Cosmetic Procedures

Patients seeking cosmetic plastic surgery in Vancouver require specialized care that balances aesthetic goals with rigorous medical safety. British Columbia maintains stringent regulations for private-pay out-patient surgical centers. Procedures must be performed by specialists holding the FRCSC designation from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

Whether you reside in Kitsilano, Yaletown, or travel from surrounding municipalities like Surrey and Richmond, accessing a fully accredited Vancouver surgical clinic guarantees your procedure meets top-tier Canadian healthcare standards. We provide comprehensive aesthetic interventions across three primary anatomical categories: facial rejuvenation, breast enhancement, and body contouring.

Facial Rejuvenation

Facial plastic surgery demands exact anatomical knowledge and an understanding of underlying bone structure, muscle laxity, and subcutaneous fat distribution. As skin loses elasticity and facial volume depletes over time, surgical interventions address deep tissue ptosis rather than merely stretching the epidermal layers.

Brow Lift (Forehead Lift) Surgery

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic facial surgery that raises sagging forehead skin, smooths horizontal forehead lines, and softens frown lines between the eyes. This procedure focuses on the upper third of the face. By adjusting the skin, fat, and muscle, a brow lift creates a more open, rested …

Buccal Fat Removal (Cheek Reduction)

Full lower cheeks can make an otherwise slim face look rounder and softer than you feel. If you have spent years being told you have a “baby face” or “chipmunk cheeks,” you have probably noticed that diet and exercise do almost nothing to change it. That is because the fullness usually comes from a buccal …

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

If you have ears that stick out, feel too large, or have a torn earlobe, you are not alone. Many people in Vancouver, BC look for ear surgery, also called otoplasty, to feel more at ease with how their ears look. This procedure reshapes, resizes, or repositions the ears so they sit in better balance …

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But they are also the very first place to show signs of getting older. The skin around your eyes is incredibly thin. This means it stretches and loses its snap much faster than the rest of your face. If you constantly look tired, sad, or …

Facelift Surgery (Rhytidectomy)

Facial aging involves more than just superficial skin laxity; it represents a complex, multi-layered structural shift. A facelift, clinically known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to correct these profound anatomical changes by repositioning underlying muscles, removing excess skin, and restoring youthful facial contours. We aim to provide patients with comprehensive, objective information …

Facial Fat Grafting (Fat Transfer)

Facial aging is not only about wrinkles. The face also loses fullness as the years pass. The temples may look hollow, the cheeks may flatten, and deeper folds can form around the mouth. Weight loss, genetics, injury, and past surgery can also change facial volume. Facial fat grafting in Vancouver, BC restores selected areas with …

Lip Lift Surgery

If you have ever felt that your upper lip looks long, flat, or thin, you are not alone. Many people in Vancouver come to us wanting fuller, more youthful lips but discover that lip filler is not the right fix for them. A lip lift in Vancouver can be a better, longer lasting choice. Instead …

Neck Lift (Lower Rhytidectomy)

A neck lift, clinically classified as a lower rhytidectomy, is a specialized aesthetic surgical procedure designed to restore a firm, youthful contour to the jawline and the anterior neck. For individuals considering a neck lift in Vancouver, this procedure addresses the fundamental structural changes caused by the natural aging process. Over time, dermal tissues lose …

Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)

Your nose sits at the centre of your face. When you feel it is too large, crooked, or out of balance, it can be hard to think about anything else in photos or in the mirror. Nose surgery, known clinically as rhinoplasty and often called a “nose job,” reshapes the bone, cartilage, and soft tissue …

Facelift and Neck Lift (Rhytidectomy)

A facelift removes excess skin and tightens the underlying SMAS layer to restore contour to the lower face and jawline. When combined with a neck lift, the procedure addresses platysmal banding and submental fullness for a cohesive, youthful profile.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Blepharoplasty excises redundant skin and conservative amounts of orbital fat from the upper or lower eyelids. This operation resolves under-eye bagging and upper eyelid hooding, creating an alert, refreshed periorbital region without altering the fundamental shape of the eye.

Rhinoplasty (Nasal Reshaping)

Rhinoplasty modifies the bone and cartilage framework of the nose to improve aesthetic proportions or correct structural breathing issues like a deviated septum. Surgeons use either an open or closed surgical technique depending on the required tip refinement and dorsal hump reduction.

Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)

This procedure elevates drooping eyebrows that crowd the upper eyes and smooths deep transverse forehead rhytids. Endoscopic approaches utilize small incisions hidden behind the hairline for minimal scarring and faster recovery.

Breast Enhancement Surgery

Breast aesthetic surgery addresses volume loss, asymmetry, and tissue ptosis caused by genetics, pregnancy, or significant weight fluctuations. The goal is to create proportional contouring that aligns with the patient’s natural chest wall dimensions and overall body frame.

Vancouver clinics utilize Health Canada-approved medical devices, including highly cohesive silicone gel implants and sterile saline variants. Surgical planning involves detailed biometric measurements to determine the optimal implant profile, base width, and pocket placement—either subglandular (above the chest muscle) or subpectoral (below the muscle).

Breast Augmentation (Augmentation Mammaplasty)

Augmentation increases breast volume and improves symmetry using silicone or saline implants. The procedure requires careful selection of incision sites—typically inframammary (under the breast fold) or periareolar—to minimize visible scarring while optimizing precise implant placement.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A mastopexy elevates the nipple-areolar complex to a more youthful position on the chest wall and tightens surrounding breast tissue. It is frequently combined with augmentation for patients experiencing both severe ptosis and postpartum volume depletion.

Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)

Reduction mammaplasty removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin to alleviate physical symptoms like chronic neck and back pain. The surgery reshapes the remaining tissue to create a lighter, lifted, and more proportionate breast contour.

Breast Implant Revision

Revision surgery removes or replaces existing breast implants due to capsular contracture, implant rupture, or a desire for a different size. The operation often involves capsulectomy (removal of scar tissue) and pocket modification to restore optimal aesthetics.

Body Contouring and Sculpting

Body contouring procedures remove excess skin and localized adiposity that do not respond to targeted diet and exercise regimens. These surgeries are highly utilized by patients completing massive weight loss journeys or those seeking to reverse abdominal changes after multiple pregnancies.

Surgeons manipulate the superficial fascia and subcutaneous fat layers to restore a tight, defined physique. Operations like abdominoplasty also repair underlying muscle diastasis (separation), which improves core stability alongside the aesthetic benefit.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Abdominoplasty surgically excises loose abdominal skin and sutures separated rectus abdominis muscles back together. The resulting core is flatter, firmer, and features a carefully repositioned umbilicus.

Liposuction (Fat Removal)

Liposuction employs hollow cannulas and tumescent fluid to permanently extract localized fat cells. It is not a weight-loss tool but a precise sculpting method to define areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, back, and neck.

Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover is a bespoke combination of procedures—typically a tummy tuck paired with a breast lift or augmentation. Performing these surgeries concurrently during a single general anesthesia session reduces overall recovery time and consolidates out-patient facility fees.

Body Lift and Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Circumferential body lifts address severe skin laxity around the entire torso, hips, and buttocks, usually following bariatric surgery. Brachioplasty specifically removes hanging skin from the upper arms, leaving a discreet scar along the inner arm contour.

Service Areas

Board-certified plastic surgeons provide out-patient aesthetic procedures to patients across Metro Vancouver. Clinics frequently consult with residents from Downtown Vancouver, West Point Grey, Kitsilano, and the North Shore, as well as patients traveling from Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond, and Surrey to access top-tier surgical expertise.
