Chiming in with my dermabrasion experience:
Simply the nature of scars is that they’re hard to treat, but my very old and stubborn atrophic scars have softened quite a bit. I would trust him for other facial treatments as well — he was super chill and knowledgeable

I'm not one to usually leave reviews, but I simply had to share my wonderful experience with Dr. Brandt. It's been about a year since I first met him for a facelift consultation, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Dr. Brandt was not only kind but also refreshingly straightforward about what he could achieve and what wasn't realistic. Unlike some other surgeons I met, who seemed to put on a bit of a song and dance, Dr. Brandt was exactly what I was looking for—a genuine, no-nonsense doctor.

I opted for a facelift and laser surgery, and I won't sugarcoat it—the first few days of recovery were a bit rough. But I powered through, and Dr. Brandt was there every step of the way, even giving me his cell phone number just in case I needed anything. His commitment to ensuring my proper healing was truly reassuring.

I've been regularly seeing Dr. Brandt since the surgery, and the transformation has been nothing short of delightful. It's been just over a year, and "wow" is all I can say. I specifically asked for a natural result where I'd still feel like myself, and Dr. Brandt absolutely delivered. My jowls are gone, that pesky neck gobble is a thing of the past, and I feel fantastic.

I have a friend who went through a facelift with a different surgeon, and I was really worried about visible scars. I can honestly say I'm blown away by how discreet mine are. Dr. Brandt's expertise has given me results beyond my expectations, and I'm so grateful I chose him as my surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Brandt!

No delay. Taken right away. Although I was anxious, he explained precisely what needed to be done, and what he was doing as the procedure was taking place. Full explanation upon completion. Gentle and excellent care. wonderful outcomel

Dr. Brandt did a wonderful job in removing a cancerous tumour from my face. He gave me several options regarding the surgery, drew me a diagram to explain what he would do and made the incision fit within the lines on my face so that the results would not be very visible. He gave me a great deal of confidence to proceed with the surgery. I recommend him highly.

Dr. Brandt is patient and always gives careful consideration to any concern I have about my cosmetic facial issues. His injection technique is excellent. I am a physician as well and I would happily refer any of my patients to him for treatment.

Amazing doctor I’m so blessed to have found. I had to have radiation on my forehead in 2016 due to BCC. Four years later the area that was treated started to sink into my head forming a bowl. Unfortunately another plastic surgeon tried to fix this area and the results were horrible. I thought I was disfigured for life and the forehead isn’t a forgiving area. Dr.Brandt assured me he would be able to help and one year after that botched surgery I put all my trust in Dr.Brandt for another go at it. He was meticulous in his work, took his time and the results have been magnificent. This is one skilled doctor who takes pride in his work and goes the extra mile to be amazing at it. Thank you Dr.Brandt.

I met dr. Brandt first time in May of 2021, over at the Thornhill Dermatology Clinic. I had a large cyst grown on my upper back that had to be removed. I decided to delay the procedure until after the summer, to enjoy my vacation. It turned out to be a bad decision. When the appointment came, the cyst was already infected badly, inflamed and oozing puss. The procedure had to be delayed, antibiotics subscribed, the cyst drained, a number of visits required to get everything under control. Throughout the whole nightmare dr. Brandt was very kind, supportive and very patient. He did not rush the procedure until the infection subsided - it took almost 4 months. Finally the cyst was removed in late January. It was done very professionally and since dr. Brandt is a plastic surgeon, the resulting scar is going to be inconspicuous and it is heeling well.
I would recommend this doctor to anyone for his knowledge, professionalism, patient manner and dedication.

I have been seeing Dr. Brandt since mid March. I was assured from my first appt. by his manner and action that he knew what he was doing, was confident and extremely knowledgeable.. He inspires. Dr. Brandt does not just hear he listens. He is empathetic. I felt validated. He understood what I was feeling both physically and emotionally. He was honest and forthright. He told things to me straight and what would work for me, not a cookie cutter solution or instant fix. Dr. Brandt is respectful. He took me seriously and worked with me. He values his patients and builds relationships with his patients. He remembers your name. You're not just a chart or a number. He is more than book smart. He is an artist, gifted and talented.. He is focused and completely present. He is meticulous in his work. Dr. Brandt also continues to study and continues to keep abreast with all the latest techniques and knowledge. He is also unbiased. He is humane. He has a passion for his work. He is dedicated and has a strong work ethic and communicates very well. He is also very professional. My results far exceeded my expectations. I look natural and like me. My smile is back. I would highly recommend Dr. Michael Brandt.
Thank-you, thank-you Dr. Brandt!

I had upper eyelid surgery and a facial laser procedure a few months ago. Dr. Brandt was awesome. He was straight forward with what I could expect, took great care of me afterwards, and gave me the results I was hoping for. Can't say enough great things about this gem of a doctor. On a side note, Sovereign is the nicest place I've ever been to. It's like a 5-star boutique hotel with the level of service that goes with it.

Biography

As an Otolaryngologist - Head and Neck Surgeon, I care for adults and children with health conditions of the ears, nose, throat and head and neck region. My passion, clinical interest, and subspecialty training is in Reconstructive Facial Plastic Surgery with a focus on skin cancer (removal and post-removal reconstruction). My background includes a four-year undergraduate degree in Psychology & Research Methodology at York University. This was followed by a four-year medical degree, and then five-years of residency training in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Western Ontario. I then completed one-year of sub-specialized training in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Michigan under the mentorship of world-renowned surgeon Dr. Shan Baker. Dr. Baker is an international authority on facial plastic surgery and has written several gold-standard textbooks on facial and nasal reconstruction following skin cancer removal. As an academic surgeon I have had the opportunity to collaboratively publish over 30 peer-reviewed publications, lecture nationally and internationally, and receive several national and international research awards. In an effort to further refine my research skills, I am currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Western Ontario - where my research is focused on the development of a scar assessment scale (tool), which will be followed by an extensive assessment of methods to improve skin scarring. Additional research interests involve: determining how surgeons learn new technical skills, and the development of outcome measures within Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery - i.e. finding ways to establish if a particular surgery, procedure, or technique does what it is intended to do.
