Plastic surgery transforms lives every day. From helping children born with cleft lip, to rebuilding after cancer or trauma, to restoring confidence through aesthetic care — these procedures go far beyond the operating room. At the University of Toronto’s Division of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, we are dedicated to advancing this life-changing work so that patients in Canada and around the world can heal, recover, and thrive.
The Division brings together more than 60 surgeons, three senior scientists, and nearly 50 residents and fellows working across 10 teaching hospitals in the Greater Toronto Area. Together, we form the largest academic division of plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery in North America, recognized nationally and internationally for leadership in research, education, and patient care.
With donor support, we can accelerate the pace of discovery, expand educational opportunities, and strengthen access to surgical care — not only in Canada, but also through our global partnerships that train local providers and improve health systems worldwide. Your gift directly fuels innovation, helps educate the next generation of surgeons, and supports patients whose lives are profoundly changed by this work.
