Plastic Surgeon in Ontario
Plastic surgery in Aurora covers two broad categories: cosmetic procedures people choose electively (facelifts, breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, liposuction, tummy tucks) and reconstructive work tied to injury, illness, or congenital issues (post-mastectomy reconstruction, scar revision, skin cancer repair). Some surgeons in the area focus heavily on one side of that split, others handle both, so the first question to answer is which kind of care you actually need before you start comparing names.
Once you know what you're after, the real work is vetting who does the cutting. Confirm board certification through the American Board of Plastic Surgery, not just a state medical license, since those are two different things and the distinction matters. Ask where procedures are performed (accredited surgical facility or hospital versus an office suite), who administers anesthesia, and what the surgeon's revision rate looks like for the specific procedure you want. Before-and-after photos of the surgeon's own patients, not stock images, tell you more than a glossy website ever will. A good consultation should include a frank conversation about risks, recovery time, and realistic outcomes, not just a sales pitch.

Common questions about plastic surgeon
- How much does plastic surgery typically cost in Aurora?
- It varies widely by procedure and surgeon experience. Cosmetic procedures are usually paid out of pocket since insurance doesn't cover them, with facial procedures and body contouring often running into five figures once you add facility fees, anesthesia, and follow-up care. Reconstructive surgery tied to a medical diagnosis (like post-cancer reconstruction) is frequently covered in part by insurance. Get a full written quote that breaks out surgeon fee, facility fee, and anesthesia separately so you're not comparing incomplete numbers between practices.
- How often do people need follow-up procedures?
- It depends on the surgery. Breast implants, for example, aren't lifetime devices and many patients need a revision or replacement after 10 to 15 years. Reconstructive work sometimes requires staged procedures planned from the start. A surgeon who's upfront about the likelihood of future touch-ups during your consultation is generally more trustworthy than one who implies a single procedure is permanent when that's not typically true.
- What should I expect during recovery?
- Recovery timelines depend heavily on the procedure: facial work often has visible swelling and bruising for 1 to 2 weeks, while body procedures like tummy tucks can mean weeks of limited activity and months until final results settle. Ask your surgeon for a specific week-by-week recovery outline, including when you can return to work and exercise, rather than a vague estimate.
- How can I judge the quality of a plastic surgeon before committing?
- Check board certification, ask to see a portfolio of the surgeon's own patient results for your specific procedure, and ask directly about complication and revision rates. Read how clearly they explain risks during the consultation. A surgeon who rushes the consultation or avoids specifics about your case is a red flag regardless of how polished their marketing looks.
