WITH DR. JULIE KHANNA
JULIE KHANNA, MD, FRCSC is the director of plastic surgery at ICLS Dermatology & Plastic Surgery based in Oakville, Ontario. Here she shares her top tips for plastic surgery.
Real Style: What is the number one piece of advice you would offer people considering surgery?
Julie Khanna: Choosing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon is a MUST! Do your research, meet your surgeon and build a connection with them and their team for the best outcome.
RS: What kind of facial plastic surgery procedures will help women significantly improve their appearance?
JK: The gold standard is always going to be a face lift, but there are so many options that we don’t have to start there. Botox and fillers can refresh your appearance, while local anaesthetic procedures such as an eyelid lift, or FaceTite radio frequency for tissue tightening, can rejuvenate the eyes and jawline without a major procedure.

RS: Which is your most popular treatment?

RS: Is there something new in the industry that you are excited about?
JK: There are so many things, but the ones I am MOST excited are Emsculpt and High Definition Liposuction.
Emsculpt has the ability to burn fat and build muscle with one treatment being comparable to 20,000 sit ups! Yes please!
Performing high definition liposuction allows me to literally etch or carve out muscular definition on the abdomen, back, arms and legs, while using fat transfer to further enhance your existing muscle tone and physique.
