The Reasons Patients
Travel Here — From Across Canada and the U.S.
You are comparing surgeons. You have read credentials, looked at results, maybe received a quote or two. You are trying to answer the most fundamental question: who do I trust? Here is why patients from every province and many U.S. states choose Dr. N. S. Huq.
- 28 Years of practice
- 60,000+ Operations performed
- < 1% Published infection rate
Triple
Board-Certified.
Dr. N. S. Huq is triple board-certified: FRCSC (Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada), Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He holds an Added Qualification in Surgery of the Hand and is fellowship-trained at the Kleinert Institute — one of the world’s leading microsurgery centres.
He has been in practice for 28 years, has personally seen more than 70,000 patients, and has performed over 60,000 operations — including approximately 1,000 facelift and neck lift procedures and more than 1,000 eyelid surgeries.
For 23 years he has served as Assistant Clinical Professor of Surgery at McMaster University, and he is the Guest Editor of an Elsevier textbook on local anesthesia in plastic surgery.
Measurable.
Transparent. Personal.
He personally performs every surgery
Dr. Huq personally leads every surgery — he is the operating surgeon on every case, assisted by his team of registered nurses, surgical assistants, and assistant surgeons. Your case stays with Dr. Huq from consultation through recovery, and he personally calls you afterward.
A published safety record
Dr. Huq’s published infection rate is less than 1% across more than 2,800 in-office surgeries, published in Canadian Plastic Surgery in 2024.
Dual-accredited facility
Accredited by both the CPSO and Accreditation Canada. All general anesthesia is managed by Canadian board-certified FRCPC physician anesthesiologists — never nurse anesthetists.
Honest, all-inclusive pricing
Your quote includes the surgeon’s fee, accredited facility fee, anesthesia, and all follow-up appointments. Often $20,000+ less than comparable GTA quotes — with no hidden costs.
Local anesthesia expertise
One of the few surgeons in Canada who routinely offers procedures — including deep plane facelifts — under local anesthesia or TIVA. Dr. Huq is the published authority on the subject.
A private, patient-first environment
A standalone surgical facility with a private rear entrance, a second-floor private waiting area, complimentary on-site parking, and Greater Niagara General Hospital half a block away.
A Career Measured
in Outcomes.
Safety is not a talking point — it is a measurable outcome. From 2004 to 2011, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario asked Dr. Huq to assess the quality of other doctors’ practices. This is a career built on discipline, scholarship, and an unbroken commitment to the highest standards of care.
Trusted by Patients,
Recognized by Peers.
The results look incredibly natural — refreshed, firmer, and more youthful without looking tight or overdone.
He took his time explaining the procedures, not rushing, treating me almost as his family.
Dr. Huq is an artist! Better than what I hoped for. A no-nonsense, straight shooter with an overabundance of knowledge and experience.
A Commitment,
Not a Strategy.
Dr. Huq and his family have called Niagara home since 2001. A branch of the St. Catharines Public Library bears the Huq family name. The practice supports Nova House for women and children, the Boys and Girls Club, and the YMCA.
Dr. Huq has participated in humanitarian surgical missions and disaster-relief efforts spanning four continents. Twenty-five years in one community is not a business strategy — it is a commitment. Learn more about our giving back.
