Procedures and techniques named
- Rhinoplasty: preserves function, avoids breathing obstruction
Thus the goal of rhinoplasty in our practice is to create beauty without causing long-term consequences such as breathing obstruction.
- Rhinoplasty: primary takes 2 to 3 hours
A primary rhinoplasty usually takes 2 to 3 hours.
- External Rhinoplasty
The so-called ‘open approach’ is better termed external rhinoplasty, as it better describes the method used.
- Facelift: rejuvenates cheek, midface, jawline, neck areas
A rhytidectomy (or facelift, and we may use the terms interchangeably here) is used to rejuvenate the cheek/midface/jawline/neck areas.
- Temporal Brow Lift
In this case, we can perform what he calls a temporal brow lift, which uses only the incisions at the temples.
- Brow lift: endoscopic 45 minutes, temporal 25 minutes
Endoscopic browlift when done typically takes about 45 minutes. The temporal lift takes about 25 minutes.
- Brow lift: light general anesthetic, endoscopic
We recommend a ‘light’ general anesthetic for the endoscopic browlift.
- Blepharoplasty: incision in upper eyelid crease
The traditionally used method for upper lid blepharoplasty is to use an incision in the upper eyelid crease and one slightly above it to remove a portion of the upper eyelid skin.
- Blepharoplasty: can be done awake or asleep
The procedure can be done awake or asleep. Dr. Most can accommodate most patients requests for eyelid surgery anesthesia.
- Chin augmentation: fitted implant directly on bone
A chin augmentation refers to refinement/improvement of the bone contour of the chin area. This is usually accomplished by placement of a fitted "implant" directly on the bone of the chin, well below the skin.

Before you book here
Verify three things yourself, whichever practice you choose: certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, or Royal College certification (FRCSC) in Canada; whether the operating facility is accredited or the surgeon holds hospital privileges for your exact procedure; and how many of that operation they perform each year. Our guide to choosing a plastic surgeon covers how to check each one.
