Markham has 15 practices offering cosmetic surgery, ranging from solo surgeon clinics to larger multi-provider facilities that also handle reconstructive and skin care work. Cosmetic surgery covers a wide range of procedures: facelifts, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation or reduction, tummy tucks, liposuction, eyelid surgery, and increasingly, less invasive options like injectables and laser treatments offered alongside surgical services. Some clinics focus on facial procedures, others on body contouring, and a few offer both under one roof.
What to check before booking a consultation
Credentials matter more here than in almost any other service category. Look for a surgeon certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in plastic surgery specifically, not just a general medical license. Ask where procedures are performed: accredited surgical facilities have oversight that a converted office room does not. Get clarity on total cost upfront, including anesthesia, facility fees, and follow-up visits, since quoted "surgeon fees" often leave those out. Before and after photos of the surgeon's own patients (not stock images) tell you more than a glossy website. A good consultation should include an honest discussion of risks and realistic outcomes, not just a sales pitch.
How we score these practices
Our ranking weighs credentials, facility accreditation, consultation quality, patient outcomes reported, and consistency of reviews over time, rather than just star averages.
