Rhinoplasty
Your nose sits at the centre of your face — and when it bothers you, it's hard to think about anything else. Rhinoplasty is one of the most transformative procedures in facial aesthetics, capable of refining the size, shape, and proportion of the nose with remarkable precision.
Book a ConsultationWhat is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty — commonly called a "nose job" — is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose by modifying the bone, cartilage, and soft tissue. It can address both cosmetic concerns and functional issues such as breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum (septorhinoplasty).
Results are permanent and, when performed by an experienced surgeon, look entirely natural — enhancing your features rather than replacing them.
What Can It Treat?
- A visible hump or bump along the bridge
- A drooping, bulbous, or upturned nasal tip
- Nostrils that are wide, flared, or asymmetrical
- A crooked or off-centre nose
- Breathing difficulties related to a deviated septum
What to Expect
Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. We'll discuss your goals, review your medical history, and use imaging to explore possible outcomes. There's no pressure — we want you to feel completely informed and comfortable before making any decisions.
The Procedure
Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anaesthetic and is most often carried out as a day procedure, meaning you go home the same day.
Recovery
You'll wear a small splint on your nose for approximately one week. Initial swelling and bruising — particularly around the eyes — is normal and begins to settle within two to three weeks. Most patients feel ready to return to work and social activities within ten to fourteen days. Final results, including resolution of deeper swelling, develop gradually over twelve months.
Is It Right for Me?
Rhinoplasty is suitable for adults in good general health who have realistic expectations and a clear, personal motivation for the procedure. We do not perform rhinoplasty on patients under 18, as facial development must be complete before surgery.
During your consultation, we'll help you determine whether surgery is the right route — or whether a non-surgical option such as a filler nose reshaping treatment may be more appropriate for your goals.

Therapeutic Botox
Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators used therapeutically to relieve discomfort by blocking the nerve signal causing muscle contraction. These treatments alleviate tension, spasms, and medical concerns, such as headache, migraine, TMJ, jaw clenching/grinding, and chronic facial twitch.
I fully trust Deanne with my face. I was nervous to start with injectables, but I really wasn't happy with my deep crows feet, and Deanne made the experience so comfortable. I love that her dosing of units is evidence based. She landmarks anatomy every single time to make sure the injection sites are spot on, and I have been thrilled with the results. Her entire process is very professional. Even though I now live two provinces away, I travel back for Dysport so that Deanne can be the one to do it. The best!
Let me start by saying how kind, passionate and intelligent Deanne is working in her field. She truly is so thorough and made me feel so comfortable through my entire Dysport and Botox session. Her knowledge of facial anatomy is top notch and it shows as her work and results are meticulous. I've gone to other injectors in the past and Deanne's work has surpassed my previous results, not only for a beautiful natural look but also longevity of my results. She is the only one who I trust my injections to. I also get my ZO skincare from her and she is so knowledgeable on each product whenever I have questions. I trust Deanne for all my cosmetic injections and skincare needs.
I highly recommend Deanne and her amazing work. She thoughtfully guided me through the process and explained how each Dysport and Botox placement was made to safely ensure a fantastic result. I feel so much more confident and comfortable in my skin now!
I've met with both Deanne Pilsner RN, and Dr. Jon Dautremont over the past year for several Botox treatments. Their combined knowledge and expertise have given me the confidence I expected from a healthcare professional to administer this type of facial rejuvenation. They both genuinely care about their work and their patients' experience. I also have complete confidence in Deanne's technique, and I appreciate her attention to detail and would highly recommend her services to anyone considering this type of treatment.
