Daniel Evan Borsuk, O.Q., M.S.C.
Montréal, Quebec

In 2018, plastic surgeon Daniel Borsuk and his team performed Canada’s first-ever face transplant. This procedure enables patients to gradually reintegrate into society with greater self-esteem and without fear of being ostracized. It is a surgical breakthrough highlighting Canadian medical expertise both nationally and internationally.
