+ If I need a few procedures, can I do them all at once?
Yes, often we can devise a customized treatment plan incorporating all interventions in one surgical setting. However, it is better in some cases to use a staged approach for the best long-term results.
+ Where are surgeries performed?
Eye Face Institute has a state-of-the-art surgical suite on site that is accredited by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.
+ How should I choose a surgeon?
The relationship between patient and surgeon is sacred and is one based on mutual trust, respect, and confidence. This is especially true when surgery is to be undertaken on the delicate structures around the eyes and face, which are not only highly visible from an aesthetic point of view but are also vital for clear vision and optimal facial health. You must do thorough research about your surgeon’s training and reputation but also listen to your gut feeling after consultation in person.
+ How much does a consultation cost?
The consultation fee for seeing an Eye Face Institute Medical Doctor for cosmetic services is $150.00+HST. Your consultation fee ensures personal, private one-on-one time with the Doctor. You’ll also be able to meet directly with other members of the clinic’s staff including surgical counselors.
+ How do I know if I'm a good fit for my treatment of choice?
During your consultation with us, we will thoroughly review your active issues and desired results to devise a customized treatment plan. Our philosophy is to present the pros and cons of all potential treatment options and then we help answer questions so you can make an informed decision.
+ What if I cannot afford the full price of surgery but would like to proceed?
Our Surgical Scheduler will help you apply for innovative financing options.
+ What if I find a surgeon who can do it cheaper?
Although we are 100% committed to ensuring that you receive much more value than the investment you make in terms of time and money with us, the final decision is always up to you. We encourage you to go with your gut feeling about which surgeon will deliver you the best value. A word of caution, however, is that in our experience, patients who require revision surgery suffer much more loss emotionally, physically, and financially so it’s crucial your surgery is done right the first time around.
