Hi there,

Is there anyone in Ontario, Canada, who has had bilateral breast reconstruction with implants who is really happy with their results? This is the procedure I had - tissue expanders exchanged for implants a year ago. I am having a number of issues and would like to get an opinion from another plastic surgeon. Since it will likely take about a year to get a consult, I am hoping to get by some recommendations from members here. If you are not comfortable posting publicly, please send me a private message.

Thanks SO much for any info you can provide!

    I have heard great things about Dr. Stefen Hofner in Toronto, I believe he is out TGH and works in conjunction with another doctor (her name escapes me right now).
    His waiting list is at least a year for a consult and probably that and longer for surgery.  He comes highly recommended from my oncologist!

    I had Dr. Toni Zhong from PMH and am also happy. I am being referred to Dr. Brown for a second opinion for a nipple issue that resulted from a very bad tattoo experience.

    Thanks so much for responding, Curlylocks and Mantra!

    Mantra, did you have two-stage bilateral reconstruction that was not skin or nipple sparing? I only ask because that's what I had. Also (and please don't reply if it makes you feel uncomfortable), was the bad tattoo experience a medical tattoo associated with nipple & areola reconstruction? If so, what happened? I had nipple recon but my nipple grafts healed flat and I have a pigmented ring around one areola. I am waiting for a follow-up for those issues.

    Thanks again!
