James Bonaparte, MD, MSc, FRCSC

I can't emphasize enough how exceptional Dr. James Bonaparte is as a doctor and surgeon! For years, I struggled with breathing issues, and I had a septoplasty/rhinoplasty procedure done six months ago. After visiting numerous doctors, Dr. Bonaparte truly stood out for his dedication and thoroughness. He took the time to listen to my concerns and fully understand my situation. He was incredibly patient, meeting with me multiple times before my surgery to ensure I was comfortable with the plan. His attentiveness and willingness to explain everything made all the difference.
On the day of my surgery, I felt calm, thanks to the amazing care provided by the entire team. The staff at Dr. Bonaparte's office are truly outstanding, and the hospital surgical team was consistently kind, attentive, and fully supportive throughout the entire process.
I was initially nervous about how my nose would look, as I didn’t want to lose my distinctive features. However, Dr. Bonaparte is clearly a talented surgeon! He not only improved my breathing but also made my nose seamlessly blend with my facial features without altering my appearance. The results are subtle yet beautiful, and I've received countless compliments!
If you're seeking a doctor or feeling uncertain, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Bonaparte. He is an extraordinary surgeon, and I am beyond grateful to have had him as my doctor. Thank you, Dr. Bonaparte!

I recently had a rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Bonaparte and cannot begin to express how happy I am with the results and with the level of care I received. Dr. Bonaparte was a miracle worker in helping me achieve a nose that suits my facial features, and for once in my life my biggest insecurity has turned into something I can’t stop admiring in the mirror! My breathing has also improved drastically. I’m so grateful to have received such attentive, compassionate care and would recommend Dr. Bonaparte a million times over!

I want to start by saying if I could give more than a 5 start I would! Dr. Bonaparte is the best surgeon in the Ottawa region. I had a closed rhinoplasty performed in October 2023 and words cant describe how wonderful the experience was with Dr. Bonaparte. It was my first cosmetic surgery and I was extremely stressed about the surgery and the results. The first appointment Dr. B made me feel very comfortable and explained the surgery and what it involves. He answered all my questions honestly and with clarity. On the day of the surgery I was extremely stressed and he help me through the entire processes and made me feel so comfortable. Healing from the surgery went very well and I was not in pain for the entire recovery.

The results!! The results were even better than I could of dreamed of. Dr. Bonaparte made my dream come true. He changed my life, I am so more confident now thanks to the amazing results.

I would highly recommend Dr Bonaparte to anyone that requires facial surgery.

Thank you to Dr. Bonaparte and the amazing team at Ottawa Derm Centre.

I recently underwent septorhinoplasty with Dr. Bonaparte. I'm extremely happy with the result as he did a wonderful job and I wish I had seen him sooner. I highly recommend Dr. Bonaparte because in addition to being professional and extremely qualified and talented, he is also empathetic and friendly. I was very discouraged by the consultations I had previously with other surgeons in Ottawa. I felt like a number as they didn't even take the time to discuss my expectations. I felt rushed during my consultations and was quickly quoted for the operation. Quite the opposite was Dr Bonaparte who took the time during my consultation to listen to my expectations and to detail what he could archive. Talking to him made me feel so confident and reassuring. In my opinion, he is more than an expert in his field, he is a genius. I will always be very grateful for the incredible work he did. I couldn't be happier with the decision to entrust my operation to Dr. Bonaparte. Again, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a rhinoplasty/septoplasty. His passion and expertise shine through, making him a true master in his field. His staff is also very kind and welcoming, what a great team!

It’s difficult for me to put into words how much Dr Bonaparte has helped me. I came to him with a difficult case and a lengthy surgical history. I’d been told by many other surgeons that my situation was utterly unfixable and to simply accept it.

Dr B did not see it this way. He answered all my questions and concerns honestly and gave me a clear idea of what we could accomplish. He was clear on what he could do or not do. He was kind. He was reassuring. He was funny. He was punctual!

His work is exquisite. My face is balanced, symmetrical, and natural-looking. People I’ve been friends with for 20 years don't notice that I’ve had anything done (in a good way)! His work blew my highest expectations out of the water. He is a gift to have in our little unassuming city of Ottawa. If you need facial work, HE IS THE GUY. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

This surgery was more than physical repair, it’s had a positive ripple effect on the rest of my life. The psychological impact of not dealing with facial irregularities is immeasurable. I’m more confident, I’m happier, and friendlier. If you’re questioning whether to do it, meet with him. He is the best.

I went to Dr. Bonaparte wanting an “instagram” looking nose as opposed to super natural/minimal look and he gave me exactly that in the most natural way. I was thinking of going overseas to achieve a more dramatic result as that look is not very popular here. However, thank god I didn’t - I am currently within my first week post cast removal and my nose is already looking like I have an instagram filter on. (With some swelling of course) My tip is already showing that’s it’s refined, I have a beautiful slope and the nose is skinnier and smaller everything I could have dreamed of! I am so happy I didn’t have to go overseas and take risks in order to get these beautiful results! Best decision to stay here, be safe and use Dr.Bonaparte :)

On September 07, 2023, Dr. James Bonaparte performed a Septorhinoplasty, due to medical ressons on me, surgery was performed without any complications or concerns, his entire team including Dr. Amir - Anesthesiologist, Nurses - Angie, Danielle & Jess with the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital were so professional, experienced, attentive, caring and compassionate throughout the entire procedure and post op. Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital, Danielle, Nurse & Dr. James Bonaparte's Office staff / Nurses even contacted me post op for follow-up on recovery concerns. The entire procedure and experience was Exceptional. A Special Thank You to Dr. James Bonaparte, Surgeon, Dr. Amir, Anesthesiologist, Nurses - Angie, Danielle & Jess and to Deborah. Thank You for being there for me at a time when I needed someone most.

I underwent rhinoplastic surgery performed by Dr. Bonaparte, and I must express my profound satisfaction with the results. The outcome appears exceptionally natural, closely resembling a non-surgical transformation – a crucial aspect for those of us undergoing this process. My nose had suffered deformation and lost its shape due to past incidents, but thanks to this procedure, it now not only boasts an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but it has also significantly improved my self-assurance. Moreover, the surgery has had a transformative impact on my respiratory function.

As many individuals who have undergone rhinoplastic surgery can attest, the enhancement of breathing is a paramount consideration. In this regard, Dr. Bonaparte's work has been truly remarkable. I find myself in awe of his skills, almost to the point of considering him a magician with his extraordinary surgical abilities.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. James Bonaparte for restoring not only the aesthetics of my nose but also the quality of my life. His expertise and precision have elevated him to the status of a true hero in my eyes.

I will do an update later as I’m only a two days post-op but wow. What a smooth and completely pain free experience. I knew Dr. Bonaparte was the best BUT couldn’t have imagined such an easy process. From the admin staff, to the hospital staff … I felt so comfortable, heard and understood. All parts of the process and procedure were made clear to me. I could ask any and as many questions with everyone happy to answer! Debra at ODC was lovely to work with. Angie at CP hospital was so kind.

Now, Dr.B. He is so laid back and calm natured. He made me feel so comfortable from my very first consult. I’m only a few days post op but have had minimal bruising and almost no swelling (mind you I did have a pretty minor rhino). I have had zero pain minus a small sore throat from intubation.

I can see the difference to the tip of my nose, cannot yet see the dorsal hump that was shaved down BUT can tell from the shape of the cast that it’s going to look awfully straight! I’m so happy!! I will update with photos once I’m a bit more healed.

I’m in awe of how painless and easy this process has been. If anyone has been debating doing something like this… 10/10 recommend Dr. B and his team!

I've always had fat under my chin, even at my lowest weight. I've always felt self conscious about it because no amount of weightless could remove it. With my slightly recessed chin, the fat is much more obvious. I previously tried 2 rounds of Belkyra at $1500 each, and it made no difference.

I went to see Dr. Bonaparte because I was frustrated with my jawline and chin fat, and how much more round it made my face appear. After a quick consultation, we set a surgery date. This was my first ever surgery, and I felt supported, cared for, and comfortable every step of the way. All of my questions were answered and I was confident in my choice.

For the same cost of 2 failed rounds of Belkyra, I was able to get my under chin fat removed and get my jawline contoured. After only a few days, I was thrilled with the results. I'm patiently awaiting the swelling to go down in the upcoming months. It's amazing what something small can do for your confidence.

Dr. Bonaparte also recommended massater botox to continue to slim my jawline, which I will explore in the future. I am also considering a chin implant for my recessed chin to further the results from the chin liposuction.
