About Dr. Motakis
Dr. Dimitrios Motakis is a board-certified plastic surgeon (MD, PhD, FRCSC) with over two decades of experience, focused primarily on facial cosmetic surgery. His practice centers on procedures such as face and neck lifting, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, and adjunctive treatments that support a comprehensive approach to facial balance and aging.
Advanced Techniques, Focused on Natural Results
Dr. Motakis specializes in deep plane face and neck lifting, a technique that repositions underlying tissues to restore support and contour. This approach allows for results that are longer-lasting, more natural in movement, and less reliant on skin tension.
Natural, Refined Results
Case 8813
By working within deeper structures and avoiding reliance on surface-level changes, outcomes are designed to preserve natural expression and avoid an overdone appearance. Subtle, cohesive refinements ensure the result is seen, but not obvious.
A Personalized, Supported Process
Every treatment plan is developed through a detailed consultation, focused on understanding individual goals and facial structure. From initial inquiry through to recovery, care is structured, clear, and consistent — with support at every stage.
Out-of-Town Patient Experience
Many patients travel to Toronto for surgery. The clinic provides guidance around accommodation, recovery planning, and post-operative care to ensure a smooth and well-supported experience. Patients are typically advised to remain locally for 10–14 days following surgery before returning home.
A Thoughtful Approach to Facial & Cosmetic Surgery
Dr. Motakis approaches facial surgery through a deep understanding of structure, proportion, and how each feature relates to the whole. Whether addressing the changes that come with aging or refining facial balance earlier in life, his focus remains the same: restoring or optimizing underlying structure while preserving natural expression and identity.

This was the consultation that changed my life and helped me make my decision to undergo these procedures, and where to have them done. The other clinics made me feel uneasy and it seemed that they were more interested in doing more than needed to be done, rather than fixing my concerns and pain... Dr. Motakis listens to his patients, is laser focused, and knew exactly what would best for me personally, and that's the magic.
