Posted on May 10, 2018 by Dr. Robert Shenker

Dr. Robert Shenker takes us through the process of deciding if a patient’s breast implants should be placed under or over the muscle of their chest wall. Recently, the American Society of Plastic Surgery published the statistics showing the most common and sought-after cosmetic procedures of 2017. As has been the case for many years, the single most common procedure done in North America is breast augmentation, and it’s popular with women in the greater Waterloo and London, Ontario, areas too. It’s favoured because it works, it’s safe, and it makes patients happy!

Can Breast Augmentation Look Natural?

Posted on October 27, 2016 by Dr. Robert Shenker

Addressing a common concern about breast augmentation surgery. Breast augmentation is by far the most popular plastic surgery procedure in North America. Unfortunately, its ubiquitousness also means that there are plenty of examples of breast implants that look exaggerated or unnatural. The anxiety over an unnatural-looking or unnatural-feeling breast augmentation outcome prevents many Kitchener-Waterloo, London, and Southern Ontario women from pursuing breast augmentation.

What makes breast implants look fake? In some cases, a patient may have implants that … Continue reading »

We all age, that’s a given. But how we age differs among all of us. The speed at which our skin loses volume and elasticity and develops lines and wrinkles happens differently for all of us. But why?

Let’s talk tummy tucks.

Posted on October 27, 2014 by Dr. Robert Shenker

You’ve had a baby, congratulations! And you’ve lost your ‘baby weight’, congratulations, again! But is that extra stretched skin keeping you from feeling your fabulous, ‘yummy mummy‘ self? Let’s talk tummy tucks. What’s a tummy tuck? An abdominoplasty, or ‘tummy tuck’ as we more commonly know it, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen.
