My friend had always been self-conscious about her crooked, bulbous nose, so she finally decided to get a nose job. She found a so-called “expert” in downtown Vancouver but left with a lopsided, squashed-looking nose.
And she wasn’t the only one—plenty of others had similar stories.
That fiasco prompted me to write this article, leading the Water Vancouver team and me to personally visit and investigate the city’s best rhinoplasty clinics.
After speaking with patients and diving deep into each clinic’s reputation, here’s our roundup of the top places in Vancouver for A-list-worthy rhinoplasty.
How much does it cost to get rhinoplasty in Vancouver?
It costs at least 7,000 CAD to get rhinoplasty in Vancouver.
The final price will depend on the complexity of your nose revisions, the clinic, and any additional fees.
How We Chose
1. Dr. Andrew B. Denton
Address: 943 W Broadway #202
Contact details: +1 604-879-3223
Operating hours: Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 4:30 PM
Dr. Andrew B. Denton is highly regarded in the realm of facial plastic surgery, especially when it comes to rhinoplasty.
To evaluate his skills, we recently booked a consultation with him. From the start, Dr. Denton’s thoroughness was impressive.
He genuinely listened to our concerns and goals, taking the time to explain everything in detail, which is exactly what you want when considering plastic surgery.
His use of advanced computer imaging to illustrate potential outcomes added an important layer of transparency for such a delicate procedure.
While we haven’t experienced the surgery ourselves, his reputation suggests that many patients appreciate his precision and smooth recovery process. Feedback from clients we interviewed echoed this sentiment, highlighting their satisfaction with his work.
Knowing that he conducts all surgeries in his own accredited facility with twilight anaesthesia certainly adds to the overall comfort and safety.
However, it’s worth noting that some have mentioned his services come at a higher price point.
Fantastic from the initial consultation to the post-surgery care
“After extensive research and several consultations around town, I was referred to Dr. Andrew Denton. Three months ago, I underwent a rhinoplasty, and I cannot thank Dr. Denton enough for transforming both my appearance and my self-esteem. The entire experience, from the initial consultation to the post-surgery care, was fantastic. By following all the provided instructions, my healing process was smooth and free of complications. The clinic staff were also exceptional, promptly responding to emails and phone inquiries and efficiently handling appointment bookings. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Denton and his team to anyone considering this procedure.”

I regret not going to him first
“Do yourself a favor and go see this doctor! Dr Denton absolutely the best! I’m still recovering but already can tell I love results. My surgery was easy and recovery is painless. The only regret I have that I didn’t go to him first and dr Denton had to correct mistake of other surgeon. But in a future I’m going to see only dr Denton. I’m really grateful, and happy that I found surgeon who I can trust with my face.”

2. Dr. Ritchie Younger
Address: 2025 W Broadway #105
Contact details: +1 604-738-3223
Operating hours:
- Monday to Thursday – 9 AM to 5 PM
- Friday – 9 AM to 4 PM
Dr. Ritchie Younger has successfully performed thousands of procedures over the last 30 years.
Impressively, around 70% of the patients we interviewed were those seeking help after previous surgeries at other clinics. This statistic speaks to the trust and reputation he has built in the community.
During our visit for an initial consultation, we were struck by Dr. Younger’s relaxed personality and attentiveness.
He carefully examined the structure of our noses, as well as the texture and colour of the skin, not knowing we were there for research rather than a procedure.
Using a state-of-the-art computer imaging system, he provided us with a clear visual of potential results.
The Younger Facial Surgery Centre also offers a diverse range of rhinoplasty options, including classical and augmentation techniques.
This variety allows Dr. Younger to customise the procedure based on a patient’s goals, whether it’s enhancing the shape of the nose or correcting past surgeries.
While most patients we spoke to had positive experiences, there were a few reports of breathing issues post-surgery.
He put me at ease by addressing all of my concerns
“If you are looking for an amazing facial surgeon, look no further. Dr. Ritchie Younger is hands-down the BEST! I have always been self conscious of my nose and now feel more confident. I felt very comfortable in choosing Dr. Younger with his extensive years of experience and having seen his previous work. He is honest, professional, knowledgeable, caring and extremely skilled. He put me at ease by addressing all of my concerns and I trusted his recommendations. From my consultation to surgery and follow-up care, I had an excellent experience and the results exceeded my expectations! Not only does my nose look amazing, but my breathing is the best it has ever been. Thank you Dr. Younger and staff.”

“I had a rhinoplasty done by Dr Younger and I’m 6 weeks post op and I have nothing but good things to write so far. He’s hilarious and puts you at ease right away. He’s knowledgeable and has a great eye for what shape would look best for your face. The final result has been better than I imagined even. He has done a fantastic job and I am so happy even 6 weeks post surgery. No complications, no issues. Overall a great experience and amazing result.”

Dr. Kibblewhite has established one of the largest rhinoplasty practices in Western Canada over the past two decades.
During our undercover visit, we saw firsthand how he and his attentive staff truly understand that the decision to undergo facial cosmetic surgery is deeply personal.
They take the time to address each patient’s unique concerns and objectives. This important step helps ensure that everyone feels well-informed and supported throughout the process.
Our consultation was incredibly thorough and pleasant, with Dr. Kibblewhite being both kind and helpful. He provided a clear explanation of the differences between open rhinoplasty and revision procedures.
At no point did we feel pressured while discussing our surgical concerns. Instead, he answered every single one of our questions.
Keep in mind, though, that there is a waitlist for appointments.
I can breathe well for the first time
Dr Kibblewhite is kind, confident, caring and extremely competent. He performed a rhinoplasty revision on a primary that had been done 30 years prior. I can breathe well for the first time and it is the great care that he and his team provided.

Dr. Kibblewhite did an amazing job on my nose
Dr. Kibblewhite did an amazing job on my nose. Not only is it significantly straighter, but I can now breathe through both of my nostrils. Would strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for reconstructive nose surgery. Extremely happy with the end result!

Dr. Arko Demianczuk at Pacific Plastic Surgery boasts over 20 years of expertise in both cosmetic and reconstructive nasal surgery.

They appreciated his attentive approach and personalized surgical plans that addressed their aesthetic desires and functional concerns.
Most patients we interviewed expressed satisfaction with their results, noting that their noses looked more balanced and harmonious with their facial features.
Some even reported improved breathing, thanks to Dr. Demianczuk’s commitment to preserving nasal function.
We also got a glimpse of their aftercare facility, which is specially equipped to support recovery before heading home.

Has a very calming energy and listened to all of my concerns
“From the moment I met Dr Demianczuk, I knew I would bein great hands for my surgery. He has a very calming energy and listened to all of my concerns with care. The process from start to finish was seamless and I am very happy with my results ! Although I was nervous going into the surgery, he explained everything in detail and created a calm environment with his great team – they even played nice music in the operating room 🙂

5. Dr. Thomas Bounassisi
Address: 1788 W Broadway 300 Floor 3
Contact details: +1 604-229-6027
Operating hours:
- Monday & Tuesday, Thursday & Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
- Wednesday – 9 AM to 7 PM
Dr. Buonassisi, a master in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, practices at 8 West Clinic. As a board-certified surgeon, he excels in hump reduction, alar base reduction, tip refinement, and more.
What truly sets the clinic apart is its comprehensive, 360-degree approach to treatment.
During our consultation, we appreciated how Dr. Buonassisi took the time to understand our concerns and preferences. This thoughtful approach made us feel truly valued.
While we didn’t actually go through with a nose job, the doctor was unaware of our research intentions.
He stands out for his proficiency in both open and closed rhinoplasty, ensuring minor scarring. Many patients we interviewed consistently bragged about their smooth recovery experience, minimal discomfort, and quick return to their usual activities.
That said, while the surgical team provided excellent initial guidance, some patients felt they could benefit from additional support in managing swelling and caring for incisions.
They have THE best staff, always friendly and professional
“Happy customer of 8 West for many years now. They have THE best staff, always friendly and professional. Both locations are beautiful/very clean. Most recently, I have been seeing Rob for my injections and he is fantastic!”
–Y J Google Reviews
Everyone at 8 West was amazing
I had my rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago and Dr. Buonassisi and everyone at 8 West was amazing. Right from the start, Sarah was great with answering questions and getting me in for a consult. Everything was very easy! In my consult with Dr. B, he was honest and we set realistic expectations for what could be done in with surgery. On the day of the surgery, I got to meet and speak with all of the members involved in the procedure and they told me what would be happening. I was very comfortable. Pre and post op instructions were very clear and it has made for a smooth recovery. I got my cast off 6 days later and even thought there is still swelling, I am already so happy with the results! I love it and I’m so glad I finally got the surgery and that I chose 8 West.
Thank you!
