Facial Plastic Surgery in Ontario
Facial plastic surgery in Ontario
Facial plastic surgery covers procedures that change the structure or appearance of the face and neck: rhinoplasty, facelifts, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lifts, chin and cheek implants, otoplasty (ear surgery), and revision work when an earlier surgery didn't heal well or didn't get the result a patient wanted. Some surgeons in this category also handle reconstructive work after trauma, skin cancer removal, or congenital conditions, alongside cosmetic cases. We've listed 43 providers across Ontario offering some combination of these services.
Before booking a consultation, check who's actually doing the cutting. In Ontario, look for a surgeon certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in plastic surgery, or otolaryngology (ENT) for many nose and facial procedures. Ask where the surgery happens (accredited hospital or surgical facility versus an uninspected clinic), who handles anesthesia, and what the plan is if something goes wrong during recovery. A good consultation should include a clear breakdown of risks, realistic before-and-after photos of the surgeon's own patients, and no pressure to book on the spot.
Our scoring pulls together verified credentials, patient feedback, transparency around pricing and consultations, and how a practice handles complaints. The full method is on our methodology page, so you can see exactly what goes into each score before comparing providers.

Common questions about facial plastic surgery
- How much does facial plastic surgery cost in Ontario?
- Cosmetic procedures aren't covered by OHIP, so pricing varies widely by surgeon, facility, and complexity. As a rough guide, rhinoplasty often runs from around $8,000 to $15,000+, eyelid surgery from $3,000 to $8,000 per area, and a full facelift can exceed $15,000 once anesthesia and facility fees are included. Reconstructive surgery tied to trauma or medical necessity may be partly or fully covered by OHIP if a referral confirms it's not purely cosmetic. Always get a written quote covering the surgeon's fee, facility fee, anesthesia, and any revision policy.
- How often do people need repeat procedures or touch-ups?
- It depends on the procedure. Rhinoplasty and facelift results are generally long-lasting but not permanent, since aging and gravity continue after surgery. Some patients choose a touch-up 10 to 15 years after a facelift. Revision rhinoplasty rates are higher than first-time surgery, partly because noses can shift slightly during healing. A surgeon who's upfront about the odds of needing a follow-up procedure is usually being realistic rather than overselling the first result.
- What should I expect during recovery?
- Most facial procedures involve swelling and bruising that peaks in the first few days and improves over one to two weeks, though final results can take several months to settle as internal swelling resolves. Expect time off work or social activities (commonly one to three weeks depending on the procedure), restrictions on exercise and sun exposure, and follow-up visits to check healing. Ask your surgeon for a written recovery timeline specific to your procedure rather than relying on general averages.
- How can I judge the quality of a facial plastic surgeon before booking?
- Confirm their certification through the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario's public register, look at a substantial portfolio of their own patient results (not stock photos), and see whether they operate in an accredited facility. Read patient feedback for mentions of clear communication, honest expectation-setting, and how the practice handles complications, not just the final photos.
