Breast surgery covers a range of procedures: augmentation with implants or fat transfer, breast lift (mastopexy), reduction, and revision work to correct or update a previous surgery. Each has different goals, recovery timelines, and risks, so the right choice depends on your anatomy, what you want the outcome to look like, and whether you're addressing cosmetic preference, asymmetry, sagging after weight change or breastfeeding, or back and shoulder pain from overly large breasts. In Markham, 16 practices offer some combination of these procedures, ranging from dedicated cosmetic surgery clinics to broader plastic surgery practices that also handle reconstructive cases.
Because this is an invasive procedure with permanent or long-lasting results, the surgeon's credentials matter more than almost anything else in this category. Look for board certification in plastic surgery specifically (not a general cosmetic medicine certificate), hospital operating privileges, and before-and-after photos of patients with a body type similar to yours. Ask where the surgery takes place: an accredited surgical facility or hospital is safer than an office-based procedure room for anything beyond minor work. A good consult should cover implant type and placement (or the details of a lift or reduction plan), realistic sizing, scar location, expected downtime, and what happens if you need a revision later.
Our scoring weighs verified credentials, patient feedback, transparency around pricing and consultation practices, and consistency of results across cases, so you can compare practices on more than just marketing photos.
