By Dr. Bray Breast asymmetry refers to the difference in size or shape of a woman's breast, areola or nipple. Most women naturally have asymmetry between the breasts, and usually the difference is not very noticeable. It is when asymmetry becomes quite significant that women may consider undergoing a surgical correction. As with all breast procedures, it is best to wait until bodily development has finished before any correctional measures are taken. Your surgeon will examine the size, shape, skin quality, and nipple and areola placement to determine how this procedure will best suite you. Treatment is customized to your specific characteristics and is based on physical features as well as the desired result. The procedure may correct one or both of the breasts and could involve a reduction, augmentation or lift to achieve symmetry. The breasts and nipples will be repositioned as best as possible to match in position, size and shape. After surgery dressings will be worn ...

By Dr. Peter Bray Moles are extremely common and everyone has them. Most of them are benign and do not have to be removed medically. If you are concerned that your moles are changing or look suspicious, you should consult your General Practitioner or Dermatology to make sure that they are not worrisome. Some of the benign ones can be irritating or itchy and they can appear in areas that are not cosmetically pleasing. We offer surgical removal of them and strive to give you the best scar possible. Most of the time, it is a relatively simple procedure that takes no more than 10 minutes. It is often done under local anesthesia with no downtime.  As we age, we tend to get more “spots” on our face and body unfortunately. Like moles, they can cause irritation and they can be unsightly. These spots can be black, brown, yellow, red, skin colored and occasionally other colours. It is extremely common for people to seek removal of them and the procedures are relatively painless and qu...

By Dr. Peter Bray Age causes the elasticity in skin to weaken and this can result in wilting and drooping breasts. For women who are satisfied with the size of their bust but are unhappy with the shape and sagging, a lift can be the right surgery choice. The procedure raises the breasts and gives the bust a youthful and perky look.   Commonly, three incisions are made; one around the areola, one vertically from the areola to the breast’s crease and one horizontally beneath the breast. Excess skin is surgically removed and the nipple and areola are shifted to a higher position and reattached. After one to three hours of surgery and about two weeks of recovery, the bust will take on a firmer shape and a rejuvenating look.   Are there complementary procedures that can be conducted during the same surgery?   Breast augmentation surgery is often combined with a breast lift. Many women add a youthful lift to their new enhanced bust and both procedures can be performe...

Nose Reshaping By Dr. Peter Bray Nose reshaping is a procedure intended for adults who wish to reshape the structure of their nose to better suite their appearance. This may involve changes such as reducing its size, correcting the nostrils, reshaping it or fixing injury.  It is important to let your surgeon know if you have difficulty breathing through your nose, suffer from related allergies, or often use nasal spray. Surgery will be customized based on the quality of your skin as well as the size and shape of your nose. You surgeon may recommend chin reshaping to improve on your facial balance. This procedure can be undertaken concurrently.  In most cases, all incisions will be made inside your nose and will be invisible. If any are needed outside, they will be hidden by the natural crease between your nose and cheek. Sometimes an incision is made on the skin between the nostrils, but it too will be inconspicuous. Your surgeon will alter the framework of your nos...

What is a Forehead / Brow Lift? By Dr. Peter Bray Brow Lift In the past, surgeons often chose to perform an upper eyelid lift to correct sagging, whereas today, a brow lift is often used to create the same result. Patients sometimes focus their attention on excess skin in the upper eyelids, when it is the eyebrows that are the cause of the problem.  A brow lift can be performed alone or in conjunction with a facelift to tighten muscles in the middle and lower face. Even younger adults may benefit from this procedure, such as those who have a naturally low brow, or who already have deep frown lines.  Whether eyelid surgery or a brow lift is better for you will depend on things such as the position of your eyebrows, the amount of upper eyelid skin you have, and the height of your hairline.  This procedure is designed to be inconspicuous once healed. Often, an incision is hidden in the hair or placed just in front of the hairline. Your surgeon can modify muscles t...

Butt Implants  By Dr. Peter Bray Butt implants or Gluteal augmentation is for those who feel they lack proper buttock tissue, who have not developed proportionate gluteal muscles or who simply desire to lift, shape or enlarge their buttock. Anyone who is in good health and physical condition can undergo this procedure to improve their natural curves or create a more proportioned appearance. Other augmentations, such as breast implants, are often requested at the same time to fully balance their figure. The implants are placed above the sitting area for the best results, and are set in various ways. They can be placed between the muscles and the tissue that covers them, inside the muscle itself, or below the muscle. The incisions can be made above or below the buttock when inserting the implants, and your surgeon will compare both to ensure the best symmetry possible. You will see immediate results, and your buttock will continue to improve once your muscles heal in the...

What is a Labiaplasty? By Dr. Peter Bray www.cosmeticplasticsurgerytoronto.ca     The term Labiaplasty describes the surgical technique used to lessen the length of the Labia Minora. It is the most commonly performed Vaginal Rejuvenation technique and solves the problems associated with the unpleasant twisting, tugging and pulling of a enlarged Labia during vigorous activities, including sports or sex.  Why Labiaplasty? To alleviate discomfort, injury or embarrassment, associated with a large Labia. What does a Labiaplasty do? The objective of this procedure is to decrease the overall size and length of the Labia Minora, so that it no longer protrudes or hangs below the (hair covered) Labia Majora. A Labiaplasty may also be performed to decrease asymmetry or when one side of the Labia is longer than the other. It is also performed with the goal of stopping pulling or tugging during sports or sex and eliminating the chance of becoming vis...

What is a Vaginoplasty? D r. Peter Bray www.cosmeticplasticsurgerytoronto.ca Vaginoplasty is a technique used to rejuvenate the vagina. There are different options, including a noninvasive procedure which helps refresh the vagina by warming and tightening the associated tissues using Radiofrequency (RF) waves or lasers. Patients with more vaginal laxity may not benefit from this technique and are better candidates for a surgical Vaginoplasty. Reasons patients may need a Vaginoplasty: After giving birth many women notice increased laxity of the vagina tissues, a result of the passage of the baby and associated stretching and tearing during labour and delivery. This can cause some problems after giving birth, some of which may include; the inability to effectively use tampons and decreased pleasure during sexual intercourse. What does a Vaginoplasty achieve? A Vaginoplasty will tighten and improve the muscles that have become damaged and remove any addi...

Nipple Inversion Surgery D r. Peter Bray www.cosmeticplasticsurgerytoronto.ca Do your inverted nipples make you feel self-conscious?, or perhaps you are anticipating breastfeeding and want to make the process easier? Whatever your reasons a certified Cosmetic Surgeon can determine if you will benefit from corrective Nipple Inversion surgery. What Are Inverted Nipples? Inverted nipples are fairly common, they can happen when the ducts behind the nipple are formed in a way that makes them excessively tight. This causes the nipple to be pulled into the surrounding areola. Inverse areola can make it difficult to breastfeed- the nursing infant may not be able to hook onto the breast and bring the areola into his or her mouth. It is uncommon but the condition of Nipple Inversion can also occur in men. How Nipple Inversion Surgery is Performed Inverted areola can be easily rectified with minor surgery. The surgery is normally performed under local anesthet...
