Rhinoplasty

At the Plastic Surgery Clinic in Mississauga, Ontario, rhinoplasty is a highly individualized procedure. Dr. Lista aims to improve the nose without changing it completely, maintaining features that reflect the patient's unique characteristics and ethnic background.

DR. FRANK LISTA: Well Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging operations in plastic surgery. You know Rhinoplasty really got started in the 60’s and 70’s and at that time plastic surgeons were just taking everything away and giving everyone a cut little button up turned up nose. You could walk into a restaurant and pick out all the Rhinoplasty just by pointing them out because they all looked the same. The key now is to keep the natural characteristic of the nose so an Italian person should stay looking Italian, an Asian should stay looking Asian and an Indian should stay looking Indian. But what you are trying to do is keep the nose looking the same but just without the bump or without the round tip and so the challenge is to maintain the characteristic of the person and their ethnic background. Improve the nose but not change it completely.
