Procedures I'm known for
Post-Pregnancy Procedures
A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures that address postpartum changes in the body, such as loose skin, droopy breasts, excess fat, and stretch marks. They can include breast augmentation, breast reduction, or a breast lift, and some form of body contouring—most commonly a tummy tuck.
Good candidates for a mommy makeover have completed their families and finished breastfeeding. They also need to be near their ideal body weight. When someone is very heavy, their tissues are quite firm, and you can’t remove as much skin and fat as you want. For someone at or near their ideal weight with loose skin and excess fat, you can really tighten that up.
Mommy makeover surgery significantly increases self-esteem and improves the overall quality of life for many women, but it’s also important to have realistic expectations. I tell patients at my Toronto office that they can’t expect perfection, but they’re going to look a lot better—sometimes even better than before they had children.
Breast Surgery
Breast augmentation is the procedure I perform the most at my Toronto practice. My goal is to give you breasts that are proportional and natural, in look and feel. Three unique aspects of how I perform breast augmentation surgery help me achieve this: 1) Dimensional technique. Taking various measurements and your height and weight into account, I can accurately calculate which breast implant size best fits your body, based on your goals. 2) Bloodless breast augmentation. With my technique, there’s no bleeding before the implant goes in. It’s a gentler way to do the surgery that leads to faster recovery, with less swelling, bruising, and pain. 3) “No-touch” technique. I insert breast implants with a special funnel so there’s no potential for contamination. This helps reduce the risk of capsular contracture, a tight capsule of scar tissue that can form around an implant. Capsular contracture occurs in up to 10% of breast augmentations, but I’ve been able to keep a low rate of just 1%.
Abdominoplasty
Tummy-tuck is one of the most common procedures I perform. I do approximately 50 tummy-tucks a year, about one person a week. My goal is to give you a flatter, tighter, natural-looking abdomen. To achieve this goal, I use the latest abdominoplasty techniques, customized to your particular body. Liposuction of the area is always included. I have lectured on this topic at conferences, and have appeared on TV to discuss abdominoplasty.

RealSelf Q&A with Dr. Edelstein
RS: What inspired you to become a surgeon?
JE: I found that surgery was more involved than other medical specialties—the technical aspect of it and how you get to use your hands. I considered other surgical specialties, but I was blown away by the variety of plastic surgery—not just cosmetic, but reconstructive surgery as well, which I often still do.
RS: What’s a consultation with you like?
JE: A consultation at my Toronto office is about getting to know patients and learning their goals and desires. Patients are never rushed during a consultation—I want them to be comfortable and well-informed, and I always take the time to answer questions and understand their expectations. The bottom line is that I love what I do, I care about my patients, and I want them to know that I’ll do my very best for them.
RS: What sets your practice apart?
JE: In addition to focusing on just a few procedures to reach an elite level of expertise, we try to be sure every patient has what we call a Four Seasons experience. Like the hotel’s dedication to the highest standards, we want to provide the ultimate patient experience from beginning to end, in terms of service and quality of the surgery.
RS: How would you describe your approach to plastic surgery?
JE: Transformative aesthetic surgery is definitely a merger of art and science, but, overall, I’d describe my process as being meticulous. With breast augmentation, for example, I take a lot of measurements in order to figure out what breast implants fit the person properly.
I really pay attention to details and don’t leave anything to chance. For instance, while little puckers of skin where the incision ends (“dog ears”) are common after tummy tucks and often go away after a while, I correct them there and then. Some surgeons are more laid-back, but I sweat the small stuff.
