Plastic Surgeon in Ottawa

Plastic Surgeon in Ontario

Ottawa has 25 practicing plastic surgeons listed in this category, covering everything from reconstructive work after injury or cancer treatment to elective cosmetic procedures like rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, tummy tucks, and facial rejuvenation. Some surgeons split their time between hospital reconstructive cases and private cosmetic clinics, while others run cosmetic-only practices. Knowing which type you need is the first step, since a surgeon who mostly does hand reconstruction after trauma isn't necessarily the right fit for a facelift, and vice versa.

What to look for before booking a consultation

Certification matters more in this field than almost any other medical service. In Canada, look for a surgeon certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in plastic surgery, and check whether procedures are performed in an accredited facility. Beyond credentials, pay attention to how a surgeon communicates during the consultation: do they explain risks and realistic outcomes clearly, do they show before-and-after photos of their own patients, and do they ask about your medical history in detail. A surgeon who rushes a consultation or pressures you toward add-on procedures is a red flag.

Ottawa Plastic Surgery
4.8(255)✓ Google-verified

Patients consistently report feeling well cared for from first visit through recovery, with multiple surgeons earning praise for their skill and ability to deliver results that look natural and match what patients envisioned. The clinic's staff, named repeatedly in reviews, stand out for their warmth, professionalism, and follow-through-from front desk greetings to post-operative support, often with same-day or after-hours responses to patient questions. The practice serves a wide range of procedures including breast work, facial surgery, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, and gender-affirming care. Gender-affirming patients specifically mention feeling heard and supported through multi-year journeys. Recovery experiences vary (one patient reported minimal pain at 2/10), but the facility itself-described as modern and efficiently run-contributes to a high-standard experience throughout the surgical pathway.

Victoria Park Medispa - Ottawa
4.7(623)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Staff and doctors earn consistent praise for professionalism and attentiveness, with reviewers noting responsive care and strong results across dermatology and cosmetic treatments. The clinic maintains high standards of cleanliness and offers a broad range of non-surgical options; phone access can be slower, though callbacks arrive within reasonable time.

The Best You (Ottawa West) - Medical Cosmetics & Aesthetics Clinic
4.9(74)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Patients consistently return for personalized skin treatments and injectables, praising staff like Lisa and Dr. Lockman for their expertise and care. A 15-year regular cites first-class treatments tailored to individual skin types; another recovered from laser disappointment elsewhere and credits careful explanation and visible results across six sessions.

Ottawa Derm Centre
4.8(905)✓ Google-verified

Patients consistently praise the team's professionalism, attentiveness, and calm bedside manner. Surgeons Dr. Brownrigg and Dr. Chitte and staff like Cheryl, Amber, and Heather earn particular mention. Modern facilities, free parking, and transparent consultations draw loyal patients, though one laser treatment complaint surfaces.

Dr. Photis Loizides
5.0(37)✓ Google-verified

Every review is five stars. Patients describe feeling genuinely cared for, never rushed, and supported from consultation through recovery. Dr. Loizides combines technical precision with patience and kindness; Emily, his coordinator, earns separate praise for responsiveness and professionalism.

AestheteMD
4.6(112)✓ Google-verified

Dr. Javidnia and her team earn consistent praise for surgical skill, warm bedside manner, and responsiveness through recovery. Reviewers consistently mention natural results across rhinoplasty, facelifts, eyelid surgery, and injectables, with staff named for expertise (Helen with injectables, Kathy with microneedling). One reviewer noted disappointment when results fell short of expectations and additional treatments were recommended. The clinic operates in a bright, clean facility in Old Ottawa East and handles everything from initial consultation through long-term follow-up care. Most reviewers feel thoroughly supported from pre-op through recovery, though one cautioned that pre-surgery contact with the surgeon occurs mainly at the initial consultation and immediately before the procedure.

Dr. Sean Smith Plastic Surgery
4.7(37)✓ Google-verified

Most patients report precise surgical outcomes and recovery, backed by Dr. Smith's attentive listening during consultations and his team's quick responses to post-op concerns. A small number faced serious conflict over revision surgery commitments and experienced dismissive follow-up communication, though the vast majority praise his skill with breast reduction, top surgery, and facial procedures across multiple body types and gender identities.

HY Cosmetics & Minor Surgery
5.0(9)✓ Google-verified

All nine reviews award five stars. Patients describe Dr. Zhang and Dr. Lee as skilled and patient, with Dr. Lee's blepharoplasty and CO2 laser work praised for invisible scarring and real results. The new Riverside South clinic is noted as fresh and thoughtfully designed. Staff members Jenna and Jasmine are called efficient and kind. Booking is quick; one patient got an appointment within a week of inquiry.

Gloria Rockwell MD
5.0(13)✓ Google-verified

Dr. Rockwell consistently delivers strong surgical results across breast reconstruction, implant revision, and hand surgery, with reviewers repeatedly highlighting her thorough explanations and genuine care throughout the patient journey. Her team maintains the same attentive standard from first appointment through follow-up, making complex cases feel supported and well-managed.

Dr. Simon Chan, Plastic Surgery
4.3(30)✓ Google-verified

Most reviewers praise Dr. Chan for skillful hand and wrist work, especially trigger finger releases and carpal tunnel surgery, with patients noting excellent healing and minimal scars. His warm demeanor and patient explanations earn consistent mentions, though a few flag office accessibility and one complaint about unwillingness to refer elsewhere for conditions outside his scope.

Dr. Ronnie Borsuk

#12Dr. Ronnie Borsuk

73 low data
5.0(15)✓ Google-verified

All 15 reviews award five stars. Patients consistently praise Dr. Borsuk's surgical skill, particularly the cleanliness of scarring and precision of work across tummy tucks, breast work, and reconstructive procedures. His calm, attentive manner and responsive team-staff members Christine and Tasha are named-stand out as major strengths, especially for nervous patients.

Trefor Nodwell, MD CM, FRCSC
4.9(16)✓ Google-verified

Four years after extended abdominoplasty, a patient still credits Dr. Nodwell with life-changing results and the emotional confidence that followed. Across breast reductions, augmentations, implant removals, and body contouring, reviewers consistently mention his calm bedside manner, detailed explanations, and willingness to respect patient goals without upselling. His team, particularly Emily, consistently draws praise for quick responses and compassionate support throughout the process.

Ottawa Plastic Surgery: Dr. Kirsty Boyd
4.8(18)✓ Google-verified

Dr. Boyd's clinic earns strong marks for thoughtful consultation, skilled work, and a team that makes patients feel heard and cared for. One reviewer waited over a year for a revision appointment with unresolved concerns, tempering the otherwise consistent praise for professionalism and results.

Dr. Michel Gallant MD, FRCSC
4.1(18)✓ Google-verified

Strong majority of patients report excellent results and comfort under Dr. Gallant's care, with particular praise for body contouring and breast surgery outcomes. However, several reviewers describe insensitive consultations and unaddressed post-operative complications, suggesting inconsistency in patient care and communication.

Dr. David R Jordan
3.5(44)✓ Google-verified

Dr. Jordan's technical skill in eye surgery and reconstructive procedures draws strong praise, particularly from patients with complex conditions like Graves disease or cancer-related removal. Yet a sharp split emerges: satisfied patients highlight minimal pain, skilled nursing, and thorough aftercare; dissatisfied ones report he becomes defensive when questioned, refuses second procedures patients request, and has terminated relationships with patients seeking clarification on treatment. Office staff inconsistency and cancellation policies add friction.

Dr. Peter Brownrigg

#17Dr. Peter Brownrigg

58 low data
3.8(41)✓ Google-verified

Five-star reviews praise Dr. Brownrigg's rhinoplasties and non-surgical work (Botox noted as consistently excellent), plus scar-prevention expertise. One-star reviews center on rhinoplasties that looked unchanged from pre-surgery, despite 3D imaging promises and thousands spent. Patients reported steroid injections offered but ineffective, and say concerns were dismissed rather than addressed constructively. Evidence is thin overall: detail limited to recent rhinoplasty failures, Botox praise, facelift satisfaction, and reconstructive breathing improvements.

Dr. Corliss Best, Facial Aesthetic Surgery
5.0(15)✓ Google-verified

All 15 reviews are five-star. Patients consistently report that Dr. Best listens carefully, explains procedures clearly, and delivers results that exceed expectations-from rhinoplasty breathing improvements to nearly invisible scar revision. Her team, including assistant Shanthi, creates a welcoming clinic atmosphere.

Dr. Sachin Chitte MD, FRCSC
4.0(16)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Most reviewers praise Dr. Chitte's surgical skill, especially for hand trauma and breast reconstruction, noting his patience and careful listening. However, a persistent thread of complaints spans years: delayed or missing referrals to physio and family doctors, unreturned voicemails, and long in-office waits. Administrative friction appears to have worsened after a clinic transition.

DJ

#20Dr. Jing Zhang MD, FRCSC

52 low data
3.1(12)✓ Google-verified

Dr. Zhang's surgical skill, especially in microsurgery and scar minimization, earns strong praise from patients satisfied with reconstruction outcomes. However, multiple reviewers report abrupt, dismissive, or condescending interactions during consultations and procedures, incomplete postop communication, and follow-up that sometimes fell short of promises.

Sure Hair Transplants Ottawa
5.0(1)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

One five-star review praised the phone experience and felt heard, though no service details emerged yet. Evidence is thin.

Common questions about plastic surgeon

How much does plastic surgery cost in Ottawa?
Costs vary widely by procedure. Reconstructive surgery tied to a medical need is typically covered by OHIP, while elective cosmetic procedures are paid out of pocket. Cosmetic consultations usually run $100 to $250 (sometimes credited toward the procedure if you go ahead), and procedures themselves can range from a few thousand dollars for smaller work like eyelid surgery to well over $10,000 for combined procedures like a mommy makeover. Always get a written quote that itemizes surgeon fees, facility fees, and anesthesia.
How do I judge the quality of a plastic surgeon?
Check that they're certified in plastic surgery specifically (not just a general medical license), ask how many times they've performed the exact procedure you want, and look at their own before-and-after photos rather than stock images. A good surgeon will also discuss what could go wrong, not just the ideal outcome, and will tell you honestly if you're not a good candidate for a procedure.
What should I expect at a first consultation?
Expect a review of your medical history, a physical examination relevant to the procedure, a discussion of realistic outcomes and risks, and a clear breakdown of cost and recovery time. You should leave with a written plan, not just a verbal estimate. If a surgeon can't clearly explain the recovery timeline or potential complications, that's worth asking about again before booking.
How often do people need follow-up procedures?
It depends heavily on the procedure. Implant-based breast surgery, for example, often needs revision or replacement after 10 to 20 years, while procedures like rhinoplasty or eyelid surgery are usually one-time unless complications arise. Your surgeon should walk you through the expected lifespan of the results during your consultation.
