Cosmetic Surgeon in Ontario
Cosmetic surgery covers surgical procedures done to change how a healthy body looks, rather than to treat disease or injury. In Ontario that includes facelifts, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation or reduction, tummy tucks, liposuction, eyelid surgery, and body contouring after major weight loss. It's distinct from reconstructive plastic surgery, though many surgeons in this directory do both. We've listed 75 cosmetic surgeons practicing across the province, from downtown Toronto clinics to practices in Ottawa, Hamilton, London, and other cities.
What to check before booking a consultation
Credentials matter more here than in almost any other service category, because outcomes are permanent and complication risk is real. Confirm the surgeon is certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in plastic surgery, and that any facility used for surgery under sedation or general anesthetic is accredited (through Accreditation Canada or a similar body). Ask how many times they've performed the specific procedure you want, what their revision rate looks like, and who handles complications after hours. A good consultation should cover realistic outcomes, not just before-and-after photos of the best cases.

Common questions about cosmetic surgeon
- How much does cosmetic surgery cost in Ontario?
- It varies widely by procedure and isn't covered by OHIP since it's elective. Simpler procedures like eyelid surgery or minor liposuction often start in the low thousands, while facelifts, breast augmentation, or tummy tucks commonly run higher once anesthesia, facility fees, and follow-up care are included. Get a written quote that itemizes surgeon fee, facility fee, and anesthesia separately so you can compare across clinics.
- How often do people need repeat or revision surgery?
- This depends heavily on the procedure and surgeon experience. Implant-based breast surgery, for example, may need revision after 10-15 years due to implant lifespan, while facial procedures can be revisited as aging continues. Ask your surgeon directly what their personal revision rate is for the procedure you're considering.
- What should I expect at the first consultation?
- Expect a physical assessment, a discussion of your medical history and any medications, a realistic conversation about what the surgery can and can't achieve, and a review of risks and recovery time. A reputable surgeon won't pressure you to book on the spot and will give you time to think it over.
- How can I judge the quality of a cosmetic surgeon before choosing one?
- Look past marketing photos. Check their certification status, ask about hospital privileges (which signal peer-reviewed competence), read patient reviews for comments on communication and aftercare, and ask specifically how complications are handled. Our scoring on this page weighs these same factors so you can compare practices side by side.
