If you are considering liposuction, it is important that you sit down and consider whether or not the procedure is right for you. Not all procedures are ideal for everyone and if you choose the wrong procedure, you will not be happy with the results, leading to more surgeries.
Everyone has a desire to look stunning and liposuction facilitates that desire and allows you to be the best you. Before you hop onto the idea of liposuction, consider the following points to decide if the procedure is ideal for you.
Do you have excess fat?

Do you have serious creases and folds on your face that you want to get rid of? Before you turn to surgery, consider the viable nonsurgical alternative: Juvéderm® VOLIFT®!
In Spring 2013, Allergan made headlines by announcing the launch of their newest injectable filler, VOLIFT®, and Edelstein Cosmetic is one of the first cosmetic surgery centres in Canada to offer it.
VOLIFT® is a hyaluronic acid filler designed for the treatment of deep skin depressions negatively affected by aging, such as severe nasolabial folds (but not for the area around the eyes or between the eyebrows). It can also enhance facial contours […]
Introducing Juvéderm® Volbella®, the new gold standard for non-surgical lip augmentation available in Toronto at Edelstein Cosmetic. Volbella® is an injectable filler based on hyaluronic acid (HA) that provides a desirable improvement in the lip contour, boosting volume, smoothing vertical creases (smoker’s lines), and achieving symmetry – all in a single treatment session that usually lasts 20 minutes or less. Plus, it has lidocaine (anaesthetic) in it for a more comfortable treatment!Lip Augmentation – The Edelstein Cosmetic DifferenceJuvéderm® Volbella® is preferred to Juvéderm® Ultra because it has a smoother, softer consistency that mimics the natural feel of your lips better. […]
VOLUMA® is the newest member of the Juvéderm® family. It is designed to restore facial contours that have been negatively affected by a long-neglected sign of aging: volume loss.
Aging does more to your face than add a few wrinkles here and there; it causes the face to sag and hollow due to the re-distribution of fat and the changes that occur to the facial skeleton. While other products only smooth away wrinkles and creases (considered to be a “two-dimensional” concern because it only affects the skin’s surface), VOLUMA® takes on the more complex, three-dimensional issue of volume loss for a […]
Injectable fillers are products that add volume to facial contours. Also known as dermal fillers, the current market leaders are Juvéderm® and Restylane®.
Juvéderm® and Restylane® are manufactured by two different medical companies (Allergan and Medicis) but share many similarities, including price. Both are based on the therapeutic benefits of purified hyaluronic acid, derived from non-animal sources, which means that there is no risk of an allergic reaction or transmission of disease.
Juvéderm® and Restylane® address the following aesthetic concerns affecting the face:
Forehead creases
Under eye hollows
Hollow cheeks
Lack of definition of the nose tip
Nasolabial folds
Insufficient lip volume or asymmetry
Vertical lip lines
Marionette lines (creases […]
Juvéderm® is North America’s most popular facial filler and is more popular than Restylane. It consists of a smooth gel formulated with hyaluronate (aka HA), a substance that aids the skin in maintaining proper hydration and volume. The substance is also responsible for giving the eyes their shape and lubricating the joints.
HA is a naturally occurring linear polysaccharide that is able to bind 1,000 times its volume in water. When healthy amounts of HA are present in the body, spaces that exist between elastin and collagen fibres are sufficiently filled to provide a good supportive structure to your skin. As […]

How can labiaplasty help me?
Childbirth, aging, trauma and genetics can all contribute to the development of enlarged labia minora (the inner lips of the vagina), negatively affecting a woman’s self confidence. It can also cause a woman to feel discomfort, irritation and even pain during daily activities and sexual intercourse. Labiaplasty, or labial reduction, is a surgical procedure that reduces and/or reshapes the labia […]
Many women suffer from embarrassment or lack of self-confidence due to the size and/or shape of their labia minora (the inner lips of the vagina). If the labia minora protrudes or is overly long, a woman may be displeased by how her genital area looks. She may also feel discomfort when wearing bathing suits or engaging in sexual activity.LABIAL REDUCTION SURGERYLabial reduction surgery (or labiaplasty) works to improve the labia minora by trimming the inner folds so that they no longer protrude, through either surgically reducing the edges of the labia or removing a V-shaped wedge of tissue.LABIAL REDUCTION RISKS […]
If you’re considering labiaplasty to improve the appearance of your genital area, then read on. You’ll need to decide on which type of look you want. That’s right – even in labial reduction surgery, you have choices.
We have extensive experience performing labiaplasty and have found that our patients tend to prefer one of two looks: The Barbie or Traditional.
THE BARBIE LABIAPLASTY
The Barbie is a specific type of labiaplasty that involves a total reduction of the labia minora (inner lips), allowing the labia majora (outer lips) to close together better. Because there is very little to no labia minora remaining, the […]
What is labial Hypertrophy?
Labial hypertrophy is a medical condition that is characterized by the atypical enlargement of the inner vaginal lips (or labia minora). Patients who suffer from the condition present inner vaginal lips that extend beyond the typically larger outer lips (labia majora). The symptoms of hypertrophy (enlargement) include significant aesthetic or functional changes that cause interference (or outright pain depending on severity) during activities such as intercourse, cycling, playing sports and routine motions like walking or sitting. In some cases the labia protrudes enough that it is visible when wearing swimwear and some types of clothing. Proper hygiene […]
