DR. RONEN AVRAM

Dr. Ronen Avram is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with a Reconstructive & Cosmetic surgery practice in Hamilton & Burlington (Appleby Plastic Surgery), Ontario. He is an Associate Professor for the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University and the former Program Director for the Division of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Avram previously served as Head of the Plastic Surgery Division at Hamilton Health Sciences.

He completed his plastic surgery training at McMaster University in 2004. Dr. Avram pursued additional fellowship training in Breast Reconstruction & Microsurgery at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (2005-6, New York City, NY). Dr. Avram also received extensive Cosmetic Surgery training at The Institute of Aesthetic Surgery (2006-7, Northern Westchester, NY).

Dr. Avram joined the Division of Plastic Surgery at Hamilton Health Sciences in 2007. He quickly began to focus on the reconstructive needs of breast cancer patients while still attending to complex trauma related deformities and other types of cancer defects.

In 2025 Dr. Avram, his reconstructive colleague (Dr. Chris Coroneos) and former McMaster Plastic surgery alumnus (Dr. Daniel Waltho) opened Appleby Plastic Surgery in Burlington, Ontario. The state-of-the-art facility was created to enable delivery of cosmetic surgery with the highest possible standards while liberating their hospital-based reconstructive practices solely to ministry-funded procedures.

Education, Training and Experience

Dr. Avram’s advanced training and 15+ years of experience with complex cosmetic, and reconstructive breast surgery cases has made Dr. Avram one of Canada’s most sought after breast surgeons.

With his accumulated experience and established record, Dr. Avram is often called upon by other plastic surgeons for additional training opportunities and assistance with complex breast procedures.

"Reconstructing a breast from ‘scratch’ remains one of the most rewarding components of my practice. Throughout my fellowship training and independent practice experience, I have been able to observe and perform numerous breast implant procedures under some of the most challenging circumstances."
