Most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days, with full healing taking several months.
Dr. Rotenberg uses advanced, minimally visible incision techniques — typically placed inside the nose or along natural contours.
Yes. Functional rhinoplasty can correct internal obstructions and structural issues to improve airflow.
Discomfort is mild and manageable with medication. Most patients describe pressure rather than pain.
Cosmetic rhinoplasty procedures are not covered by insurance plans in Canada, and are not covered by OHIP.
As with any cosmetic or medical procedure, there are a few small potential risks that are associated with rhinoplasty. Dr. Rotenberg will take the time to assess your nose during the initial consultation and explain these potential risks to you. Here is a list of some of the side effects you may encounter during the recovery period:
The legal age to get a nose job in Canada can be as young as 14 or 15. However, there are a lot of individual ethical and physical factors that need to be taken into consideration. Clients under the age of 18 require parental consent if they’re undergoing a strictly cosmetic procedure.
It is necessary to undergo a comprehensive preliminary assessment to ensure the emotional and intellectual maturity of the patient. We also need to perform an assessment on the client’s nose to ensure that it’s fully grown before undertaking the procedure. If the patient’s nose is still in the growing and development phase, then the procedure will eventually be rendered a moot point.
At that age, gender is also a major qualifier. Facial features in young girls can be fully developed as early as 15 or 16 years of age, while teenage boys may have to wait until at least 17 or 18 to get a cosmetic rhinoplasty. There’s no maximum age requirement.
Following your preliminary assessment, Dr. Rotenberg will provide you with a complete list of instructions to help you prepare for nose surgery. Here are a few things you should do to prepare ahead of time:
In some cases, septoplasty surgery (correcting a deviated septum) can reduce snoring, but is unlikely to stop it altogether. Dr. Rotenberg does surgery specific for snoring as well (see www.sleepsurgeon.ca) and can discuss this with you during your consultation.
Rhinoplasty is permanent in the sense that as long as your facial features are fully developed, then your nose won’t change shape on its own. That being said, the nose and skin will continue to change over time as you age, and so sometimes a revision rhinoplasty is desired years after the original surgery. If you’re considering facial surgery, for functional or cosmetic reasons, London, Ontario’s Dr. Brian Rotenberg has the skills, experience and reputation to successfully complete the procedure. A nose job is more common than you may think and the end result can produce satisfaction and confidence.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty typically lasts 6–8 months, depending on metabolism and the filler used. A second filler placement is often needed to refine the result. Dr. Rotenberg uses Revanesse Filler, a fully Canadian product.
It’s ideal for small cosmetic refinements, but structural issues or breathing problems require surgery.
