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).

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

When will I be able to see the results?

Usually, any change in the contour of your lips is immediate. However, because some swelling may occur, the true results may not be apparent until after this subsides. Generally, this takes just a few hours or one or two days. Applying a cold compress to the area can help with the swelling.

The results are temporary, and can last anywhere from a few months to a year.

How much does this cost?

We all understand that how much a procedure costs is often a determining factor on whether you undergo the selected treatment or not. The price of the lip augmentation procedure varies depending on how much correction you’d like to have. Roughly, it’ll be in the hundreds of dollars.  At the time of your free consultation, you’ll get a specific price for your treatment.

Is it worth it? Well, only you can really answer that question. If you don’t like the shape and/or size of your lips  and it’s negatively affecting your self esteem, wouldn’t it be worth it?

I’d like to get this done but I’m worried about the side effects. Can you tell me what they are?

Like any procedure, lip augmentation has its own set of side effects and risks. Some temporary risks include redness and minor bleeding, infection and bruising at the injection site(s). Swelling typically occurs but will go away. Uneven contours may also result however with the expertise of a knowledgeable and experienced medical professional, the chances of any negative side effects occurring are greatly diminished.

At Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, lip augmentation is usually performed using Juvederm. Juvederm does not require an allergy test because it is composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the human body.

This week, we’re answering your questions about one of TCC’s most popular cosmetic procedures: Lip Augmentation.

Our first question comes from Karen in Toronto.

I just want to get more volume in my upper lip. Can you do this?

Of course! While most of our clients prefer to do both,  it’s entirely up to you whether you’d like to boost the volume of only one part of the lips. Just let our Injectable Fillers Specialist know what type of improvement you’d like to achieve so she can treat the right area. Asymmetry can also be corrected.
