What recent reviews say

Five-star reviewers praise Dr. Lista's expertise and staff warmth, but negative reviews spanning years dominate: botched breast augmentations, infections left untreated, 45-minute to 90-minute waits without updates, and a pattern of dismissive behavior during consultations. Several patients report sagging, asymmetry, or uneven scarring months to years post-op, and costs escalate sharply from phone quotes ($14,000) to final bills ($26,555+).

Praised for
  • skilled surgical work for some patients
  • kind and supportive staff
  • transparent advice during consultations
  • caring post-op nurses
Watch-outs
  • long wait times at appointments
  • dismissive or arrogant demeanor
  • botched results and poor scarring
  • lack of post-op support
  • price quotes that jump significantly at consultation

Think twice if: Long wait times, dismissive consultation style, and documented post-op complications may concern those prioritizing communication and predictable timelines.

  • Staff described as kind and supportive by satisfied patients

Worth knowing

  • Colleague Dr. Austin mentioned negatively in two reviews for rudeness

  • Staff member Ella mentioned by name for professionalism
  • Waits ranged from 45 minutes to 90 minutes without status updates

Most patients praise Dr. Lista and Dr. Austin's technical skill and the team's attentiveness, with many reporting dramatic transformations and smooth recoveries. However, several recent reviews report missed 4-6 month post-op appointments, extreme rippling across multiple patients implanted in the same location, large scars, and unresponsive communication when issues arise after discharge.

Skin Vitality Medical Clinic Mississauga

Skin Vitality Medical Clinic Mississauga

4.5(1471)✓ Google-verified

Skin Vitality wins consistent praise for its injectors' gentleness and natural results, along with a warm reception and detailed pre-treatment guidance. Multiple reviewers name staff like Navreek, Tanya, and Dr Milena as standouts. The main friction comes from pricing surprises (units billed higher than expected), botox outcomes that sometimes disappoint, and a sales-heavy approach with payment plans. Those chasing value see it as worthwhile; those burned by pricing or results feel dismissed by customer service. The clinic offers injectables, lasers, CoolSculpting, and skin treatments across a seven-day schedule. Their website lists service in Mississauga, Brampton, Etobicoke, and surrounding areas, claiming operation since 1992. Reviewers consistently name individual practitioners, suggesting continuity and personal care-when it clicks.
