Q: What is the difference between a facial plastic surgeon and a general plastic surgeon?

A facial plastic surgeon performs cosmetic and reconstructive surgery on the face, head and neck regions only. Training includes a five-year residency in Otolaryngology, Head and Neck surgery, followed by a one- to two-year sub-specialty fellowship in facial plastic and cosmetic surgery. A general plastic surgeon performs mainly body procedures. Training includes a five-year general plastic surgery residency. If a patient is considering a cosmetic procedure for the face, a facial cosmetic surgeon is truly the best specialist to choose.

Q: What happens during the consultation phase?

The initial consultation is conducted personally and privately with Dr. Torgerson. He will ask about the changes you are looking for and inquire about your relevant medical history. From the doctor’s perspective, the consult allows him to assess your individual situation from a medical and aesthetic viewpoint. It also provides an ideal opportunity for you to discuss and identify the goals of your cosmetic surgery or your non-surgical procedure. Depending on the type of procedure involved, the doctor can also offer insights about the actual treatment and the healing process as well as answer any questions or clear up any misconceptions you may have. The consultation can also include use of the Vectra 3D imaging system to provide a more detailed evaluation of your physiological structural parameters. Dr. Torgerson can then discuss your facial cosmetic procedure options in greater depth and use sophisticated computer imaging programs to visualize potential outcomes. If you are considering a more complex combination of procedures, you can choose to have them performed in a single session or spread out over a period of months. Once you and the surgeon have decided upon the nature of your improvements and the timetable, we can then begin planning for the surgery or the non-surgical treatment.

Q: How long will my surgical procedure take, and can I return home immediately?

Nasal and facial cosmetic surgery procedures vary in duration from less than an hour to four hours. Please review our procedures page for more detailed times or ask the doctor. Depending on the type of procedure involved, you may be released to return home immediately; in the case of more advanced surgeries, you may want to take a nurse home with you. The recovery time for swelling and bruising will of course be longer for procedures that are more extensive.

Q: What is the cost of surgery?

Fees will vary depending on the surgeon you choose, the procedure you desire and the complexity of your needs. In general, prices can range from a few hundred dollars for a non-surgical cosmetic procedure to several thousand for a more intensive surgery.

Q: What are the risks of cosmetic surgery?

Each procedure in cosmetic surgery carries an element of risk and complication. However, as a patient you can help to minimize risk by exercising due diligence when choosing your surgeon. Start by making sure the surgeon is fully qualified. Here in Canada, this means that they would have the designation FRCSC after their name, which stands for “Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada”. It is an even better sign if the surgeon has completed a fellowship in their specialty area (i.e. a Fellow of Facial Plastic Surgery vs. a general surgeon or family doctor). Check the standard of the surgical facilities. If the surgeon operates out of an accredited and approved facility, this means that the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario have awarded that facility the highest standard of safety and quality – comparable to a hospital. Not all cosmetic surgeons necessarily operate out of accredited facilities, but it is preferable. Dr. Torgerson takes an extra measure of care by also ensuring that all nursing and technical staff are fully trained and selected for their extensive hospital experience.
