Eric Bensimon, MD

I am 32 years old and my nose has always been a feature on my face that really bothered me. I finally decided that I wanted to have it done. I wanted a natural look…I hate sloppy noses that look like they have been redone but I really wanted a smaller more refined looking nose. I researched many doctors, went to 3 consultations and chose to go with Dr Bensimon. His credentials impressed me and I really connected with him, he really took the time to explain and answered all my questions. I felt he was honest and didn’t try to sell me something that wasn’t realistic for my face. His staff was also really nice and answered my concerns prior to the surgery. The surgery went very well, the pain was minimal and the bruising was not as bad as I expected thanks to a new ultrasound technique he uses. After 6 months I am beyond happy with the results and would highly recommend Dr Bensimon for this procedure.

I live in Vancouver and I’ve been looking for a FFS surgeon in Canada since I was reluctant to go in Asia or Mexico for surgery andUS surgeons are way too expensive for my budget. Fortunately we have here in Canada dr Bensimon based in Montreal who’s been offering FFS for 20 years. He has a reputation of delivering beautiful natural results in the most safest ways.
It was important for me to still look like my feminine me and avoid any permanent nerve damage or issues. I had for procedures done that lasted 8 hours. Forehead, nose job, vline and trach shave.
The surgery went well and the recovery was not as bad as I was anticipated it.
It’s been 6 months, I am extremely happy with the final product and I would do it again without hesitation. Dr Bensimon is a gentleman, kind and friendly.
Highly recommended.

This is an excellent, patient and caring plastic surgeon. He will only do an operation if you both deem it necessary (not to do a quick buck no matter what). I had breast implants and liposuccion done on 2 separate occasions, with great results (if you have realistic expectations), highly recommendable.

Dr Bensimon and his staff are very kind, friendly and willing to answer all my questions. The Dr was very thorough in explaining the procedure and the changes he was going to make. I felt very comfortable with him and completely trusted him. He delivered the perfect natural chest I was dreaming about. The appointment time is respected and they even provided me with a parking pass. Totally recommend Dr Bensimon clinic.

I would recommend this doctor to anyone in a heart beat. He is very knowledgeable, takes the time to answer all your questions and is very sensitive to your concerns and feelings. I had a breast augmentation and am EXTREMELY satisfied with the results. Exactly what I wanted and hoped for. Also I have hardly any bruising whish to me would mean very gentle. The Doc is just as kind post-op with answering questions and taking the time for any concerns. A+++++

Dr. Bensimon's skills are second to none. I underwent a full day total facial reconstruction procedure - the whole process lasted in excess of 7 hours - and I could not be happier with the results.

I am still myself, but a much, much better me.

I had a facelift, eyelid surgery and lip lift 6 month ago. Dr Bensimon was kind caring and he is very skilled surgeon. I suffered little pain and little bruising , after one week I was already able to go out with a scarf. I look refreshed and what I like the most is the fact that I look natural and myself. My scars are still a bit red but they are fine and almost perfect. I can't be more happy and grateful.

I had a good experience with my FFS and BA.
From the top down I had:
Brow Reduction - Type 3
Lip Lift
Trachea Shave
Breast Augmentation
From the initial consultation I really liked Dr. Bensimon. He had his own ideas of what I would “benefit” from as a trans woman, but was most concerned about what I wanted out of surgery. Of course I wanted everything he was offering but financially I had to choose the most important procedures to me. Both Dr. Bensimon and I agreed that the brow and the trachea shave procedures were my “must-do’s” to appear more feminine.
I’m happy with the results but I’ll let you be the judge. The pictures I attached are before, and 2 months after surgery.

Seeing as many reviews on here have makeup on the “after” shot I thought I’d add a picture of that.

Hello everyone, I wanted to add to my review because I’m unable to delete it and post a new one.
I wanted to show more results of my FFS with Dr. Eric Bensimon in Montréal. I believe that before and after pictures really give the most accurate “review” of a surgeon’s work.
I’m adding these latest photos because I have been accused of uploading fake images, or lying about who I am. So I scrolled deep into my camera roll and tried to find images where I was posing in a similar way, before AND after surgery to prove that these photos are actually real (and of me). You’ll even notice I’m in the same room for most of them, some are even old enough that it was the same room before we painted the walls.

Just thought I’d add some pictures for an update. These photos were taken a little less than 6 months post op.

I've always wanted to get a BA but wanted to make sure to have my kids first. After my second baby I finally decided to get an appointment and get my boobs done :) It's been a month now and I'm more than happy with the result so far!

Had my surgery in September just two weeks before the end of my maternity leaves!

Before the surgery my main concern was of course the size! I was struggling between 350 and 400cc. My doctor told me there was not a big different between the two sizes but I was still in big doubt! I wanted bigger breast for sure but didn't want something too obvious or fake. I was a small 34b and wanted a big C. My doctor recommended me 400cc and told me he would put more cause after surgery my breast would get smaller With time. So at the end he suggested me 450 on one side and 425 in the other (cause I had one boob that was smaller than the other one)! So voila, I decided to trust him!

The day of the surgery I was pretty stressed out but had my sister by my side! I suggest to go with someone who will calm you down! I had nothing to be scared of cause the whole staff at the clinic was all very nice and calm. To tell you guys the truth the surgery was less painful than I thought ! Actually I felt pretty good except for some nausea I had, but the pain itself was not that bad.

It took me only two days to recover (I'm was one lucky girl!) and after that I was able to walk anywhere in my house. After 5 days I was able to drive and even carry my kids (which I was not suppose to do...) .

At my one week post op appointment, my doc said that my breast were very nice and looked like they were 2-3 months post op. (Shape and softness)

After a month I'm pretty happy with the result and yeah my breast got smaller like my doctor told me! So don't hesitate to go bigger if you're not sure if the size you want!

So on my right side I had 450cc and left had 425cc. Took silicone gel (gummy bear) in moderate high profile.

So far so good! Happy two months! I'm really happy with my results and can't ask for more! I went to my appointment yesterday with my surgeon and he said my breasts looked great and were really soft. I'm a bit scared about how fast they will drop but for now they still look pretty good! I went also bra shopping and I'm wearing 32DDD or 34DD ... Pretty scary number but they are not that huge.

So today i had a huge concern about my implants... Actually I thought they looked great until I started to compare my old pics from my one month post op. What I noticed was that my implant got closer... Like really close less than half a cm. I'm a bit concern and I sent an email to my surgeon to see if he could meet me again... I hope it's nothing!

I still like my boobs, not totally in love. I think they are a little too big/wide for my frame. Also I think they are too close together, probably cause they are too big... Anyways At the end of the day they are way nicer than my previous tiny boobs! ;)

Funny how one day I can love my breasts and the day after hate them. I am about to go to the spa and I decided to go buy some bikinis. Here are some pictures I'm sharing you so you can see how my boobs look! Also in one picture you can see me wearing a Victoria secret bra (32DDD) that my bf bought me. :)

I have had 3 kids I breastfed way too long and then lost a lot of weight. My boobs were finished. My nipples are now where they should be! I couldn't have had a better experience so far.
I was really quite ambivalent about getting any kind of cosmetic procedures, especially one where my nipples were going to get cut out (yikes!). I am so happy I picked this doctor.

RHINOPLASTY WAS A COMPLETE DESASTER (and nightmare)

I underwent a rhinoplasty in 2019 (waited three years for final result and before explaining my awful story to be fair toward the surgeon). Long story short Dr. Bensimon completely failed the surgery which left me with a nose MUCH worst than the initial situation. When we followed-up two years later (last follow-up), he kind of admitted he was not expecting that result but (!) didn't even want to do a revision, being scared of a much worst result again. I finally found an amazing surgeons duo in L.A. who was specialized in rhino revisions. Right away, after reading the operative report they saw what mistakes had been done and I decided to go ahead with a second surgery with them. Result is so far (7 months post) SO MUCH BETTER!!!! Here are photos to help you visualize. (Oh and FYI, Dr. Bensimon never responded to an email I sent him explaining what ended up happening with my situation and kindly asking him for any kind of reimbursement (he charged me around 8000$ and the American surgeons another 25k US!!!!!)

Not to mention my last three years have been a freakin nightmare emotionally.....
