Your tummy tuck consultation is the best time to get to know your plastic surgeon and for your surgeon to get a clear understanding of what your goals are.

The stomach can be a troublesome area for men and women alike and unfortunately, in many cases, diet and exercise alone cannot eliminate the stubborn pockets of fat and loose skin that often develop as a result of genetics, the natural aging process, significant weight loss, or multiple pregnancies. Luckily, a popular procedure in Toronto known as abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, can tackle this problem by eradicating excess fat and skin and tightening the abdominal muscles, improving the body’s contour. While it is a misconception that a tummy tuck alone can deliver washboard abs, abdominoplasty can make it easier for […]
Everyone’s nipples and areolae (the dark tissue surrounding the nipple) are different, ranging in shape, colour and size. While each of us is born with a unique combination of these “normal” traits, our nipples still change throughout our lives as hormone levels shift during puberty, pregnancy and/or breastfeeding, as well as with age.
Some level of variation is to be expected, but it’s still important to monitor your nipples for unusual changes that can’t be attributed to natural causes. Coupling a monthly breast self-exam with a check for nipple abnormality will help you to watch out for the development of any […]

A BBL is a safe and simple procedure that delivers results that look and feel natural. However, only a portion of the transferred fat survives in its new location. The percentage of fat cells that sustain themselves long-term varies widely depending on a host of factors, including the total volume transferred, the tightness and elasticity of skin in the new location, and the patient aftercare during recovery. Although various factors influence […]
