Toronto is a city of diversity — in heritage, in features, in backgrounds. Faces differ in shape, skin type, proportions, and histories. At EyeFACE Institute, we understand that no two faces are alike. We believe facial plastic surgery is not about enforcing a generic idea of beauty, but about restoring harmony, function, and confidence in a way that honors the individual behind the mirror.
As Canada’s leading eyelid & facial plastic surgery practice—performing over 1,500 procedures each year—EyeFACE has built its reputation on specialization, precision, and compassionate patient-focused care.
What Exactly Is a Facial Plastic Surgeon?
A facial plastic surgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in surgery of the face, nose, eyelids, skin, and underlying structures. Their domain includes aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery, reconstructive surgery (for injury or congenital differences), and functional surgery (to improve breathing, vision, etc.).
At EyeFACE, our surgeons are trained not only in the technical skills of operating, but in deep understanding of facial anatomy, skin biology, aesthetics, aging, wound healing, and tissue dynamics. This ensures that when you consult with us, you are meeting someone who sees how small changes can make profound impacts — for how you look and how you feel.
What is Facial Plastic Surgery in Toronto?
Facial plastic surgery refers to any surgical procedure that alters, enhances, or restores part of the face. Here in Toronto, patients come to EyeFACE Institute seeking facial plastic surgery for many reasons:
- Rejuvenation: reducing wrinkles, lifting sagging skin, restoring youthful contours.
- Refinement: improving proportions (e.g. brow lift, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty).
- Restoration: repairing damage from trauma, correcting congenital asymmetries, or restoring function (breathing, vision, etc.).
- Confidence & identity: aligning your external appearance with how you feel inside.
At EyeFACE, facial plastic surgery treatments include — but are not limited to — facelift, brow lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), rhinoplasty, and skin- and tissue-based rejuvenation procedures. Each procedure is tailored to your anatomy, skin type, lifestyle, and what you wish to achieve.
Why Choose EyeFACE Institute for Facial Plastic Surgery in Toronto
Given many options, why do patients choose EyeFACE? The difference is in our philosophy, team, and process.
- Deep specialization in face & eyelids
EyeFACE doesn’t try to be everything for everyone. Our exclusive focus is on facial plastic surgery and oculoplastic surgery. This deep specialization means our surgeons do very many facial procedures, allowing refined technique, better aesthetic judgment, and few shortcuts.
- Multidisciplinary expertise
Our team includes facial plastic surgeons, oculoplastic surgeons, dermatologists, and other specialists. This helps ensure that aesthetics and function both get addressed (e.g., eyelid function, breathing, vision, skin health). You’re not just getting a surgeon who works in isolation—you’re getting a team. - Safety, Accreditation, and Modern Facility
Patient safety is foundational. We perform these surgeries in an accredited facility, with attention to anesthesia safety, sterile technique, staff training, and technology support. Toronto’s medical regulatory environment is stringent, and EyeFACE adheres strictly to standards. - Personalized Planning & Natural Results
We know that what you consider an ideal nose, or eyelid shape, or facial contour depends on your face, your proportions, your culture, your desires. In consultation, we spend time understanding your vision, your skin, your structure. We provide image simulations, examine how features relate (e.g. how nose shape interacts with your cheek and chin), and recommend what is realistic. Our goal is natural, balanced results — enhancements that feel authentic to you. - Comprehensive Care & Aftercare
Surgery is an investment — in time, healing, cost, emotion. EyeFACE supports patients before, during, and after surgery: discussing expectations, pain or swelling, healing time, possible scarring, function, and results over time (often months).
Common Facial Plastic Procedures Offered in Toronto by EyeFACE
Here are some of the most requested procedures, and what patients typically need to consider with each:
- Facelift & Neck Lift
To address sagging skin, jowls, and loss of jawline definition. Options include varying degrees of dissection, use of underlying tissues (SMAS layer), and combining with skin resurfacing. Healing involves bruising, swelling; results evolve over months. - Brow Lift / Forehead Lift
To elevate drooping brows, reduce forehead wrinkles, smooth out frown lines. Can open the eye area, enhance appearance of alertness. Must balance brow lift with potential changes in forehead shape and skin stretch. - Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Upper and/or lower eyelid surgery to remove excess skin/fat, reduce puffiness or bags, improve eyelid function if heavy skin droops over lashes. Healing here is delicate, since eyelids are thin and visible; minimal scarring and symmetry are major priorities. - Rhinoplasty
Nose reshaping to refine tip, reduce hump, improve symmetry, or enhance breathing. Because nose sits centrally, even small changes influence the whole face. Our surgeons align cosmetic goals with nasal airflow and structural integrity. - Skin & Tissue Rejuvenation / Lesion Removal
Sometimes the need is less alteration and more refinement – removing lesions, smoothing scars, restoring volume. These may be part of your facial plastic plan, or stand alone treatments.
The Patient Journey: What to Expect When Considering Facial Plastic Surgery
If you are thinking of having facial plastic surgery in Toronto with EyeFACE, here’s a typical path you might take, and what you should know.
- Initial Consultation
• Review medical history, skin type, previous surgeries.
• Discussion of what you dislike, what you hope to improve, what outcome is most meaningful to you.
• Physical examination, photos, possibly image simulations.
• Discussion of options suited to your anatomy, risk/benefit, recovery time, cost.
- Pre-operative Planning
• Decision between open vs closed techniques where relevant.
• Measure, mark, plan incisions in natural skin folds where possible.
• Plan for anesthesia; ensure health optimization (stop smoking, medications managed). - Surgery Day
• Performed in accredited surgical facility.
• Use of microsurgical tools, precise incisions, techniques to minimize trauma, preserve support structures. - Recovery
• Expect swelling, bruising, discomfort; often beyond first week these improve substantially.
• Some limitations on physical activity, sun exposure, facial expression.
• Regular follow-ups to monitor healing and manage any complications. - Long-Term Outcome
• Final results often take months to fully settle (especially swelling, tissue settling).
• Scars fade over time; skin and tissues adjust.
• Satisfaction tends to increase over time as you see how the changes integrate into your everyday appearance.
What Makes a Great Facial Plastic Surgeon
Here are key qualities you should look for—qualities EyeFACE holds itself to:
- Extensive training in facial anatomy & plastic surgery — not just general surgery, but specifically facial and eyelid surgery.
- Board certification and/or dual certification in relevant fields (e.g. facial plastic surgery, oculoplastics, plastic surgery).
- High procedure volume in facial plastic surgery — practice breeds refinement. EyeFACE conducts well over a thousand facial procedures annually.
- An artistic eye — understanding proportions, how shadows and light play across the face, what looks natural vs overdone.
- Commitment to function as well as aesthetics — breathing, vision, facial movement must not be sacrificed for looks.
- Strong patient communication & empathic care — listening, setting realistic expectations, being honest about risks, recovery, results.
Why Facial Plastic Surgery in Toronto with EyeFACE is Unique
Toronto offers access to many excellent surgeons and clinics, but EyeFACE distinguishes itself in several ways:
- Exclusive focus on facial surgery and oculoplastics — meaning all our expertise, tools, and emphasis are aligned with the face.

- Proven track record of outcomes, with many patients satisfied with natural, long-lasting results.
Common Concerns & Misconceptions
As you research facial plastic surgery, you may encounter doubts or myths. Here’s how EyeFACE addresses them:
- “I will look fake / operated.”
We aim not for dramatic change, but improved harmony. Subtle refinements often look more powerful in the long run than exaggerated alterations. - “Recovery will be horrible / very long.”
Some early swelling or bruising is normal; most patients are presentable within 1-2 weeks for many facial procedures. Healing continues over a few months. - “Cost is unpredictable.”
At EyeFACE, we provide personalized treatment plans and estimates based on your facial anatomy, procedure complexity, and goals. Transparency is part of our care philosophy. - “Scarring will be obvious.”
Incisions are designed to fall in less visible lines (natural creases, beneath hairlines, inside eyelids). Fine suturing, good technique, and post-operative care help scars fade. - “My nose/face will hinder my breathing or function.”
Function is central, not secondary. Rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, etc., are performed with structural integrity in mind. If there are functional issues (such as septal deviation, eyelid ptosis), we correct them.
Is Facial Plastic Surgery Right for You?
You might be a good candidate if:
- You are in good overall health.
- You have clear, realistic goals (you can articulate what you want changed, why it matters, and how much downtime you can tolerate).
- You’ve done your research and feel comfortable with your surgeon’s credentials, before/after gallery, and patient reviews.
- You understand that healing takes time, sometimes tissue changes over months, and results may evolve.
