I have always been generally happy with my appearance with the only main insecurity towards the wideness of my nose. It never actually occurred to me that I could in fact, change this.


I began looking into rhinoplasty over a year ago, and didn't know exactly where to start. Getting a surgery (especially on your face) is an extremely stressful and huge decision.
Currently living in Saskatchewan, I knew I wanted to go to a bigger city to get this procedure done where my selection of Surgeons would be greater to choose from.
I started off booking a consultation in Calgary, where I didn't feel like this surgeon was for me. As far as the price being more, she didn't have the digital imaging and seemed not as personable as I had hoped.


After the procedure there were a few times I was a little worried. Having a surgery like this is a very emotional time, and you tend to stare at yourself ALOT after the cast comes off. If at any point in time, something seemed not right to me, all I would do is call and they would squeeze me in straight away to have a look.
It has been 3 months since I got the procedure done, and I have to say it really is the BEST decision I have ever made.

Great review?

I visited Dr. Denton beginning of May for a consultation. Within the first 3 mins I knew that if I was going to go ahead with the procedure, he would be my Dr. He came in the room with a hands on approach, which showed his confidence in what he was doing.This made me feel at ease. The digital imaging also helped reassure me that we were both on the same page about what exactly I wanted. The thing that I really liked about this Dr. and his wonderful staff, is there was never any pressure at any time to make a decision. They wanted me to be 100% sure, and told me to take a few days to think about it (even though I had told them I wanted to go through with it right away) I highly recommend this Dr. and his wonderful staff!

I just made my consultation appointment for Tuesday! I have the exact same concerns that Kelly did. I feel my nose is wide and lacks 'architecture'. I love the structured bridge and that she went with an alarplasty as well. Looks so natural. I'm not happy with my nose, but I definitely still want to look like ME. You look amazing Kelly! Can't wait to get mine done!

You were beautiful before, but I understand why you did it. I have the same problem. People say that I am crazy, but I look at my nose a LOT more than anyone else. Lol. Anyhow, you look fantastic, and your procedure turned out wonderfully. I'm not as scared to consider this procedure now. Thanks for sharing!
