Dr. Reid was born in Vancouver and raised in Richmond. After graduation, he studied Science and then Medicine at University of British Columbia. He completed his residency in Plastic Surgery at the University of Calgary in 2008. 

Dr. Reid opened his Vancouver area plastic surgery practice in 2009. Today, he continues to share the Coastal Plastic Surgery office in Richmond with his colleagues.  Through this office, he offers a variety of insured (MSP) services and reconstructive surgery. Patients are commonly referred for the treatment of skin cancers, tumors, breast hypertrophy, gynecomastia and various hand conditions. 

In Vancouver, Dr. Reid has established a private practice at the Specialist Referral Clinic. Regionally,  he has a unique interest in patients who suffer with loose skin and related issues following weight loss. Over the past 10 years, he has developed a unique expertise with breast and body contouring surgery in this patient population and he aims to be the leading provider of this kind of care in the region. He is grateful to have been able to partner with the team at the Cambie Surgery Centre who offer a professional and safe environment for these procedures as well as a top level overnight stay experience. Although Dr. Reid specializes in surgery after weight loss, all patients interested in cosmetic breast surgery and body contouring are welcome. 

This is a small plastic surgery practice in which the consultations, procedures and aftercare are handled directly by Dr. Reid. 

Your Consultation

Dr. Reid aims to provide a consultation experience that is thorough and informative. For most, this will be a generously scheduled office visit that allows time to discuss multiple surgical procedures and how they might be combined or staged. 

The essential parts of a consultation include: a review of your goals, a detailed medical history, a focused physical exam, and a series of measurements and photographs. The examination is an opportunity for Dr. Reid to describe technical aspects of the procedures, such as scar position, and to develop clear expectations for the surgical outcome. 

The ensuing discussion will include: a review of your candidacy for surgery in a private surgical setting; a discussion of your surgical options and alternatives; a recommendation on how these procedures might be combined or staged; a description of the typical recovery; and a review of the potential risks.

Candidates for surgery will receive a quote and other information about the booking process  by email in the days that follow.
