Abdominoplasty or a tummy tuck is a highly requested cosmetic surgery procedure which works to improve the appearance of the midsection by tightening abdominal muscles and removing excess skin and fat. Due to the popularity of this procedure, several different adaptations have been developed including the mini tummy tuck and hybrid tummy tuck (the hybrid tummy tuck is also known as the Floating Abdominoplasty, or FAB).While a traditional or full tummy tuck involves making a large incision from hip to hip across the abdomen and addresses trouble areas both above and below the navel, a mini tummy tuck makes a […]
In Toronto, a breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. If you have made the decision to undergo a breast augmentation, there are several different factors to consider including the size, choice of implant, incision site, surface, and shape of your breast implants. It is important to discuss each option with your plastic surgeon before undergoing a breast augmentation.
Size
One of the most important considerations when it comes to a breast augmentation is the size of the breast implants, as this will determine how natural or enhanced the final result […]
If you have made the decision to undergo a breast augmentation, in addition to taking your time to select a highly qualified, board-certified surgeon, a number of important additional decisions need to be made, including your desired size, implant type, projection, and shape. In addition, it is necessary to determine the most suitable placement for your breast implants.
While your surgeon can help you understand the distinction between over and under muscle breast implant placement, the benefits and drawbacks of each technique are outlined below.
Over the Muscle Placement

Toronto cosmetic clients want to know, how old should you be before beginning treatment with dermal fillers? If you have begun to see creases, wrinkles or fine lines on your face, or if your lips are thinner and cheeks flatter than they used to be, then you are old enough to begin treatment with Dermal fillers. We have good reason to believe that regular treatment with dermal fillers, before lines become deep and set, may prevent them from deepening for longer. Recent scientific studies have shown that use of hyaluronic acid based dermal filler products, like Restylane and Juvederm, stimulate […]

Through congenital difficulties or the natural aging process, undesirable traits can appear underneath the eyes and on the upper eyelid. Usually these take the form of bags, dark circles, or puffiness underneath the eyes, however the upper eyelid will occasionally develop an excess of skin, which can make the application of makeup very difficult or even cause vision problems. The latter is a condition known as ptosis, in which the upper eyelid hangs down into the patient’s field of vision. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a common and popular solution to these kinds of problems or undesirable aesthetic traits. In […]
Did you know that there is no “best” age to have a facelift surgery, or any kind of cosmetic treatment for that matter? Generally speaking, the only medical requirement or prerequisite for having the vast majority of cosmetic treatments is that you be in good general health. Of course, something like a “liquid facelift” that involves the use of non-surgical dermal fillers and Botox will have a lesser requirement than a facelift (or a tummy tuck, or breast augmentation) or anything that requires actual surgery—in these cases your body must be healthy enough to withstand elective surgery. The good news […]
