One of the most important factors in how a plastic surgeon might help you formulate your aesthetic goals during your initial consultation for a facelift surgery is a concept known as the Golden Ratio, which might also be called the Divine Proportion. While this all sounds very fancy and a bit nebulous or dreamy, it’s actually a standard of beauty which has its foundation in math and science.
If you’ve ever seen paintings or sculptures—particularly from the classical eras—and thought to yourself, “They look so beautiful!” that’s probably because the artist was following the rules of the Golden Ratio, a mathematical […]
Butt augmentation procedures have risen in popularity and many women who would like to have a plump and round bottom are seeking out skilled plastic surgeons to do the job. One of the most common types of butt augmentation procedures uses a process of fat grafting to provide the desired results. Below, we will go over just what fat grafting is and what you can expect.
What Is Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting is a procedure that takes fat from one area of the body and places it into another area of the body. For example, fat can be taken from your stomach […]
There are as many reasons why you may be dissatisfied with your chin as there are people in Toronto. You might have a receding chin that you feel makes you look doughy and unrefined. Perhaps you have an elongated chin that you were teased about when you were a child. We’ll discuss 4 reasons why you might be an ideal candidate for chin augmentation surgery in Toronto.
Receding Chin

With ongoing research dedicated to finding better and innovative procedures women have even more choices when it comes to getting their tummies tucked with abdominoplasty
The Floating Abdominoplasty or FAB Procedure
Using a small incision in the lower abdomen, this new tummy tuck surgery technique allows the tummy to be tightened and shaped with optimal results. Also referred to as an extended mini abdominoplasty, this procedure is an excellent option without the telltale signs as there is no incision around the belly button. Excess skin is removed through the incision; the belly button is temporarily detached and ‘floats’ above the muscles. This […]
As with any type of surgery, back liposuction can lead to complications that patients should be aware of before planning to move forward with the treatment. The sensitivity of the back’s skin and the manner in which fat collects in problem areas can make the area particularly difficult to treat. Even though the liposuction procedure is routine and can be safely performed, our Plastic Surgeons always exercise the utmost level of caution.
Some of the most common back liposuction complications include the following:HYPERPIGMENTATIONPerforming liposuction on the back carries a higher risk of hyperpigmented scarring (uneven or blotchy skin discolouration) than other […]

The back can be split up into different treatment areas.INFRA-SCAPULARThe infra-scapular back refers to the area of the back located just below the bra strap. Many women are genetically predisposed toward collecting fat in this region, a problem that can lead to prominent bulging when wearing a bra. When an individual’s weight continues to increase, this area will continue accumulating fat, leading to […]
FACE AND NECK
Localized fat that affects the face and/or neck can be especially frustrating as it is almost impossible to treat through exercise and diet alone (most exercises designed to help are ineffective and can even lead to wrinkle formation over time). Chubby cheeks, jowls, flabby necks and/or double chins can be treated with facial and neck liposuction. Advances in liposuction technology make removing fat from delicate areas of the face and neck safer than ever before, allowing for effective reduction or complete elimination of this aesthetically displeasing concern. You’ll find that your face looks more toned and balanced. Fat […]
Facial and neck liposuction is a popular procedure due to its ability to provide more natural-looking results than facelifts. For suitable patients, it can lead to fewer scars, carries less risk, and has a faster recovery period.Despite the many advantages of liposuction, some patients may not be suitable for the procedure. In cases where an individual presents larger neck skin folds and minimal subcutaneous fat, a facelift may be more appropriate.
Even though the procedure is usually referred to as “facial and neck liposuction,” we actually target other areas of the face when performing the surgery. These include regions such as […]
