When your ears protrude too much or are misshapen, they can adversely affect your overall appearance. Otoplasty, or cosmetic ear surgery, can improve the appearance of your ears by modifying their shape or “pinning” them back so they don’t protrude as much (in a procedure specifically known as pinnaplasty).

A recent study has confirmed an increase in the occurrence of complications related to body contouring surgery in patients with a high Body Mass Index (BMI). The study, Correlation of Complications of Body Contouring Surgery With Increasing Body Mass Index, appeared in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal (July/August 2008 issue), published by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).
The Aesthetic Surgery Journal study consisted of a retrospective review of 129 patients who had undergone a single body contouring procedure in 1993 or 2002. In order to assess whether or not a relationship existed between obesity and body contouring complications, participants […]
If you’re considering a breast augmentation in Toronto, you are likely aware of the two most popular breast implant types used in Canada: saline and silicone cohesive gel.

Since your choice of breast implant will determine the outcome of your procedure, it is important to have a clear understanding of the options before scheduling your breast augmentation.

A Tummy tuck surgery, or Abdominoplasty, is designed to remove excess skin and fat, and tighten abdominal muscles, which helps to flatten the midsection and improve waist contours. While this can be one of the most transformative cosmetic surgeries, it is also one of the most extensive plastic surgeries for the body.
As such, it is important that each patient knows what to expect following the procedure, including what it will feel like as they go through stages of recovery.
Will It Be Painful?
The amount of pain or discomfort patients experience postoperatively will vary depending on their tolerance for pain and the […]
In the past most advertising, for cosmetic surgical and non-surgical treatments, was directed at women. Plastic surgery, facial aesthetic treatments, and injectables such as Botox and fillers were marketed to women and cosmetic practice websites were filled with pictures of happy, good-looking, smooth-skinned women.
Times have changed and according to a recent medical study from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 453,281 men received botulinum injections in 2016. Men getting Botox, the most commonly recognized of the neuromodulators, accounted for 9.9 percent of total treatments done. A similar study from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that “Brotox” had […]

Once your liposuction procedure is over, you cannot just spring up and get back to your normal daily activities.

Below, we will go over some tips to help you recovery quickly and love the results you receive.
Be healthy first and foremost

Liposuction has been around for decades and although it is not new to the medical industry, many people are confused about the procedure or believe myths that circulate around about it. It is never wise to blindly believe something you heard simply because someone you know said it. Before you jump to a conclusion, we will go over some of the most common myths and facts about liposuction.
Myth #1 – Liposuction will help me lose weight
Liposuction is designed to eliminate fatty deposits and not designed to serve as a weight loss aid. When you want to have liposuction performed, you […]
Men, like women, develop saggy skin, stretch marks and weakened abdominal muscles over time. Often this occurs as a result of frequent or dramatic changes in weight, but can also be caused by natural factors like genetics or the aging process. It is typical for men to see their body fat most apparent around the abdominal area and waist (unlike women, who tend to store their fat in their thighs and buttocks). By the time they reach middle age, this fat becomes more stubborn and cannot be eliminated with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle alone.
