Not every post-weight loss transformation ends with a tummy tuck.

For many patients, one of the biggest remaining concerns is excess skin along the inner thighs.

While procedures like tummy tucks often receive the most attention, thigh lift surgery can have an equally meaningful impact for the right patient.

Following significant weight loss, excess skin along the inner thighs may lead to discomfort, chafing, difficulty with clothing, and concerns about body contour. Exercise can strengthen the underlying muscles, but it cannot remove excess skin once it has lost its elasticity.

A thigh lift is designed to remove that excess skin and improve the contour of the thighs. The goal isn’t simply to make the thighs smaller—it’s to improve contour, restore proportion, reduce symptoms like chafing, and help patients feel that their body better reflects the work they’ve put into their weight loss journey.

Like all body contouring procedures, surgical planning is highly individualized. The goal is to remove as much excess skin as safely possible while placing the scars where they can be concealed along the inner thigh. This balance between contour improvement and scar placement is one of the most important aspects of the procedure.

Although thigh lifts receive far less attention than other post-weight loss procedures, they can be one of the most impactful operations for appropriately selected patients.

If you’re considering body contouring after weight loss, understanding what each procedure can—and cannot—achieve is an important part of the decision-making process.

A new chapter is beginning.

I’m incredibly excited to be joining forces with two outstanding plastic surgeons, Jamil Ahmad and Diego Pereira MD FRCSC, to launch True Plastic Surgery this fall.

Our vision is simple: to build a practice where surgical expertise, thoughtful patient care, and meticulous attention to detail come together to deliver natural, refined results. We’re also fortunate to have Dr. Agnete Toesti leading our non-surgical aesthetic services, allowing us to offer comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s aesthetic goals.

Every decision—from our team and technology to the patient experience—has been intentional. We’re creating the kind of practice we’d want for our own family and friends: one built on trust, education, and uncompromising quality.

We’re just getting started, and I can’t wait to share more with you.

True Plastic Surgery. Opening Fall 2026.

Better late than never!

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend The Aesthetic MEET 2026 and am finally getting around to sharing a few photos from the meeting.

It was a privilege to moderate scientific panels, reconnect with friends and colleagues, present the Best of ASJ Awards, and educate on short-scar breast reduction and mastopexy alongside my colleague, Dr. Jamil Ahmad, who has become the first 🇨🇦 plastic surgeon to be President of the The Aesthetic Society!

Meetings like this are an important reminder of the value of collaboration, ongoing education, and the exchange of ideas that ultimately help us provide better care for our patients.

One of the most common questions I get is why I choose a particular implant pocket for breast augmentation.

While there are several effective approaches, one option I commonly use in appropriately selected patients is subfascial breast augmentation, where the implant is placed beneath the pectoral muscle fascia but above the pectoralis muscle.

Why does this matter?

One advantage is greater control over medial cleavage definition. The subfascial plane can allow for more precise implant positioning, helping create natural breast contours while maintaining appropriate separation between the breasts.

It can also help preserve a natural appearance during movement. Because the implant is not positioned beneath an active muscle, patients avoid animation deformity—the movement or distortion that can occur when the chest muscles contract.

Another benefit many patients notice is when they’re lying down. Compared with some submuscular augmentations, there is often less lateral displacement of the implants, helping maintain a more natural breast position and shape in different body positions.

As with any breast augmentation, there is no single “best” pocket for every patient. Anatomy, tissue characteristics, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals all play an important role in determining the right surgical plan.

This is where individualized assessment and surgical judgment are essential. Come in to talk about what approach might be best for you!

A full day at The Aesthetic MEET for ASJ!

Today included filming a video roundtable discussion on GLP-1 receptor agonists with Drs. Renee Burke, Kye Higdon, and Daniel Gould—an important conversation on a rapidly evolving topic that continues to intersect with aesthetic surgery in meaningful ways.

We also held our ASJ editorial board meeting, made especially meaningful by celebrating 30 years of Aesthetic Surgery Journal. A milestone that reflects decades of scholarship, innovation, and the collective efforts of so many who have helped shape the field!

Grateful to contribute alongside such thoughtful colleagues and to be part of conversations that help move aesthetic surgery forward.

One of the best parts of meetings like The Aesthetic MEET is the chance to connect outside the lecture hall.

A great night at the ballpark in Boston catching up with friends and colleagues from the Aesthetic Surgery Journal. These in-person conversations and connections are such an important part of our specialty—sharing ideas, strengthening relationships, and enjoying time together beyond the podium.

and yes… the pretzel was delicious 😋

One of the most overlooked details in aesthetic surgery? The result is often defined by the nuances—not just the procedures themselves.

This patient underwent a combined abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and breast augmentation as part of a comprehensive body contouring plan.

Two important priorities in cases like this:

1. Addressing natural breast asymmetry
Very few patients start with perfectly symmetric breasts. Differences in volume, breast fold position, chest wall shape, and ni**le position are common.

The goal is not artificial “perfect symmetry”—human anatomy doesn’t work that way. The goal is thoughtful surgical planning that improves balance while preserving a natural appearance.

That may require subtle adjustments in technique depending on the individual patient’s anatomy.

2. Creating a natural-appearing umbilicus
A well-executed abdominoplasty is not just about removing excess skin and tightening the abdominal wall.

One of the most revealing details is the belly button. An umbilicus that looks overly round, overly tight, misplaced, or obviously “surgical” can make an otherwise excellent result look unnatural.

Creating a natural result requires careful planning of shape, depth, position, and scar concealment.

In aesthetic surgery, it’s often the details people don’t immediately notice that matter most.

Gynecomastia (male breast tissue) is a common issue many men deal with, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it!

Many cases of gynecomastia can often be treated with a minimally invasive approach.

In this patient, the concern was isolated to one side, with a combination of firm glandular tissue and a small amount of excess fat. The goal was not just removal—but restoring symmetry in a natural, proportional way.

Through a small, carefully placed incision, the gland was excised and the contour refined.

The result?
A noticeable improvement in chest balance—with a scar that is intentionally discreet and, in most cases, barely visible over time.

If you’re considering treatment for gynecomastia, understanding your options—and whether you’re a candidate for this type of technique—is an important first step.

Thats a WRAP!  Honoured to have served as Co-Chair of the 2026 Toronto Breast and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Symposium. We had a fantastic turnout and the symposium was filled with amazing lectures on breast surgery, breast reconstruction body contouring, facial aesthetics, injectables, lasers, practice management (and much, much more)… we even ran our first live ultrasound educational course in facial anatomy!

A strong meeting isn’t just about the program—it’s about the conversations it sparks. I am grateful to our visiting lecturers ( .mentz ) and all the presenters for sharing their expertise, and also to the attendees who took time away to engage in the thoughtful discussion throughout!

And as a bonus, it’s always wonderful to catch up with colleagues and to make new friends!
