The world of cosmetic surgery is constantly evolving with new trends and techniques as well as preferences for the type of look people are seeking. Dr. Philip Solomon, one of Canada’s leading Otolaryngologist Head and Neck Surgeons, practicing Facial Plastic Surgery in Toronto, has his finger on the pulse when it comes to trends and advancements in Cosmetic Surgery.
While traditionally patients have often opted for a Rhinoplasty as a means to eliminate or minimize their natural characteristics in favor of a more cookie cutter look, we have seen a recent shift from our Toronto Rhinoplasty patients.
In the 80s and 90s in particular, the most common reason for a nose job was to remove cartilage and shave down bumps to give the appearance of a perfectly proportionate and symmetrical nose. In recent years however, patients are turning to Rhinoplasty to best produce more natural looking results that will preserve and enhance unique features rather than erase them completely.
Dr. Solomon takes great pride in keeping at the forefront of technological advances in cosmetic surgery, staying up to date on the latest treatments and techniques. As a result, it is now possible to achieve completely customized treatment plans and results that enhance each patient’s unique features.
Our patients coming in for Rhinoplasty in Toronto usually do not want the same nose as someone else. Rather, they simply want to look like a better version of themselves. With the current climate in the cosmetic surgery industry, we are able to execute the smallest changes that will deliver the maximum results. Using artistic precision, Dr. Solomon is a firm believer that less is more. By making subtle changes to the cartilage, skin, or bone, patients can achieve life-changing yet natural looking results.
In the world of Rhinoplasty in Toronto, we are seeing that there is no longer a universally ‘ideal’ or ‘perfect’ type of nose. In the 70s and 80s, Rhinoplasty often resulted in a ‘ski-slope’ appearance to the bridge of the nose, with over-resected nostrils. Now, patients are looking for a less dramatic change, and techniques have since evolved to suit these changing preferences.
By having an honest and open dialogue with all prospective patients, Dr. Solomon is able to devise a completely individualized treatment plan appropriate to each patient’s unique facial features, skin type and ethnic background. Rather than the aggressive cartilage removal techniques that have been used in the past, we prefer to employ for conservative techniques to preserve the unique aspects of each patients nose.
Many patients today are also turning to Revision Rhinoplasty as a means to alter the results of a previous rhinoplasty procedure. In a time when it has never been more encouraged to embrace your individuality, many people are no longer satisfied with the cookie cutter results of their original Rhinoplasty.
When it comes to revision Rhinoplasty in Toronto, Dr. Philip Solomon has a wealth of experience in restoring support and structure to the nose, while providing the natural looking results the patients of today are looking for.
The future of Rhinoplasty in Toronto is looking bright as patients now have more tools than ever to make fully informed decisions and avoid disappointment or regret following their procedure. Computer imaging is another great tool offered at our clinic that allows patients to get a preview of what their results may resemble prior to undergoing their rhinoplasty surgery.
If you are considering a Rhinoplasty in Toronto, we encourage you to contact our clinic for a consultation with Dr. Philip Solomon.

Kathy Ellis2024-12-16 I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Solomon, and couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From the first consultation, Dr. Solomon’s expertise and professionalism put me at ease. He guided me every step of the way, ensuring that I understood the process and felt comfortable. The outcome exceeded my expectations, as I now look like a fresher, younger version of myself. Dr. Solomon’s attention to detail and skill truly enhanced my natural beauty. I feel more confident and rejuvenated than ever. I must also recognize two of his amazing staff, Nurse Maddie and Nurse Nancy who were kind, attentive, responsive and always available when I reached out to them. Thank you Dr. Solomon, for giving me a renewed sense of self! Vanessa Gray2024-12-06 I am exactly one week out from my deep plane facelift surgery. I am healing so quickly and the results are already so amazing. Dr. Philip Solomon is not only a skilled surgeon but an artist. I travelled all the way from Vancouver and have no regrets. Thank you Dr. Solomon, Nancie, and the rest of your team! L J2024-12-06 Dr Solomon and his team have been exceptional. Ive always felt self conscious about the droopiness of my nose tip, but from the first consultation, Dr Solomon put me at ease with his excellent bedside manner and willingness to answer all my questions. After surgery, a nurse called me to check in, and my recovery process has been quite smooth. Now at 8 weeks post op I feel a newfound confidence every time I look in the mirror. Nancy has also been incredibly supportive, patiently answering questions and providing reassurance as I continue to navigate some post-op swelling (which is expected). Incredible experience and I’m so grateful to the entire team! Jen Muller2024-12-05 I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Solomon. A few years ago, I had rhinoseptoplasty for a deviated septum and a nostril that seemed to be collapsing. Since the surgery, I have been able to breathe much better. I then developed a cyst deep under the layers of my skin beside my nose. It took three years of meeting with various experts to try to figure out what was going on and how to remove it without scarring. Apparently this type of cyst is very rare. It took a long time, waiting for ultrasounds and CT scans. Dr. Solomon helped me through this entire process and was able to remove it from the inside of my nose without scarring. I cannot express enough of my appreciation for the removal of the cyst. It was causing a lot of issues for me with swelling that was unpredictable and distressing. It is a big decision to consider surgery and it’s important to research who you choose to work with, I would feel confident in your choice if you choose to work with Dr. Solomon. Susan Khamassi2024-12-03 I had rhinoplasty with Dr. Solomon. I was very nervous for years to do it because I wanted to still look natural. During my consult he listened to everything I wanted and now after 5 months post surgery I am beyond happy with the results. He is very skilled and would recommend him 1000 percent ! Thank you again ! R Karabassis2024-12-02 Dr. Solomon is great! Makes you feel comfortable and is also good with his aftercare and post procedure check ups. Results are amazing! Irene Karabassis2024-12-02 Dr. Solomon is amazing! He makes you feel comfortable and always addresses any of your concerns. Results are beautiful and natural! Anna Kayden2024-12-02 I’ve had two surgeries with Dr. Solomon and couldn’t be happier with the results. He’s an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable surgeon whose judgment I trust completely. Dr. Solomon provides honest, realistic feedback and never overpromises the degree of results, which I deeply appreciate. His clinical team is outstanding—they create a safe, welcoming environment every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to return for future procedures if needed. Devina Dasilva2024-10-29 It was a blessing in disguise that your receptionists treated me so poorly which led me to go elsewhere. I Thank the Lord each day for not having Dr. Solomon touch my nose and perform surgery. My nose is in the utmost pristine condition and it's only because of the Lord. What a huge blessing to find an amazing surgeon elsewhere. A big Thank You to all the receptionists who were absolutely rude towards me. Had it not been for your ridiculous behaviour - I might have walked out with a botched nose job. Tina S2024-10-25 Dr. Solomon did a top notch job on my revision rhinoplasty. I am truly amazed at the results - they are even better than what I had hoped for. Even with the issues with my nose, he fixed the issues completely and made adjustments as-needed for a stunning result. And did it all "closed". Quite incredible. I'm still amazed. Prior to surgery (consultation phase), Dr. Solomon answered my many, many questions without hesitation - bc of my experience with a previous surgeon, I was quite nervous and asked many questions. He was very patient with me. The entire team was exceedingly professional - even his operative support team. 5 stars for them too. As a side note, I researched Toronto plastic surgeons for months before landing on Dr. Solomon. I've also since learned that he has an excellent reputation not just among patients, but within the medical community. I recommend Dr. Solomon wholeheartedly.
