Dr. Paul Whidden is a cosmetic plastic surgeon and a co-owner of Macleod Trail Plastic Surgery. He specializes in breast augmentations, tummy tucks and rhinoplasties.

He is certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. We believe these credentials reflect his industry-standard skills and years of experience.

What we like most is that the patients he’s worked with have praised him for his friendly and informative nature. Most anxious patients are well-accommodated to make sure that they go into surgery without any unanswered questions and hesitation.

Notably, he thoroughly assesses each patient to suggest the best procedures needed and provides realistic suggestions without trying to upsell unnecessary procedures. He also shows a sketch of the possible results to help patients make informed decisions.

Furthermore, we are impressed with the consistency of his successful surgeries, and you can view some of his work on their website.

But, as a heads up: you need to book at least six to eight weeks before your desired operation day due to their long waitlist. Although, their high demand is a good sign of quality work and results. 

We also learned that they aren’t involved with any contracts if you wish to avail third-party financing options, given that tummy tucks procedures are expensive.

Lastly, we love their continuous care for their patients, such as providing a recovery nurse after surgery and personally following up with their patients for at least the first year.

Dr. Earl Campbell, MD. received his certification in Plastic Surgery from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and has been in the industry for over 20 years. He specializes in body, face, breast, and anti-aging procedures.

We think it’s noteworthy that he is a member of local and international boards, such as the Canadian and American counterparts of the Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Additionally, he is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Calgary. This position is beneficial since it allows him to stay up to date with the latest research and advancements in cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.

We also heard good things about his skills and precise surgeries regarding tummy tuck procedures. Most patients we interviewed liked his efficiency and mentioned they had little to no scarring.

Moreover, we like how detailed-oriented Dr. Campbell is with his consultations and surgeries. He answers every query without any rush and discusses every goal to ensure everything is feasible for the best outcome.

Another thing we love is that their clinic utilizes digital imaging technology to show accurate results for your body using photography and simulation. We think this realistic visualization is crucial for patients to gain more confidence in the procedure.

On the downside, we noted some booking issues regarding hard-to-secure appointments and dropped sessions. In addition, their fees are also slightly more expensive than their competitors.

Dr. George Hamilton is Chief, Division of Plastic Surgery at Peter Lougheed Hospital in Calgary and a Clinical Assistant Professor Division of Plastic Surgery at the University of Calgary Medical School.

Dr. Hamilton performs almost all cosmetic procedures, such as tummy tucks, breast lifts, liposuction, and facelifts. 

His experience and skills are well-recognized, given his membership status with the Canadian and American Plastic Surgery associations. For us, this adds credibility to his services and shows that he meets industry standards.

Furthermore, most patients are satisfied with their tummy tucks procedures, especially young to middle-aged professionals and women. They also mentioned how Dr. Hamilton made them feel comfortable and safe before, during, and after surgery.

We also like how he sends detailed texts and includes photos if necessary to update appointments, answer additional questions, and provide assurance for his patients.

Unfortunately, they don’t have an online booking form, unlike other clinics in Singapore, so it’s best to make a phone call or visit them directly.

We also noted that they have a small team exclusively for Dr. Hamilton, which leads to long wait times.

On the bright side, patients can get a free initial consultation, particularly with tummy tucks and breast lifts — a rare offer and a great steal!

Finally, they are relatively cheaper than other clinics, and we appreciate how they consider staggered payments so patients can work with their budget.

Jeffrey C. Dawes, MD. is a member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and one of only two plastic surgeons in Canada trained in Mohs surgery.

We think his qualification for Mohs surgery or the procedure to treat skin cancer is a testament to his precision and competence in handling and operating on a patient.

We also heard good things about patients having successful outcomes despite their unique cases. For instance, Dr. Dawes successfully performed a tummy tuck on a diabetic patient while considering her special needs like insulin.

However, we noted some unpleasant occurrences, particularly with their staff being unprofessional towards patients and providing poor customer service.

On the other hand, the treatment plans Dr. Dawes draws up for each patient show attention to detail and consideration of his patients’ goals and overall situation. It has also helped the patients ease their nerves and boost their confidence.

We also like that they have a YouTube channel where they post informative videos such as various procedures, which we think gives potential patients a deeper insight into what they can offer and provide more information about them.

Lastly, we learned they offer financing options to help you get started on your tummy tuck journey. But, as a heads up: we suggest asking for a clear breakdown of their fees as early as possible since there have been reports of overcharging.

Ryan C. Frank, MD. FRCSC is a plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgeon and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada. He is also a member of the Canadian Medical Association and the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons.

We are impressed with his successful tummy tuck procedures for different patients, such as those who needed muscle repair and liposuction, those on a weight-loss journey, and those in for a mommy makeover.

Another thing we like is how informative Dr. Frank is to his patients to help them make the best decisions without being too pushy. Moreover, he is thorough consultations and pre-operative tests to ensure everything is in order.

He won’t hesitate to move your schedule even if it’s just trivial, like a barely below-average sugar level. We think this careful approach is one of the reasons patients get to enjoy desirable results.

We also appreciate their consistency with postoperative care to ensure a healthy and well-monitored recovery process.

Furthermore, his staff is also good at keeping the nerves at bay and is more than happy to answer any questions. 

On the downside, there are times when it’s hard to get a hold of them over the phone since no one is picking it up. 

They also have long wait times for surgery due to fully booked schedules and pre-operative procedures. 

Regardless, the entire team exhibits excellent care and attention to detail, which is something we want, especially since it involves a person’s body.
