About
The Centre for Minor Surgery (CFMS) was formed in 2016 by Dr. Robert Backstein and Dr. Richard Backstein, brothers and Royal College-certified plastic surgeons. They provide cosmetic surgery treatments for benign and cancerous growths in Toronto that are accessible, quick, and easy, yet performed with precision and attention to safety and aesthetics.
How did CFMS come about?
Drs. Robert and Richard Backstein chose to combine their skills as plastic surgeons to establish a practice dedicated to their common interest in minor surgery. They saw a need in the community as residents of the Greater Toronto area were frustrated by having to obtain referrals and undergo lengthy waits to have simple—yet life-changing—procedures.
What should prospective patients know about treatment at CFMS?
- You do not need a referral to be seen by our doctors. Just book a consultation using our online form or by calling (416) 663-9649.
- Generally, no preparation is required. Most patients don’t need to stop medications, fast, or do blood work before treatment. (Make your surgeon aware of your health issues and medications to ensure your safety and the best quality of care.)

Will minor surgery leave a scar?
Many patients are under the impression that surgery performed by plastic surgeons won’t leave a scar. With all surgeries–no matter how small–scars are inevitable. Our doctors advise patients on the best way to manage the recovery process to keep anxieties about healing to a minimum. Be reassured that at CFMS we specialize in techniques that minimize scars and optimize final results.
