As the most prominent feature on the face, second only to the eyes, the nose is the first thing people notice when meeting one another. Men and women often opt to undergo cosmetic plastic surgery procedures to alter the size and/or shape of their nose. Whether you are looking to alter the aesthetic appearance, treat the defects of an injury, or achieve better breathing, William G. Middleton, B.Sc., M.D., F.R.C.S. can perform nose surgery. At Middleton Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Toronto, rhinoplasty candidates can anticipate natural-looking results and a rewarding experience.
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose, you are not alone. Rhinoplasty offers a solution as this surgical procedure involves reshaping the nose into a more aesthetically pleasing shape. When meeting with our rhinoplasty doctor, Oshawa rhinoplasty patients have the opportunity to discuss certain problem area(s), such as bumps/raises on the bridge, the size of the tip and/or nostrils, the angle of the tip, and possible risks and complications. Also, if you have experienced an injury or undergone a previous nasal surgery that produced unsatisfying results, Dr. Middleton can perform nose reconstruction ("rhinoplasty revision").
Your nose job procedure will be performed on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia. In order to provide minimal scarring, Dr. Middleton typically makes incisions inside the nose ("closed rhinoplasty"). He can sculpt the skin, tissues, and underlying bone and cartilage to your desired new shape.
Rhinoplasty can be performed for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons. While many people undergo rhinoplasty to enhance their nasal appearance, some choose this procedure to correct alterations that have been made to the nose as a result of injury or birth defect. Rhinoplasty can even help improve one's breathing. When performed to correct breathing problems, it may be covered by health insurance.
After your procedure, you will be required to wear a splint for about week and stitches are removed in about 10 to 12 days. Be sure to refrain from any strenuous activities for several weeks in order to ensure proper healing.
Additionally, if you would like to achieve additional facial enhancement, you may wish to undergo facelift surgery ("rhytidectomy"). Fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging jowls can be enhanced with this procedure. Dr. Middleton can lift the hanging skin to a more youthful position and tighten the underlying facial muscles to produce a refreshed appearance.
We invite you to view rhinoplasty before and after photos; further samples may also be requested during an initial consultation at Middleton Cosmetic Surgery Clinic.
