Director of Anesthesia, FACE Cosmetic Surgery, Lecturer, University of Toronto Staff Anesthesiologist, Trillium Health Centre
A graduate of Queen’s Medical School and the University of Toronto Anesthesia Program, Dr. Donnelly heads the anesthesiology services at FACE Cosmetic Surgery. While anesthesia can be a source of anxiety for many patients, Dr. Donnelly’s gentle and comforting approach puts even the most nervous patients at ease. Going beyond simply putting patients “to sleep”, his attention to detail ensures the highest levels of safety during your procedure.
For most facial plastic surgery procedures, intravenous sedation anesthesia is used. With this technique, patients are monitored very carefully to makes sure that they are fully asleep and do not have any awareness or pain during the surgery. In comparison to a full general anesthetic, during intravenous sedation, patients are not intubated or placed on a ventilator—they continue to breathe on their own. We find this technique to greatly decrease the side effects of a full anesthetic with less nausea and vomiting and a quicker recovery period. For patients that have medical comorbidities or are having a more complex procedure, Dr. Asaria and Dr. Donnelly may recommend a general anesthetic which would be administered at the Hospital.

“If you choose to have an injectable treatment, the results should be beautiful but subtle. I try and look at each patient and determine what tiny enhancements I can create to make them feel confident and refreshed without looking different. As a professional female myself, I think I have an appreciation for the importance of looking beautiful without looking done.”
Dr. Chan serves as the Co-Director of the University of Toronto Residents’ Injectables Training course where she teaches anatomy and injection techniques. As a board certified surgeon, she uses a delicate technique and has an eye for detail when planning your individualized treatment plan. She is a strong proponent of enhancing beauty in a natural and subtle manner. She takes a “less is more” approach to injectables and generally favours providing treatments in a careful and gradual manner over time.
