This was my second surgery with Dr. McGill, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. After searching for a doctor I could trust and build a long-term relationship with, I found exactly that with Dr. McGill. She is incredibly skilled, and her instructions are clear and easy to follow—doing so will ensure a smooth recovery. I also have to commend her entire team. Everyone is accommodating and friendly, making each visit a positive experience. If you're looking for a trustworthy and professional surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. McGill and her team.
I recently had the privilege of being a patient of Dr. McGill, and I can confidently say that my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, Dr. McGill and her team displayed a level of care and professionalism that immediately put me at ease. During our virtual consultation, Dr. McGill attentively listened to all of my concerns and desires. She took the time to thoroughly explain the risks involved and the necessary post-operative care. This level of thoroughness and attention to detail continued during my in-person consultation, where Dr. McGill answered all of my questions with patience and expertise. I left the consultation feeling confident that I was in the hands of a highly skilled surgeon. On the day of the surgery, Dr. McGill's comforting presence was a source of great reassurance. She walked me to the operating room and provided words of encouragement, helping to alleviate any anxiety I had. Her genuine care and compassion were evident throughout the entire process. Dr. McGill's team of nurses and the anesthesiologist were equally remarkable. The nurses in the recovery room took excellent care of me, ensuring my comfort and well-being. The anesthesiologist, too, was kind and supportive, wishing me a smooth recovery. Now, let's talk about the results. I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome of my surgery. Dr. McGill's expertise and skill are evident in the incredible results I have achieved. My breasts look phenomenal, appearing naturally lifted and sculpted. The attention to detail is truly remarkable, as my scars are practically invisible, cleverly concealed to ensure a seamless appearance. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, as I now feel confident and comfortable in my own skin. Furthermore, the recovery process has been surprisingly smooth. I have experienced no pain or discomfort, a testament to Dr. McGill's surgical technique and her team's commitment to optimal patient care. The healing process has been remarkable, and I am grateful for the meticulous aftercare instructions provided by Dr. McGill and her team.

J’étais tres complexé de cette parti de mon corps quand je suis aller voir Dr.Mcgill elle a tout de suite compris ce que je voulais je ne regrette rien et je suis satisfaite à 100% de l’expérience au complet
My eyes always zeroed in on my neck when I looked in the mirror. So I did something about it! Super happy with the results.Dr Sandra McGill is my go to doctor for all my restorative needs! I highly recommend her!
Dr. Sandra McGill is a fantastic surgeon and would recommend her without hesitation. I had a belt lipectomy (lower body lift). During my consultation I immediately felt compatible with Dr. McGill. She addressed all my husband’s and my concerns and convinced us that she is the right surgeon for me. The post-op care by Dr. McGill was great. Dr. McGill is a caring and compassionate person, and even though there were minor complications, Dr. McGill kept me and my husband at ease through my recovery period. Dr. McGill was always available for consultation by text (24/7). In my eyes Dr. McGill is a Star. Her staff, Anna (Dr. McGill’s Coordinator) who looked after me from beginning to end (pre-op and post-op care) answered all of my questions and always made me feel at ease. When I walk into the office the receptionist always made sure that I was looked after. Also the Nurses took great care of me before and after my surgery. Dr. McGill has an amazing team. Dr. McGill, you are an amazing surgeon, wonderful person and thank you so much.
I had an amazing experience with Dr McGill and her team. I had labiaplasty done on 19th of January, 2018. I am recovering but I can tell she has done an amazing job. She is very kind, motherly, gives straight answers and has a genuine concern for her patient's well-being. She also has amazing nurses and secretary. They have all been wonderful to me. I strongly recommend her.
I had a tummy tuck surgery with liposuccion. I followed the instructions provided before and after the surgery, and everything went well. Yes, it hurts but I knew that. Dr. McGill and her staff were fantastic and they answered any questions I had, either by phone or email, very promptly. Great outcomes, I'm very proud with the results.
I had my breast augmentation surgery with Dr.Mcgill about 2 month ago, and I am extremely satisfied with the experience! It started with my first visit to her clinic, I was obviously scared from going under the knife and besides not sure what size to go for as I wanted something really natural ... She greeted me to her clinic, started the conversation with a very pleasant and confident demeanor, we actually spent about 45 min in the first visit as she went through every thing in comprehensive but yet easy to understand details about how to choose the size, the surgery itself, possible complication and what to expect during recovery phase, and of course long term expectation... Then she scheduled another visit to give time to think through and decide on the implants after. The day of the surgery I presented early in the morning to the clinic, was greeted by the most friendly nurse ever, both OR and recovery nurses were super sweet, caring and considerate and made me really feel more relaxed. I met Dr.McGill again before the surgery as she talked to me to again with her very pleasant way as she was making the marking, after the surgery Vanessa would come and check in the first couple hours post op in a very calm voice making sure I was comfortable and not in pain, and then helped me getting ready once I was. Once I got home I was called in couple days by the clinic to make sure every thing was going okay. Overall i would highly recommend Dr.McGill, as i am super impressed and very happy with my experience with this knoweldgable and experienced surgeon, a very friendly staff and above all I am more confident and happy with my physique
After lots of research on the best plastic surgeons in the Montreal area, I chose to consult with Dr McGill for a breast lift and tummy tuck. Not only is she incredibly beautiful and smart, but she is the most down to earth, open and generous doctor I have ever met! She put me at ease right away and was extremely detailed about the procedures. I decided to add arm lipo as well. The whole staff, Anna and the medical nurses were just incredible. I felt they all had my best interest at heart and were just as excited as I was to help me get through the recovery period and start seeing my results. There is no doubt in my mind that Dr McGill, a "chick" surgeon, as she put it, has an exceptional vision of a woman's body and what we really want. And she certainly delivered! I am amazed at my results one month post op and they will only get better in the next few months. Dr McGill helped me gain my confidence back, and that is priceless!
Initially I had doubts about what kind of experience I would have in Dr. Mcgill's clinic. I was expecting to hear that I would have to wait, to lose weight, to be a little older, to get the breast reduction I desperately wanted and needed, like others had told me. Dr. Mcgill reassured me that she could perform the surgery despite me being overweight. She understood and was sympathetic to my plight: it's difficult to lose weight when too-large breasts are weighing you down. I walked into the clinic, which was clean and bright and overall a pleasant place, and immediately felt comfortable despite my nervousness. During my first appointment, the consultation, Dr. Mcgill asked questions about my health and my family history, and took the time to explain exactly what would be done during the bilateral breast reduction I was asking about. She showed me examples of breast reductions she has done, answered all our questions, and then some. I left feeling utterly reassured, and when I returned for the surgery itself two months later I was hardly nervous at all. The staff was consistently friendly and open throughout my experience here, spoke to me by name and didn't rush me when I wasn't comfortable. Right before surgery, they made sure I was comfortable, double-checked with me to make sure there would be no issues, and they worked very well and willingly around my allergy/skin reactions to latex. In the operating room, right before I was given the anesthetic, Dr. Mcgill thoroughly double-checked measurements and talked to me in a friendly voice so that I would be comfortable. By the time I was laid down on the operation table, with a heater to keep me warm and things on my legs to keep my blood flowing well, I had been given anesthetic. I woke up two hours later in a bed, comfortably drowsing. When my time in the recovery room post-op was complicated because my vertigo did not mix well with the anesthetic, I was allowed to sit in the cool post-op recovery room for more than five additional hours while I waited for the vertigo to fade enough for me to stand. There was a newer staff member who was still learning the ropes, but still knew what she was doing. She was also very kind and helpful. By the time I left I was feeling much better. While I was in the recovery room the staff regularly checked to make sure I was doing okay, that I had water and crackers to eat. They played liaison with my mother and friend in the clinic, and reassured them while I recovered. During my first post-op follow up, Dr. Mcgill inspected me and told me what I could expect for the next few weeks and months as my body continued to heal. She suggested several ways I could help the scars heal better and reassured me that I was doing well. A "textbook" recovery, so to speak. Anna was very patient, also, with my very worried mother who called several times to make sure the things I was experiencing were normal. Over email and phone, and in her office, Anna was friendly and helpful. The entire staff here is friendly and knows what they are doing.
Hello,That is a very good question. The answer will depend on the weight and shape of the implant, the quality of the patient's skin and thickness of her breast tissue. Naturally a very large, heavy implant will stretch the skin over time and cause a sagging breast. In my practice, I routinely use tear drop implants under the breast or in the dual plane to correct a ptotic or droopy breast. The presence of a breast implant will induce treatment of breast tissue visualized on a mammogram. An MRI is an alternate screening too that will visualize all of the breast tissue in the presence of the implant.Thank you and all the best!Sandra McGill MD FRCS (C)
Hello,Based on your pictures, which show a reasonable nipple position and nice skin tone, an implant alone will provide you with a lift by virtue of the fact that your skin envelope will be more full. I would advise against getting a lift simultaneously, and would take the wait and see approach. Over time the weight of the implants may cause the skin to stretch making a lift necessary.
Dear Sermai84,I would advise you to complete your weight loss before you contemplate surgery. At that point, you and your surgeon will be able to establish the best surgical plan for you.All the best,Dr. Sandra McGill
4 days post surgery is still very early to evaluate the success of the intervention. There is a certain amount of swelling that needs to happen before you can appreciate the final result.
The incisions look fine. The doctor closed your wounds with sutures that are buried and will dissolve over time. They are still working to hold the wound together. Better to take the steri strips off early to allow wound to breath.
