Ottawa Rhinoplasty & Facial Surgery - Dr. James Bonaparte

Specialized Facial Plastic Surgery in Ottawa

The Ottawa Rhinoplasty & Facial Surgery practice, led by Dr. James Bonaparte, is dedicated exclusively to surgical and reconstructive procedures of the face. Dr. Bonaparte is an otolaryngology–head and neck surgeon certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (FRCSC), with fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery accredited by the AAFPRS. His practice focuses on rhinoplasty and aesthetic and reconstructive facial procedures, with the stated goal of achieving natural results that harmonize with the patient's features.

Dr. Bonaparte's Training and Credentials

Dr. Bonaparte holds a Master of Science (MSc) and has more than 36 peer-reviewed publications in the field of facial plastic surgery. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) and has been in practice for over thirteen years. In addition to his clinical work, he teaches advanced rhinoplasty techniques to surgical residents. His approach, according to information on his website, is to enhance existing features rather than transform them, aiming for a result that is perceived as a refined version of the patient's natural appearance.

Surgical Procedures

The practice's offerings include surgical and reconstructive facial procedures. Rhinoplasty is the primary specialty: reshaping the nose for a more balanced look and, when necessary, improving breathing, with each case planned according to the patient's specific anatomy. Revision rhinoplasty is an advanced specialty: Dr. Bonaparte works through scar tissue and altered anatomy to correct or improve a previous result, from minor refinements to complete reconstructions.

Other procedures include:

• Submental liposuction: removal of stubborn fat beneath the chin and redefinition of the jawline using power-assisted liposuction.
• Upper blepharoplasty: rejuvenation of the eyes by removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, with hidden incisions.
• Chin implant: chin augmentation to balance the profile, often combined with rhinoplasty to improve overall facial harmony.
• Earlobe repair: correction of torn, stretched, or gauge-damaged earlobes, restoring natural shape and allowing re-piercing.
• Scar revision: improvement of the appearance of facial scars from surgery, injuries, or acne using advanced techniques such as Z-plasty and geometric closure.
• Cyst and lesion removal: safe removal of facial cysts, lipomas, and benign growths using specialized head and neck surgical techniques.

Personalized Care and Patient Safety

The practice emphasizes unhurried consultations and the use of advanced imaging to plan each procedure. Every surgical plan is built around the patient's anatomy, goals, and lifestyle. Safety is addressed through a thorough preoperative assessment and careful postoperative follow-up. The surgical facility holds a Level 2 accreditation from the CPSO (College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario), which, according to published information, meets the highest provincial standards.

Patient Resources

The website offers a gallery of before-and-after photos for rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, and other facial procedures. It also includes a rhinoplasty FAQ section and an AI-powered educational assistant called ARIA (Answering Rhinoplasty Inquiries Anytime), free and available 24/7, which answers common questions about rhinoplasty, recovery, and candidacy criteria. The website content is intended exclusively for Canadian residents.
