HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO CHANGE THE SHAPE OF YOUR NOSE?
Some people dislike the nose they were born with, and others the way their nose has changed shape with age or accidents. Your nose is the centerpiece of your face and one of the most defining facial characteristics.
When the nose is in proportion to the rest of your facial profile, it brings out the eyes and enhances human communication. The rest of the face, including the lips and cheeks all work together to create a pleasing facial aesthetic and harmony. This is why many people decide to get a nose job, or rhinoplasty.

What are the risks of rhinoplasty surgery?
Like any surgical cosmetic procedure, rhinoplasty carries universal (but minimal) risks such as visible scars, bleeding and bruising, infection (superficial or deep), and temporary or permanent pain. There are also potential complications related to anesthesia. The primary risk of any cosmetic surgery is dissatisfaction with the results. Despite thorough consultations, complete examinations, and photo simulations, the unpredictable nature of tissue healing during the recovery period can lead to asymmetries or irregularities that may require touch-ups.
Additionally, rhinoplasty involves the rare risk of creating a perforation in the nasal septum, which usually does not produce symptoms and can be repaired with another intervention if needed. Numbness in the tip of the nose is common for a few months post-surgery but generally resolves over time. Although very rare, nasal surgery can sometimes cause nasal obstruction.
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A NOSE JOB SURGERY IN MONTREAL?
Good candidates for a nose job are the following:
- Individuals who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the appearance of their nose and who understand the potential risks and rewards of the procedure.
- Candidates should be in good physical health, non-smokers (or willing to quit), and have realistic expectations about the outcomes.
- Additionally, the nose must be fully developed, which typically occurs by age 15-16 in girls and 17-18 in boys.

What Does a Rhinoplasty Cost in Montreal?
The cost of rhinoplasty in Montreal can vary widely depending on several factors, including the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the procedure, and the type of anesthesia used. On average, the price range can be anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000. It’s important to note that this price range is an estimate and can vary significantly. Many clinics offer consultations to provide a more accurate quote based on the individual’s specific needs and goals. It’s also worth considering that additional costs may include anesthesia, operating room facilities, and post-surgery garments.
What conditions can be addressed with a rhinoplasty procedure?
The nose is one of the most prominent facial features, and is often the first thing people notice. Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, can address a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including:
- Straightening a crooked nose
- Restoring the original shape of a broken nose
- Reducing or enlarging the size of the nose
- Reducing a bump on the nasal bridge
- Restoring height to a flat area
- Altering the nasal tip
- Reducing a big nose or shortening a long nose
- Reducing or correcting a dorsal hump
- Reducing or increasing the size of the nostrils or making them more symmetrical
- Correcting birth defects and nasal deformities
- Repairing damage caused by an injury, infection, or cancer
By addressing these conditions, rhinoplasty helps patients achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial appearance.
WHICH IS BETTER, OPEN OR CLOSED APPROACH RHINOPLASTY?
Open and closed rhinoplasty surgical procedures are types of nose surgery approaches. During open rhinoplasty, an incision is made across the columella (the thin strip of tissue that separates the nostrils), while closed rhinoplasty involves incisions hidden inside the nose. The surgical approach needs to be adapted to each patient’s nasal structure.
In general, the external (or open) approach enables better precision, better control, better visualization, and produces superior results in our practice. The only difference that the patients notice between open and closed rhinoplasty is that the external approach leaves a little external scar under the nose that generally heals well and is barely visible after a few months.
How Long is the Recovery Period Following a Rhinoplasty Nose Job?
The recovery time after a rhinoplasty can vary from person to person but generally involves a significant amount of downtime.
- Immediately following rhinoplasty surgery, our Montreal patients can expect bruising and swelling around the eyes and nose, which typically begins to improve after the first week. If needed, pain medication can be prescribed for the weeks following surgery.
- Most people can return to work or school two weeks after their nose surgery, although physical activities that could potentially impact the nose should be avoided for at least six weeks.
- Complete healing and the final shape of the nose may not be fully apparent until a year after the surgery, as the swelling gradually subsides.
Can Nose Surgery Improve the Appearance of Nostrils?
Yes, rhinoplasty can significantly improve the appearance of nostrils. It can adjust their size, shape, and symmetry to better match the rest of the nose and the overall facial structure. Techniques can include narrowing wide nostrils, adjusting their position, or changing their shape to create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The specific approach depends on the initial structure of the nose and the desired outcome.
