Richmond Hill has 15 clinics offering plastic surgery, ranging from solo surgeon practices to larger cosmetic centers that pair surgical work with non-surgical treatments like injectables and laser. Some focus almost entirely on reconstructive cases (post-mastectomy reconstruction, scar revision, skin cancer repair), while others lean into elective cosmetic procedures such as rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, tummy tucks, and facelifts. Many do both.
Before booking a consultation, confirm the surgeon's credentials directly rather than taking a clinic's marketing at face value. In Canada, that means checking they're certified in plastic surgery by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and licensed with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. Ask where procedures are performed: accredited hospitals or accredited private surgical facilities are the standard, not a converted office space. A clinic that's upfront about complication rates, revision policies, and realistic recovery timelines is generally more trustworthy than one that only shows polished before-and-after photos.
Our scoring weighs verified credentials, facility accreditation, consultation transparency, and patient feedback patterns rather than star ratings alone.
