 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a minor surgery on my leg done by Dr. Bashir, and I can’t recommend him enough.  He’s incredibly kind, gracious and immediately puts you at ease.  Highly skilled, knowledgeable and charismatic to boot - he made the whole process as “enjoyable” as surgery can be.  Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had some medically necessary work done by Dr. Bashir and he is an amazing surgeon with an incredible bedside manner. He is humble, intelligent, a scholar and a gentleman. His skills are truly spectacular and his knowledge is top notch. He always has a smile and he will put you at ease when you see him. He explains everything he's planning on doing and executes his plan accordingly. He's an excellent communicator and was extremely patient with me. We are very lucky to have him in Vancouver and without a doubt, I would highly recommend him.

Update: Saw Dr. Bashir for my post-op work and again, he was exceptional in his bedside manner. He was happy with the work he did and the healing taking place. Asked him a few questions and he was, again, his patience was evident. His skill as a surgeon is just truly amazing but more so he is truly a good person.

Update #2: I saw Dr. Bashir for the final time to finish off the post-op checkup. One word comes to mind when describing Dr. Bashir: humility. The good doctor his not only intelligent, smart, competent, and caring but he exemplifies humility. I am sincerely humbled by the fact that I was referred to Dr. Bashir and I stand by my previous words to describe him. We are extremely lucky to have him here and without a doubt, I would and have recommended Dr. Bashir.

I recently had nose reconstruction surgeries after an Mohs surgery and are very happy with the results and did not have any complications.

Kavita answered my millions of questions with a smile and was on the ball and Dr. Bashir  did good work, re-assuring me and making it a very pleasant experience. Now I  just can't get addicted to getting work done :P

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Bashir operated on one of my family members, who was diagnosed with a rare cancer. Thankfully, Dr. Bashir encountered the cancer once before in his career, a testament to his experience. The surgery (we waited just weeks for availability) was successful and the cancer was removed. Dr. Bashir was thorough and sent matter for laboratory analysis in case microscopic amounts remained. At his office he was kind and answered questions in detail. We are grateful for his professionalism and skill.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly could not be happier with my results! I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. Bashir and the results are even better than I imagined. I am extremely particular about my body and did my research for this surgery I had been wanting for ten years. When I finally met Dr. Bashir I knew instantly that it was going to be a good fit. He understood exactly what I wanted and made me feel comfortable through the whole process. I would 100000% do this surgery over again and choose Dr. Bashir every time! Recovery was easy and he made what could have been a nerve racking experience actually exciting and enjoyable. Could not possible have gone any better than it did. I definitely recommend using him! He’s AMAZING!!!!!

Dr Bashir was my surgeon and not only did he do a fantastic job but he was professional, polite, kind, addressed concerns I had, and made me feel comfortable. 10/10 would go to him again and recommend him to my friends and family should they need a surgeon with his skill set

The treatment is minimal pain and will be quick however, numbing the skin may be an option provided to help you manage pain. The injections normally feel like a tight pinch for a few seconds.

If you are wanting to slow the ageing process down and struggle with fine lines and wrinkles, lack of volume, and elasticity then you are an ideal candidate for filler treatment. During a consultation, you will be informed by a certified plastic surgeon on whether you are suitable. if you are not wanting plastic surgery then filler treatment is better suited to individuals wanting long-term results with the need for surgery.

The most common side effects you will experience are bruising and swelling. This should subside within the first few days and can be managed with pain killers and cold compressions. If the swelling does not subside and results in more serious complications of the treatment such as breathing difficulties then you may be having an allergic reaction. If you are experiencing an allergic reaction it is vital to seek professional medical help.

Full recovery can take up to 14 days for final results. Within the first 48 hours is when swelling may occur. You should follow aftercare set out by your practitioner to ensure results can heal. This includes avoiding strenuous activity, heat, cosmetic treatments, and products including make-up and skincare products.

Fillers can last up to 12 months. Follow-up treatment is advised to prolong results and reduce the number of treatments needed each year if you are hoping to maintain the results. Depending on the individual’s skin type results may last longer if the appearance of lines and wrinkles is not significant. If there are a significant number of wrinkles and treatments then it will be recommended to have at least 3 treatments to gain the desired results.

Dermal Fillers are safe to perform when performed by a registered medical professional. A board-certified dermatologist can advise you on where you should have the treatment, what type of filler will be used and why and the side effects to look out for.
