Breast augmentation and breast surgery in Ottawa
This category covers surgical procedures that change the size, shape, or position of the breasts. That includes augmentation with silicone or saline implants, fat transfer augmentation, breast lift (mastopexy), reduction, revision surgery on previous implants, and reconstruction after mastectomy. We've identified 26 businesses in the Ottawa area offering some or all of these procedures, ranging from dedicated cosmetic surgery clinics to hospital-affiliated plastic surgery practices.
These are operating-room procedures, usually done under general anesthesia, with recovery measured in weeks rather than days. The stakes are higher than most cosmetic services: you're choosing someone to make permanent changes to your body, and outcomes depend heavily on the surgeon's technique, judgment, and how well they listen to what you actually want.
What to check before you book
- Credentials: confirm the surgeon is certified in plastic surgery (not just a general practitioner offering cosmetic add-ons) and operates in an accredited surgical facility.
- Before-and-after photos of their own patients: ask for examples with body types similar to yours, not stock marketing images.
- A real consultation: a good surgeon examines your anatomy, discusses implant type/size or lift technique in detail, and is upfront about risks, revision rates, and recovery.
- Total cost clarity: the quote should include the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, facility fee, and any follow-up visits, not just a headline number.
- Complication handling: ask what happens if you need a revision, and whether that's covered or charged again.
Our scoring weighs review patterns, responsiveness, and consistency of patient feedback over time, so you can see which practices reliably deliver rather than relying on a handful of glowing testimonials.
