Ottawa Rhinoplasty & Facial Surgery - Dr. James Bonaparte

Specialized Facial Plastic Surgery in Ottawa

Ottawa Rhinoplasty & Facial Surgery is the practice of Dr. James Bonaparte, an otolaryngology-head and neck surgeon certified by the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Canada (FRCSC), with fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. His practice is dedicated exclusively to facial procedures and focuses on rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty.

The surgeon himself describes his approach as pursuing natural results that harmonize with the patient's features: in his words, a good rhinoplasty doesn't draw attention to the nose, but rather allows the eyes and the most favorable features to stand out.

Training and Credentials

Dr. Bonaparte holds an 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 completed his fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery through the AAFPRS. The site indicates more than 13 years of professional practice and notes that the surgeon teaches advanced rhinoplasty techniques to surgical residents.

The surgical center is accredited by the CPSO as a Level 2 facility, which according to the website itself meets the most demanding provincial standards.

Surgical Procedures

The catalog of interventions includes both cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgery:

• Rhinoplasty: reshaping of the nose to improve facial balance, breathing, or both, planned according to each patient's anatomy.
• Revision Rhinoplasty: the surgeon's advanced specialty, aimed at complex cases requiring work on scar tissue and altered anatomy, from minor adjustments to complete reconstruction.
• Submental Liposuction: removal of fat beneath the chin using power-assisted liposuction to redefine the jawline.
• Upper Blepharoplasty: rejuvenation of the upper eyelids by removing excess skin and fat, with hidden incisions.
• Chin Implant: chin augmentation to balance the profile, often combined with rhinoplasty.
• Earlobe Repair: correction of torn, stretched, or gauge-damaged earlobes, with the possibility of re-piercing.
• Scar Revision: improvement of facial scars from surgeries, injuries, or acne using techniques such as Z-plasty and geometric closure.
• Cyst & Lesion Removal: removal of facial cysts, lipomas, and benign growths with specialized head and neck surgical techniques.

Patient Care

The practice presents itself as an unhurried consultation environment, with advanced imaging and surgical plans built around each person's anatomy, goals, and lifestyle. The site mentions a thorough preoperative assessment and careful postoperative follow-up.

The office also offers ARIA (Answering Rhinoplasty Inquiries Anytime), an AI-powered educational assistant that answers frequently asked questions about rhinoplasty, recovery, and patient candidacy, available at any time. The website warns that this is educational information, not medical advice, and that it does not replace a consultation with the surgeon.

Results and Reference Materials

The site publishes a gallery of before-and-after photographs with real results from rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, and other facial procedures, as well as articles and informational resources, including a rhinoplasty FAQ section.
