What is a plastic surgeon?

The word plastic comes from the Greek word ‘plastikos’, which means to mould or give form. Plastic surgery enables us to mould or re-form the human body. A Canadian plastic surgeon is a well-trained, qualified specialist who has passed the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons examinations and is certified to practice Plastic Surgery.

How do I choose my plastic surgeon?

There is no foolproof way to choose a plastic surgeon or to guarantee your results. Focus on choosing a plastic surgeon that is fully qualified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons as a Plastic Surgeon. Comfort is key. Make sure you feel comfortable with the surgeon and that he/she provides you with information about expected outcomes, potential risks or complications and how these may be handled. View the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons webpage for more tips on this topic.

Where are procedures performed?

Consultations and non-surgical procedures at Oakville Plastic Surgery & Medspa are performed in our office. Surgery is performed at the Oakville Hospital or the Georgetown Hospital.

How do I prepare for surgery?

Dr. de Kleer and her staff will discuss pre-operative preparation in detail at your consultation. Smoking cessation for six weeks prior to surgery is paramount to optimize healing and scar formation.

Avoid homeopathic remedies, vitamin E, anti-inflammatory medications and garlic for one month prior to surgery.

My experience at Oakville Plastic Surgery & Medspa has been phenomenal.

I had three procedures done at the same time by Dr. de Kleer. I had a tummy tuck and liposuction to correct the skin apron left from 110 pound weight gain and loss from prednisone therapy for a previous autoimmune condition. Dr. de Kleer also fixed my nipples from previously being pierced.

My consultation with Dr. de Kleer was very constructive. I was incredibly and noticeably nervous but that passed quickly as we continued to discuss the procedure. She made me feel very comfortable and spoke to me in a way I could understand. We discussed my wants and expectations. I wanted my body to look like I wasn't previously sick. I wanted that part of my life behind me. She very clearly laid out the procedure in steps and explained how she could fix about 90% but some stretch marks would still be there, just substantially shorter. I asked so many questions throughout this entire experience, so many almost comical now in hindsight, each one answered and explained for my understanding. I laugh thinking about what I asked now but I was never made to feel my questions were silly. (Some definitely were.)

After meeting with Dr. de Kleer I met Karen. Karen is an OR nurse. Karen is incredible. She explained to me what to do before the operation a couple months out, a couple weeks out, and day of surgery, twice. Once the day I met her and then a couple weeks before to ensure I was still on track. I can't stress how well my aftercare has been and it has been because of Karen's expertise and experience.

On the day of the procedure I was not as nervous as I thought I would be. Again, Dr. de Kleer has a way of making her patients feel comfortable and calm. And very excited. I thanked everyone and fell asleep.

My recovery has been a breeze. My one caveate was that I would not be taking any narcotics. Dr. de Kleer and Karen then divided a plan without narcotics. No problem at all. I took 2 extra strength Tylenol rapid release every six hours for 4 days. I was back and forth to OPS&M after two days, then a week then a month and so on. I knew I could get any assistance needed with a phone call or email.

I have also had the pleasure of being looked after by Kim the office manager. Kim was the first person at OPS&M I met. She explained the way the business side worked. She also didn't laugh at me the first day when she brought me to the examination room and I was so nervous I asked if I should keep my shoes on or off. Keana and Vanessa on the front desk have been fantastic at every interaction. Watching Kim, Keana or Vanessa interact with the patients and customers it is plain to see they enjoying interacting with and helping people.  Every person I have encountered has been so kind and focused on my expectations and recovery.

As for my results--AMAZING. Dr. de Kleer has given me peace when I step out of the shower and see my torso in the mirror. Each stretch mark bottom was re-married to top. But most are gone. My appendix scar gone. My nipples, that entered the room a minute before me, gone. I feel whole again. I see no autoimmune reminders. I'm happy. I'm thankful.
