tailored to each patient's facial proportions. Procedures are carried out at the private 900 N Michigan Ave surgical center in Chicago, with thorough pre-operative planning during a dedicated $300 consultation that applies toward the procedure.

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. Third-party platforms (Bookimed, RealSelf) place TLKM rhinoplasty pricing well below the Chicago market average of $16,000, with estimates in the $7,200–$8,800 range for standard primary cases. Chicago and Chicagoland patients — from Evanston, Naperville, Oak Park, the North Shore, and across the Midwest — seeking rhinoplasty from a nationally regarded surgeon at a competitive price point will find TLKM among the top Illinois options. Consultations are $300 and credited toward the surgery cost.
