Mini Rhinoplasty

About Mini Rhinoplasty

A Mini Rhinoplasty, also known as a micro rhinoplasty, is a precise and minimally invasive way to refine small bumps, ridges, or imperfections on the nose. Using specialized 2mm micro rasps, Dr. Esmail carefully reshapes the nasal bones through tiny incisions that are so small they often do not require stitches. The procedure can usually be performed with local freezing and little to no sedation, offering patients a quick recovery and beautiful, natural-looking results.

Mini rhinoplasty is ideal for patients who want subtle refinements without the downtime of traditional surgery. It can also be combined with liquid rhinoplasty to further enhance facial harmony and balance. Book your consultation today to find out if mini rhinoplasty is right for you.

Timeline: From Consultation to Post-Op

  1. The Consultation

    Your mini rhinoplasty journey begins with a one-on-one consultation. During this visit, Dr. Esmail will review your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and examine your nasal structure. High-definition images and 3D VECTRA imaging may be used to precisely assess your nose and preview potential results. Together, you’ll determine if mini rhinoplasty is the best approach to achieve your desired outcome.

  2. Day of Procedure

    Mini rhinoplasty is performed under local anesthesia in our advanced treatment suite and typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Using specialized 2mm micro rasps, Dr. Esmail gently refines small bumps or irregularities through tiny incisions that often do not require stitches. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return home shortly after the procedure.

  3. Post-Op: Day 1

    You can resume most normal activities the next day. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur, but it usually subsides quickly. Over-the-counter pain relief and cold compresses can help manage any temporary discomfort.

  4. Post-Op: Week 1

    By the end of the first week, swelling continues to decrease and your results become more noticeable. While light activity is encouraged, it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for about seven days to allow proper healing.

  5. Post-Op: 1-Month

    At your one-month follow-up appointment, your results will be well defined and your nose will feel natural. Most patients are fully healed and enjoy a smoother, more balanced profile that blends seamlessly with their facial features.

Other Types of Rhinoplasty

  1. Surgical (Primary) Rhinoplasty

    If this is your first surgery, you fit under primary rhinoplasty. Depending on what is required, what type of anesthesia is chosen and if any of the procedure is covered by insurance, the price will vary.
  2. Asian (Ethnic) Rhinoplasty

    In the past ethnic rhinoplasty was done to give patients a more Western-looking nose, but today the surgery is performed in a way that enhances the appearance of the nose while maintaining ethnic features. You are able to change the way your nose looks to become more attractive according to your standards without losing any ethnic distinction.
  3. Revision Rhinoplasty

    Revision rhinoplasty is a difficult surgery to master, as it requires fixing a past rhinoplasty that didn’t go to plan. If you have previously undergone a rhinoplasty and are unhappy with your results, schedule a consult with Dr. Esmail and see how we can achieve your goals.
  4. Alar Reduction

    Alar reduction is a rhinoplasty technique designed to refine the width of the nostrils. The alar refers to the outer portion of the nose that extends from the tip and curves outward toward the cheek. During this procedure, a small incision is made on either the inside or outside of the nostril to carefully remove excess tissue. The result is a more balanced, proportional appearance while maintaining the natural shape of the nose.
  5. Liquid Rhinoplasty

    Liquid or Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dermal fillers and Botox to subtly reshape the nose. It can be an excellent option for camouflaging small bumps, lifting a droopy tip, or adding tip definition. However, it is not suitable for correcting crooked noses. Because non-surgical rhinoplasty is one of the most technically demanding and higher-risk injection areas, it should only be performed by surgeons with advanced knowledge of rhinoplasty. At Visage, Dr. Esmail is the only injector who performs this treatment to ensure the highest level of safety and expertise.
  6. Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty

    A mini ultrasonic rhinoplasty is performed through a closed approach with a tiny incision placed inside the nose, leaving no external scars. This advanced technique uses a specialized instrument called a Piezotome, which allows for precise bone reshaping while minimizing trauma to surrounding soft tissues and reducing recovery time.

Kiara Belanger

“I saw Dr.Esmail for an ultrasonic rhinoplasty. During my consultation we addressed my concerns both cosmetic and medical, the consultation seemed pretty brief but all my questions were answered during my visit. The staff and nurses are very sweet and I felt I was in very good hands up till the day of my surgery. My surgery only took about an hour and a half, I was concerned about feeling nauseous post op but the anesthesiologist assured me it’s not common. I felt fine waking up and did not feel sick at all! (If that’s something you’re worried about) I am now only three weeks post op and I love my nose, he did an amazing job. I also had extremely minimal bruising and some swelling. Dr.Esmail is a great surgeon.”

Rebekah

“I’m so incredibly happy with the results of my rhinoplasty with Dr. Esmail! The tip of my nose was very flat and bulbous and I wanted a pointy tip + a bit slimmer and the tip a little bit lifted and he gave me exactly the results I wanted! He saw my vision and executed it perfectly!!💫 My nose now at one month post Op is exactly how I wanted my new nose to look 😊 the fact that it will look even better as more time passes makes me very very happy! On top of absolutely loving my results The whole team at Visage was very kind and welcoming and made the whole experience very pleasant.☺️ Thank you Dr. Esmail & The Visage Team 🫶🏽”

Joey Melo

I wanted a sharp not too feminine look and he delivered that. Not only that, but my breathing is so much better too. No regrets and I couldn’t have picked a better surgeon.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How is mini rhinoplasty different from traditional rhinoplasty?

Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which involves restructuring bone and cartilage, mini rhinoplasty focuses on small surface refinements. It’s performed using specialized micro rasps through tiny incisions that often do not require stitches. The procedure is quicker, less invasive, and has a faster recovery time.

When will I see results after mini rhinoplasty?

Results are visible almost immediately after the procedure, with mild swelling subsiding over the following days. Final results appear within one to two weeks as the nose settles into its new shape.

How long do results from mini rhinoplasty last?

Mini rhinoplasty results are long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle and proper skincare. While it doesn’t stop the natural aging process, the refinements achieved are permanent unless additional treatment is desired later.

How long does mini rhinoplasty take?

The procedure usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the level of correction needed. Patients can return home the same day and often resume normal activities within 24 hours.

Is mini rhinoplasty painful?

Most patients experience little to no pain during or after mini rhinoplasty. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and any post-treatment tenderness or swelling typically resolves within a few days.

Does Micro-Rhinoplasty require sedation?

Micro-Rhinoplasty is often performed with freezing and no sedation at all. Some patients may prefer to take a short acting oral sedative.

Will I have any visible scar from a Micro-Rhinoplasty?

Micro-Rhinoplasty is performed using a very small incision on the inside of the nose. The incision is made using a small, micro instrument that can be placed under the skin so there are no outward sutures or scarring.

About Dr. Ali Esmail, MD

Dr. Ali Esmail Visage

Owner/Doctor

Dr. Ali Esmail is Winnipeg’s first and only fellowship trained Facial Plastic Surgeon. Unlike a ‘general plastic surgeon’, Dr. Esmail has 6 years of specialized training that focuses primarily on procedures from the neck up.

When it comes to someone’s face there is no room for error, and at Visage, this is the very work ethic that drives our entire team. It is those attributes that originally attracted Dr. Esmail to the field of facial plastic surgery. His obsessive attention to detail and keen eye for aesthetic symmetry is what makes him one of the most exciting and top young surgeons in the field.
