How do you raise the level of the toilet after tile install?
Depends on how much you need. Sometimes you can just use two wax rings. If that doesn't do it, you can use a PVC toilet flange and use it to make up the difference. Cut it off the right height and use a wax ring between it and the old flange. You cut the old flange out and extend the pipe and a new flange. If you put backer board down first and then the tile, you probably raised the floor level about 3/4 of an inch. Two wax rings with the black funnel insert in them should be enough to seal the toilet to the drain.
Will the toilet install properly if the flange is higher than tile?
Depends on how much higher and how the toilet is made. They are not all the same. A PVC flange is supposed to be above the floor level and will clear. They are about 1/4 inch thick. You can probably get away with up to 3/8 of an inch, but any more than that and the toilet will rock on the drain and eventually leak.
How can I effectively tile around a toilet to ensure a seamless and professional finish?
To effectively tile around a toilet for a seamless and professional finish, follow these steps: Remove the toilet and clean the area thoroughly.

Cut tiles to fit around the toilet base and install them. Apply grout to fill in the gaps between tiles. Reinstall the toilet and seal the edges with silicone caulk for a finished look.
Can you increase height of toilet flange?
Extend the Wax Ring instead. The Fluidmaster No.35B Wax Extender Kit is specifically designed for problem areas where the floor flange is 1/4" to 1" below the surface as in tile work. The cost is under $6. Some plumbing supply stores sell an extension that bolts to your existing flange. If you need an extension due to new tile work, this will do the trick. If the flange is only one quarter inch or less below floor level, you can just use two wax rings.
