The Top 4 Plastic Surgeons in Montreal for the Transformation You’ve Always Wanted!

Credentials - Proper background, training, and professional affiliations are essential to ensure they can perform surgeries safely.

Specialisation and Results- A plastic surgeon who can perform various types of face and body surgeries can accommodate more clients. More importantly, their track record of successful results showcases their expertise.

Availability and Communication - The patients must be informed throughout, ensuring they know all the risks, as well as have access to post-op support. It also helps if booking an appointment is a breeze, even with a waiting time.

Fees - Plastic surgery isn’t going to be cheap, so we prioritised surgeons with rates that align with their track record, results, and pre and post-op care.

In this day and age, access to plastic surgery isn’t hard to get, whether for cosmetic reasons or if it’s medically necessary. But the thing is, it’s not exactly easy to find one you can trust.

Plastic surgery is an invasive procedure, and it can be tough to find a reliable surgeon with a solid track record. We want optimal results from an experienced surgeon, not overpromises—and that is why we need to look out for red flags.

So, my team and I decided to begin the process. We’ve listed the best plastic surgeons in Montreal, who were chosen based on their qualifications, experience, professionalism, and proven results!

Dr. James Lee is one of our most trusted board-certified plastic surgeons. His career began in reconstructive surgery, which gives him strong expertise in both aesthetics and function.

He specialises in men’s and women’s plastic surgery, including procedures such as Mommy Makeover, Menopause Makeover, Tummy Tuck, and Liposuction. It’s beneficial to have a surgeon who works across both genders, as he can address a wide range of gender-specific concerns.

What we’ve seen has been impressive. Patients we surveyed were highly satisfied with their results, with Dr. Lee focusing on enhancements that look natural rather than overdone.

This is consistent with his patient-centred approach, where he carefully considers each patient’s unique anatomy and goals. His transparency and willingness to decline patients who are not suitable candidates also reflect strong ethical standards.

Dr. Lee does have limited openings for plastic surgery, but wait times are generally manageable. His staff also assists with scheduling to help streamline the process.

Pros

  • Offers men’s and women’s surgeries
  • Focuses on natural enhancements
  • Considers the patient’s anatomy and goals
  • Transparent about the surgery

Cons

  • Limited openings

I absolutely love every single part of my experience

“I had a mastopexy, without implant done by Dr. Lee three weeks ago. I absolutely love every single part of my experience so far. From the consultation, to the appointments leading up to the surgery, to the day of the surgery as well as the thorough follow ups post-op. Dr. Lee and his team are very professional and pay high attention to details. I’m only 3 weeks post-op but I’m already super excited about the results and the way that my scars are healing. I feel so good about my decision and I have felt safe and supported throughout the whole process. Thank you Dr. Lee and the amazing team for everything!!!”

The procedure went super smoothly

“I had a great experience with Dr. Lee and his team! The procedure went super smoothly. The recovery was almost a breeze. I didn’t have any complications. I knew from the first consultation that I chose the right doctor. He put me in confidence and I put my full trust in him. Everything he was saying was within reason and care. I could tell he is a meticulous person. The whole team is very warm and caring along the way. And the office is very modern and clean. All in all, totally recommend!”

When it comes to expertise, Dr. Arash Izadpana doesn’t disappoint. He’s a board-certified plastic surgeon who is also the Chief of Plastic Surgery at the CISSS des Laurentides.

His track record is nothing short of impressive, as he’s performed surgeries on thousands of patients. He mainly specialises in mommy makeovers, but also performs men’s surgeries, albeit limited.

In addition, he works on cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries, including arthritis-related concerns. Add those to non-surgical procedures, and his specialisation is incredibly vast.

Dr. Izadpanah has performed exceptional surgeries, regardless of the patient’s age. The post-op results we’ve seen have been unique for every patient, whilst looking natural—the kind that people won’t know you’ve had surgery.

As far as communication goes, we saw no problems because he and his staff have been responsive pre and post-op, even with a busy schedule. We appreciate them for making sure that every patient is informed and reassured throughout.

Pros

  • Chief of Plastic Surgery at CISSS des Laurentides
  • Performs cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries
  • Specialises in mommy makeovers
  • Unique, natural results
  • Highly responsive

Cons

  • Limited men’s surgery options

An excellent surgeon

“I have had a few surgeries over the years and I can say with confidence that Dr Arash Izadpanah and his staff are excellent.  I had an extended upper arm lift with lip with Dr Arash Izadpanah in late October.  Dr Izadpanah is an excellent surgeon.  He takes the time to answer all your questions and I am super happy with my results.  The staff is also excellent, from the surgical coordinator to the nurses.  Any questions I had were promptly answered and there  is support after surgery.  Thank you to Dr Arash and his team.  I will definitely be back.”

I felt confident and well-informed at every step

“Dr. Arash Izadpanah is a great surgeon. The entire procedure went smoothly, and I felt confident and well-informed at every step. I’m so happy with the results and highly recommend him! His team was also very caring and supportive before and after the surgery, which was a  relief.”

We were nothing short of impressed by Dr. Mirko Gilardino, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Montreal with over two decades under his belt. His previous work in children’s reconstructive surgery gives him in-depth knowledge of complex cases.

His long list of credentials is outstanding, including being the former director of McGill University Health Care’s plastic surgery program. Now, he heads two plastic surgery clinics in Montreal: in Centre-ville and Royalmount.

All his experience also means he specialises in a wide range of facial, breast, and body procedures. Some of these include rhinoplasty, abdominoplasty, and breast revision.

What truly deserves a highlight is his patient-centred approach, where he seeks the best-looking results for his patients. All this whilst considering safety and options that will work for their body, without being pushy, mind you.

A little heads up: Dr. Gilardino’s services are a tad pricey. It makes sense, though, given his wide expertise and extensive training in the field.

Pros

  • Experienced in children’s reconstructive surgery
  • Knowledgeable in complex cases
  • Long list of credentials
  • Patient-centred approach
  • Has two clinics

Cons

  • Pricier rates

The best experience

“The best experience. The support staff is amazing and one of the most important parts when considering plastic surgery. They were beyond kind, considerate and patient. I am so grateful for the results from  Dr. Giraldino amazing expertise. He performed a corrective surgery from a previous surgery with a different doctor. Wish I had come here to begin with! Thank you soooo much for an amazing experience.”

An amazing team that makes you feel safe from beginning to end

“I had the pleasure to meet Dr. G and his wonderful staff for a procedure and have to say it is an amazing team who makes you feel safe from beginning to end….before surgery and post op with follow ups.  I need to say that I am so very pleased with my results….I would recommend 100% this clinic anytime Thank you so much to all of you Sylvie T.”

Our team wasn’t at all surprised that Dr. Ali Izadpanah made it to our list, a triple board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Montreal who has experience working on complex medical cases, including microsurgical reconstruction.

One of the highlights is his work in men’s and women’s plastic surgery, and he has a vast expertise. He does face, breast, and body procedures, such as breast augmentation, and a good range of intimate surgeries.

Moreover, we were pleased with the range of men’s surgeries he performs. There are the gladiator male makeover (the equivalent of a mommy makeover), abdominal etching, and male breast reduction.

Incredibly, Dr. Izadpanah practices in two clinics: Station-L Medispa and Westmount Surgical Institute. Thus, he’s a busy surgeon, so expect a longer waiting time than usual, even at the clinic for initial appointments.

He’s worth the wait, anyway. During our surveys, most clients were happy with his professionalism and the results they got, which were transformative and refined.

Pros

  • Triple board-certified
  • Experienced in complex surgeries
  • Offers men’s and women’s procedures
  • Provides a range of intimate procedures
  • Works in two clinics in Montreal

Cons

  • Busy; longer waiting time

I had a beautiful experience

“I had a beautiful experience with Dr Ali and his team. Dr Ali always has a smile in his face that made me feel good and confident. I got to trust him and wanted me to nget my surgery done by him . I’m happy he  did my boobs job. I still have to wait for the final results but so far Dr Ali did what I asked him and listened to me with patience and professionalism. The nurses were very friendly and helpful specially Leticia. His coordinator Alicia listened to my request since the first day I contacted her for my consultation appointment. She managed all for me with experience .  Dr Ali, continue doing a great job 👏🏻A big thank you. I will recommend you anytime.”

An excellent surgeon

“Dr. Ali Izadpanah is an excellent surgeon. I have had several procedures with him, and each time everything went very smoothly. I experienced no complications. He truly listens to his patients’ needs and takes the time to understand what they want. I recently had a breast augmentation with him, and the surgery went perfectly. I absolutely love my results and would highly recommend him.”
