Rhinoplasty General Information

Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

Dr. Robert A. Mounsey has developed a premier rhinoplasty practice located in Toronto serving an International clientele.   Dr. Mounsey specializes in Toronto Rhinoplasty.  Over the years he has built a reputation for rhinoplasty surgery founded on the principles of natural results and  specially  designing the surgery to complement your facial features.  Whether British, European, African, Asian, Middle Eastern, South Asian,  the techniques used and surgical plan are devised to optimize your result.    Revesse has become the rhinoplasty destination. If you feel that your nose would look better if it were smaller or larger, or if it had a more streamlined tip or bridge or differently sized or shaped nostrils, then you probably have already considered what you might look like after rhinoplasty. Using the Canfield Medical Imaging system, Dr. Robert A. Mounsey can help you envision your results and learn more about the nose surgery procedure at Revesse near Toronto, North York, Mississauga and Brampton. Although Dr. Mounsey customizes this procedure to the unique needs of each patient, it is always performed using one of two basic techniques: open or closed. In an open rhinoplasty, Dr. Mounsey makes an incision across the columella, the strip of skin that separates the two nostrils. Dr. Mounsey can then easily access and manipulate nose tissue and bone for an optimal aesthetic result. In a closed rhinoplasty, Dr. Mounsey makes the incisions inside the nostrils. For people of color who would like to correct aesthetic issues with their noses without compromising their ethnic identity, Dr. Mounsey offers specific solutions based on their ethnic origins.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

When performing rhinoplasty surgery it is important for the surgeon to have an extensive knowledge of the type of procedure which will give you the most pleasing esthetic result.  This must take into account your skin color, skin thickness, bone structure and underlying tissue.  With the international clientele Dr. Mounsey sees from diverse backgrounds in his practice, the surgeon can develop a surgical plan to give you the results you desire.  Patients of British, European, African, Hispanic, South Asian, and Middle Eastern backgrounds visit the practice to make sure the results are natural.  For example, a patient of British descent may have very thin skin and prominent cartilages. If the surgeon is not very aware of this, unsightly results or permanent deformity of the skin may develop. Dr. Mounsey devises a surgical plan with these factors in mind for the best chance at a successful, natural result.  In patients of African descent the nasal bridge may be low and the tip more generous in proportion. Dr. Mounsey can devise a surgical plan to create the balance, and proportion of the nose that the patient desires. Balance, Proportion, and Harmony are the keys to rhinoplasty surgery in Toronto. Dr. Mounsey brings an artistic skill to make sure each patient can achieve the esthetic result they desire.

Revision Rhinoplasty

If you are dissatisfied with the results of a previous rhinoplasty, Dr. Mounsey can reconstruct your nose to restore a natural look. Dr. Mounsey performs only facial plastic surgery procedures and is extremely experienced in performing first-time rhinoplasty surgeries as well as correcting the work of other surgeons. Because every revision rhinoplasty is different, the reconstruction process and recovery time are unique to each patient.

Complex Nasal Reconstruction

Craniofacial disorders and cleft lip and palate can lead to nasal deformities that can be corrected by a talented surgeon. Dr. Mounsey has more than 15 years of experience performing cosmetic and reconstructive facial plastic surgery. Teens and adults with small or underdeveloped noses, cleft noses, or asymmetrical noses can have these issues corrected with nose surgery at Revesse.

External Approach Septorhinoplasty vs. Internal Approach Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is always performed using one of two basic techniques: an external (open) approach or an internal (closed) approach. With the external approach, a small incision is made on the columella, or the column of skin between the nostrils on the underside of the nose. With the internal approach, all incisions are confined to the inside of the nose.
