Improve Your Facial 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.
Conditions that can be fixed by nose jobs:
- Straighten a crooked nose
- Restore the original shape of a broken nose
- Reduce or enlarge the size of the nose
- Reduce a bump on the bridge of the nose
- Restore height of a flat area
- Alter the nasal tip
- Reduce a big nose or shorten a long nose
- Reduce or correct a dorsal hump
- Reduce or increase the size of the nostrils or make them more symmetrical
- 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 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.
The best rhinoplasty option depends on each patient: let Dr Moubayed help you
In our head and neck surgeon practicing in facial plastic surgery’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 visible scars, bleeding (and bruising), infection (superficial or deep), and pain (temporary or permanent). There are also possibilities of complications related to anesthesia.
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.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Nose Job?
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.
A consultation with a qualified head and neck surgeon practicing in facial plastic surgery can help determine if rhinoplasty is the right choice based on individual goals and health conditions.

More about cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery
What is a Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job, is a surgical procedure aimed at changing the shape, size, or proportions of the nose to enhance facial harmony and, in some cases, improve breathing. The surgery can address a wide range of concerns, including but not limited to, the nasal bridge’s width, the position of the nostrils, and the angle between the nose and the upper lip.
Rhinoplasty can be performed using different techniques, depending on the desired outcome. The two primary approaches are open rhinoplasty, where an incision is made across the columella (the thin strip of tissue that separates the nostrils), and closed rhinoplasty, which involves incisions hidden inside the nose.
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.
How Long is the Recovery Period Following a Rhinoplasty?
The recovery period after a rhinoplasty can vary from person to person but generally involves a significant amount of downtime. Immediately following surgery, 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 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 Rhinoplasty 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.
What Other Cosmetic Surgeries are Offered at Clinique FaceMD?
Medispa Treatments
Clinique FaceMD offers a variety of Medispa treatments designed to rejuvenate the skin and address cosmetic concerns without surgery. These treatments can include dermal fillers, Botox injections, laser skin resurfacing, and lip fillers. They are typically less invasive than surgical procedures, with minimal downtime and immediate results.
Face Lift
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure offered at Clinique FaceMD to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and sagging skin, resulting from aging. The procedure can improve the overall appearance of the face and jaw, restoring a more youthful and refreshed look.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is performed to improve the appearance of the eyelids. Surgery can be done on either the upper lids, lower lids, or both. It aims to remove excess skin, eliminate bags under the eyes, and correct droopiness, making the eyes look younger and more alert. This procedure can enhance the aesthetic appearance of the eyes and, in some cases, improve vision by removing obstructions.
What happens during the initial consultation for cosmetic nose surgery?
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.
