The Plastic Surgery Clinic

What The Plastic Surgery Clinic does

The Plastic Surgery Clinic is a privately held, full-service cosmetic surgery practice founded approximately in 1990 in the Greater Toronto Area, operating from two locations: a consultation office at 67 Scollard Street, Toronto, and a state-of-the-art private surgical facility at 1421 Hurontario Street, Mississauga. The clinic is led by three plastic surgeons—Dr. Frank Lista, Dr. Ahmad, and Dr. Austin—and serves individual consumer patients seeking facial, breast, and body procedures, having cumulatively treated 12,956+ patients and currently performing 1,200+ surgeries per year. The clinic positions itself as a leading Canadian cosmetic surgery practice, with RealSelf Top Doctor designations, 100+ surgeon-authored medical articles, and recurring earned media placements in CTV, Toronto Star, Breakfast Television, Fashion, and Chatelaine.

The service portfolio spans surgical, non-surgical, and minor procedure categories. Surgical offerings include facelifts (notably a proprietary short-scar facelift technique developed by Dr. Lista plus a mini-facelift variant), endoscopic brow lifts using a 4mm scope and sub-inch scalp incisions, rhinoplasty (where Dr. Ahmad is a Rhinoplasty Society member and co-editor of the Dallas Rhinoplasty textbook), eyelid lifts, buccal fat removal, ear pinning, surgical lip lifts, breast augmentation/lift/reduction/revision, and body contouring (tummy tuck, liposuction, Brazilian butt lift, mommy makeover). Non-surgical offerings include neuromodulators, dermal fillers, Sculptra, PRP/PRF, laser treatments (HALO, MOXI, BBL, IPL), energy-based skin tightening (Sofwave, Morpheus8, FaceTite/AccuTite), CoolSculpting, peels, microneedling, JetPeel, laser hair removal, and tattoo removal. All surgical procedures are performed on-site at the Mississauga facility as day surgeries under general anesthetic with board-certified anesthesiologists.

The business operates on a combination of one-time surgical fees (quote-based, no public pricing) and recurring non-surgical maintenance revenue. Free consultations convert patients via phone (1.833.460.0799), email, and online forms. The Glow Club membership program introduces a recurring monthly payment model for non-surgical treatments, and an MD Beauty Clinic sub-brand provides a parallel channel for non-surgical beauty services. The practice is physician-owned with no disclosed external investors, private equity, venture capital, or M&A activity.
