Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty in Edmonton
The Lucere Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose, enhancing its appearance and function. This surgery can redefine and harmonize your nose’s contours, ensuring they complement your overall facial aesthetics. Significantly, the nose serves as the most defining feature of the face. Thus, even minor alterations can greatly enhance a person’s appearance and boost self-confidence.
Commonly known as a “nose job,” Rhinoplasty requires a sophisticated surgical technique. Its aim is to reshape the nose, achieving a more refined and balanced look. Through nose augmentation, our surgeons can effectively change the shape, size, and symmetry of the nose. Such changes can transform the definition of the entire face, even with simple alterations.
At Lucere Surgery & Vein Centre, we understand that every face is unique. Our dedicated team of experts is committed to providing personalized care, ensuring that the outcomes not only meet but exceed your expectations. We utilize the latest techniques and technologies to achieve results that are both aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Lucere Rhinoplasty work?
Lucere Rhinoplasty always takes place under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Consequently, you will be able to return home on the same day after your nose augmentation. However, it’s important to arrange suitable transportation since you won’t be able to drive yourself.
The duration of Rhinoplasty typically ranges between 3 and 8 hours. This variation depends on the nature and complexity of the procedure. Specifically, closed rhinoplasty involves incisions within the nostrils. In contrast, surgeons perform open rhinoplasty through incisions across the columella, the tissue strip separating the nostrils.
During the procedure, the surgeon gains access to the nose’s interior structure. They then can modify the bones and cartilage in various ways. These adjustments can change the shape, size, and symmetry of the nose. Such changes aim to complement the appearance and contours of the rest of the face, often resulting in a significant enhancement of both your look and confidence.
Before any aesthetic rhinoplasty procedure, an extensive consultation with our team of surgeons is essential. This consultation will cover your eligibility for nose surgery and all associated risks.
Can I achieve the same results with a Lucere non-surgical nose job?
We recommend booking a consultation at your convenience to decide what procedure best suits you. For example, our Lucere Non-surgical Nose Job is a popular alternative to surgical rhinoplasty, involving the precision injection of advanced fillers to correct smaller imperfections.
But as the results of a Lucere Non-surgical Nose Job are temporary, a surgical nose job could be the better option where a permanent solution to more significant problems is preferred.
Is the Lucere Rhinoplasty painful?
During the procedure, you will be placed under general anesthesia, and therefore will feel no pain. After the procedure, you may experience some residual bruising and/or swelling, along with mild pain and discomfort for a few days/weeks.
Your surgeon will advise on appropriate pain relief medication as part of your detailed aftercare plan to minimize downtime.
Can I combine a Lucere Rhinoplasty with other procedures?
Depending on your requirements and suitability for procedure, you may be able to combine your rhinoplasty procedure with other complementary surgical and non-surgical treatments for an even more dramatic effect.
Examples of these include a Lucere Neck Lift, Fat Grafting, Fillers, Anti-Wrinkle Treatments, and a variety of Laser Treatments.
Our expert team are experienced in creating comprehensive treatment plans that may include a combination of procedures and treatments to address different aesthetic concerns and achieve the desired overall results. Consult with your surgical team to determine the best procedures and treatments to meet your goals.
How do I know I’m a good candidate for Lucere’s Rhinoplasty?
During a personalized consultation with our surgical team, various factors such as overall health, facial structure, and aesthetic goals will be assessed to determine if the procedure is suitable for you. Our goal is to provide individualized surgical plans that align with your unique needs, ensuring a safe and successful outcome.
Is rhinoplasty procedure coved by insurance in Canada?
Most insurance plans in Canada do not cover cosmetic rhinoplasty procedures.
How much does the Lucere Rhinoplasty cost?
