Choosing a Qualified Plastic Surgeon Matters
Cosmetic procedures are rising in popularity in Canada, making it more important than ever for patients to understand the qualifications of their surgeon. In Canada, a true plastic surgeon:
Is certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC)
Has completed accredited residency training in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Is eligible for membership with the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons (CSPS) and the Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (CSAPS)
Dr. X meets these standards, ensuring the highest level of training, ethics, and patient safety.
Reconstructive vs. Cosmetic Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery in Canada is divided into two categories:
Reconstructive Plastic Surgery
Focused on restoring function or correcting abnormalities caused by trauma, medical conditions, or congenital differences.
These procedures may be partially covered by provincial health plans or private insurance if medically necessary and associated with an approved coding number.
Cosmetic Plastic Surgery
Performed to enhance appearance and is not covered by provincial health plans or private insurance.
During your consultation, Dr. X will assess whether your concerns fall under reconstructive or cosmetic care and provide guidance on medical eligibility when applicable.
Procedures That May Qualify for Partial Insurance Coverage
Coverage depends on your province, medical documentation, and private insurance plan. In some cases, the following procedures may be partially covered when medically necessary:
Rhinoplasty for breathing difficulties or post-traumatic deformities
Septoplasty / Airway Surgery for obstruction, deviated septum, or enlarged turbinates
Genioplasty for functional or structural jaw concerns
Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery for severe bite or facial imbalance
Reconstructive Facelift related to facial palsy or trauma
Blepharoplasty where excess upper eyelid skin obstructs peripheral vision
Otoplasty for prominent ears (patients under 18)
Eligibility varies widely, and Dr. X will provide guidance based on current Canadian criteria.
