Enhance Your Facial Harmony and Confidence

Whether you're bothered by a bump on the bridge, wide nostrils, or a drooping tip, your nose can deeply affect how you feel about your appearance. When the shape or size of your nose feels out of sync with the rest of your face, it can create lasting self-consciousness, even if the features themselves aren’t dramatic. Rhinoplasty offers a surgical solution that’s as much about subtlety as about change. At Canadian Plastic Surgery Centre, your procedure is performed by a facial plastic surgeon specializing exclusively in facial surgery, ensuring your results feel natural, balanced, and tailored to your anatomy.

What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and refine the nose. Depending on your goals, it may involve adjusting the nasal bridge, tip, nostrils, or internal structures. The procedure can be cosmetic, functional, or both. Common concerns addressed with rhinoplasty include:

  • Dorsal hump (bump on the bridge of the nose)
  • Wide or asymmetrical nostrils
  • Breathing difficulties due to internal structure issues
  • Drooping, upturned, or bulbous tip
  • Flat nasal bridge or lack of projection

Each surgical plan is customized to the patient’s anatomy and preferences. At our Toronto facility, rhinoplasty is performed by Dr. Basil Hassouneh, a fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon with deep expertise in ethnic rhinoplasty and preservation techniques.

Nose Surgery Tailored to You

At Canadian Plastic Surgery Centre, we understand that every nose is unique, and so is every patient’s goal. While standard rhinoplasty addresses common concerns like dorsal humps or drooping tips, some patients benefit from more specialized approaches.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty focuses on reshaping the nose while preserving the distinct features of your cultural identity. Rather than trying to create a one-size-fits-all aesthetic, Dr. Hassouneh works to refine the nose in a way that respects and enhances your natural background.

Revision Rhinoplasty

If you’ve had a previous nose surgery and are unhappy with the result, whether due to appearance, function, or both, revision rhinoplasty can provide relief. This advanced procedure requires extra surgical precision and a nuanced understanding of nasal anatomy. Dr. Hassouneh specializes in revision cases and tailors every step to address your specific concerns.

The Benefits of Rhinoplasty

  • Improves overall facial balance and harmony: Reshaping the nose can create better proportion and enhance the relationship between facial features.
  • Corrects aesthetic concerns with precision: Changes are tailored to each patient’s facial structure and goals, whether subtle or more involved.
  • Enhances your profile and front-facing appearance: Rhinoplasty brings greater harmony to both your side and frontal views, helping you feel more confident in photos, social settings, and daily life.
  • Improves breathing (when needed): For those with functional issues, rhinoplasty can enhance airflow and nasal comfort while improving shape.
  • Boosts confidence and emotional well-being: Many patients feel more comfortable and assured in photos, conversation, and daily life.

Is Rhinoplasty Right for Me?

You may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty if:

  • You feel your nose is too large, wide, crooked, or asymmetrical
  • You’re unhappy with a nasal bump, drooping tip, or nostril shape
  • Your nose was injured and has changed shape over time
  • You experience breathing difficulties due to structural issues
  • You are in good health and have realistic expectations about your results

During your consultation, Dr. Hassouneh will carefully evaluate your facial proportions, internal nasal structure, skin thickness, and goals. He’ll also walk you through realistic outcomes and use digital imaging, when appropriate, to help you visualize what’s possible.

The Rhinoplasty Process What to Expect

Specialized Consultation with Dr. Hassouneh

Your journey begins with an in-depth evaluation by our facial plastic surgeon, which includes a review of your goals, history, and nasal structure.

Customized Surgical Planning

We create a detailed surgical plan based on your facial anatomy and aesthetic preferences. We’ll also address any functional concerns.

Surgery at Our State-of-the-Art Facility:

Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia in our fully equipped Toronto surgical centre. Depending on the technique, the incisions may be internal or external.

Immediate Post-Procedure Care

After surgery, you’ll be monitored on-site and sent home with instructions for icing, rest, and managing swelling in the first week.

Rhinoplasty Recovery & Results

Recovery from rhinoplasty involves 7–10 days of initial downtime, with a splint typically worn for the first week. Bruising and swelling around the eyes and nose peak around day 3–4 and improve significantly after the first week.

Most patients return to work or social activities within 10–14 days, though subtle swelling can take several months to resolve fully. Final results are typically seen between 6 and 12 months, especially for tip refinement. Results are long-lasting and continue to evolve naturally with your face over time.

Rhinoplasty FAQ

What’s the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?

Open rhinoplasty uses a small incision at the base of the nose for more visibility and control, while closed rhinoplasty places all incisions inside the nostrils. The best technique depends on your anatomy and goals.

How long does swelling last after surgery?

Major swelling resolves within 2–3 weeks, but residual tip swelling may take up to a year to fully refine.

Will my results look natural?

Yes. Dr. Hassouneh specializes in natural-looking outcomes that fit your face, not obvious changes or exaggerated features.

Is rhinoplasty painful?

Most patients report mild discomfort or pressure rather than pain. Prescription medication is provided for the first few days.

Can rhinoplasty fix breathing issues, too?

Yes. Functional concerns like a deviated septum or valve collapse can be addressed during the same surgery.
