Rhinoplasty / Nose Job
Before & After Photos
What Is Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)?
Rhinoplasty can be performed as an open or closed procedure, depending on the complexity of the case and the desired changes. It may also be combined with septoplasty (to correct internal breathing issues) or revision rhinoplasty (to improve the results of a previous nose surgery).
What Imperfections Does Rhinoplasty Surgery Address?
- Enhances overall facial balance and harmony by reshaping the nose
- Refines the nose’s size, shape, or angle for a more aesthetically pleasing profile
- Corrects a deviated septum or structural defects to improve breathing
- Repairs damage caused by injury, trauma, or prior surgeries
- Reduces nasal asymmetry or bulbous, droopy, or upturned nasal tips
- Narrows wide nostrils or refines bumps or humps on the nasal bridge
Additional Benefits of Rhinoplasty Surgery
- Boosts self-confidence and self-image by aligning appearance with personal preferences
- Can be customized for both cosmetic and functional goals in one procedure
- Permanent results with long-lasting improvement in both form and function
- Performed by top Toronto rhinoplasty surgeons for safe, precise, and natural-looking outcomes
Candidates for Rhinoplasty in Toronto
Most patients who consider rhinoplasty in Toronto feel like their nose does not suit the rest of their facial features. As a result, they wish to change the size, shape, or projection of their nose – whether it involves removing a bridge hump, slimming down a bulbous tip, or correcting asymmetry issues.
You may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty surgery in Toronto if:
- you are in good overall health and do not have any medical conditions that could impair healing
- your facial growth is complete (typically age 16+ for girls and 17+ for boys)
- you are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- you have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery
- you feel self-conscious or unhappy with the appearance of your nose and wish to enhance facial harmony
- you experience breathing difficulties due to structural issues like a deviated septum
- you are a non-smoker or are willing to quit before and after the procedure to support proper healing
Your Initial Consultation: Is Rhinoplasty Surgery Right for You?
Changing the shape of your nose is a big deal. That’s why we always invite our rhinoplasty patients for a thorough initial consultation. During this initial assessment, your rhinoplasty surgeon will take a close look at your nose, review your medical history, and discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns. Based on this information, the surgeon will determine whether you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty and discuss all the treatment options in detail.
Types of Rhinoplasty Surgery in Toronto
Cosmetic vs. Functional Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is typically done for purely cosmetic reasons – to improve the appearance of the nose. However, if you are experiencing breathing problems or trauma-related structural changes to your nose, cosmetic surgery can be combined with functional improvements.
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
A cosmetic rhinoplasty is performed for cosmetic reasons – to alter the shape, size, or projection of the nose or nostrils. After a purely cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery in Toronto, your breathing and nose function should not be affected.
Functional Rhinoplasty or Septorhinoplasty
A functional rhinoplasty may be performed to address a structural issue within the nose and improve your breathing. At the Sovereign Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, we frequently perform septorhinoplasty procedures, addressing both the appearance and the function of the nose in a single surgery.
Reconstructive Rhinoplasty
Nasal trauma, congenital deformities, or previously failed surgeries may necessitate reconstructive rhinoplasty surgery. During this procedure, the surgeon may use cartilage from your nose, ear, or ribs to reconstruct the nasal structure and restore a natural-looking shape.
Primary vs. Revision Rhinoplasty
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your rhinoplasty surgery performed elsewhere, we can effectively improve the appearance and function of your nose by performing a revision rhinoplasty surgery.
Primary Rhinoplasty
Primary rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that is performed on a patient’s nose for the first time. Primary rhinoplasty is usually less complex than subsequent surgeries, as the surgeon does not need to address existing scar tissue or excessively removed tissues.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is a more complex procedure performed to address compromised structures or unsatisfactory aesthetics after a previous rhinoplasty surgery. Revision rhinoplasty often requires cartilage grafts from the nose, ear, or the patient’s ribs.
Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty surgeries can also be classified by the surgical technique and the location of incisions within the patient’s nose.
Open Rhinoplasty Toronto
Open rhinoplasty is the traditional way of performing a nose job. The open procedure involves making an incision across the columella – the tissue between your nostrils. Many patients are concerned about the possibility of scarring with this technique, but there is nothing to worry about. The rhinoplasty surgeon will carefully position the incision to ensure that it is virtually invisible once your nose is fully healed.
With the open technique, the plastic surgeon has more control over the procedure and results. As such, open rhinoplasty in Toronto is typically performed on patients looking for more extensive corrections, especially changing the shape of the nasal tip.
Closed Rhinoplasty Toronto
With a closed or “scarless” rhinoplasty in Toronto, incisions are hidden within the nostrils, leaving no scars outside the nose. Closed rhinoplasty may not be suitable for extensive corrections to the nasal bridge or the tip of the nose, so your plastic surgeon will need to evaluate your nose carefully to determine whether closed rhinoplasty would be appropriate for your aesthetic goals.
Preservation Rhinoplasty Toronto
Preservation rhinoplasty is a novel surgical technique offered by select nose surgeons in Toronto. The technique emphasizes preserving the existing nose structure as much as possible. For example, instead of removing parts of the nose’s structure to correct the dorsal hump, the surgeon may reposition or reshape the cartilage and secure it with sutures. Preservation rhinoplasty can be performed with open or closed rhinoplasty techniques.
Non-Surgical Nose Job Toronto
Patients who are looking for only minor changes to their nose shape may benefit from a non-surgical nose job in Toronto. Non-surgical rhinoplasty involves the use of dermal fillers to visually smooth a minor hump, lift the nose tip, or fill in the depressions in the cartilage.

What Is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?
At the Sovereign Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, we frequently see patients looking to alter the ethnic shape of their noses. When performed by a skilled surgeon, ethnic rhinoplasty involves subtle changes in the nose shape to create a more balanced appearance while enhancing other ethnic features of the patient.
Persian Rhinoplasty Toronto
Many Persian patients in Toronto choose our clinic to refine a prominent nasal bridge, reduce nose size, or lift a drooping tip. Persian rhinoplasty often involves addressing thicker skin and strong nasal features, requiring a skilled approach to preserve ethnic identity while enhancing facial balance.
Asian Rhinoplasty Toronto
Asian rhinoplasty in Toronto is ideal for patients looking to define the nasal tip, raise a low bridge, or narrow wide nostrils. Asian noses typically have flatter bridges and softer cartilage, which require specialized techniques like cartilage grafting or implants.
African-American Rhinoplasty
African-American rhinoplasty in Toronto is done to refine the nose’s proportions and balance, while still maintaining the distinct characteristics of African-American noses, such as flatter bridges or a broader structure.

Rhinoplasty Surgery Procedure: What to Expect
Step 1: Preparing for Surgery
To ensure the success of the surgery and make your future recovery easier, you should start preparing for your nose job a few weeks in advance. Take special care of your body – don’t smoke, don’t drink, drink plenty of water, and focus on eating a healthy diet.
Step 2: Anesthesia
Rhinoplasty surgery is typically done under general anesthesia. When you arrive at our clinic on the day of the surgery, you’ll be greeted by our medical team and prepped for the procedure. Your anesthesiologist will review your medical history, explain the process, and administer the anesthesia to ensure that you remain fully asleep and comfortable throughout the surgery.
Step 3: Rhinoplasty Surgery
Luckily, you will be under general anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain or remember the procedure once it’s complete. The exact surgical procedure is tailored to each patient’s anatomy and goal and may involve cartilage grafts, bone and cartilage reshaping, and other techniques to achieve your desired aesthetics.
Step 4: Going Home
Once the surgery is completed, you will be transferred to a recovery room until the effects of anesthesia wear off. You will be able to go home on the same day, but you will need to arrange for a friend or a family member to pick you up, as you will be in no condition to drive. We also recommend having someone stay with you at home for at least the first day to assist you with daily tasks while you recover.
Rhinoplasty Recovery Timeline
Day of Your Nose Job
When you get home after your rhinoplasty surgery, you will need to rest and recover for the rest of the day. Sleeping with your head elevated or resting in a reclining chair is the best option to minimize swelling. At this point, you will have a nose “splint” in your nose, and your face may look swollen and bruised – this is completely normal.
1 Week After Rhinoplasty
After about three days of the surgery, swelling will begin to slowly subside, and you will feel better. At the one-week mark, you will experience less congestion, and you will be able to remove the nose splint. Some patients even feel comfortable enough to return to work at this point.
2 Weeks After Rhinoplasty
Most of the congestion and swelling will be resolved by the end of week two. There may be some lingering swelling and bruising left, but most patients are ready to return to work and resume light exercise at this time.
3 Months After Rhinoplasty
After three months, you will be able to fully resume your exercise regime, including contact sports and strenuous workouts. Your nose will still be slightly swollen, continuing to take its final shape over the following months.
1 Year After Rhinoplasty
After one year, your final nose shape should be stable and balanced. If you’ve had an open rhinoplasty, your incision site would have also faded to become nearly invisible.
What Are the Risks of Rhinoplasty?
Just like any other surgical procedure, rhinoplasty carries certain risks, including:
- Infections
- Bad reaction to anesthesia
- Poor scarring
- Breathing difficulties
- Poor aesthetic outcomes
Working with an experienced facial plastic surgeon certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada will minimize the risks and ensure a beautiful outcome of your rhinoplasty surgery.
How Much Does Rhinoplasty Cost in Toronto?
Rhinoplasty price in Toronto ranges from $12,000 to $25,000, depending on the patient’s facial anatomy and desired outcomes. For instance, the nose lift cost will be different than the cost of nose reduction.
- Cosmetic rhinoplasty is the most common nose surgery, which will cost you between $18,000 and $20,000.
- Nose tip refinement is a less invasive cosmetic surgery, with prices ranging from $12,000 to $15,000.
- Septorhinoplasty is a more complex procedure, with the typical cost starting at $20,000. The good news is that septorhinoplasty may be partially covered by OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan).
- Revision rhinoplasty often involves a complex surgery, with prices from $20,000 to $25,000.
- Non-surgical nose job with dermal fillers is the most affordable option, with prices ranging from $1,200 to $2,500. Note that non-surgical rhinoplasty can provide only temporary, minor cosmetic changes.
The rhinoplasty cost in Toronto covers the surgery itself, anesthesia, surgery prep, and any follow-up appointments until full recovery.
Is Rhinoplasty Covered by OHIP?
Cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery is not covered by OHIP. However, if you are undergoing septorhinoplasty (septoplasty + rhinoplasty) to address breathing issues, the surgery may be partially covered by OHIP.
Combining Rhinoplasty with Other Procedures
At the Sovereign Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, we frequently combine rhinoplasty with other procedures to achieve a complete facial transformation and harmonious results. For example, chin augmentation can be paired with a nose job to balance facial proportions, while blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can enhance the overall aesthetic of the upper face. Some patients also choose facial fat grafting or facelift surgery alongside rhinoplasty to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. By addressing multiple concerns in a single surgical session, patients can minimize downtime and optimize their final results.
Why Choose a Facial Plastic Surgeon for Rhinoplasty
When searching for nose surgeons in Toronto or the best rhinoplasty surgeon Toronto has to offer, choosing a facial plastic surgeon can make all the difference in your results. While general plastic surgeons may perform procedures across the entire body, facial plastic surgeons specialize exclusively in the anatomy, aesthetics, and function of the face and neck, which gives them specialized experience and advanced insight into the complex structures of the nose.
How to Find the Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon in Toronto?
To ensure that you are fully satisfied with the outcome of your nose job, it is critical to choose the right rhinoplasty surgeon in Toronto.
- Education: Look for a facial plastic surgeon with specialized education and training in nose surgery.
- Experience: Make sure that your Toronto rhinoplasty surgeon has performed numerous nose revision surgeries, with an extensive nose job before-and-after gallery.
- Take a look at your surgeon’s rhinoplasty Toronto reviews and real results to make sure that the surgeon’s aesthetic vision aligns with yours.
- The surgeon must be certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
