Rhinoplasty in Ottawa by Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Your nose is one of the most defining features of your face. If too large, it can distract from other facial features and distract the eye. A well-proportioned, aesthetic nose can help achieve facial harmony and elevate your natural beauty.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries today to improve form, function, and symmetry of the nose. In some cases this cosmetic procedure can also correct a deviated septum to improve your ability to breathe. Dr. Ian MacArthur is a Top Rated, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Ottawa who can help you achieve the aesthetic results you desire.
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a "nose job," is a powerful cosmetic nose surgery technique. It helps to improve the appearance of the nose. In some cases, it can also improve its function. Dr. MacArthur is one of the few top rated plastic surgeons in Ottawa who offer this procedure.

Why is Rhinoplasty one of the most popular procedures?
Someone might be interested in undergoing a rhinoplasty for many reasons. There are many different types of rhinoplasty to consider according to the aesthetic goals you would like to achieve.
Some people are unhappy with how their nose looks from their side profile. They may also have a bump, known as a dorsal hump, on the bridge of their nose. Other patients may feel that their nasal tip is less defined than they would prefer or hangs too low. Sometimes the nose is too wide or narrow, and other times it can be deviated off to the side.
No two noses are the same. Nasal anatomy varies significantly among patients. Therefore, each surgical plan must be custom tailored to achieve optimal results.
One of the other main reasons patients undergo this procedure is to improve their breathing. Some patients are born with a deviated septum. This means, without surgery, the space for air to pass through the nose is reduced.
Other patients may have similar symptoms because of a past injury that contributes to restricting nasal airflow. Combining functional airway surgery with cosmetic work is not uncommon when performing rhinoplasty surgery.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Another reason patients sometimes visit New Age Medical Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery is for revision surgery following a past rhinoplasty. These patients have had surgery elsewhere and may be unhappy with their results for various reasons. Revision surgery can be very complex. The patient and their surgeon must be on the same page about the goals of treatment and what can be accomplished.
Reshaping The Nose Open Rhinoplasty Vs Closed Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can be divided into two main types, “open” and “closed.”
An open rhinoplasty involves a tiny external scar in the columella. The columella is the skin and cartilage that separates the nostrils. Plastic surgeons often choose to make this incision. It gives them a better view of the cartilage and bone that form the nose's framework.
A closed rhinoplasty uses only hidden incisions within the nostrils, resulting in no visible scar. During your consultation, Dr. MacArthur will advise you on what he thinks is best.
Rhinoplasty recovery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. Swelling and bruising may be expected as a normal part of the healing process.

Who is a Good Candidate For Rhinoplasty?
A good candidate for rhinoplasty is typically an individual who is unhappy with the shape, size, or angle of their nose, and is in good overall health.
How is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Rhinoplasty is performed under anesthesia. The surgeon makes incisions to access the bones and cartilage that support the nose. The bone and cartilage are then reshaped to achieve the desired result.
What is the Recovery Time After Rhinoplasty?
The recovery time varies, but most people can expect to return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks. Final results will be seen approximately one year after surgery.
What are the Non-Surgical Alternatives to Rhinoplasty?
Non-surgical alternatives include the use of dermal fillers to temporarily change the shape of the nose.
Can Rhinoplasty Change the Sound Of My Voice?
It is unlikely that rhinoplasty will change your voice unless the procedure involves significant alterations to your nasal passages.
How Can I Reduce Swelling After Rhinoplasty?
Elevation, cold compresses, and avoiding strenuous activities can help reduce swelling.
What if I'm Not Happy With My Rhinoplasty Results?
If you're not happy with your results, discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Revision rhinoplasty may be an option, but it's typically recommended to wait at least a year for full healing before considering a second surgery.
How Soon Can I Fly After My Rhinoplasty?
The exact timeline for flying after rhinoplasty can vary based on the individual and the specifics of their procedure. However, a general guideline that many surgeons follow is to wait at least a few days after surgery before flying.
The main reason for this is the changes in air pressure during flight, which can affect healing and increase swelling and discomfort. Additionally, there's a risk of nosebleeds after rhinoplasty, and changes in air pressure during flight can exacerbate this risk.
Flying soon after surgery can expose you to a higher risk of catching an infection in an environment like an airplane where you're close to many other people.
During your initial consultation this will be discussed with Dr. Ian MacArthur in detail.
Will I have scars after rhinoplasty?
In closed rhinoplasty, the incisions are hidden inside the nose, so there are no visible scars. In open rhinoplasty, a small scar may be visible on the underside of the nose, but it often fades over time.
Will rhinoplasty change my sense of smell?
Temporary changes or loss of smell can occur due to swelling, but this usually resolves as the swelling subsides.
What is ethnic rhinoplasty?
Ethnic rhinoplasty refers to procedures performed on non-Caucasian patients that respect and preserve distinct racial and ethnic features.
What should I expect during the consultation for rhinoplasty?
During the consultation, the surgeon will assess your overall health, discuss your goals and expectations, explain the procedure, risks, and recovery process, and answer any questions you may have.
Can rhinoplasty be combined with other facial surgeries?
Yes, rhinoplasty can be combined with other procedures like chin augmentation, facelift, or eyelid surgery for comprehensive facial enhancement.
When can I resume exercise after rhinoplasty?
If you're not happy with your results, discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Revision rhinoplasty may be an option, but it's typically recommended to wait at least a year for full healing before considering a second surgery.
What if I'm Not Happy With My Rhinoplasty Results?
Most surgeons recommend waiting at least 3-4 weeks before resuming strenuous physical activity.
When can I wear glasses after rhinoplasty?
You should avoid wearing glasses directly on the nose for about 4-6 weeks after surgery to avoid altering the shape of your nose while it heals.
