Cost and Financing
What things cost, why the number moves, and how people pay for it.
Cost is one of the main reasons people wait. We would rather be straightforward about it than make you ask.
The sequence
Why we quote after the assessment, not before
To price a procedure, we first have to know which procedure you need. That takes an examination. The same procedure name covers quite different operations. A minor breast lift and a full one differ in surgical time. An upper eyelid procedure in our office under local anesthetic costs less than one in an operating room. So the sequence here is assessment first, then a written quote for the procedure you actually need.
Pricing
What moves the number
The single largest factor. A larger procedure takes longer, and the fee reflects that.
Upper eyelid surgery is one of several procedures done here in our own office, under local anesthetic. There is no operating-room booking and no general anesthetic. That costs meaningfully less than the same procedure in an operating room.
A general anesthetic involves a separate professional fee.
Two procedures done together often cost less than the same two done separately. The theatre time and the recovery overlap.

What is not covered by OHIP
Cosmetic surgery is not covered. That includes most of what is on this site. Functional and reconstructive work is assessed differently. If a procedure treats a documented medical problem, coverage is sometimes possible. That depends on the assessment and on the documentation. This is discussed honestly at the consultation. We will not tell you a cosmetic procedure is covered when it is not.
Financing
How paying for a procedure works
We work with three financing providers: Beautifi, Medicard and Credit Medical. Each lets you spread the cost over monthly payments rather than paying in full up front.
Your assessment
The assessment comes first. It settles which procedure you need, and that sets the price.
A written quote
The quote is for the procedure you actually need, and it is given to you in writing.
Monthly payments
Applying does not commit you to a procedure. Knowing the monthly figure is often what turns "someday" into a decision. It is worth doing before you decide something is out of reach.
An assessment and a conversation.
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
Common Questions About
Cost and Financing
It depends entirely on the procedure and on what you need. We quote each procedure after the assessment. You get that quote in writing.
Because the price depends on the procedure, and the procedure depends on the assessment. Without an examination, any number is a guess. It usually assumes the larger procedure.
Cosmetic procedures are not. Some functional and reconstructive work is assessed differently, and that is discussed case by case.
Yes, through Beautifi, Medicard and Credit Medical.
Often, yes, because theatre time and recovery overlap. Whether combining is appropriate is a clinical question before it is a financial one. ---
