Cosmetic Ear Surgery and Saggy Earlobes

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Can you fix my saggy earlobes?

Probably. Otoplasty, also known as cosmetic ear surgery, can correct just about any aesthetic problem affecting the ears and its shape or appearance. From overly pointy tips to ears that protrude too much, a wide range of problems can be corrected with cosmetic ear surgery, including sagging and dangling lobes.

The medical professionals at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic can most likely correct your saggy earlobes through a surgical or nonsurgical procedure, depending on the extent of correction desired as well as what your goals and concerns are. However, the only way to know for sure whether an Earlobe Lift Procedure is suitable for you is to come in and speak with our patient consultant in person. The free consultation will provide you with more information regarding the solutions to your aesthetic problems, since there may be other treatments aside from cosmetic ear surgery that are available (such as injectable fillers).

Clitoral Hood Reduction

Friday, October 16th, 2009

I’ve got a somewhat embarrassing problem. My clitoral hood is way too big for my liking. Can this problem be fixed?

Most likely, yes. The clitoral hood, also known as the prepuce, is that part of the female genital structure that covers the clitoris. It’s usually just big enough to cover the clitoris, but small enough as to not interfere with normal function.

However, in some cases the prepuce may be too big. This can cause discomfort, inhibit normal sexual function, and be aesthetically unappealing. The prepuce may be reduced in size by undergoing Designer Laser Vaginoplasty® at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic. This procedure is invasive, but involves unique methods to reduce the undesirable effects that are related to traditional Clitoral Hood Reduction surgery, such as bleeding and a lengthy recovery.

Spot Reduction?

Friday, July 31st, 2009

I know exercises and dieting won’t spot reduce the amount of fat I’ve got in one area, but my body is in pretty good shape everywhere but my stomach. Any suggestions?

You’re right. No matter how much you diet and exercise, some parts of your body just won’t slim down. Enter UltraShape.

UltraShape can actually spot reduce the amount of  subcutaneous fat you have in one particular area, whether it be the thighs, hips, flanks or abdomen. It’s noninvasive and virtually painless, making it a great solution to those problem areas.

Call us at 416-221-5554 to find out more about UltraShape and how it spot reduces fat.

Too Skinny for UltraShape?

Monday, July 6th, 2009

I want to get UltraShape done but my friend says I’m too skinny. I’m 5′4″ and 111. Is she right?

That depends. Determining whether you are appropriate for the procedure based on weight alone can sometimes be deceiving. UltraShape is designed for motivated individuals who are committed to a healthy diet and exercise regimen, with a normal to overweight BMI that is below 30.

According to the info you provided, your BMI is 19.1, which is on the low end for the average patient. However, if you have subcutaneous fat deposits in the area you wish to target that measure at least 1.5cm in thickness, then the procedure may still be suitable. To accurately determine whether UltraShape is for you, meet with our patient consultant. She’ll talk to you in person and assess whether or not you’ll be able to achieve the body contour you desire with this treatment. You can book your free appointment by calling us at 416-221-5554.

What is Laser Liposuction?

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Laser liposuction is a method of liposuction that utilizes a laser during surgery to assist in unwanted fat removal. Generally, a laser at a specific wavelength is directed at the area of the unwanted fat to melt it. This facilitates removal so the body experiences far less negative side effects, like bruising and bleeding, when compared to other forms of liposuction. It can also have the benefit of tightening the overlying skin and promoting collagen production, so no flaccid skin remains following recovery.

One of the most advanced forms of laser liposuction, or laser assisted liposuction, is Smartlipo.

More information about laser liposuction is available by calling 416-221-5554.

Juvederm for Lip Augmentation

Friday, November 21st, 2008

It’s Friday and we’ve come to the last question on Lip Augmentation. But don’t worry – if one of your questions wasn’t answered this week, just send us an email or call us at 416-221-5554 and we’ll answer it asap.

I’ve heard that Juvederm is a great product. Tell me more about it?

Our most popular method of lip augmentation is nonsurgical. That means you won’t have to receive any incisions, anesthesia, or face the risks related to all surgical procedures.

At TCC, noninvasive lip augmentation is performed with Juvederm, a great product from the same company that makes Botox, Allergan.

Why is Juverderm so popular?

The procedure takes only 15-25 minutes, no allergy test is required, and the typical side effects are very temporary. Because an injection is involved, a topical anesthetic can be applied to minimize discomfort. Plus, you’ll be able to see the results almost immediately. The swelling that usually accompanies the injection will fade in a few hours, allowing you to see the true results of the treatment much more quickly than other more traditional forms of lip augmentation.
