Can liposuction work for diabetic patients?
Hi, thanks for your great question. Diabetics can get liposuction without much problem. In fact, the reduction of fat in your body may help with your sugar control. We do like patients to have a controlled HBa1c prior to surgery. Thanks again for your question! Shim Ching, MSc, MD, FRCSC, FACS READ MORE
I am planning to get a nose job done. What are the chances of success?
If your surgery is performed by an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or ENT Surgeon, your chances of success are quite good. Go on 3 consults, ask for computer imaging, and ask questions to feel comfortable with the surgeon and practice you choose. Good luck! Shim Ching, MSc, MD, FRCSC, FACS READ MORE
I am 19 years old and experiencing hair fall. What could be the reason?
Hair loss can stem from a variety of different factors. Testosterone is related to hair loss but it would be unusual for someone as young as you to experience what we call male pattern baldness which we believe is caused by a variety of different factors including environmental and genetic causes. Without a thorough examination and possibly blood analysis it is difficult to tell if you have an identifiable reason for your hair loss. In most cases of hair loss we cannot pinpoint a distinct condition that could be causing loss of hair. You should see a physician, usually a dermatologist for further evaluation.

Lots of stretch marks. What can I do?
Thanks for your question! Stretch marks come in different kinds. The ones that are red and dark respond to laser treatment. It would be best to evaluate you in person to determine the best treatment for you. Please let us know if you'd like a consult with one of our aestheticians. Thank you.

What is cool sculpting?
Coolsculpting is a non surgical method for spot fat reduction. The skin and fat is cooled by the device to a temperature close to freezing. This causes some of the fat cells to go away. This really does work and coolsculpting has a long history of safety and effectiveness. Generally the fat does not recur in the same area unless you gain weight. The best candidates for coolsculpting have small areas of excess fat. Multiple treatments are generally required for the best results. READ MORE
Brazilian butt lift- can you make my butt shorter?
Thank you for your question! Yes, most definitely, we can shorten what appears to be a long buttock. This will be done by a combination of liposuction and fat grafting. Grafting fat into the buttock will improve the shape and shorten the apparent length of the buttocks. Aloha, Shim Ching, MSc, MD, FRCSC, FACS READ MORE
