Worth It8 months Post-Op
Long Term Patient of Dr David Ellis - Toronto, ON
I have been a patient of Dr Ellis for 30 years for a variety of non-surgical facial improvements. Any patient can feel confident with Dr Ellis as he is very experienced and knowledgeable. I believe he has always been on the front edge of new technologies that will benefit his patients. Friends and acquaintances always tell me I look much younger than my age, so I know his efforts have been very successful.
Currently I'm 5 days post op so I thought I'd write a review, considering how helpful this site has been. I had a size small Implantech extended anatomical chin implant placed via an incision under my chin. I also had liposuction done under my chin as I had a lot of excess fat when my face was at rest. I wanted a size small, as I just wanted a modest improvement, but still look like myself. For two weeks pre-op I avoided Advil, NSAIDS, vitamin E, and garlic, ginger or cayenne
Hello All! I joined this site on a few days ago, and today was my first day post op (day 1 of my recovery). I've wanted my nose done since the age of 12, and finally all the factors (being 100% sure, timing, money) came together. The surgery wasn't bad, and the post pain is a breeze, however the swelling has been quite a challenging! Last night (the day of my surgery) I started to balloon up, mainly around my cheeks, eyes, and between my eyebrows. My surgeon warned
Bio-alcamid Can Be Removed and Infection Treated!!!
It is not uncommon for bio-alcamid filler to become infected. You need to have removed by an expert. Don't waste your time with inexperienced doctors as they can make matters worse.
Unethical and Awful
I contacted Dr. Ellis' office to see about having Artefill, a permanent filler, removed. His office informed me that, yes, he removes Artefill, quoted a price, made me two appointments one month apart as that was required, instructed me to begin taking antibiotics two days before the procedure. At great expense and time, I arrived for my appointment, only to be told by Dr. Ellis that Artefill "is impossible to remove" after his confusion that I was there to have BioAlcamid removed.
Poor Knowledge or willingness to learn - Toronto, ON
I went to Dr. Ellis for Botox. The entire procedure took about 5-7 minutes. It was only when I went to pay that I found out he had injected 100 units. I’ve had Botox treatments several times before but only 50 units, which was more than adequate. About 8 or 9 days later I began experiencing difficulty with my vision. At the beginning it was blurry and by into the 10th day I was seeing double, which was only corrected by covering one eye. After going on line I found that
8 years post-op Rhinoplasty and chin implant- very unhappy
I had rhinoplasty and a chin implant placed over 8 years ago. Following surgery I was unhappy with the appearance of my nose, and within a year of surgery it was determined by an ENT surgeon that I had a hole in my nasal septum (which was clearly created during surgery since I had no history of trauma or drug use that would cause me to develop the hole). The hole has caused me to have breathing issues, irritation and chronic nasal discharge ever since. The chin implant was placed
Not Worth It90 months Post-Op
33 Years Old - North York, ON
I was a student that just graduated from University and wanted to get the rhinoplasty I so longed for. I went for the consultation ($150) and Dr. Ellis was confident and charismatic. I wanted ethnic rhinoplasty. I am African And Caucasian mixture. Dr Ellis showed me pictures and I thought his work was conservative. I wanted my bridge built up but didn't want my nostrils altered. He said he could achieve what I was looking for while maintaining a natural look. He didn't explain
Had a consultation with Dr. Ellis a couple of weeks ago and finally I'm going to get this done. I am an athlete and always had a double chin. I consider liposuction but glad this is an option now. My consultation n was very informative and I know this treatment is new is Canada. I know to expect swelling nothing some tylenol can't resolve. Very excited I'm doing this tomorrow. Updated on 22 Mar 2016: I had the Belkyra treatment today. very excited! The process didn't
I'm a happy person. I smile a lot. I laugh a lot. But when I'm not animated my face turns upside down from a smile to a frown. And I'm tired of people asking me if I'm OK. So, rather than looking like an always smiling idiot, I've decided after many years to get some "work done". I'm starting slow. Although I definitely need a neck and lower face lift, I'm going with filler for now. Altho I live in Fla, my significant other lives in Toronto where the American dollar is worth about
