Rhinoplasty surgery in TorontoRhinoplasty in Toronto is a top-requested procedure. This cosmetic surgery is designed to alter the appearance of a person’s nose using a variety of techniques. Because your nose is central on your face, it’s size and shape affect your entire appearance.

Some Toronto rhinoplasty patients want to smooth down a bump, narrow a bulbous tip, build up the nose bridge, or reduce the size and prominence of their nose. If you feel your facial proportions are out of balance, it can negatively affect self-esteem every day. It’s Dr. Phillip Solomon’s goal to help each, unique rhinoplasty patient achieve the nose enhancement that suits them best and restore their confidence.

If you’re considering of a nose job, there’s a lot to learn about this complex, transformative procedure. We recommend you meet with a surgeon who specializes in the intricate subspecialty of facial cosmetic surgery. Ensure the surgeon you choose has plenty of rhinoplasty experience and takes the time to listen to your personal needs and goals. Having a nose job can be one of the best decisions you ever make.

Who should perform your rhinoplasty in Toronto?

Dr. Philip Solomon is facial surgeon, specializing in Rhinoplasty for nearly two decades.

He is widely recognized as a Canadian leader in Cosmetic Facial Plastic Surgery, having performed thousands of procedures. There are a few essential things to keep in mind about your rhinoplasty surgeon:

In Canada, your nasal surgeon should hold the credential ‘FRCSC.’ It means they’re certified by the Royal College of Surgeons. Your chosen expert should be certified as either a plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, or an otolaryngologist, head and neck surgeon.

Rhinoplasty surgery accounts for a substantial number of the procedures Dr. Solomon performs regularly. With in-depth practice experience of both cosmetic and reconstructive nasal surgery, he’s able to carry out some of the most challenging cases with beautiful results.

What is a primary rhinoplasty?

Whether you’re seeking rhinoplasty in Toronto for purely aesthetic purposes, to improve a functional issue, or for dramatic facial enhancement, we’ll cater to your unique needs.

When choosing nose surgery for the first time, it’s referred to as primary. Many people know from a young age that they want a nose job to change an aspect of their nose. Others decide after a nose injury, or as they become dissatisfied with some aspect of the nose over time.

People who undergo nose surgery to improve breathing will typically have what’s known as a septoplasty. This procedure to straighten and clear nasal passages deals with the central bone and cartilage that make up the septum. If combining this functional improvement with visible, aesthetic changes, then it will be termed, “septorhinoplasty.”

No two noses are entirely alike, and although you may have an ideal “wish” nose, keep in mind that unique anatomy means everyone’s procedure and outcomes will be a little different. An experienced Toronto rhinoplasty surgeon will evaluate your other facial characteristics, your desires, and nasal anatomy to create an optimal plan for you.

Primary rhinoplasty involves careful manipulation of the nasal structures to straighten, refine, add, remove or otherwise alter nasal tissue. The operation can be done with a “closed” or “open” approach. Closed rhinoplasty requires incisions made inside the nostrils and use of specialized instruments. The scars will be hidden, and recovery time quicker. This less invasive option is well-suited to more subtle nose changes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What is the Difference Between a Septoplasty and a Rhinoplasty?

    Septoplasty is a surgery performed to correct functional issues of the nose such as breathing. Septoplasty in Toronto is covered by OHIP, and the surgery is typically performed by an ENT surgeon. Rhinoplasty is a surgery performed to address aesthetic issues of the nose such as a dorsal hump, a crooked nasal bridge, a droopy nasal tip and augmentation of the nasal bridge. Rhinoplasty in Toronto is a cosmetic surgical procedure and is not covered by the provincial health care plan.

    At Solomon Facial Plastic Toronto, Dr. Philip Solomon predominantly performs Closed Rhinoplasty on his patients. Closed Rhinoplasty is performed intranasal, which means through the nostrils. This technique allows for fewer risks, less trauma to the nose no residual scarring and an easier recovery. At Solomon Facial Plastic Toronto, Open Rhinoplasty may be necessary for patients who have a severely crooked nasal bridge or for select Revision Rhinoplasty cases that require this technique.

  • How Long Until I Can See Results After Rhinoplasty Surgery?

    Often patients can see results once their splint has been removed.

Thicker skin can take a bit longer to heal, up to 18 months. Taking photos in your surgeons’ office every few months will allow you to see the slight changes as the nose heals.

The open rhinoplasty method requires incisions within the nostrils and one small incision across the columella- between the nostrils. This technique allows the surgeon to access the full anatomy of your nose to make complex and dramatic improvements. The recovery for this style maybe be a little longer, yet scars are still typically very well-hidden and not easy to see once healed.

Every person has a nose size, skin type, contours, nostril size, and other elements specific to their body. A skilled rhinoplasty surgeon will carefully assess the type and extent of procedure you need to get the nose you want, and they’ll make a treatment plan that aims for a natural-looking nose that fits ideally on your face. Rhinoplasty is meant to be very individual.

Secondary/ Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is requested if the first procedure didn’t fully address the patient’s concerns, or if there is an aesthetic result the patient is unsatisfied with. Depending on the severity of the issue, correction may be relatively easy or highly demanding. A secondary nose job presents the challenge of altered blood supply, tough scar tissue and depleted cartilage.

At Solomon Facial Plastic, hundreds of Toronto rhinoplasty patients who are unsatisfied with results from another practitioner, seek out Dr. Solomon’s help.

If you’re dealing with a frustrating result, Dr. Solomon will be pleased to consult with you, analyze the state of your nose, then present options appropriate for you. Call today to learn the next steps.

What is African American Rhinoplasty?

Ethnic rhinoplasty requires facial cosmetic surgery experience with a variety of ethnicities and nose types. The aim when working with African American patients is typically to preserve the natural characteristics distinctive to their heritage, yet improve overall balance, proportion and specific concerns.

General differences between most European noses and African American ones include thicker skin, nasal flare, flatter nasal bridge, and broader nose bones. European patients may reduce the size of their nose through “reduction rhinoplasty surgery.” However, when completing an African American rhinoplasty, alterations to size or width are made without erasing ethnic distinctions that harmonize beautifully with the rest of the face.

What is an Asian Rhinoplasty?

Like other ethnically specific nose jobs, Asian rhinoplasty respects the anatomy unique to Asian faces. Many clients who fit under this umbrella seek greater definition of the nasal tip and additive changes for the low bridge or radix. The goal of Asian rhinoplasty is a harmonious, refined nose that blends well with the patient’s Asian heritage. The goal for most Asian patients is not to create a Caucasian nose, but to enhance the existing features within a context of Asian-specific characteristics. Dr. Solomon has completed Asian rhinoplasties for nearly 20 years.

What is Persian Rhinoplasty?

Persian rhinoplasty in Toronto is extremely popular. The Persian culture in this diverse city is well-represented, and both women and men in this ethnic group are often accepting and interested in facial cosmetic surgery. Dr. Solomon’s Persian patients are usually knowledgeable about nose jobs and will often request consistent feature changes. This type of rhinoplasty accounts for a significant number of the rhinoplasty we perform. Dr. Solomon is considered an in-demand expert in the Toronto Persian community. Common requests include reducing a bump on the bridge and reducing the overall size and prominence of the nose.

What is the cost of Rhinoplasty in Toronto? Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Procedures

Researching any facial plastic surgery procedure is an important first step for any potential patient. One of the most frustrating elements of researching rhinoplasty costs in Toronto is that you will see ranging prices for nose jobs listed on surgeon’s websites.

Typical fees for Rhinoplasty can range between $6,000-10,000 plus HST, however many factors contribute to the cost variations. A higher price point for nose jobs in Toronto does not always indicate better quality or a more experienced surgeon. Many plastic surgeons perform cosmetic procedures for any area of the body and the amount of rhinoplasty surgeries they perform each year could be few.

Cost of rhinoplastyIf they are located in a high-end neighborhood, their prices may be high, yet it is very important to ensure that your surgeon has a wealth of knowledge and experience in your, specific area of treatment. As well, a low price does not necessarily indicate poor quality, though it should cause some concern and investigation if you see pricing that appears too good to be true.

You should ensure that your surgeon is board certified, experienced and well-trained, and that they operate from fully accredited surgical centres or hospitals. Important questions to ask include those regarding any additional fees, follow up appointments or other costs you could incur.

Your best choice for rhinoplasty surgeon in Toronto will be board certified, have many years of experience performing complex rhinoplasty procedures as their focussed specialty, and will show you excellent before and after examples of their work. You can ask for an all-in surgical quote and understand the value in your investment. The best place to begin comparing rhinoplasty costs in Toronto is with an expert rhinoplasty surgeon.

What Are The Factors Which Affect Rhinoplasty Costs In Toronto?

Your Rhinoplasty surgery in Toronto will be considered a cosmetic/ elective procedure unless your treatment involves correction of a deviated septum or breathing issue. In those cases, partial costs may be covered by provincial health insurance. Other instances where a portion of the price for a nose job could be covered by insurance include injury or illness which require surgical excision of tissue or reconstructive work due to damage to the tissues. Various tests or scans may be ordered in partnership with your primary care physician and according to your provincial health or insurance company’s policies.

The Quote Breakdown

The majority of rhinoplasty surgeries are considered to be cosmetic and their fee breakdown would include the surgeon’s fee for operating, the anaesthesiologist’s fee, the cost of medications including anaesthetic, the surgical facility fee and the fees of all licenced health providers on your surgeon’s team.

Typically, all cost for rhinoplasty surgery are included in one quote for your convenience, but be sure to ask if additional appointments, medications or other supplies will be billed separately.

Financing

Many plastic surgery clinics offer in-house financing, or they work with 3rd party medical financing companies who can help offset the cost of a large purchase by allowing you to pay in small, monthly installments over a long period of time.

10 Things You Need to Know About Rhinoplasty

Our Toronto rhinoplasty patients often spend significant time researching and gathering the information they need to decide if they want to pursue surgery. Your consultation is your opportunity to review your questions and ensure that you are well informed prior to scheduling your procedure. We’ve gathered 10 of our top “need to know” facts about rhinoplasty that you may not have thought of. We hope you find these tips helpful, and we invite you to contact Solomon Facial Plastic any time for more information to guide you.

Take plenty of time off after rhinoplasty in Toronto

Who isn’t a multi-tasker these days? Our patients are students and busy professionals, eager to bounce back after cosmetic surgery. While you may have read about varying recovery times online, we recommend you take more than enough time off. At least 7-10 days is standard, but everyone experiences bruising and swelling a little differently.

You can count on most bruising to have disappeared by the 14-day mark and you’ll be looking normal enough not to feel self conscious in public. It’s also easier to protect your nose, avoid bending over or overexerting yourself when you’re resting at home. The first two weeks are crucial for healing, so take all the time you can to ensure optimal recovery.

Ask your surgeon about taking homeopathic Arnica remedies to resolve bruising faster. At Solomon Facial Plastic, we recommend taking Arnica after your surgery as it can significantly help minimize the appearance of both bruising and swelling.

Results may often appear temporarily asymmetric after a nose job.

This is entirely normal. Your body will tend to resolve inflammation at a different pace on each side. This is true after body shaping surgery and the for facial surgery. Let your surgeon know if you have concerns and they’ll ensure you’re on track and monitor your recovery.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging of all cosmetic surgeries. The expertise of your surgeon is essential, and their technique can directly affect your outcome, so choose your rhinoplasty surgeon carefully.

A perfect result should not be the goal.

It’s very important to go into this process with realistic expectations. An accomplished surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty will be able to share with you what they hope to accomplish with your surgery based on your skin type, facial anatomy and structure. In some cases, a surgeon can experience challenges in surgery that can affect your outcome and cannot be predicted prior to surgery. If your surgeon is promising perfection, find another surgeon.

Keep your head up!

You may have heard this one, but we can’t stress it enough. Keep the head and shoulders elevated after rhinoplasty to help reduce swelling faster. It will also minimize discomfort. Don’t bend over, (even to quickly pick up items off the floor.) The majority of swelling should resolve 3-4 weeks following your surgery.

Don’t fear a painful recovery.

In most cases, Toronto rhinoplasty patients describe the recovery as comfortable and easy to manage with minimal medication. The most significant discomfort factor is the sense of congestion and facial pressure throughout the first week. Your surgeon will show you how to gently cleanse and moisturize the nostrils for added comfort.

You can’t have someone else’s nose.

Though many people bring pictures of their “dream nose” to their Toronto rhinoplasty surgeon, it can only serve as a guide. Dr. Solomon will do his best to achieve your desired results, however, if what you wish for isn’t realistic or will not suit your face, he will be sure to share this with you. Computer imaging is a useful tool to show patients what your surgeons’ projected goals are to ensure you are both on the same page.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty surgery is sometimes desired to improve on a previous result. Patients should understand that Revision Rhinoplasty can often have greater risks than the primary surgery. Revisions can be more complex due to a build up of scar tissue as well as less cartilage to work with. Be sure to seek a highly experienced and knowledgeable specialist if you need a second nose job.

Your comfort and ability to communicate well with your surgeon is essential.

Your journey begins in consultation and knowing that you feel heard and understood is important. You should feel completely at ease to ask questions and feel that you are getting honest and straightforward answers. Dr. Solomon provides his patients with contact information to reach him at any time both before and after his surgery. Follow-up appointments are important in order to monitor your progress and discuss concerns in person.
