What recent reviews say

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.

Recent shift: Sentiment has declined notably over the past 2-3 months. Early-to-mid 2024 reviews consistently praise results and care. Recent reviews (past month) describe serious post-op communication failures, unaddressed rippling affecting at least nine patients, and unwanted use of patient photos without consent.

Praised for
  • attentive, caring staff
  • skilled surgeons (Lista, Austin, Ho)
  • excellent aftercare and follow-up
  • natural-looking results for many
  • personable, in-person consultations
Watch-outs
  • missed post-op follow-ups
  • extreme rippling in implants (multiple patients)
  • large, uneven scars
  • consultation by nurse, not doctor
  • poor communication on issues
  • no consent for photo use

Best for: Patients seeking breast augmentation or body contouring who prioritize initial in-person consultation and detailed post-op communication.
Think twice if: Multiple recent patients report missed follow-up appointments, extreme rippling in specific implant placements, and unresponsive communication after discharge.

What is the price range for breast augmentation?
Recent reviews cite $14,500 to $17,000 CAD. One reviewer noted the clinic is among the most expensive doctors in Toronto.
How long has the clinic been operating?
The business states over 30 years in practice.

Dr. Frank Lista

2.9(57)

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+).

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.
