A surgeon-led plastic and cosmetic surgery practice in Barrie.
A plastic and cosmetic surgery practice on Mapleview Drive West, led by Dr. Kamal Tumi. Surgery and non-surgical treatment are both done here. Both are assessed by the surgeon who can perform either. Nobody is sold the option that happens to be available.
Twenty-two years operating in Barrie.
Dr. Kamal Tumi, M.D., F.R.C.S.(C). In practice here since 2004, at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre and in the Mapleview Drive office. More than 28 years in the specialty, over 3,500 surgeries.
The difference
There is no shortage of places in Barrie offering cosmetic treatment, and very few of them are led by a surgeon. For an injectable that matters less. For anything involving an incision, an anesthetic, or a permanent change to where tissue sits, it is the entire question.
It also changes what you get told, because a practice that cannot operate can only recommend what it can do. Here the surgical answer, the non-surgical answer, and the answer that nothing needs doing are all available.
A letter to patients sets out how Dr. Tumi works. The line patients quote back to us most often is this one: "I will not do a surgery on you if you do not need it." That sentence costs money. A cosmetic surgery practice earns in the operating room. A surgeon who tells you that you do not need an operation gives up the fee. What you get instead is the right answer.
Not everything needs an operating room, and treating it as though it does makes procedures more expensive and more daunting than they need to be. A number of procedures are performed here in our own office under local anesthetic. Upper eyelid surgery, the procedure Dr. Tumi performs most often, is the clearest example. No general anesthetic, no operating-room booking, and a considerably simpler day for the patient.
Dr. Tumi has been a consultant plastic surgeon at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie since 2004. Hospital appointments are not decorative. They are held by surgeons whose credentials and practice are reviewed by their peers. The appointment is also what lets a surgeon manage complications in hospital. Complex reconstructive work stays with him instead of being sent elsewhere.

I had my first consultation with Dr. Tumi, and he was beyond fabulous. From the jump, he shook my hand and introduced himself to my daughter and I. He included her in the conversation and even had some laughs with her. This made the situation alot less vulnerable given the reason I was there. He is the second surgeon that I have met with, and wasn't going to be my last, until I decided he was the last…

Deciding to get a breast reduction with Dr. Tumi was hands-down the best decision I’ve ever made. The results are amazing and the recovery was much easier than I anticipated thanks to their clear post-op care instructions. The clinic staff is warm, professional, and always quick to answer questions. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience with Dr. Tumi and Karyn throughout my entire surgical journey. They were both incredibly kind, patient, and always took the time to answer all of my questions. From my first consultation to my follow-up appointments, they made me feel comfortable, supported, and well cared for. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering.

You do not need to arrive knowing which procedure you want. Describing what bothers you is enough. You are not committing to surgery by booking a consultation.
FAQ
Yes. He holds an M.D. and is certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada as a specialist in plastic surgery. That certification separates a plastic surgeon from a physician who offers cosmetic treatment. He has been a consultant plastic surgeon at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre since 2004.
In everyday use they are used interchangeably, and both terms describe most of what we do. Strictly, plastic surgery is the recognized surgical specialty, which includes reconstructive work. Cosmetic surgery describes procedures done to change appearance. Dr. Tumi is qualified in the specialty.
It depends on the procedure. Some, including upper eyelid surgery, are done in our own office under local anesthetic. Larger procedures are booked in an operating room, and which setting applies to you is confirmed at your consultation.
Yes. Male patients are a normal part of the practice. Eyelid surgery and gynecomastia are the usual reasons, and skin procedures are common too. ---

Yes, for anything surgical, and for most non-surgical treatment too. The consultation is an examination and a conversation. Dr. Tumi looks at what is actually causing what you see, tells you what can and cannot be changed, and gives you a written quote afterwards. You are not asked to decide on the day.
Dr. Tumi performs every surgery and every injection himself. The surgeon who assesses you is the surgeon who operates. Laser, CoolSculpting, Morpheus8 and skin treatments are delivered by the clinic's trained clinical staff, under his direction.
Yes. Cosmetic procedures are not covered by OHIP, and we work with three financing providers: Beautifi, Medicard and Credit Medical. Every quote is given in writing at the consultation, so you know the full figure before you decide anything.
Dr. Tumi examines the area himself. He explains what he finds in plain language, including what he would not recommend, and offers the smaller option where one exists. You leave with a written quote and time to think. If nothing surgical is the honest answer, you will be told so.
