There are a number of different rhinoplasty surgeries that can be performed to correct the shape or size of your nose. Most of the time, people choose to have rhinoplasty performed because they are unhappy with the look of their nose, but other times, people need to have the surgery performed because of trauma or for a medical reason.
Below, we will go over some of the most common types of rhinoplasty that can be performed. Remember, when your surgeon chooses the type that is right for you, he or she must take into consideration your expectations, your desires, and the […]

Researchers have found that there are two types of aging: intrinsic (internal) aging and extrinsic (external) aging.INTRINSIC AGING AND YOUR SKINThe rate at which intrinsic aging is determined primarily by your genes. This natural aging process normally starts in your 20s. The processes within skin that change with intrinsic aging include a slowing of collagen and elastin production, decreased cellular regeneration, loss of underlying fat and the slowing of exfoliation (shedding of the uppermost layer of the skin, which is generally comprised of dirt, debris and dead skin cells).
The signs of intrinsic aging are the following: hair loss and graying […]
A Soft Lift® is a skin rejuvenation technique that holistically treats a patient’s entire face, rather than targeting individual wrinkles or lines. A Soft Lift® employs BOTOX Cosmetic® and Juvéderm™ together in a single procedure to create exceptional, natural results.The Soft Lift® North York procedure begins with the application of BOTOX®. BOTOX® reduces the appearance of any lines surrounding the eyes or affecting the forehead, eliminating the angry or tired expression associated with the aging process. Juvéderm™ is then used to minimize creases and lines around the patient’s mouth. This filler is also applied to the cheeks, lips and chin […]
Any cosmetic surgical procedure requires your plastic surgeon to close any incisions made. Two methods of incision closure in cosmetic surgery are with thread sutures (stitches) or staples.
SUTURESSutures are essentially a type of thread that is absorbable or non-absorbable. Absorbable sutures are made from bio-compatible materials that gradually break down and disappear, normally after the affected tissue of the incision heals closed. Non-absorbable sutures do not break down and need to be removed.
STAPLESStaples used in cosmetic surgery are typically made from some type of metal, often stainless steel.
Dr. Edelstein talks about sutures applied during tummy tuck surgery.SUTURES VS STAPLES FOR […]
Stretch marks are a common problem that many think are impossible to resolve. Many patients ask us how to remove stretch marks that negatively affect their body. Fortunately, tummy tucks can drastically reduce the appearance of some stretch marks.CAN A TUMMY TUCK TREAT MY STRETCH MARKS? IS IT AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT TO REMOVE STRETCH MARKS?
Location For Effective Stretch Mark Removal Toronto
The location of the stretch marks (also known as striae) and the patient’s individual circumstance dictate whether or not a tummy tuck is an appropriate procedure for their treatment. If the stretch marks are localized in the area of the […]
The shape and size of our chins has a greater impact on our overall appearance than most of us would think. A chin that doesn’t project far enough will make our faces appear disproportionate and disharmonious as will an overly short or long chin.
Fortunately, these issues can be addressed through chin reshaping (genioplasty). A skilled craniofacial surgeon can use one of two techniques — sliding genioplasty or chin implant placement — to significantly improve their patients’ appearance.
ACHIEVING GREAT RESULTS
Chin augmentation works by correcting disproportionate facial features. Patients who suffer from an unusually small chin (micogenia), excess chin height, a disproportionate […]
Structural (or incisional) rhinoplasty refers to the modification of the nose by changing the shape and position of the nasal tip cartilage. This process leaves the skeletal framework of the nose strong and relatively intact, helping to make treatment safer, predictable, and more accurate. If any tissue is removed, particularly when fixing an oversized nasal bridge, hump or bulbous tip, it can also be referred to as excisional rhinoplasty. The excisional technique involves the removal (or excision) of some of the cartilage and other tissue found in the nostril and/or tip of the nose during the reshaping process. By removing […]
For the majority of women, there is a natural space between the right and left breast. This space creates a separation between the two breasts, so that they may both be defined as separate mounds. More importantly, it also defines the cleavage. Regardless of the size of your breast implants, it is important that this space remains for a more natural appearance.
However, if you notice that the space between your breasts has disappeared following your breast augmentation or the skin in the area is raised to a certain extent, then you have developed symmastia (a condition that can also exist […]
When planning your breast enhancement it’s easy to become confused as to what the difference is between the various implant shapes available. Fortunately, Dr. Edelstein can help you make the right choice by assessing your body, discussing your goals, and recommending the right type of implant to use in achieving your dream results.ROUND IMPLANTS VERSUS ANATOMICAL IMPLANTS (AKA TEARDROP IMPLANTS)The two styles of devices commonly used in modern breast augmentation procedures are round and anatomical (or “teardrop”) shaped silicone cohesive gel implants. As their descriptive names suggest, round implants have a more circular shape than the teardrop profile of the […]
