Is a Rhinoplasty Painful?

During your rhinoplasty surgery, you will be administered general anesthesia so you will be pain-free. Post-surgery, you will be prescribed pain medication to help with any discomfort during recovery.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

We will typically have you return a week after surgery to remove any bandages, nasal splints, or stitches. We will then have you return a few more times over the next few months. Most patients can expect between three and four check-up appointments in total.

How Long Until I See Results?

It takes about two to three weeks for most of the swelling to subside from a rhinoplasty so you can enjoy your new nasal structure. A lot of the minimal residual swelling will persist for several months, so patients will continue to notice an improvement in their nasal contour and air passage over the first three to six months, with final results taking a year to show.

What Will the Scarring Look Like?

Rhinoplasty scarring is usually invisible if it is a closed rhinoplasty. In an open rhinoplasty as well, a highly skilled surgeon will hide the incision so well that the scar is barely noticeable, perhaps only if someone looks at your nose from right underneath and knows where to look.

When Can I Exercise Again After My Rhinoplasty?

We recommend complete rest (gentle walking is OK) for the first week. Strenuous exercise cannot be resumed until four to six weeks after surgery and only after your surgeon approves it.

Can I Combine a Rhinoplasty with Other Procedures?

Yes, indeed! Many of our patients who get a rhinoplasty in Toronto, ON, will combine other facial rejuvenation procedures such as a brow lift, chin implant, or neck lift. We recommend that you share these plans with your surgeon during your initial consultation so that he can provide his expert suggestions for the most optimum combined procedures for your individual case.

What Are the Risks Associated with a Rhinoplasty?

A rhinoplasty is a surgery, and therefore, it carries certain risks. Some of them are outlined below: Bleeding Infection Numbness Poor wound healing or scarring Skin discoloration and swelling Possibility of a revision rhinoplasty If you do have any long-lasting or unexpected side effects during your recovery, please contact us immediately.

How Do I Find the Best Toronto Rhinoplasty Plastic Surgeon Near Me?

We recommend that you search patient reviews for plastic surgeons in Toronto who have performed rhinoplasty procedures and schedule consultations to determine how comfortable you feel before scheduling surgery. If you can access past patients, it would also be advisable to talk to them to learn about their experience. In addition, it is helpful to see the surgeon’s qualifications and experience in the relevant surgery.

What is a Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that can address many aesthetic defects of the nose, such as length, prominence, projection, and width. Many of our Toronto patients have found that even the slightest alterations can create dramatic effects. A well-performed rhinoplasty can create a delicate balance of your facial features for true facial harmony.

Our team of surgeons at Edelstein Cosmetic aims to preserve the unique qualities of your nose, which are determined by such factors as your genetics, ethnicity, and gender.

Types of Rhinoplasty

Edelstein Cosmetic offers our Toronto patients a variety of nose surgery techniques depending on their individual aesthetic and functional needs. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss all of your goals to determine the best approach to improving your nasal appearance.

Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

A cosmetic rhinoplasty targets the shape and size of the nose purely for aesthetic purposes. It is one of the most common surgical procedures for men and women who want to improve their facial appearance.

Functional Rhinoplasty

Functional rhinoplasty is reconstructive surgery aimed at alleviating breathing issues caused by a structural challenge in the nasal cavity. For instance, a deviated septum is a common cause of turbulent airflow and necessitates a functional rhinoplasty, which is often combined with a cosmetic rhinoplasty.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is a surgery done to correct a previous rhinoplasty due to patient dissatisfaction or issues caused by the original surgery. This can be tedious due to potentially compromised and fragile nasal elements from the previous surgery.

Alarplasty

Alarplasty is a cosmetic procedure that refines the shape and size of the nostrils to enhance facial harmony. This minimally invasive surgery involves making small incisions at the base of the nostrils to remove excess skin and cartilage, resulting in a more sculpted and balanced appearance.

The procedure can be tailored to each individual’s facial features, allowing for a personalized outcome that complements your overall look. Whether performed alone or in combination with rhinoplasty, this procedure can significantly boost your confidence and facial aesthetics.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty is a surgery performed to target specific ethnic nasal features and alter them to an aesthetic that honors the patient’s heritage, not hide it. The most common ethnic rhinoplasties are with Asian and Black patients, as their unique nasal characteristics require a tailored approach.

This procedure focuses on enhancing features such as bridge height, tip shape, and nostril width while maintaining the individual’s cultural identity. Skilled surgeons understand the nuances of each ethnic background, ensuring that results appear natural and balanced with the overall facial structure. Ethnic rhinoplasty aims to improve both appearance and functionality, enhancing confidence while respecting the beauty of diversity.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty, or liquid rhinoplasty, alters the nose’s shape and size using injectable fillers. This is actually risky. Unlike other areas that are treated with injectable fillers, nasal injections carry a particularly high risk due to the blood vessels nearby that feed into your eyes. Injection into one of these vessels can lead to blindness. Since this is the only anatomical location that carries such a high risk, this is the one type of injection we do not perform. Edelstein Cosmetic is focused on your safety above all else. We won’t risk your health or your pocketbook if there is a better and safer alternative to giving you the look you want.

What Are The Benefits Of A Rhinoplasty?

Our patients who have received a rhinoplasty in Toronto have shared many benefits, as outlined below:

Altered nasal size and shape
Straightened a crooked nose
Removed a nasal bridge hump
Fixed a deviated septum
Refined the tip or fixed a drooping tip
Better shaped nostrils

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Rhinoplasty Procedure?

The best candidates for a Toronto rhinoplasty are patients with the following conditions:

Unhappy with nasal size and/or shape
Fully formed facial features (generally, females at age 16, males at 17)
Healthy
Have realistic expectations

Let’s get started

What’s the first step?

The first step towards getting a rhinoplasty in Toronto, ON, is to schedule a consultation with one of our Board-certified plastic surgeons. During this appointment, Dr. Fialkov or Dr. Hong will ask about your medical history, aesthetic goals, concerns, and expectations. They will examine your nasal elements and go over the various techniques, including whether you need an open or closed rhinoplasty, advising which he thinks is most suitable for your case.

Once you both have finalized the treatment plan, our patient coordinator will help you schedule your surgery and discuss any pricing options and pre-operative instructions you need to follow for optimum surgery success and recovery.

What to Expect On the Day of Rhinoplasty Surgery

On the day of your Rhinoplasty procedure, your surgeon and his staff will welcome you. Your treatment plan will be presented to you again for any last-minute questions and/or concerns. Our anesthetist will then administer anesthesia to ensure you are pain-free during the procedure.

The rhinoplasty procedure will then be performed. Depending on what has been discussed, this may be an open procedure, in which he will make incisions on the columella (the little skin bridge that separates your nostrils) and inside the nostrils, or a closed procedure, in which the incisions will be hidden inside your nose. A splint may be used to support and maintain your nose’s new shape.

The surgery can take anywhere between one and three hours, depending on how complex it is.

Rhinoplasty Recovery

After the surgery, you will be monitored in our recovery room by our postoperative team until your sedation wears off. Once discharged, you will need to have a family member or friend available to drive you home and potentially stay with you that night for assistance as you recover.

You can expect to have minor bruising, swelling, and pain, along with temporary blocked nasal passages. This will all subside over the next two weeks, and you can return to normal activities by week three. We recommend avoiding strenuous activity for four to six weeks after surgery. After eight weeks, the nasal bones and cartilage will have knitted together, and you can finally return to unrestricted activities.

It takes about a year for your nose to settle into its final contour as minor residual swelling resolves and the skin envelope continues to contract.

Rhinoplasty Cost

How Much Does a Rhinoplasty Cost in Toronto, ON?

The cost of rhinoplasty in Toronto, ON, will vary depending on many factors, including the complexity of the surgery and the surgeon’s fees. The best way to determine the cost of your surgery is to schedule a consultation with us so that we can create a treatment plan for you that our patient coordinator can price out.
