What makes facial plastic surgery so unique?
Facial plastic surgery is a sub-specialty of plastic surgery because it involves an area of the body that is full of blood vessels and nerves and is, of course, highly visible. Unlike […]
Following cosmetic abdominoplasty, patients are required to wear a compression garment. There are three main reasons why a compression garment is used to help the body after a tummy tuck.
1. FLUID ABSORPTION – The pressure of the compression garment helps control swelling, bruising and discomfort while the body heals from the effects of a tummy tuck. This pressure works to shift fluid balances in the affected area, “pushing” the fluid out of the tissues and encouraging the body to absorb them naturally. When the body is able to properly absorb these fluids, the bruising and swelling that is common to […]

DIASTASIS RECTIDiastasis recti is a condition that is common in women who have had one or more pregnancies. It involves the separation of the left and right side of the rectus abdominis muscle (a muscle that covers the front surface of the stomach area).
The growth of a uterus during pregnancy creates so much pressure on the internal abdomen that the rectus muscles stretch, migrating outwards and separating in the centre. Often, women who have been pregnant multiple times will develop diastasis recti due to repeated stretching of these muscles.
The condition is characterized by a ridge-like presence that runs […]
A patient who has breast augmentation surgery should be informed that silicone breast implants do not last forever and that implant rupture can occur, although their incidence is rare. Once an implant has been properly diagnosed as having ruptured, it should be removed and replaced if desired.INTRACAPSULAR BREAST IMPLANT RUPTURE VS EXTRACAPSULAR BREAST IMPLANT RUPTURE
When an implant is placed inside the body, a capsule of scar tissue naturally forms around it. An intracapsular rupture involves the cohesive gel of a ruptured breast implant remaining within the confines of this natural scar tissue.
When the cohesive gel extends outside of the scar […]
Many women undergo breast augmentation and a breast lift (mastopexy) at the same time. Breast implants enlarge the size of your bustline while mastopexy rejuvenates your body contour to create a more youthful appearance. However, if you have sagging breasts, did you know that a breast lift isn’t always necessary to achieve the improvement you want? This means that you won’t have the longer scars that a breast lift often involves, which is one of the biggest concerns for women considering the procedure. You will only have the smaller, less noticeable scarring related to breast augmentation. In fact, 95% of […]
Cohesive gel implants are the newest type of silicone implant for breast augmentation. These implants are filled with a thicker type of silicone. When you cut into a cohesive gel implant, nothing oozes out. It is similar to cutting into a gummy-bear or jello. In contrast, when you cut into a regular silicone implant, the liquid silicone gel leaks out.See why the new silicone implants are safe and do not leak if punctured in this breast implant video:
Cohesive gel implants have been used in Europe since 1995, and have been available in Canada since 2000. In 2007, plastic surgeons in […]

Individuals who have experienced massive weight loss are no longer at risk of developing health issues related to excess weight. However, following such a dramatic drop in weight often results in excess skin that cannot snap back to their leaner body contour. As a result, the excess skin sags, hanging off their body problematically. A circumferential body lift can remove this skin, revealing the true results of their weight loss.The Procedure
