Benjamin Gelfant, MD, FRCSC (retired)

He made my boobs look a lot better after the implants were taken out. I did not like my puffy veins and large Areolas. The not-so-ideal implants were a bust. Quite literally. He took those ruptured things out, and did a breast lift and patched me up nicely. I’ve gained wait since I had breast implants (115lbs to 150lbs) and my natural breasts are a lot more comfortable.

Dr Gelfant was personable, professional and I am so very happy with my results! I can’t believe the magic he worked on me. Very grateful I found him! Jessie and Kristy were also great and very helpful. Surgery clinic and staff were amazing as well! Cannot say enough good things about my whole experience.

I did 375cc salines! This is my update from months 2-5 since last time I posted. I have had a couple openings- I was FREAKED out but dr G took the time to FaceTime me and have a look and reassured me that all was normal and advised how to care for the openings. They have no since healed but now I am working on minimizing my scar appearance.
I do wish they were closer together and I sometimes think silicone would be softer, but that is something I need to discuss with Dr G more. I do have those couple nit picks but other than that I am still so happy! Best decision I have ever made!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Gelfant and his team. From beginning to end they have been nothing but kind, patient and accommodating.

I've had asymmetrical breasts since puberty and after years of putting it off I finally went to get a consult and immediately felt that I was in good hands with Dr. Gelfant. His knowledge and skills are phenomenal.

I got a breast reduction and fat transfer late April and although I'm still healing I'm super happy with how my breasts are looking. Dr. Gelfant is a miracle worker and I cannot recommend him enough.

Dr. Gelfant did an amazing job with my breast lift and implant surgery. He was very knowledgable and he took great care of me. I really love my results and am very happy I went with him. I definitely recommend him!

I have had many consultations over the years and never felt comfortable going with a surgeon that didn’t really listen. This was my experience until I met Dr. Gelfant.
He listened and came up with a plan that would give me the best results even though it meant being open minded about some of the procedure (where to make incisions).
I had limited time where I could be off work and his staff managed to get me in when it would work, which was a quick turnaround!

My advice to anyone considering breast augmentation is: to find a doctor that you are 100% comfortable with; to be realistic in your expectations; and to be patient with your final results.

Some of the advice that I found really helpful from Dr. Gelfant that made a huge difference. Stretching from day one! Not wearing a bra while I was healing.

Take the time to rest, listen to your own body and be patient!
I was back to simple workouts at 2 wks, a good solid workout routine by four weeks, and back to everything by week six.

I am extremely happy with my results.

After nursing two children, hormonal changes in my body, my breasts became misshapen. My daughter recommended Dr Gelfant since she and her friends have used him for different procedures. I am very happy with my results as is my husband. The follow up has been great. The staff have always been courteous and take the time to insure any messages are passed on. I highly recommend this clinic

I could not be more grateful for Dr. Gelfant and his team for the work they did. I had been considering getting a BA for YEARS and finally committed in the summer of 2022. I did endless research on different doctors, sizes, implant type, you name it and when I booked the initial consult with Dr. Gelfant I was still considering seeing a couple of other surgeons in Vancouver. After my consult I was committed, there was no need for me to have my other appointments.

Dr. Gelfant was VERY honest and upfront with the results I could expect and definitely didn't sugar-coat anything (which I appreciated). Based on my proportions he advised that I aim for the 325cc-350cc range. Knowing that I wanted lager implants (I am heavily into fitness and my weight can fluctuate anywhere from 15-25lbs whether I am putting on mass or cutting), I requested that we opt for the largest implant he thought would fit well with my natural structure which ended up being 400cc.

Pre-op I was a 34B(ish), Dr. Gelfant was able to give me an amazing result with 400cc, pushing me to a 34D-DD (depending on the bra). To my surprise, when Dr. Gelfant was in surgery he was actually able to push out my natural breast pocket, creating more space for my implants, which gave me an even better result! Now 3 months post-op I can easily say that I wouldn't change a thing. My implants are very proportionate and look natural yet 'enhanced'.

Dr. Gelfant and team and everyone at the Cambie Surgery Centre are top-notch, highly recommend!

I came to Dr Gelfant after a horrible experience from a prior breast augmentation that ended in an infection and explant - causing a deformity (different surgeon). Dr. Gelfant listened thoroughly to my story and expressed his concerns with my case. He reminded me that we had to be realistic about my results but believed he could help restore my confidence. I was booked for surgery just over a month after my consult. Due to my past experience, I had several concerns come up the week before surgery. Dr Gelfant kindly met with me for an additional in person consult and facetime call to ease my mind. The surgery went better than he expected and his team was efficient and supportive throughout the process. One day post op I had a concern come up and Dr Gelfant took an after hours call to calm me down and reassure me everything was ok. Overall I’m very happy with my results and thankful for Dr Gelfant’s knowledge and amazing work. The bottom of my breasts (the fold area) are a bit different from one side to the other due to my deformity from the infection, but considering what I came in with, he worked serious magic. Definitely recommend!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Galfant for almost 10 years which is why I continue to go back to him. He’s brutally honest and walk you through each procedure from start to finish. He doesn’t candy coat and his very warm, kind and an exceptional bedside manner: He sees you through every stage of your recovery and I felt safe and secure that my procedure was the right decision for me. Dr. Galfant never recommends procedures that he doesn’t think you need nor will he perform them just to make a buck. He is responsible, reliable, fastidious in his work and genuinely cares for his patients. I feel like family everytime I pop in for Botox with Sue. ( she’s amazing) The staff: Kristy and Jessie are conscientious, courteous and extremely efficient. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Best Cosmetic surgery team in Vancouver. You will never be disappointed. If you’re thinking about plastic surgery, go for it!! It’s an investment in yourself. You will add to your beauty, I promise you!!

My journey began 18 years ago when Dr. Gelfant performed by breast augmentation. He is such a gifted surgeon, very kind & caring. I loved my results. I had saline implants with no visible scars. At age 59, I no longer desired to have my implants and opted to have them removed for personal reasons. In October 2022, Dr. Gelfant removed my implants with local anesthesia. It was a quick and painless procedure. I am blessed that Dr. Gelfant was by my side every step of the way from beginning to end. He's truly the best plastic surgeon there is!
