  • Face

    Facial cosmetic surgery is a great way to not only change your appearance but also boost your self-confidence and help you look as young as you feel. Whether you want to sculpt a facial feature, smooth wrinkles, and tighten loose skin or correct a problem, a wide array of procedures exist that can help you achieve the appearance you desire. Every surgery performed is based on a customized plan of treatment designed to meet all of our patient's goals. We understand that before and after pictures have become the norm for most websites. Our distinct patients request we do not use their photos on our site, so out of respect for their wishes, we will be happy to show you our portfolio in the office at your consultation. The Borsuk FaceLift Facelifts counteract the signs of aging by tightening muscle, removing fat, and trimming excess skin, giving your face a fresher, youthful look. Dr. Daniel Borsuk emphasizes a natural appearance that attempts to restore the patient's face to their youth. His bespoke facelift approach is especially effective for rejuvenating the mid-to-lower face and neck, correcting sagging, deep creases under the eyes or between the nose and mouth, and loose skin and fat under the chin and jaw. Dr. Borsuk performs multiple types of bespoke facelift procedures: SMAS Lift, Extended SMAS Lift, Signature Latin Lift, Mini Face Lift, Deep Plane Lift, and the minimally invasive Thread Lift. Facelift Procedure In most facelift procedures, incisions are made from within the hairline in the temples down in front of the ears, or in the ear, and back behind the earlobe to the lower scalp. The procedure takes about two to three hours. Renowned Montreal plastic surgeon, Dr. Borsuk has developed his own techniques that maximize the natural refreshed look that his patients require. He performs all the techniques listed above and tailors them to each patient such as: lifting the skin, fat grafting and suctioning, soft tissue redistribution and augmentation, and muscle tightening. Sometimes metal clips are also used to hold incisions firmly closed on the scalp to prevent hair loss and improve scars, and bandages are often wrapped around the head to reduce bruising and swelling. EyeBrow "Smokey Eyes" Lift - Thread Lift Dr. Borsuk has developed a novel technique that can give the lateral eyebrow a gentle lift to give a more youthful appearance that many young patients desire. The technique can be done under local anesthesia and takes less than an hour to perform. There is minimal downtime of 1 - 2 days. Forehead Lift (Open and Endoscopic) Also known as a brow lift, a forehead lift is a surgical procedure performed to reduce signs of aging in the forehead area. It aims to remove or minimize deep horizontal creases across the forehead and bridge of the nose, and the frown lines between the eyebrows. It also lifts the eyebrows, making the eyes look more open. Forehead Lift Procedure The procedure usually takes about one to two hours to perform. Depending on the surgical technique used, one long incision or a series of small incisions are made. Tissue and muscle underneath the skin are moved or repositioned as necessary. At the end of the procedure, the incision(s) is closed with sutures, screws, adhesives, or surgical tape; a drain may be put in to collect excess blood and fluid. Post-surgery, the patient is moved to a recovery area for observation. Recovery After Forehead Lift A patient typically returns home on the day of the forehead lift surgery, although an overnight stay may be necessary for some. Swelling may be pronounced for the first day or two after surgery, although most swelling goes away within 2 weeks. To prevent post-operative bleeding, bending and heavy lifting should be avoided for a few days. It can take up to 6 months for swelling to fully subside and scars to fade. Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Blepharoplasty is a procedure that improves the appearance of the eyelids by tightening muscles and tissue or removing excess fat and skin. The blepharoplasty procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation. General anesthesia may be used for anxious or nervous patients. Patients may choose to have this procedure on their upper or lower eyelids, or both. Depending on these choices, the procedure can take anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours. Blepharoplasty Procedure If the upper eyelid is being treated, an incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid. Once the incision is made, your doctor may reposition fat deposits, tighten muscles and tissue or remove excess skin. For the lower eyelid, an incision is made just below the lash line in order for excess skin to be removed. After the procedure is performed, the incisions are closed with sutures and usually wrapped in gauze to allow the area to heal.

  • Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)

    Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, can reshape, reduce or augment a person's nose to achieve facial harmony and boost self-confidence. It is usually an outpatient procedure that is performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia. Rhinoplasty Procedure Surgeons typically use one of two techniques when performing nasal surgery. In a closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made within the nostrils. In an open rhinoplasty, the incision is made across the columella, the tissue between the nostrils. With both methods, the surgeon gently lifts the soft tissues covering the nose. He or she sculpts the bone and cartilage to the desired shape. Any additional cartilage needed to augment the nose can often be taken from the septum. The entire procedure generally lasts for one to two hours.

  • Neck Lift

    The neck is often one of the first areas of the body affected by the signs of aging, resulting in wrinkled, hanging skin that can make you look much older than you feel. A neck lift is a surgical procedure that sculpts and smoothes the neck for a younger, natural-looking appearance with no clear signs of surgical intervention. Neck Lift Procedure During a neck lift, liposuction may be used to remove fat, while additional procedures remove excess skin and tighten the neck muscles for a younger-looking appearance. Many patients choose to combine a neck lift with a facelift, forehead lift or eyelid surgery to maximize results.

  • Body

    A patient may decide to undergo plastic surgery to reshape or reduce the size of their midsection. Whether you are looking to achieve a slimmer look or have lost weight and are looking to tighten up your tummy, a wide array of procedures exist that can help you achieve the appearance you desire. Every surgery performed in our Montreal offices is based on a customized plan of treatment designed to meet all of our patients' goals. We understand that before and after pictures have become the norm for most websites. Our distinct patients request we do not use their photos on our site, so out of respect for their wishes we will be happy to show you our portfolio in office at your consultation. Liposuction What is Liposuction? Liposuction sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat that has not responded to diet and exercise from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms. Local anesthesia or general anesthesia may be used, and the procedure can last anywhere from one to three hours depending on the amount of fat being removed. How Dr. Borsuk performs Liposuctions There are several different methods surgeons use when performing liposuction, including ultrasound-assisted lipectomy (UAL) and suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL). In both types, fluid is injected into the area to be treated. Then a tiny incision is made in as inconspicuous a place as possible, and a cannula (small tube) breaks up the fat layer and suctions it out. Recovery after Liposuction After surgery a compressive garment and antibiotics may be needed to facilitate the healing process. Patients are encouraged to walk as soon as they are able and many return to work within a few days, although strenuous activity should be avoided for about a month. What Results Should I expect after Liposuction? Results are visible immediately, though improvement may continue as swelling subsides during the first three months. Scars are small and inconspicuous. Tummy Tuck What is a Tummy Tuck? Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) helps flatten the abdomen by removing excess fat and skin, and tightening muscles. Ideal Candidates for an Abdominoplasty The best candidates for abdominoplasty are in good physical condition, with pockets of fat or loose skin that have not responded well to diet and exercise. Abdominoplasty can also be appropriate for slightly over-weight people whose skin has lost some of its elasticity, and for women with skin and muscles stretched from pregnancy. Anyone planning on losing a significant amount of weight, and women planning on having (more) children, should wait before undergoing an abdominoplasty. What is the Abdominoplasty Procedure? Abdominoplasty takes approximately 2 to 3 hours to perform; the patient is placed under general or spinal anesthesia. Two incisions are made: one from hipbone to hipbone close to the pubic area, and another around the navel. Skin is separated from the abdominal muscles, which are then pulled together and stitched into place for a firmer abdomen and narrower waist. The skin flap is then stretched down over the newly tightened muscles, excess skin is removed, and the navel is reattached where it looks natural. The incisions are then closed, and sterile surgical dressings are applied over the sutured areas. What recovery is like after a Tummy Tuck After surgery, a temporary tube may be inserted to drain excess fluid from the surgical site. A compressive garment is used for 6 weeks. An overnight stay in our clinic may be necessary. Most patients are able to resume normal activities about 2 weeks later with some restrictions. Full recovery can take several weeks. Maintaining weight with a balanced diet and regular exercise provides long-lasting results. Will I Have Scarring After A Tummy Tuck? Abdominoplasty can leave a scar spanning the lower abdomen from hip to hip, although it is low enough to be concealed by a bikini. Schedule Your Body Sculpting Consultation Today!

  • Breast

    Women may decide to undergo plastic surgery to enlarge or reduce their breasts, to achieve a balance in size or shape for their breasts, or to reconstruct one or both breasts after mastectomy. Men may also seek to reduce breast size. Whatever the motivation, breast surgery is safer and easier now than ever before. Please review the list of services offered by Montreal plastic surgeon, Dr. Daniel Borsuk, to help you make an informed decision and achieve the most satisfying results. We understand that before and after pictures have become the norm for most websites. Our distinct patients request we do not use their photos on our site, so out of respect for their wishes we will be happy to show you our portfolio in office at your consultation. Breast Reduction Large breasts can negatively impact a woman both physically and emotionally, causing symptoms such as chronic back pain, rashes, poor posture, low self-esteem and restricted activity. Many women seek treatment to reduce the painful effects of their large breasts, while also improving their self-confidence and overall quality of life. Also known as reduction mammaplasty, breast reduction surgery reduces the size of large, disproportionate breasts by removing excess fat, tissue and skin for a more desirable appearance and relief of physical and emotional symptoms. How is a Breast Reduction Surgery Performed? During the breast reduction procedure, the surgeon makes either two circular incisions around the nipple or an anchor incision that circles the nipple and extends down the breast and along the breast crease. Fat and glandular tissue is then removed, while excess skin is tightened to produce a smaller, natural-looking breast. In some cases, the nipple and areola may need to be removed and then repositioned higher on the breast. What Will My Breast Reduction Results Look Like? The results of a breast reduction are visible right away and will continue to improve as swelling and bruising subside. Scars will continue to fade over time, becoming less and less noticeable. Breast Augmentation Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedures in Montreal. It can give women with small or unevenly-sized breasts a fuller, firmer, better-proportioned look through the placement of implants in the breast. Breast augmentation Who is a Candidate for a Breast Augmentation Procedure? Women may elect to undergo breast augmentation for many different medical and aesthetic motivations, including balancing breast size and compensating for reduced breast mass after pregnancy or surgery. The procedure may be combined with others such as a breast lift for more satisfying results. How is a Breast Augmentation Performed? Breast implants are silicone shells filled with either saline (saltwater) or silicone gel (recently approved by the FDA). They are placed behind each breast, underneath either breast tissue or the chest wall muscle. How Long Does a Breast Implant Procedure Take? The procedure lasts one to two hours and is typically performed with general anesthesia. After surgery, the patient's bustline may be increased by one or more cup sizes. Breast Lift (Mastopexy) A woman's breasts may droop as a result of the natural effects of aging, heredity, gravity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss. A breast lift, also called a mastopexy, is performed to return youthful shape and lift to breasts that have sagged or lost volume and firmness. Breast Lift (Mastopexy) What are the Benefits of a Mastopexy? Breast lifts rejuvenate the breasts by trimming excess skin and tightening supporting tissues to achieve an uplifted, youthful contour. After a mastopexy, the breasts are higher on the chest and firmer to the touch. Breast lifts can also reposition and reduce the size of the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple) which may have stretched or drooped. Does a Breast Lift Procedure Require Anesthesia? Mastopexy is usually performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. How Long Do Mastopexy Procedures Take? Mastopexy procedures can last from 1 to 3 hours. What is the Recovery Process After a Breast Lift Procedure? Most patients are immediately satisfied with their new breasts and can typically return to work one to two weeks following the procedure.

  • Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia Surgery)

    What Is Gynecomastia? Gynecomastia, which is the overdevelopment of male breasts, affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men. It can be the result of hormonal imbalance, obesity, certain drugs or heredity, and can affect one or both breasts. Who is a Candidate for a Male Breast Reduction? Candidates for breast reduction are men who have large or sagging breasts that make them feel physically and/or emotionally uncomfortable. Breast reduction can be performed on men whose breast development is complete; are in good health, both physically and emotionally; do not smoke, and are not overweight. Ideally, candidates have firm, elastic skin that will reshape itself to fit the contours of their breasts post-surgery. Patients typically return to work within a week. How is a Male Breast Reduction Procedure Performed? Male breast reduction is performed using liposuction or surgery, or a combination of the two. Does a Male breast reduction require anesthesia? Male breast reduction is usually performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. How Long Does a Gynecomastia Procedure Take? Gynecomastia surgery typically takes 1 to 3 hours. How soon after Gynecomastia Treatment Can I exercise? Light aerobic exercise can be performed after a week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks.

  • Facial Rejuvenation

    As we age, the skin on our hands can change just as much as the skin on our face, resulting in thinner, sagging skin and increased visibility of the tendons and veins, as well as age spots. Fortunately, for patients unhappy with the appearance of their hands, there are several minimally invasive cosmetic procedures available that can correct the signs of aging and restore smooth, youthful skin. We understand that before and after pictures have become the norm for most websites. Our distinct patients request we do not use their photos on our site, so out of respect for their wishes we will be happy to show you our portfolio in office at your consultation. Benefits of Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Laser Skin Rejuvenation | Facial Rejuvenation | BOTOX Montreal Over time, our skin changes as a result of aging, sun damage and several other factors, causing wrinkles, pigmentation, and scarring to develop on our faces. Many patients unhappy with these changes seek cosmetic treatments to restore their appearance and maintain a beautiful, youthful and fresh face. These nonsurgical treatments safely and effectively enhance the appearance of the skin while still allowing patients to look like themselves. There are several different treatments available to help reverse or improve facial changes and allow patients to restore a refreshed, younger-looking appearance that reflects the way they feel about themselves. Many patients choose to combine one or more rejuvenation options, or to combine their treatment with plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift or brow lift to maximize results. Types of Facial Fillers we offer Intradermal injections of hyaluronic acid (a natural substance present in all living organisms) can fill in expression lines, wrinkles, irregularities, scars and depressions. Dr. Borsuk uses all the brands available on the market, choosing the different products to best treat particular areas. The most common areas for treatment are the lines around the nose and mouth, lips, cheeks and chin for contouring and enhancement. Dr. Borsuk can also use filler to perform non-surgical rhinoplasties to correct slight bumps of the nose. The results usually last from 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler and the individual patient, and can be repeated to maintain results. Neuromodulator injections (Botox®) Botulinum toxin type A is a neuromodulator that is found in products such as Cosmetic Botox®, Dysport® and Xeomin®. Neuromodulators are used to reduce the signs of aging. Botox Cosmetic® in particular is used in dermatology to rejuvenate the skin and reduce the appearance of expression lines. The most common treatment areas are frown lines, crow’s feet, upper-lip lines (smoker’s lines) and forehead lines. Botox Cosmetic® can also be used to diminish neck and nose wrinkles, as well as used along the jawline to define and reshape strong jawlines. The amount of units used can determine how subtle or remarkable you want the results to be. Dr. Borsuk always favours natural subtle results, making patients look rested and softer looking without giving them a "frozen" look. The treatments are equally popular for men and women, since there is little downtime. The results vary from one patient to the next and the area treated, but 4 to 6 months is usually the average duration before needing to repeat. Laser Skin Rejuvenation Laser skin rejuvenation may involve the use of intense pulsed light (IPL), V-beam or ablative laser resurfacing ( C02) to reduce the signs of aging and improve the overall appearance of the skin. Laser treatments stimulate collagen production for improved aesthetic results. Patients often need several sessions to achieve their desired results, but this treatment can completely remove age spots and other unwanted spots on the skin. It is safer and less invasive than traditional resurfacing procedures.

  • Hand Rejuvenation

    Hand rejuvenation is a restorative treatment using skin fillers to replace lost volume and improve the overall appearance of the hand. Surgical techniques may also be used to remove cysts or other harmless but unattractive lesions that may develop on the hands. Your doctor will develop a customized treatment plan for each patient based on their aesthetic goals. Our hand rejuvenation services take 30 minutes to two hours to perform, depending on the techniques used and the extent of treatment required. Patients can return home shortly after the procedure. The skin of the hand is first injected with a biocompatible filler that stimulates collagen production and thickens the skin, making tendons and veins less visible. Laser treatments work with the filler to improve the texture of the skin while also removing sunspots and other unwanted blemishes. For most patients, desired results can usually be achieved after a series of three or four laser treatments spaced six weeks apart.
