How We Chose
1. Dr. Mark Samaha
Location: 1240 Beaumont Ave Suite 200
Contact: +1 514-613-3004
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Dr. Samaha has been perfecting his surgical techniques since 2002, and his commitment to achieving natural-looking results is evident. Moreover, he has extensive experience, including over 2,400 rhinoplasties and 600 rejuvenation surgeries.
This extensive background is why he’s a leading facial plastic surgeon in Quebec.
We were particularly impressed by his “Maximum Result, Minimum Recovery™” method, which prioritises both beautiful outcomes and minimal downtime.
During our visit, we learned that he favours local anaesthesia over general anaesthesia, which can be a significant comfort for many patients.
This focus on patient comfort aligns with the feedback we received from some of his patients, who shared their positive experiences. They emphasised how relaxed and at ease they felt throughout the process.
Dr. Samaha offers a comprehensive range of procedures, including rhinoplasty, facelifts, and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). He also provides non-surgical options like Botox and dermal fillers for those who don’t want to go under the knife.
While we did encounter some reports of service that were perceived as pushy or arrogant, the overall feedback was positive.
Ensures a smooth and easy recovery with minimal bruising and pain
“I went to see Dr. Samaha for a rhinoplasty and it was the best decision of my life. He and all of his staff are extremely friendly and professional, and made me feel super comfortable, even on the day of the surgery. Dr. Samaha really listened to me and gave me exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to remove the hump I had on the bridge of my nose and my results are very subtle and beautiful. The recovery was surprisingly easy. Even though I was told ahead of time I was still surprised by how painless it was and how little bruising I had. It has only been a week since I had my surgery and it is already impossible to tell that I had one unless you know. I highly recommend Dr. Samaha because he is very experiences, listens to what you want, and makes you feel at ease.”

Sculpts results to perfection while improving functionality, such as breathing
“My experience with the clinic was flawless from the first contact to the post-op meeting (removing my bandage after my rhinoplasty) – the whole process lasted ~2 months. I can tell it is run by professionals that have been doing this for a long time. Dr Samaha and his staff provided excellent care from the initial consultation to the post-op follow-up – he personally called me on a weekend to ensure my recovery was going well. This is my first surgery ever and I am delighted with the results. The pain was minimal and the recovery process went smoothly, due to his skills and technique. I can finally breathe properly through my nose and he sculpted it to perfection. It paid off researching a top surgeon/clinic for my rhinoplasty and I recommend him for everyone looking for one.”

2. Dr. Karl Schwarz
Location: 1100 Atwater Ave, Westmount
Contact: +1 514-508-3555
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
We recently checked out Clinique K, and honestly, we get the hype. Dr. Schwarz and his team are clearly at the top of their game in Montreal.
They’ve got this amazing blend of high-tech and personalised care that really impressed us. They offer everything from facelifts and liposuction to non-surgical options like laser treatments and—get this—vampire facials.
What blew us away, however, was their 3D imaging. Imagine seeing your potential rhinoplasty results before going under the knife. It takes so much stress out of the decision.
We also heard amazing things about their double chin treatments and cheekbone enhancements. Apparently, Dr. Schwarz has this meticulous touch that gives super natural-looking results.
Booking a consultation was easy with their online system, which is perfect for busy folks like us. However, fair warning: we did hear some grumbling about long wait times – up to one and a half months.
Treats patients with the care and respect of a family member
“I went to visit Dr. K in his clinic for consultation about changing a simple thing in my face. He was honest and kindly advised me not to do anything to my face because I have natural beauty, and he really does not just want to benefit from money. He advises you as if you were a member of his family. He is truly a classy and respectful person, and wonderful service from the staff. Thank you doctor, I left him with more confidence in my beauty.”

Offers knowledgeable staff who go above and beyond for client happiness
“I recently got lip fillers at Clinique K, and I have to say, the service was absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and comfortable. As for the lip fillers themselves, I couldn’t be happier with the results! The procedure was quick and painless, and the results were exactly what I was hoping for. I highly recommend to anyone who is considering lip fillers. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and caring, and they truly go above and beyond to ensure that their clients are happy.”

3. Dr. Gaby Doumit
Location: 1506 Dr Penfield Ave
Contact: +1 514-932-8200
Operating hours:
- Monday to Thursday – 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Saturday – 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM
Dr. Doumit stands out for his expertise across a wide range of procedures. His skills span from facelifts and rhinoplasty to more complex surgeries like craniofacial work and post-weight-loss body contouring.
What we really liked is how he incorporates cutting-edge techniques, including minimally invasive endoscopic surgeries. These methods not only speed up recovery but also deliver more natural-looking results. His patients rave about this aspect of his care.
With over 12,000 procedures under his belt, including intricate surgeries like face transplants, it’s clear Dr. Doumit knows his stuff in both cosmetic and reconstructive work.
We also appreciated the convenience of online bookings and virtual consultations, which is a big bonus for out-of-town patients.
That said, we did hear a few complaints about the front desk staff not being as welcoming as you’d hoped.
Offers an incredibly welcoming and clean office environment
“Dr.Doumit is by far the best and most human doctor I have ever seen. His staff is super nice and helpful. Clean and welcoming is his office. I am not able to think of anything negative, my consultation, my surgery and follow ups were super. They take the time to make sure that all is good and I am happy /comfortable. I loved my experience and looking forward to future experiences. I must add that with Dr. Doumit , it felt that he is a member of my family. He wants my good and is not there to sell me a procedure.”

Demonstrates exceptional knowledge and artistry in plastic surgery
“Dr. Gaby Doumit is the best of the best in Montreal ! Look no further… I am almost 2 months post-op rhinoplasty and I am very happy with the results so far. He listened to exactly what I wanted and he took great care of me. He was very knowledgeable and he made sure that the results would suit my other facial features. I scheduled a follow up appointment with him after our first consultation because I was feeling nervous for the surgery and he was so patient and reassuring with me. I can’t wait to see the results 6-12 months from now! Everyday gets better as the swelling goes down. I can’t express how happy I am to have chosen Dr. Doumit for my surgery – he is a true artist in plastic surgery. His team is awesome too! Thank you!!!”

4. Dr. Alex Viezel-Mathieu
Location: 1558 Dr Penfield Ave 2nd floor
Contact: +1 514-458-3363
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Dr. Alex Viezel-Mathieu is a name we couldn’t ignore. His 15 years of experience and over 12,000 surgeries under his belt kind of speaks for itself.
From body contouring to migraine relief surgery and paediatric craniofacial treatments, he really covers all the bases.
What really caught our attention was his background. He’s Harvard-trained and previously worked at the Cleveland Clinic, where he worked on some of the most complex procedures like full-face transplants.
It’s clear he’s a master in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
What sets him apart is his focus on minimally invasive techniques, like endoscopic facial procedures. These approaches help reduce downtime while still delivering amazing, natural results.
On top of that, booking a consultation online is a breeze, which we found super convenient.
Just a heads up, though – because he’s in such high demand, you might have to wait a little longer for an appointment.
Accompanies patients every step of the way with professionalism
“My experience with Dr Veziel-Mathieu came nothing short of amazing. From the moment you walk into his office for your consultation to the minute you wake up in the recovery room, you feel valued, appreciated and most importantly safe. This was my first time going under anaesthesia and I was extremely nervous. Dr Veziel and his team accompanied me every step of the way with much compassion and care. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Dr Veziel-Mathieu.”

Reassuring, compassionate, and professional
“Dr. Viezel-Mathieu is amazing, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the beginning of the process all the way to now, his team was wonderful, I felt comfortable and reassured, and I felt understood and cared about. My results are wonderful, I have never been so happy and confident. Thank you thank you thank you Dr. Viezel-Mathieu and your team!”

5. Dr. David Mok Plastic Surgeon Montreal
Location: 4150 Saint-Catherine St W Suite 402
Contact: +1 514-645-0204
Operating hours:
- Monday to Tuesday & Thursday – 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Wednesday & Friday – 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Dr. David Mok’s clinic gave us all the boutique vibes we hoped for, combining expert care and a warm, personal touch.
What really stood out to us is how tailored his approach is. You can tell he’s all about making sure his patients feel heard and supported.
Whether you’re interested in a Mommy Makeover or something more subtle, he’s got it covered.
We loved that Dr. Mok uses cutting-edge tools like BodyTite and Morpheus8, which help achieve those precise, natural-looking results. His signature internal bra stitch for breast surgeries is definitely a game changer, designed to keep everything in place for the long haul.
Plus, if you’re more into non-surgical options, his Botox and injectables make his clinic a one-stop-shop.
And honestly, it’s hard to beat a free initial consultation, right? It’s easy to book online, too, so it really doesn’t get more convenient than that.
However, we did notice a bit of a hiccup. There were reports of patients being billed without authorisation, which is definitely a concern to keep in mind.
Creates a trustworthy and comforting environment
“Dr.Mok is an amazing doctor not just his work but his personality. As soon as i had my consultation with him i knew this was going to be my doctor. Such a calm and patient person, so honest and straight forward. So happy with my results beyond what i expected, and def looking forward to fixing other things in the future. The team is amazing so calm and caring the whole staff is really amazing and it shows they love what they do. Thank you, your in the best hands with this doctor.”

Helps patients navigate options with clear advice on implants
“The staff was super friendly. I was dropping by this clinic to do my lip fillers and I had a chance to meet the Head Nurse. She was very understanding and full of knowledge. I am thinking of getting a BA and she inform me that Dr Mok does free consultation. I been shopping around and doing my research on different type of implants. Because I wanted High Profile. Im still debating on the cc.”
