Rhinoplasty in Ottawa
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.
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 surgery sometimes referred to as a “nose job,” is a powerful surgical technique that can help refine nasal aesthetics and, in some cases, improve the function of the nose. Dr. MacArthur is pleased to be one of the few plastic surgeons in Ottawa who offer this procedure.
Why do Patients Choose Rhinoplasty?
There are many reasons someone might be interested in undergoing a rhinoplasty or learning about the procedure. For many patients, the primary goal is aesthetic.
They may not like the appearance of their nose in profile if they feel that it is too big or have what’s known as a dorsal hump at the nasal bridge. 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. There are so many different variations in nasal anatomy amongst patients that every single treatment plan must be completely individualized for each patient.
One of the other main reasons that patients elect to undergo this procedure is to improve their breathing. Some patients are born with a deviated septum, which means that without surgery, there is less room for air to travel through the nose.
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. Another reason patients sometimes visit New Age Medical Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery is for revision surgery following a past rhinoplasty. These patients have had surgery elsewhere and may be unhappy with their results for a variety of reasons. Revision surgery can be very complex, and both the patient and their surgeon must be on the same page about the goals of treatment and what can be accomplished.
