Everything you need to make the right decision.

Twenty five years of surgical experience. Fifteen years of patient education. Everything in one place.

This library is one of the most comprehensive patient education resources produced by a rhinoplasty specialist in Canada. Every video, article, and guide was created by Dr. Thomas Buonassisi, MD, FRCSC — who has been performing rhinoplasty in Vancouver for over 25 years and educating patients on the subject for 15. Every answer comes directly from the surgeon who would be performing your procedure

The goal of this library is straightforward: to give you the information you need to arrive at your rhinoplasty consultation with the right questions, realistic expectations, and a clear understanding of what rhinoplasty actually involves. Whether you are exploring the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty, trying to understand what recovery looks like week by week, or wondering whether you are even a candidate — the answer is here, explained by the surgeon who would be performing the procedure.

The library covers surgical techniques in detail — ultrasonic rhinoplasty, preservation rhinoplasty, hump reduction, tip refinement, ethnic rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, and more — alongside full patient documentaries, recovery timelines, and direct answers to the questions Dr. Buonassisi hears most often at consultation. Patients come to 8 West from across Vancouver, North Vancouver, and the Lower Mainland, as well as from Victoria, Kelowna, Calgary, and across Canada.
