HAIR TRANSPLANT
Hair loss is something that afflicts both men and women, causing loss of confidence and self-esteem. SmartGraftⓇ is an FUE form of hair restoration that actually takes hair from the back of the scalp and transplants it to the top, or to whichever area on the head that is experiencing thinning hair.

- what to expect
- CHOOSING A SURGEON
Have you ever noticed that people who have lost almost all of the hair on their head still have a little bit left on the back and sides? This is because those hair follicles are resistant to thinning. The top of the head is where most people first begin to lose hair, and so the more resilient hair follicles are taken from the back of the scale and transplanted to the top. Remarkably, once these follicles are transplanted they remain just as resilient as ever, which means SmartGraftⓇ is a potentially permanent solution to hair loss. Hair can also be taken from the chest, back, and face for better results.
If you are a man or a woman seeking a quick, safe, and permanent solution to hair loss, SmartGraftⓇ could be the procedure that’s right for you. SmartGraftⓇ can also act as scar camouflage for those who have had a previous strip procedure.
Hair that has recently been transplanted grows naturally in several phases.
Three months: you will begin to notice new hairs.
Six months: you will witness noticeable improvement.
12-14 months: full growth will occur.
SmartGraftⓇ is a quick and relatively painless procedure (with the help of local anesthetic) that is beneficial for both men and women.
There are very few activity restrictions after the procedure, with most patients being able to receive SmartGraftⓇ and then immediately return to work that day.

PLATELET RICH PLASMA
Male and female pattern hair loss is a genetic problem that leaves many people feeling frustrated and helpless. Prescription drugs and topical treatments are often expensive and only partially effective while surgical hair restoration can be expensive and does not treat the underlying medical problems. Now, there is an affordable way to regain your hair density without surgery or harmful side effects. PRP involves a simple injection of your platelets into the vascular layer of your scalp.
Platelets contain healing growth factors that stimulate your tissue to regenerate and multiply. With PRP for Hair, your growth factors and stem cells work together to reverse the miniaturization of the hair follicle and jumpstart dormant hair back into the growth stage.
- Benefits
- Increases blood supply to the follicle
- Increases shaft size (thickness)
- Triggers and maintains the growth phase
- Controls hair growth cycle
- Decreases hair loss

SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is an incredible new solution for hair loss. It is the act of placing and properly positioning pigment into the epidermal layer of the skin on the scalp. This process is used to restore hairlines, add density to thinning hair in men and women and camouflage any scars on the scalp. It is a unique technique that replicates hair follicles enhancing your appearance, making you look younger and giving you back the confidence you may have lost due to hair loss.
- Benefits
- Procedure type
- CHOOSING A SURGEON
We truly believe scalp micropigmentation is the best solution for hair loss. No pills, creams, sprays, surgery, scars or time off work. Not to mention, it’s less than half the price of a hair transplant.

2. Alopecia
3. SCARRING
Dr. Esmail is considered one of the top facial plastic surgeons in Canada. When choosing which surgeon will perform your Scalp Pigmentation procedure, make sure you do your research and ask to see images of their past results.

SMART GRAFT
Hair loss affects men and women, both young and old. Now you can replace it quickly and discreetly using your own hair, with the precision of the SmartGraft® procedure, in less time than many other FUE methods.
In the past, hair restoration procedures required major surgery, leaving patients with a large, linear scar across the back of the head. The recovery time was slow and uncomfortable. Newer automated technologies have since been developed, but they are still slow and inefficient.
SmartGraft is a smarter option for both men and women searching for a permanent solution to hair loss.

FAT GRAFTING
A surgical fat transfer to move fat from one part of the body to another. It’s also known as lipomodelling. As we age, loss of fat and muscle volume beneath the skin creates hollows that cast shadows on the face. I t is these shadows that give us an aged and tired appearance. Fat and stem cell grafting provides a natural and permanent solution to restoring that youthful volume and glow throughout the face. Micro injections of fat and stem cells are harvested from other parts of your body such as the abdomen or thighs.
Compared to temporary fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane, fat grafting allows for larger volumes of augmentation and creates permanent results using your body's own natural material. Fat grafting is either performed alone or often as part of a face-lift or lower blepharoplasty.

LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY
As you age, the muscles beneath your skin grow weak, allowing fat to protrude through and cause bags. A lower blepharoplasty, also known as lower eyelid surgery, corrects this protruding fat and removes any loose skin. The goal is to create a smooth contour from your lower lash line down to the mid-face. Dark circles go hand-in-hand with under-eye bags. The fat that has fallen forward can be removed or repositioned right below where the tissue has fallen to reduce dark shadows that are cast on the eye.
Lower blepharoplasty is a relatively quick procedure that’s performed under local or general anesthesia. It uses small incisions that are made in the lower eyelid or just beneath the lower lash line to remove excess skin and reposition the fat and muscle in a way that gives a youthful and balanced look. If you are bothered by bulging fat, not loose skin, we can make an incision inside the lower lid to reposition only the fat.

5 days post op: Sutures are removed
10 days: Most swelling and bruising is gone
3 months: Some swelling can last up to 3 months. We can evaluate the final result around this time
6 months: The incision lines are well hidden but can remain pink for up to 6 months. By this time you will be fully healed, laser can be used to lighten any excess pigmentation at this time.
If you have drooping eyelids or bags under your eyes that keep your face from looking fresh and youthful, eyelid surgery may be right for you.
Blepharoplasty can be performed in conjunction with a facelift or other cosmetic surgeries to enhance the end result, so be sure to talk with your surgeon about the options available.
This is an outpatient treatment done under local anesthesia. Oral sedation can be given if you are nervous.
Most people return to normal activities after 7 - 10 days following blepharoplasty. By two weeks after eyelid surgery the majority of the bruising and swelling will resolve.
Results are generally long lasting, however the longevity of results vary slightly between patients. You may expect the results of the upper eyelids to last about 5 - 7 year, and the results for the lower eye are essentially permanent.
MORE ABOUT LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY
The lower lids may take longer to heal than the upper lids. They can look swollen and bruised for 10 to 14 days after surgery. Internal sutures will dissolve, and external stitches will be taken out within five days. It may take up to six weeks for all the swelling to subside. Your results will continue to improve over the next few months

UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY
Often referred to as an eyelift, an upper blepharoplasty corrects the drooping and puffiness of the upper eyelid that can make you look old, tired or sad, as well as interfere with your vision. The procedure will also address the wrinkles and creases that can begin to appear on the eyelids, leaving you looking more rested and alert.
During surgery, either local anesthesia or general sedation will be used, and a small incision will be made across the crease of the upper lid through which the muscles and tissues will be tightened, fat will be repositioned and any extra skin will be removed. We aim to preserve as much fat as possible and only remove the excess, which helps create a softer look. The incision is strategically placed and practically undetectable once you’ve healed.

ABOUT OUR TOTAL EYES PROCEDURE AT VISAGE
Key fat pads live in the eyebrows. A loss of fullness in the brows coupled with lines and wrinkles between the brows and on the forehead can create the look of a saggy brow and hooding on the upper lids. Filler injections and fat transfers performed in tandem with an eyelift and browlift are the most common ways to rectify the problem.
Although it’s not necessary to always perform both upper and lower eyelid surgery, many say that it is often the best way to refresh your overall appearance.
Performing upper and/or lower blepharoplasty in tandem with a browlift (when a saggy brow line, hooding and loose skin are problems) is an effective way to address all of your aging eye concerns.
It is important to note that neither an upper or lower blepharoplasty will eliminate crow’s-feet or other facial wrinkles

MORE ABOUT TOTAL EYES
Naturally, the arch of the eyebrows should be raised at the centre of the brow line and the tail should taper off slightly downward. As aging takes hold, the position of the brows can descend. It’s not uncommon for extremely droopy brows to affect the upper eyelids, since they push the skin on the upper lid downward, which makes the lids look redundant and heavy. The more the brow falls, the more it accentuates the look of slackskin on the lid. When this is the case, surgery that addresses both the brows and the upper eyelids results in more open-looking eyes and brows that are in a more youthful position.

- RhinoPlasty
RHINOPLASTY
The nose is the one feature that can define a face. When someone looks at you this first thing they should notice about is your eyes, your smile and not your nose. A beautiful nose is the one that no-one ever notices, one that just fits your face and your features. This means that the perfect nose is different for each person. It is a mix between art and science and the ability to achieve certain proportions and angles compared to the rest of your face. My philosophy for rhinoplasty is to create a nose that is perfect for you. Patients often come back months after surgery and surprised that many people never even noticed they had surgery even though they look totally different, and to us that is the ultimate compliment.

The Consult: We start with a consult where Dr. Esmail or his assistant will take detailed medical history and a complete nasal exam often including an endoscopic exam of the nose. We will discuss what you don’t like or want to change about your nose, and any breathing issues.
Photos: We take a set of 3d VECTRA photos as well as high definition 2d photos. Using the latest technology we are able to take precise measurements and analysis of your nose and provide morphing to show you what an expected outcome may look like.

As with any procedure There are risks associated with rhinoplasty. Given the unpredictability of the way the nose heals a change of a few mm can create an undesirable result. Because of this given in the most experienced hands rate of revision rhinoplasty is 10-15%.
Any patient undergoing a rhinoplasty should be mentally prepared to have to require 2nd most often much smaller procedure to correct any irregularities. Other risks include prolonged bleeding, infection, and prolonged stuffiness. Most of these are minor and resolve with time.
Patients generally wear a splint for the first week. There will be bruising and swelling under the eyes and nose that will be there for a few days - a few weeks following surgery. Should avoid strenuous activity for 2-3 weeks.
Post-op: Most patients only need pain killers for the 1st 48 hours. It is not a terribly painful surgery. Get some rest.
Week 1: At the end of this week your splints come off and you get the first glimpse of your nose. The profile will look great but the tip will look fat and the nose will look wide. This will continue to improve over the coming months. If there is bruising the majority of it should have resolved by 10-14 days. Dr. Esmail is unique in that he uses only dissolvable sutures during rhinoplasty. No suture removal is required at this appointment.
The most important thing you could do to insure a good outcome for your rhinoplasty is to choose the right surgeon. Rhinoplasty is widely considered 1 of the most difficult cosmetic procedures to perform well. This is why you want to choose a surgeon that does a lot of rhinoplasty and specializes in the procedure. Dr. Esmail is Winnipeg’s only fellowship trained facial plastic surgeon. This means he focuses only on the face. Rhinoplasty is the most common procedure performed by Dr. Esmail.
MORE ABOUT RHINOPLASTY
A nose shouldn’t just look good it should also Work. Being trained as both an Ear Nose and Throat surgeon and as a Facial plastic surgeon gives Dr Esmail the unique ability to address both form and function. Many Rhinoplasty surgeries are combined with septoplasty to correct a deviated septum, turbinoplasty to fix plugged noses from allergies or rhinitis and even sinus surgery.
Rhinoplasty is considered the most difficult of all the cosmetic surgeries. It is impossible to hide imperfections in the middle of your face and millimeters can make all the difference. When you choose a rhinoplasty surgeon, choose one that does a lot of procedures every year and one that has a special interest in rhinoplasty. Dr. Esmail is one of the busiest rhinoplasty surgeons in the city. He is also the only surgeon to have undergone special training for rhinoplasty. Dr. Esmail travels often to meetings around the world with other top rhinoplasty surgeons to make sure he always learning and bringing the leading edge techniques to Winnipeg.

Old age may be inevitable for everyone, but looking old doesn’t have to be.

5 days post op: Sutures are removed
10 days: Most swelling and bruising is gone
3months: Some swelling can last upto 3 months. We can evaluate the final result around this time
6months: The incision lines are well hidden but can remain pink for upto 6 months. By this time you will be fully healed, laser can be used to lighten any excess pigmentation at this time.
If you have drooping eyelids or bags under your eyes that keep your face from looking fresh and youthful, eyelid surgery may be right for you.
Blepharoplasty can be performed in conjunction with a facelift or other cosmetic surgeries to enhance the end result, so be sure to talk with your surgeon about the options available.
This is an outpatient treatment done under local anesthesia. Oral sedation can be given if you are nervous.
Most people return to normal activities after 7 - 10 days following blepharoplasty. By two weeks after eyelid surgery the majority of the bruising and swelling will resolve.
Results are generally long lasting, however the longevity of results vary slightly between patients. You may expect the results of the upper eyelids to last about 5 - 7 year, and the results for the lower eye are essentially permanent.
BLURB ABOUT TREATMENT
A facelift is an effective way to reduce the visible signs of aging in the face and neck, or, more specifically:
- Eliminate sagging skin
- Smooth wrinkles such as laugh lines
- Remove excess fat
- Rejuvenate areas of the face that have lost fat, or “sunken”
- Tighten loose skin that causes a double chin
Although a facelift cannot stop the aging process, it can slow it down considerably and give you more time to look young and beautiful.

- Buccal fat extraction
BUCCAL FAT EXTRACTION
The buccal fat pads are encapsulated fat deposits located on either side of the face beneath the first layer of fat that forms the cheeks. It is these fat deposits, when too large, that create the appearance of deep nasolabial folds and ‘chubby cheeks’. Large buccal fat pads can make one appear overweight and tired.
If you find yourself sucking in your cheeks in your selfies, our buccal fat removal may be the procedure for you. This simple and relatively rapid, procedure can help you to achieve a naturally sculpted and slimmer facial appearance. No more duck-face selfies! Procedure is often combined with Botox in the masseters, submental mini-lipo, and or chin augmentation.

This is an outpatient treatment done under local anesthesia. Dr Esmail will make incisions on the inside of your cheeks and remove all or some of the fat pad dependant on your goals and what will create the best result.
This procedure offers mild to moderate facial slimming.
Only get haircuts with bangs to camouflage your larger forehead? Brow advancement or forehead lowering procedure may be for you. A consultation with Dr Esmail is the first step.
Pain infection and some bleeding are risks with any type of surgery. This specific surgery has potential risk of temporary injury to the facial nerve. This is very uncommon but requires a specialized surgeon who knows the anatomy well.
Requires minimal downtime, spending at least 48 hours at home with ice on your cheeks and head elevated at all times, to help prevent swelling which will get you to your final results more quickly.
Results are typically long lasting. If you gain a lot of weight after your surgery, it is possible that your cheeks will begin to look plum again as the fat cells directly under your skin expands. You can expect a moderate amount of swelling that lasts up to 6 weeks after surgery a can up to 3 months for the final results of this surgery to reach its full affect.
