What Every Procedure Has in Common
- Consultation: a full nasal exam inside and out, standardized photos, often 3D imaging, and a written quote
- Setting: a CPSBC-accredited surgical facility or a hospital such as Vancouver General Hospital or St. Paul’s Hospital
- Credentials: your surgeon should be registered with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia and certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in Plastic Surgery or Otolaryngology
- Coverage: MSP does not pay for cosmetic work, but may cover documented functional or post-trauma surgery
Surgical recovery follows a similar rhythm across procedures: splint off at 5 to 8 days, back to desk work in 1 to 2 weeks, full exercise at 6 to 8 weeks, and final tip definition at 12 to 18 months.
Not Sure Which Procedure You Need?
Most patients arrive with a concern, not a technique in mind, and that’s exactly right. Book a consultation at our Vancouver clinic and we’ll examine your nose, listen to your goals, and recommend the specific procedure, or combination, that actually fits your anatomy.
