Whether you're looking to build your confidence with the full-body transformation you've always wanted, or make a subtle change to your features, the ability to reshape the human canvas to something of your choosing is a luxury of the modern era. As technology advances, the world of plastic surgery adapts, utilizing the latest tech to aid in everything from cosmetics and aesthetics to medical procedures that are less invasive with faster recovery times.
With plastic surgery being so prevalent and options plentiful, the question of "What makes a good plastic surgeon?" is not only inevitable but a priority, as all are not equal in the vast world of cosmetic augmentation. Skill? Experience? Education? All fair questions.
Here in Canada, there are over 500 plastic surgeons to choose from. But, who among them is the best? Beware of looking purely at ranking lists and ratings, as most (if not all) are paid promotions. Yes, we mean people actually sell the number 1 spot. A more accurate way to tell results are before and after galleries, as well as how many ratings. That gives you an opportunity to see how trafficked that doctor is. Someone with 1000 4.7 stars, may be better than a surgeon with 5 4.9 stars... With more reviews come more critics, so it is up to you to find the balance. Below is a list sorted by order of how many reviews each surgeon has on ratemd.
