Plastic Surgeon Dr. Julie Khanna of Profile

As one of Canada's leading cosmetic plastic surgeons, Dr. Khanna looks beyond the surgical procedure to the patient as a whole, from inner self to outer beauty. "Each procedure is unique to each patient. The best results come from first understanding patient needs and desires, and then providing a tailor-made solution that meets the personal expectations of that patient."

Dr. Khanna takes the time to inform her patients of the most modern methods of cosmetic surgery, enabling them to make informed choices. "I'm here to educate my patients about all the options available, and help them decide what's appropriate for their lifestyle and the desired outcome."

While she helps both men and women, Dr. Khanna addresses the special concerns of her female patients. "Many of my patients prefer a surgeon who they believe understands their needs and how they feel about their bodies. We want every patient to be happy with their result and pleased by their experience here at ICLS."

Dr. Khanna was the first surgeon in Canada to reintroduce silicone, and she is also one of the top users in the country. She was also chosen to speak on the expert advisory board in Ottawa for Health Canada regarding the safety of silicone implants. Dr. Khanna has also been at the forefront of introducing and training her colleagues on the threadlift procedure, as well as the newly approved filler Sculptra.

Dr. Khanna began her undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, received her medical degree from the University of Ottawa, and completed her training in plastic surgery at McMaster University. She is certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and a Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. Dr. Khanna is a member of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons, Canadian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, and the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery.

In addition to her private practice at the Institute of Cosmetic & Laser Surgery, she is an attending plastic surgeon at the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.
