About Dr. Kris Conrad

Dr. Kris Conrad is a renowned cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgeon based in Toronto, with over three decades of experience in advanced facial aesthetics. Internationally trained and certified, Dr. Conrad has built a reputation for precision, artistry, and a deep understanding of facial anatomy. His individualized approach ensures every patient receives care tailored to their facial structure and personal goals.

What is Facial Contouring?

Facial contouring refers to a range of surgical procedures designed to reshape and enhance the natural contours of the face. Whether you’re looking to soften certain features or add more definition, facial contouring can bring balance, symmetry, and a more youthful appearance.

Common facial contouring procedures include:

Chin Augmentation

The chin plays a crucial role in defining the overall harmony of the face. A well-proportioned chin can create a more balanced profile, enhance the jawline, and even improve the appearance of the neck. Whether you feel your chin is recessed, asymmetrical, or lacking definition, chin augmentation can offer a lasting and transformative solution.

What is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or enhance the size and projection of the chin. Dr. Kris Conrad achieves this by using either a custom-fitted implant or a technique called sliding genioplasty, depending on your anatomy and goals. Both approaches aim to create natural, symmetrical results that are in harmony with the rest of your facial features.

Benefits of Chin Augmentation with Dr. Conrad:

Improves Facial Balance: A well-proportioned chin can create harmony between the nose, lips, and jawline, especially in profile views.
Enhances Jawline Definition: A more prominent chin naturally sharpens and strengthens the jawline, contributing to a youthful and confident look.
Corrects Recessed Chins: For patients with a weak or underdeveloped chin, augmentation can significantly improve overall facial structure.
Minimally Visible Scars: Dr. Conrad often places incisions discreetly inside the mouth or under the chin, minimizing visible scarring.
Customized Approach: Every chin augmentation procedure is tailored based on 3D facial analysis, allowing for precise adjustments that suit your unique bone structure.

What to Expect

During your consultation, Dr. Conrad will assess your facial anatomy, review your medical history, and discuss your aesthetic goals in detail. Using advanced imaging and facial mapping, he will develop a personalized surgical plan that aligns with your vision.

The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your comfort and the surgical plan. Recovery is relatively straightforward, with most patients resuming normal activities within 7–10 days.

Cheek Enhancement

High, well-defined cheekbones are often associated with youth, beauty, and facial harmony. As we age, or in cases of naturally flat or hollow cheeks, volume loss in the mid-face can lead to a tired or sunken appearance. Cheek enhancement with Dr. Kris Conrad is designed to restore youthful fullness, improve facial symmetry, and create elegant contours tailored to your unique anatomy.

What is Cheek Enhancement?

Cheek enhancement refers to both surgical and non-surgical procedures aimed at augmenting the cheeks to achieve a balanced and rejuvenated appearance. Depending on your goals, Dr. Conrad may recommend:

Cheek Implants – Surgically placed implants that provide permanent volume and contour to the mid-face.
Fat Grafting – A natural approach using your own fat to restore volume, ideal for a subtle, long-lasting result.
Dermal Fillers – Non-surgical enhancement using hyaluronic acid-based injectables to lift, contour, and add volume with minimal downtime.

Each method offers unique advantages, and Dr. Conrad will guide you toward the option that best fits your facial structure, lifestyle, and desired outcome.

Benefits of Cheek Enhancement with Dr. Conrad:

Restores Youthful Fullness: Replenish age-related volume loss in the mid-face for a refreshed, vibrant appearance.
Defines Facial Contours: Enhance cheekbone structure and refine the transition from the lower eyelid to the upper cheek.
Improves Facial Symmetry: Correct uneven or flat cheek areas for better facial balance.
Custom-Tailored Approach: Treatment is personalized using advanced facial analysis to achieve natural, proportionate results.
Boosts Overall Aesthetic: Enhancing the cheeks can also subtly lift the lower face and reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds (smile lines).

What to Expect

During your consultation, Dr. Conrad will conduct a comprehensive assessment, taking into account your facial proportions, skin tone, and aesthetic preferences. Using digital imaging, he can simulate potential results and work with you to design a treatment plan that complements your natural features.

For surgical options like implants or fat transfer, the procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia with a short recovery period. Non-surgical filler treatments are completed in-office with immediate results and minimal downtime.

Jaw Contouring

A well-defined jawline conveys strength, youth, and facial harmony. Over time, the jawline can lose its sharpness due to aging, genetics, or weight fluctuations—leading to the appearance of jowls, loose skin, or a less distinct lower face. With advanced jawline contouring techniques, Dr. Kris Conrad helps patients achieve a more sculpted, refined, and balanced look tailored to their individual goals.

What is Jawline Contouring?

Jawline contouring includes a variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to enhance the structure of the jaw, reduce sagging, and improve the overall balance of the lower face. Dr. Conrad customizes each treatment plan based on your anatomy, aesthetic concerns, and long-term goals.

Common techniques may include:

Jawline Implants – Strategically placed implants to enhance the definition and width of the jaw.
Liposculpture/Submental Liposuction – Removes excess fat under the chin and along the jawline to create a cleaner profile.
Neck Lift or Lower Facelift – Addresses skin laxity and deeper tissue sagging for more dramatic rejuvenation.
Non-Surgical Options – Includes dermal fillers, radiofrequency tightening, and injectable treatments like Botox® for subtle contouring without downtime.

Benefits of Jawline Contouring with Dr. Conrad:

Defines Jaw Structure: Achieve a sharp, elegant contour that frames the lower face.
Reduces Jowls: Smooth the jawline by removing or tightening sagging skin and tissue.
Improves Chin-to-Neck Angle: Enhances the transition between the chin and neck for a more youthful, sculpted profile.
Balances Facial Proportions: A well-contoured jawline can harmonize the appearance of the cheeks, chin, and neck.
Personalized Treatment Plan: Dr. Conrad’s extensive experience in facial anatomy ensures a custom-tailored approach for both men and women.

What to Expect

During your consultation, Dr. Conrad will perform a detailed assessment of your jaw structure, skin quality, and aesthetic objectives. Using advanced imaging and facial analysis, he will outline a treatment plan designed specifically for your facial anatomy.

Surgical procedures such as implants or neck lifts are typically performed under local or general anesthesia, with a recovery time ranging from 7 to 14 days depending on the extent of treatment. Non-surgical treatments offer quicker recovery, often with visible results immediately or within a few days.

Buccal Fat Removal

A soft, full face can be a sign of youth—but for some individuals, excessive fullness in the lower cheeks can create a round or “baby-faced” appearance that obscures natural facial contours. Buccal fat removal is a specialized procedure that targets and reduces excess fat in the mid-to-lower cheek area, helping to reveal a more sculpted, defined facial structure.

What is Buccal Fat Removal?

Buccal fat removal involves the precise extraction of the buccal fat pads, which are naturally occurring pockets of fat located deep within the lower cheeks. While these pads vary in size between individuals, an overly prominent buccal fat pad can soften facial definition—particularly along the cheekbones and jawline.

Dr. Kris Conrad performs this procedure with exceptional attention to detail, ensuring the results appear natural, balanced, and tailored to each patient’s facial anatomy.

Benefits of Buccal Fat Removal with Dr. Conrad:

Slims the Mid-Face: Reduces excess fullness in the lower cheeks, creating a more tapered and refined appearance.
Enhances Cheekbone Definition: Helps accentuate the upper cheekbones for a more sculpted, angular facial look.
Improves Facial Contour: Balances facial proportions by drawing attention to the natural bone structure.
Permanent Results: Once removed, buccal fat pads do not typically regenerate, providing long-lasting contour enhancement.
Discreet and Minimally Invasive: Incisions are made inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars.

What to Expect

During your consultation, Dr. Conrad will evaluate your facial structure, fat distribution, and overall aesthetic goals to determine if buccal fat removal is the right option. It’s important to select candidates carefully—those with naturally fuller cheeks and good skin elasticity tend to benefit most from this procedure.

The surgery is performed under local anesthesia or light sedation and typically takes less than an hour. Most patients experience mild swelling and tightness in the cheeks for a few days, with visible results emerging as the swelling subsides over the following weeks.

Dr. Conrad’s deep expertise in facial anatomy ensures a balanced and artful approach—avoiding the hollow or gaunt look that can result from overly aggressive fat removal.
