"I was born and raised in British Columbia and am proud to contribute to the health and well-being of the citizens of this province. I have been in clinical practice in Vancouver since 1990 and am currently the Head of Plastic Surgery at UBC. Over the years, I have made it a priority to maintain my education and skills at the highest standard and have successfully treated thousands of patients."

"My approach is to treat each patient as an individual – just like a member of my own family – offering the best of plastic surgery technology combined with my own experience as to what really works and what is most appropriate for them. I take the time to make sure patients understand all surgical options, what to expect and how much "down time" they will have. Ultimately this ensures a rewarding experience – and the best possible aesthetic results – for all my patients.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
The "tummy tuck" procedure is used to remove excess fat and skin while tightening the underlying muscles, making your stomach appear firmer and flatter. For those self-conscious of skin permanently stretched due to weight loss, pregnancy or lower abdominal surgery, unsightly stretch marks or sagging skin, this procedure may be for you. The best results from abdominoplasty are achieved in healthy men and women over eighteen years of age who do not smoke, eat a healthy diet, and are already involved in a regular exercise program. The procedure takes about four hours under a light general anaesthetic in our private, onsite surgical facility and you will be able to go home the same day

Liposuction
Liposuction is an excellent way to achieve a better-proportioned body by removing and sculpting excess fat to achieve a slimmer, shapelier figure. This allows clothing to fit properly as well as improving body shape and confidence. Common treatment areas include hips, abdomen, flanks, "double chin" and neck. Modern liposuction surgery offers a safe and dependable method of removing unwanted fat and improving body contour. An ideal candidate for liposuction is a healthy adult within twenty-five pounds of their ideal body weight with one or more target areas that have proven resistant to diet and exercise. Individuals with greater skin elasticity will achieve the smoothest end results. The surgery is done in their private operating room and will take one to four hours, depending on the number of areas being treated. The type of anaesthetic will also depend on your particular surgery, and patients are able to go home the same day.

Male Breast Reduction
Gynecomastia (Male Breast Reduction) Gynecomastia is the medical term for "woman-like breasts," a common condition that affects an estimated forty to sixty percent of men. For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance due to this condition, male breast reduction surgery can help. This surgery reduces "male breasts" by removing excess fat in the chest area to restore a more masculine and athletic looking body. Dr. Carr makes an inconspicuous incision on the edge of the areolas or in the underarm area. He will then remove the excess glandular tissue, fat and skin from the sides and bottom of the breast. If there is excessive fatty tissue, liposuction may be used to remove the excess fat.
