Plastic surgery covers both reconstructive work (repairing tissue after injury, cancer surgery, or congenital conditions) and cosmetic procedures chosen to change appearance, such as breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, facelifts, liposuction, and tummy tucks. Hamilton has 15 clinics offering some combination of these services, ranging from hospital-affiliated surgical practices to standalone cosmetic clinics with their own accredited operating facilities. The right fit depends heavily on what you're having done, since not every clinic handles every procedure, and complexity varies a lot between a minor filler appointment and a full surgical reconstruction under general anaesthetic.
What to check before booking
Start with the surgeon's credentials: in Canada, look for certification with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and membership in the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons. Ask where the surgery itself happens, hospital, accredited private surgical facility, or clinic-based procedure room, since accreditation matters for anaesthesia safety. Get clarity on total cost up front, including surgeon's fee, facility fee, anaesthesiologist, and any revision policy. A good clinic will walk you through realistic outcomes, recovery timelines, and risks rather than just showing you flattering before-and-after photos.
