Whether as a result of weight fluctuations, multiple pregnancies or the natural aging process, sagging, lax skin and separated abdominal muscles create a frustrating problem for many people. Diet and exercise can ensure that you are healthy but surgical solutions are often required to solve these body contour issues. In Toronto, abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck procedures are a popular option for abdominal restoration and figure reshaping. Although a full tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck are both popular procedures, more patients request a mini tummy tuck due to its numerous advantages, including its less invasive nature, smaller incision, and […]

However, in doing so, they are endangering themselves as many unlicensed surgeons utilize risky alternatives rather than following accepted techniques and safety protocols. Although silicone implants are a safe […]

You may be wondering what to expect from a Tummy Tuck procedure. Likely, you’ve heard a variety of reports about pain related to this procedure and they may not be consistent.

For instance, patients who undergo a circumferential tummy […]
Yes, a Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty can certainly narrow your waistline. Tummy Tuck surgery, when done well, can smooth contours for a leaner look or thinner waist along with creating a flatter tummy. This depends somewhat on your body and your aesthetic needs.
Panniculectomy refers to the removal of a pannus or simple excision of excess, overhanging abdominal skin. Although this is an important component of abdominoplasty procedures, this intervention alone will not have much effect on your waistline as it typically addresses the front of the abdomen and does not deal with fat removal at all. If a patient were […]
During pregnancy, women’s breast tissue stretches and shrinks significantly, first becoming engorged with milk, and then shrinking as the breast glands atrophy after breast feeding is finished. The good news is that if you had a breast augmentation and became pregnant afterwards, the implants themselves will be perfectly fine and will remain intact. However, the overall shape of your breasts may change as a result of the major physical effects of pregnancy.
What Changes Can I Expect?
Women’s breasts often change and become smaller; however, they may become larger due to weight gain, or remain the same size as before pregnancy. Unfortunately, […]

Most women are able to get a good ten years out of their butt lift before they need to have a touchup. The butt lift itself is designed to last a lifetime, but it is natural […]
A genioplasty is an alternative to the chin implant. By using a patients own bone, the surgeon can change the projection, height, shape and proportion of a person’s chin. It therefore offers more versatility than an implant chin augmentation, which can really only give the chin more projection and to some degree change the shape. The results of a sliding or osseous genioplasty are dramatic, making the face and its other features more proportional. A genioplasty can move the patient’s chin forward or backward, up or down and even make it wider and more square or narrower and more rounded. […]

Every surgery involves the creation of wounds, which leads to scarring. The extent to which the skin is scarred depends on how well the body is able to heal. The natural healing process consists of three stages: the inflammatory, proliferative and remodeling phase.INFLAMMATORY PHASEDuring the inflammatory phase your body releases agents called “mediators.” Mediators begin to bring fibroblasts — cells that help improve the skin’s structural framework — to the site of the wound. Fibroblasts are the most common cell type found in animals and are instrumental in promoting healthy wound healing.
PROLIFERATIVE PHASEDuring this phase, the fibroblasts begin to secrete […]
