Once upon a time, a high forehead was considered a sign of intelligence—at least among then men and even some women in power. This is especially true of the 1800s, when Queen Elizabeth I and her contemporaries would shave the front of their heads to make their foreheads look longer. These days, that trend is …

Most plastic surgeons are trained to look at a face from the front and make their assessment and recommendations based on this one angle. And when they look in the mirror, many facial plastic surgery patients in Toronto do the same thing. Although we all know that the frontal view is the most important, one …

One thing I've learned throughout my career as a plastic surgeon here in Toronto is that the most powerful facial trait combination has to be the nose-chin relationship. The beautiful proportions in both the frontal and profile views are critical to beauty, for both men and women. Noses should be straight, no doubt about this. Refined and …

Chin augmentation, using chin implants or fillers, plays a crucial role in facial aesthetics. Here in Toronto, chin augmentation can be a procedure on its own--or can be combined with other procedures such as a rhinoplasty, a neck lift, a facelift, or any other plastic surgery procedure for the face or body. The shape, size, height, and width …

In both men and women, fuller, “cherubim-looking” cheeks have always been associated with youth. Unfortunately, not everyone was granted full and high cheekbones at birth except, perhaps certain runway models. (Unless they also visited VISAGE Clinic already!) Several years ago, cheek implants became popular here in Toronto. But they were later partially eclipsed by the arrival …

No matter how much we weigh as we get older, there are 2 areas in the face that always lose volume: the tear troughs and the temples. I have solutions for both: facial implants. At my Toronto practice, in the Yorkville neighborhood, I'm seeing more patients interested in solutions that are more permanent than facial …

Most people are familiar with chin and cheek implants but facial implants can augment many other areas, as well, such as jaw implants. At my Toronto practice, I can use implants to enhance the temple (for hollowed aging temples), nose (to augment the dorsum), mid-face and peri-nasal (common in Asians to augment their recessed mid-face), tear trough …

Having a chin or cheek dimple is usually genetic and can be loved and adored, or unwanted. People who are not interested in their dimples will come to me, and using a subcision technique and facial fillers such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® in my Toronto or Yorkville office, the cleft — or dimple — can be corrected. It …

My own mother, who is a grandmother, has been feeling "left out” as she keeps reading about my famous Toronto mommy makeovers. And she is right, of course; she is my mother. She is right because I should also discuss what is available to our healthy, young-hearted grandmothers. Humour aside, there is no doubt that grandmothers …

During my 15 years of experience in Toronto, I have categorized recovery from plastic surgery into 3 types, and the 3 often overlap: the functional part, the pain & discomfort part, and the “social” part. The functional part is important for my body surgeries such as tummy tuck; buttock, pectoral and calf implants; liposuction; breast augmentation; etc. As far as …
