Procedures I'm known for

At The Plastic Surgery Clinic, we perform approximately 200 mommy makeovers each year. Dr. Lista is not only highly skilled and experienced in all the individual procedures associated with this type of surgery, but also sensitive to the feelings and needs of the women who seek their advice. Women who wish to explore the option of using plastic surgery to recover (or build upon) their former silhouette will find that Dr. Lista, Dr. Ahmad and Dr. Austin are understanding and compassionate doctors whose only goal is to inform and assist women interested in these procedures.

Perhaps you want a fuller, more shapely look to enhance your natural beauty. Or maybe you want to restore your youthful perkiness after breastfeeding or major weight fluctuations. Whatever your motivation, plastic surgeons Dr. Lista will listen to you and help you choose the best breast augmentation surgery for you.

At the Plastic Surgery Clinic we perform approximately 200 to 300 tummy tuck procedures per year. This makes Dr. Lista one of the most experienced tummy tuck surgeons in Ontario, Canada. The main philosophy of Dr. Lista, Dr. Ahmad and Dr. Austin is to achieve a soft and natural look for all our tummy tuck patients, and to perform the operation as safely as possible. In order to meet that objective, plastic surgery providers Dr. Lista, Dr. Ahmad and Dr. Austin are pleased to be pioneering a safer and more comfortable form of abdominoplasty known as a progressive tension abdominoplasty – a technique that eliminates the need for drains. Our no-drain tummy tuck surgeons use this advanced technique to maximize comfort and safety for patients during and after the abdominoplasty procedure.

I have a passion for helping people make the most of who they are. In 1987 I founded The Plastic Surgery Clinic, which is now one of the largest and busiest clinics in Canada. My surgical philosophy focuses on delivering the most natural-looking results with the highest safety standards possible.
