If you’re considering rhinoplasty, and you’re looking for a good, experienced, reputable surgeon with integrity for your aesthetic plastic surgery of the nose, your approach needs to be based on the following seven steps:
1 – Choose one or two surgeons, after doing an Internet search, or after collecting references from friends or acquaintances who have had this surgery.
2 – Check the surgeon’s reputation (this is the most important point). Ask your friends, relatives or colleagues if they recognize the name, and if they’ve ever heard of him or her.
3 – Check the surgeon’s CV. What are his or her scientific publications and academic titles? Does he or she give presentations at medical conferences on cosmetic surgery? Is he or she attached to a university?
4 -Call the clinic for information. Take note of the rapidity of the response and the friendliness of the assistant. Does she take her time to answer your questions? Is she well informed?
5 – Evaluate the clinic during your visit. Is there a warm welcome? Are the premises clean and tasteful?
6 – Assess the surgeon. Is he or she confident?Does he or she inspire confidence?Does he or she seem genuine?
7 – Assess the surgeon’s experience.Has he or she operated on a large number of cases like yours?How busy is he or she?How many years of experience?

The price of cosmetic nose surgery, or rhinoplasty, varies, ranging from approximately $10,000 to $14,000. The price depends on several factors: 1- Is the surgeon reputable? The cost is often related to the surgeon’s reputation. 2- Is the surgery difficult to perform? The specifics of the aesthetic problems presented by the nose can determine the level of surgical complexity, and therefore affect the price. 3- The anticipated duration of your surgery: This affects the cost, and fluctuates between 1.5 and 4 hours, depending on the surgeon and the approach chosen. 4- Clinic location: Rhinoplasty costs are somewhat associated with clinic location. A surgical center in the downtown core of a metropolis is necessarily a little more expensive than one located in a small municipality or in the suburbs. 5- The anesthesia technique used: This is also a factor in calculating the total billed.

Be careful. Several financing options are often available, but some are more flexible and less expensive than others. A good tip to follow is to compare all these proposals before making a choice, as well as making sure that each financing method is transparent.

If you dread having rhinoplasty surgery with all the associated risks, there may be a scalpel-free option for you! This is “medical rhinoplasty”, employing an injection of hyaluronic acid, a viscous material that gradually resorbs in a few months or up to a year. This technique is useful if there is a part of your nose that would benefit from being raised, filled or refined by this substance. Although this technique is less invasive than surgery, it is not without risks, as the nose is a highly vascularized anatomical region of the face. A misplaced injection can block one of the nasal vessels and have serious consequences, despite the extremely rare chances of this happening.

A good nose is a balanced nose. It’s neither prominent nor drooping, and neither too big nor too small. But above all, a beautiful nose should have a natural, non-operated look, meaning it should be almost invisible when you look at the face.

A natural-looking outcome is probably the most important point that defines the success of a well-done nose job.

The ideal goal of rhinoplasty is to produce a nose that is balanced and in harmony with the other features of the face, but above all a nose that is natural in appearance. The beauty of the nose is certainly important, but the natural appearance is more important. It’s important to understand that the size of the nose is not the only factor to consider in rhinoplasty. A nose that’s too small can look ugly. It’s the silhouette of the nose when viewed from the side, and the variations in this contour when viewed from the front, that make the nose beautiful and natural-looking. What’s more, total symmetry of the nose is never possible, as the two halves of the face are very different from each other, and this applies to the nose too.

You see and hear nothing at all during rhinoplasty.

“Rhinoplasty” cosmetic nose surgery is painless during the surgical procedure. There is very little pain or discomfort after the operation.

During rhinoplasty at our Montreal clinic, Dr. Nabil Fanous files away excess cartilage and bone, and sometimes moves the nasal bone very gently.

Dr. Nabil Fanous doesn’t use wicks in his rhinoplasties, but only gelatin, which doesn’t hurt at all and goes away on its own.
