I’m unhappy with my tummy! Now what?

Posted on December 20, 2018 by Sara

Dr. Shenker explores the best solutions for common tummy concerns. None of us are born unhappy with our tummies, but many of us end up there at some point in our lives, and there are many variables that lead us here. For some it’s unwanted weight gain or a large weight loss. Sometimes life gets in the way and keeps us from the gym, or we’re presented with unwise food choices all too often. Physical illness can affect our weight as well. At The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, the most common reason we see women for tummy work is that their … Continue reading »

The anesthesia experience at TCSC.

Posted on December 1, 2018 by Sara

Dr. Shenker answers common questions about your anesthetic experience. When it comes to the worries people have surrounding their cosmetic surgery experience, the issue at the top of the list is usually anesthesia. While understandable, I believe it to be mostly misplaced worry. Like many of the issues surrounding surgery in general, and cosmetic surgery in particular, much of the hype surrounding anesthesia has been generated by myth, rumour, hearsay and the movies. The concerns I hear range from “will the intravenous hurt?” to “what happens if I wake up during surgery?” to everyone’s biggest concern, “what if I don’t … Continue reading »

One such option involves combining two effective treatments: liposuction and ThermiTight®. Liposuction is … Continue reading »

Breast lift scars: what your plastic surgeon wants you to know.

Posted on April 16, 2018 by Sara

A breast lift—also known as a mastopexy—is a surgical procedure that improves the profile, position, and shape of sagging breasts, giving them a more youthful appearance without necessarily changing their size. Many women choose to have this surgery following pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or significant volume loss as a result of aging. As with most cosmetic surgery procedures, there are many important factors to consider, from cost to recovery, and everything in between. Not surprisingly, one of the main hesitations our patients express when making their decision is breast lift scars. Unfortunately, because the operation involves the removal of excess … Continue reading »
