Plastic Surgeon Dr. Julie Khanna in Oakville, Ontario

Meet Dr. Julie Khanna

As one of Canada’s leading cosmetic plastic surgeons for over 25 years, Dr. Julie Khanna looks beyond the surgical procedure to the patient as a whole, from inner self to outer beauty. Each procedure is unique to each patient. The best results come from first understanding the patient’s needs and desires, and then providing a tailor-made solution that meets the personal expectations of that patient.

Dr. Khanna takes the time to inform her patients of the most modern methods of cosmetic surgery available, enabling them to make informed choices about their own procedure.

I’m here to educate my patients about all the options available, and help them decide what’s appropriate for their lifestyle and the desired outcome.

Many of my patients prefer a surgeon who they believe understands their needs and how they feel about their bodies. We want every patient to be happy with their appearance and satisfied with their experience here.

Surgical Philosophy & Patient-Centered Care

As a female surgeon, Dr. Khanna is uniquely positioned within the field of plastic surgery where most patients are female. She offers an authentic understanding of the female body, including what pregnancy and breast feeding does to women, and how the female body evolves over time, from motherhood to menopause. She works to create a tailor-made solution for every patient and strives to provide patients with a superior experience before, during and after surgery.

Credentials, Training & Clinical Expertise

Dr. Khanna co-founded ICLS with her husband and fellow physician, Dr. Sheetal Sapra. She began her undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, received her medical degree from the University of Ottawa, and completed her training in plastic surgery at McMaster University. She is certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and a Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. In addition to her private practice at the ICLS, she is an attending plastic surgeon at the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.
