Rhinoplasty Montreal - Improve your complexion with a nose job in Montreal
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 its most defining 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.

Benefits of a rhinoplasty procedure
People get nose surgery for a variety of reasons. Some want to improve aesthetic issues, changing the appearance and shape of the nose. Others also have breathing issues and elect to have surgery called a septoplasty to fix a crooked or deviated septum, that is often performed at the same time as cosmetic rhinoplasty. Others seek out revision rhinoplasty to fix previous nose jobs with less than ideal results.
Here are conditions a nose job can fix:
- Straighten a crooked nose
- Restore the original shape of a broken nose
- Reduce or enlarge the size of the nose
- Restore height of a flat area
- Alter the nasal tip
- Reduce or correct a dorsal hump
- Correct birth defects and nasal deformities
- Repair damage caused by an injury, infection, or cancer
- Improve breathing difficulties by opening up the nasal airway

Which is better, open or closed approach rhinoplasty?
Open and closed rhinoplasty surgical procedures are types of nose surgery approaches. 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 the two approaches 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.
The best rhinoplasty option depends on each patient: let Dr Moubayed help you
In our facial plastic surgeon’s practice, Dr. Moubayed uses both closed and open rhinoplasty, and he usually uses the approach that is the most appropriate for each patient to maximize the chances that our patients get the best results.

What are the risks of rhinoplasty surgery?
Like any surgical cosmetic procedure, a rhinoplasty procedure presents the universal (but minimal) risks of scarring, bleeding (and bruising), infection (superficial or deep), and pain (temporary or permanent).
However, the main risk of any cosmetic surgery is to not be satisfied with the result. After a proper consultation that includes a complete examination and photo simulations, Dr. Moubayed can generally produce the nose desired by the patient. However, we do not control the healing of tissues in the recovery period, and some patients heal in an unpredictable way producing asymmetries or irregularities that can sometimes require touch-ups.
Any rhinoplasty involves the rare risk of producing a perforation in the nasal septum, but this usually does not produce any symptoms. If it is symptomatic, it is amenable to repair with another intervention. The tip of the nose is numb for a few months after surgery but generally recovers most of the time.
Finally, any nasal surgery has the very rare risk of producing nasal obstruction. Our board-certified surgeon Dr. Moubayed uses a modern approach to rhinoplasty that always considers the functional aspects of the nose in order to preserve and improve breathing.

What happens during the initial consultation for nose surgery rhinoplasty in Montreal?
An in-person consultation starts with a complete questionnaire and physical examination. Some patients require an endoscopic exam using a camera the size of a spaghetti to examine your nose from the inside.
Photos are taken and simulations are performed in real-time to simulate what is feasible in surgery. This is an essential communication tool as some patients want changes that are not always possible in surgery.
Then, we talk about surgery and recovery, and Dr. Moubayed answers any and all questions you may have.
Multiple consultations are sometimes necessary before deciding to proceed with rhinoplasty. Cosmetic facial surgery is an important decision to make and it is important that you are well informed before proceeding with it.helps avoid zones at risk for complications.
