Because the little details don’t stop when you leave the waiting room.

In Part 2 of our tour, we’re taking you behind the scenes and into our OR, where Dr. Brace’s attention to detail continues to shape the patient experience.

→ Lockers for your personal belongings
→ A private recovery bay
→ A private pick-up area
→ Extra-thick mattresses on our stretchers for added comfort
→ A phone call from Dr. Brace on the evening of surgery to check in

These are the things you might not think about when planning for surgery. But they’re the things that matter when you’re here.
Because for us, it’s not just about the procedure. It’s about creating an experience that feels thoughtful, private and comfortable from start to finish.

And if you know Dr. Brace, you know the details are never accidental.

It’s incredible how much a nose can change the face.

This patient is now one year post-rhinoplasty, and her results are beautiful.

But what you see in a before and after is only part of the story.

A rhinoplasty is a journey, and healing takes time.

Swelling gradually settles, the nose continues to refine, and the final result becomes clearer over the course of the year.

We are finally seeing the beautiful outcome of that process.

Every rhinoplasty is unique, and our goal is always to create results that feel balanced, natural, and right for each patient.
Swipe to see her one-year results.

It’s the little details.
Dr. Brace calls himself a control freak.
We call him a detail-aholic.

And honestly? We think it shows.

What makes a clinic feel different isn’t always the big things. Sometimes, it’s the details you notice without even realizing you’ve noticed them.

At Guelph Facial Plastics, we’ve intentionally considered the patient experience from the moment you walk through the door:

→ Frosted glass between reception and the waiting room for added privacy

→ A privacy wall in the waiting area

→ Fresh flowers throughout the clinic

→ Sonos music throughout the space, creating a calm and private atmosphere

→ A signature scent inspired by the feeling of a luxury hotel

→ Custom skincare selected to complement your treatment needs

→ Comfortable chairs and cozy blankets in the procedure room

→ Small-gauge needles and lidocaine to help make treatments as comfortable as possible

Because for us, care is in the details.
And while these things might seem small, together they create an experience that feels thoughtful, private, comfortable and distinctly GFP.

A closer look at rhinophyma, and what treatment at GFP can achieve.

Rhinophyma is a form of advanced rosacea that causes the skin and tissue of the nose to thicken and enlarge. Over time, this can create a bulbous, irregular appearance and alter the natural contours of the nose.

For this patient, treatment included CO₂ laser resurfacing, designed to precisely remove excess tissue and reshape the nasal contours.

This is the patient’s result 8 months post-treatment, showing the continued improvement in contour and overall appearance.
CO₂ laser is one of several procedural approaches used to treat rhinophyma and has demonstrated effective, durable results in clinical studies.

Individual results vary. Treatment approach and suitability are determined during consultation with our team.

Dysport for Support

Your Dysport treatment can do a little more this October.

We know it might seem early but…
throughout the month of October, 50% of Dysport sales at Guelph Facial Plastics will be donated to support breast cancer care through Beauty for Hope.

So if Dysport happens to be on your treatment calendar next month:
✨ Book your appointment

✨ Come see us for your treatment

✨ Enjoy your results knowing your appointment is also helping support an important cause

One treatment. A little confidence boost. A whole lot of good.

Already had Dysport recently? No need to rush your next treatment. We recommend allowing approximately 3 months between treatments. But if October happens to align with your treatment schedule, we would love to see you.

He also brings high-volume experience in clinic-based procedures such as mole, cyst, and skin lesion removal, with a meticulous and detail-oriented approach to achieving excellent aesthetic outcomes.

Beyond his clinical experience, Dr. Gandhi is known for his calm, attentive manner and thoughtful approach to patient care. He takes the time to ensure every patient feels comfortable, supported, and confident throughout their experience.

So, consider this his official first-day-of-school photo dump.

What does it take to make the face look more refreshed, without making it look “done”?

In this week’s Facial Plastics Friday, Dr. Brace walks through a patient who wanted to address some of the changes that can happen with aging, including a common concern we hear often: “I want my eyes to look brighter and more refreshed.”

For this patient, the treatment plan combined:
• Face + neck lift
• Upper blepharoplasty
• CO₂ laser resurfacing

Each procedure addressed a different area.

At 6 months post-op, the result is a great example of what rejuvenation can look like when the goal isn’t to change how you look, but to help you look brighter, smoother , younger, and refreshed.

In the video, Dr. Brace explains what was bothering the patient, why these procedures were recommended together, and how each contributed to her overall result.

6 months post-op: Face + Neck Lift, Upper Blepharoplasty and CO2 Laser treated by Dr. Brace

A beautiful example of how combining procedures can create a natural, refreshed result across the face, neck, and eyes.

For this patient, the treatment plan addressed multiple areas at once: lifting and restoring the lower face and neck, refreshing the upper eyelids, and improving the overall quality of the skin with CO2 laser resurfacing.

Rather than focusing on one feature, this approach helps create a more complete result where each area still feels balanced with the rest of the face.

At 6 months post-op, her appearance looks brighter, smoother, and refreshed while still looking completely natural.

Tomorrow on Facial Plastics Friday, Dr. Brace will walk through this case and explain how each part of the treatment plan contributed to the final result.

Rosacea can be persistent, but with the right treatment plan, meaningful changes are possible.

This patient came to see us for support in managing the rosacea she had been dealing with.

These results are after 3 treatments of BBL (Broad Band Light) spaced 4-6 weeks apart. BBL delivers precise wavelengths of light to target:
* Pigment
* Vascular redness
* Acne-causing bacteria
* Signs of photoaging

Unlike older IPL systems, the BBL uses controlled energy delivery and advanced filtering to target melanin and hemoglobin effectively. It also promotes cellular renewal and collagen production.

The result? A noticeable improvement in the overall appearance of her skin, with less visible redness and a more even-looking complexion.

Remember, rosacea is not one-size-fits-all. Treatment is individualized based on your skin, symptoms and goals and often, the best results come from consistency and a long-term approach.

Thinking about your own rosacea? Book a consultation with us to discuss your options.

A day in the life of a facial plastic surgeon in Guelph, Ontario.
Come behind the scenes with Dr. Brace for a full day in the OR at Guelph Surgical Suites, where we tackled two revision rhinoplasty cases, each with its own unique challenges.

From the operating room to recovery, charting, filming Facial Plastics Friday, and seeing patients in clinic, this is a little glimpse into what a typical day can look like behind the scenes at our Guelph facial plastics practice.

Revision rhinoplasty is complex, and no two cases are ever quite the same. Today was a great reminder of just how much planning, precision, and experience goes into each procedure.

And the best part? Getting to follow these patients through their healing and watching their results evolve over time.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens behind the scenes, now you know. And if you have questions about revision rhinoplasty or facial plastic surgery, our team is here to make sure you feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way.
