The Plastic Surgery Clinic

What The Plastic Surgery Clinic does

The Plastic Surgery Clinic is a privately held Canadian cosmetic surgery practice founded in 1988 by Dr. Frank Lista and headquartered in Toronto with a second location in Mississauga, Ontario. The clinic employs 93 people and operates as a direct-to-consumer medical service provider delivering surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures across three categories: face, breast, and body. Surgical offerings include facelifts, rhinoplasty, brow lifts, breast augmentation (including Dr. Lista's pioneered lollipop scar technique and subfascial implant placement), breast reduction and lift, tummy tucks, liposuction, body contouring, and Brazilian butt lifts. Non-surgical offerings span injectables, dermal fillers, HALO/MOXI/BBL laser treatments, Sofwave, FaceTite/AccuTite, Morpheus8, CoolSculpting, BodyTite, sclerotherapy, and stem cell rejuvenation.

All surgeries are performed as day procedures at a purpose-built private facility under general anesthetic, with next-day nurse follow-up and a pain relief pump included in post-operative care. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time surgical and non-surgical procedures, supplemented by monthly payment plan financing and the recurring-style Glow Club membership that promotes non-surgical services. Go-to-market is consultation-led: free in-person consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons serve as the primary conversion mechanism, supported by a 100+ article blog, active social channels, before/after galleries, earned media features, and newsletter capture. The patient base of 12,956+ lifetime patients and 1,200+ annual surgeries is sourced almost entirely from the Greater Toronto Area, with no disclosed institutional customers, funding, or partnership-based distribution.
