Toronto has 58 practices listed under plastic surgeons, ranging from solo clinics focused on facial procedures to larger surgical centers that handle everything from breast surgery and body contouring to reconstructive work after injury or mastectomy. The field splits broadly into cosmetic procedures (rhinoplasty, breast augmentation or lift, tummy tucks, liposuction, facelifts) and reconstructive procedures (scar revision, reconstruction after cancer surgery, burn or trauma repair). Some surgeons do both, others specialize.
What to look for before booking a consultation
Credentials matter more here than in almost any other service category. In Ontario, look for a surgeon certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in plastic surgery, and check that the facility where surgery happens is accredited if it's not a hospital. Beyond that, pay attention to how a surgeon handles the consultation itself: do they explain risks and realistic outcomes clearly, do they show you their own before-and-after cases (not stock photos), and do they talk you out of procedures that aren't a good fit rather than just booking you in. Anesthesia safety, revision policies, and post-op support (who you call at 2am if something feels wrong) are worth asking about directly.
