What is the Omakase Body Restoration?

A fully customized surgical plan — built through genuine collaboration between you and your surgeon. You bring your goals, your concerns, and the version of yourself you are working toward. Your surgeon brings the clinical expertise to translate that into a plan that is safe, specific, and entirely yours. Nothing is selected from a menu. Every procedure, every decision, is curated around you.

Anyone for whom there is a gap between the body they have and the body they want to inhabit. That gap looks different for everyone — post-pregnancy, post-weight-loss, years of wanting to address something specific, or as part of a gender-affirming journey. The SELF Institute does not define who belongs here. You do.

Why is it called Omakase?

Because every other name assumes a story. "Mommy makeover" assumes pregnancy and motherhood. "Body masculinization" assumes a specific transition pathway. Both are labels — and labels define the patient before they walk through the door. Omakase carries none of that. It means trust and personalization — a skilled practitioner building something guided entirely by who you are and where you are starting from. The procedure should never be bigger than the person having it.

Is this patient-led or does the surgeon decide?

Both. You arrive with your goals and the outcome you are working toward. Your surgeon brings the clinical expertise to translate that into a safe, personalized plan. Nothing is prescribed. Every decision is made together.

What does "the result is dictated by where you start" mean?

No two results are the same — nor should they be. Two people pursuing an identical combination of procedures will arrive at different outcomes, because their anatomy, skin, and proportions are their own. The standard is not someone else’s before and after. It is the finest version of you.

What procedures can be included?

The plan draws from everything The SELF Institute offers. For post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss restoration — breast augmentation, lift, or reduction, combined with a tummy tuck, liposuction, arm lift, or thigh lift. For body feminization — procedures that shape and soften the silhouette, including breast augmentation, liposuction, and body contouring tailored to a more feminine proportion. For top surgery or chest masculinization — a flat, natural chest contour aligned with your identity. For body masculinization — waist, flank, and back contouring to shift your silhouette in the direction that feels most like you. Every plan is different because every patient is different.

Can everything be done at once?

Whether procedures are performed in a single session or staged across two depends on the scope of your plan, your overall health, and what will produce the best outcome. Your surgeon will determine the appropriate sequencing and present a clear surgical plan before anything is confirmed.

In the weeks before surgery, we provide a personalized preparation plan. This typically covers optimizing your health, pausing medications and supplements that can increase bleeding, and avoiding nicotine, which impairs healing. We’ll also help you plan the practical details — time off work, prescriptions, and arranging a ride home with some support for the first day or two.

What should I expect during the consultation?

Your consultation begins with a conversation. Dr. Armstrong wants to understand what you see and what you hope to change. She examines the area and walks you through your options with complete candour, including what surgery can and cannot achieve. You leave with a clear recommendation, realistic expectations, a personalized quote, and answers to every question you came in with.

Is the surgeon board-certified?

Yes. Dr. Katie Armstrong is a Royal College–certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon (FRCSC) with hospital affiliation in Toronto. Certification reflects years of accredited surgical training and a commitment to ongoing standards of safety and excellence.

Where is it performed?

Surgery is performed at GraceMed Mississauga, in partnership with the McLean Clinic — Dr. Armstrong’s primary practice, home to a fully accredited surgical facility and an experienced surgical team, with dedicated anesthesia care throughout. Your consultation, pre-operative appointments and follow-up care all take place at the same location: 50 Burnhamthorpe Rd W, Suite 343, Mississauga, ON L5B 3C2.
