Facial plastic surgery and non-surgical aesthetic treatments are about more than just changing appearance. At EyeFACE Institute, located in Toronto, we believe they are about restoring harmony, confidence, and functional well-being. Our focus is exclusively on facial and eyelid surgery, injectables, skin care, and laser treatments—so whether you’re exploring Botox injections or considering a more substantial surgical journey, you’ll receive care rooted in deep specialization, safety, and artistry.
What Is Facial Plastic Surgery in Toronto (at EyeFACE)
Facial plastic surgery covers surgical procedures meant to enhance, restore, or reshape facial structures. At EyeFACE Institute, that may include eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lift, facelift, rhinoplasty, lesion removal, and reconstructive work, among others. These surgeries address both cosmetic concerns (aging, facial symmetry, proportion) and functional issues (vision obstruction, breathing problems, eyelid dysfunction).
Our surgeons combine medical training in facial anatomy, reconstructive techniques, and aesthetic principles. This specialized focus in Toronto means we see thousands of facial procedures every year, which helps us refine both results and patient experience.
What Are Botox Injections & Why They’re in High Demand
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA, etc.) is a non-surgical treatment used to smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and to prevent further aging signs. At EyeFACE, Botox injections are frequently used to:
- Soften forehead lines, frown lines (between the brows), crow’s feet around the eyes.
- Improve facial harmony by reducing dynamic wrinkles—those brought on by muscle movement.
- Provide preventative benefits: regular, well-administered Botox can slow the progression of certain dynamic wrinkles.
- In some cases, it’s also used for medical or quasi-medical benefits, such as reducing jaw tension (from grinding, or bruxism) or hyperhidrosis (excess sweating).
Compared to surgery, Botox has far less downtime, is reversible over time (effects diminish), and can be used as a complement to surgical work. Many patients might combine Botox with surgery, or use it in earlier stages of aging, or while postponing surgery.
How EyeFACE Institute Combines Facial Plastic Surgery & Botox
At EyeFACE Institute, the philosophy is holistic: surgical and non-surgical treatments are not in competition, but rather tools in a toolkit. We aim to match the treatment to the patient’s goals, anatomy, skin, and budget. Some key principles:
- Customization
Every face is different—skin thickness, musculature, bone structure, lifestyle, age. Whether you want Botox or surgery (or both), the plan is tailored. We will assess facial movements, skin type, existing aging, any functional issue, then design a treatment path.
- Safety & Expert Hands
Botox at EyeFACE is administered by qualified physicians or highly trained medical personnel under the supervision of our facial plastic/oculoplastic surgeons. The same attention to anatomy that we apply in surgery is used in non-surgical treatments. Structure, proportion, and natural expression are preserved. - Proportion & Natural Appearance
Our goal isn’t to “freeze” the face or make you look unnatural. The goal is softening of lines, smoother transitions, improved balance—maintaining expressiveness. With Botox, that means injecting in carefully chosen spots, using doses appropriate to your face. With surgery, it means incisions, grafts, lifts, etc., placed with an artistic understanding of light, shadow and facial dynamics. - Complementarity
Non-surgical treatments like Botox can maintain or enhance surgical results. For example, after a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or facelift, Botox may be used to reduce tension in muscles, enhance longevity, or treat areas not addressed surgically. Conversely, Botox may delay the need for surgery, or provide interim improvement.
What to Expect: Botox Injection Experience at EyeFACE
Here’s roughly what a patient considering Botox at EyeFACE can expect.
Consultation
- Review your medical history: prior treatments, skin condition, neuromuscular issues, medications (some interact with Botox).
- Examine your face at rest and in motion: how your brows move, how your eyes squint, how you smile or frown; identify where wrinkles occur with facial expressions.
- Discuss goals: Do you want subtle smoothing? Prevent new lines? Improve asymmetry? Understand what Botox can and cannot do.
- Options and costs: how many units might be needed; areas you want treated; when to expect results; maintenance schedule.
The Treatment Session
- Cleansing of the skin; marking of treatment points.
- Topical anesthetic or ice may be used for comfort (Botox injections are relatively quick and tolerable).
- Injection of small doses at the targeted muscles.
Most Botox sessions take 10-30 minutes depending on how many areas are treated.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Minimal downtime: perhaps slight redness, bruising, small swelling at injection sites, sometimes slight discomfort, but usually mild.
- Avoid rubbing/touching the area aggressively for a short period.
- Avoid strenuous physical activity, alcohol, or exposure to heat (e.g. saunas) for 24-48 hours if possible.
When You’ll See Results
- Some effect often seen within 3-5 days; full effect by 1-2 weeks.
- Effects last typically 3-4 months (sometimes more or less depending on individual muscle strength, dose, skin, metabolism).
Maintenance
- To keep results, repeat treatments are needed.
- With time, some muscles respond more weakly and lines may be less severe than if untreated.
Who Is a Good Candidate (and Who Might Be Better Served by Surgery)
Good candidates for Botox include those who:
- Are seeing mild to moderate dynamic wrinkles (that appear only with movement) rather than deep static creases.
- Want non-surgical, lower-risk treatments with quicker recovery.
- Are not yet ready for surgery or want to complement surgical results.
- Have realistic expectations: knowing Botox smooths, doesn’t reshape bones or repair large sagging.
Situations where surgery might be more appropriate:
- Deep static wrinkles, heavy excess skin (eyelids), sagging neck or jowls, or structural issues (e.g. droopy brows that don’t respond to Botox).
- If you want permanent changes (though aging continues).
- If you have functional issues—e.g., eyelid hooding obscuring vision—that Botox cannot fully address.
Risks and Considerations
Even though Botox is non-surgical, there are important risks, possible side effects, and trade-offs. EyeFACE Institute ensures you’re well informed:
- Bruising, swelling at injection site.
- Possible asymmetry if the dose or placement is uneven.
- Temporary weakness of muscles beyond target (e.g. eyelid droop) if diffusion occurs.
- Allergic reactions (rare).
- Results may vary; some people metabolize Botox faster, so duration of effect may be shorter.
EyeFACE surgeons ensure the smallest effective dose, conservative first interventions (you can always add more later), and precise anatomy to reduce risk.

Combining Botox with Other Treatments
Many patients achieve the best results by combining Botox with other treatments. EyeFACE offers a range of complementary options:
- Dermal fillers to restore lost volume (cheeks, lips, cheeks under eyes).
- Laser / signature laser protocols for skin resurfacing, refining texture, evening skin tone.
- Surgical options when aging has progressed: eyelid surgery, facelifts, brow lifts, etc.
A combined approach can give more youthful, long-lasting results than any single modality alone.
