Hymenoplasty, a procedure designed to reconstruct a ruptured hymen, has become one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures for females here at TCC. It is particularly popular amongst women who wish to get married, and believe that an intact hymen is important.

Seeing that the hymen may rupture during activities not sexually-related, for example by gymnastics or other vigorous sports, and even not exist in some women naturally, why do we place so much importance on it?

Well, the hymen has been perceived as a symbol of virginity for centuries, in many countries and traditions around the world. Even in times before science discovered the hymen, the concept of some type of indication of virginity existed.

In English, the term “hymen” got its name from Greek: either from the Greek god, Hymenaios, the god of Marriage, or the word for membrane. It is believed that the success and happiness of a marriage relied heavily on the bride’s hymen being intact.

Arms and thighs are some of the hardest places to keep toned and taut. Sure, it’s easy when you’re young, but as we get older or deal with weight fluctuations, it gets harder and harder to keep these limbs in shape. Push ups, squats, a healthy diet, whatever - sometimes, it just doesn’t work.

Unhappy and need to do something about it? If you’ve got flabby skin on the arms and thighs and are not really concerned with accumulated fat in these areas, a thigh lift or arm lift could be for you. Just call us as at 416-221-5554 to find out more. Our cosmetic surgeons can help you.

According to the news, the Australian navy has covered the costs for two female sailors to get breast implants.

It is believed that the reason the navy paid for the breast augmentation procedures, each priced at $10,000US, was to to appease the psychological needs of the two female sailors. They even underwent an evaluation before being granted the costs to cover their surgery.

One of the main reasons why most women undergo breast augmentation is to reclaim their self esteem and boost self confidence, thereby making them happier with their body contour.

However, it’s not just breast augmentation that the Australian Navy has covered for its sailors. The Navy has also paid for other cosmetic procedures for those who have been injured while working, when their disfigurement affects their psychological state so much that it prevents them from doing their job.

If you’re going in for laser hair removal, make sure you shave the area that is to be treated one or two nights before the procedure. That way, the laser device can target the hair follicle more precisely and efficiently.

Remember, before a procedure, do not wax, pluck or do anything else other than shave, preferably a few weeks prior! We want that hair follicle to be intact so the procedure can be as effective as possible.

Have you heard the news about 43 year old Demi Moore? Apparently, she’s admitted to undergoing well over $200,000US in cosmetic enhancement treatments, improving herself from head to toe. Some reports say that it’s actually closer to $500,000. Aside from her obvious breast implants (which she proudly showed off in the movie Striptease), it looks like she also got a breast lift and liposuction on the lower parts of her body. Too bad she didn’t get the breast augmentation done at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, because Dr. Yaz would have probably made them look more natural!

As for non-invasive procedures, she’s gotten chemical peels and injectable fillers.

Incredible. A movie star that finally comes clean about her “improvements”.
