Dr Alex Seal

Plastic Surgeon, Vancouver, BC

Dr. Alex Seal was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, and is excited to practice in the city that he loves and grew up in.

He completed an undergraduate degree in Honours Physiology at the University of British Columbia, and following this, travelled to England to successfully complete studies at Cambridge University, obtaining a Masters of Philosophy Degree in the Department of Neurosurgery. He returned to Vancouver and completed both his medical school and residency training in Plastic Surgery at UBC, and feels very fortunate to have been trained by some of the best plastic surgeons in British Columbia. Upon graduation, Dr. Seal was awarded the Dr. I.B. Holubitsky Memorial Award, as the top graduating surgical resident for all surgical specialties.

Following his certification as a plastic surgeon by the Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, Dr. Seal moved to Los Angeles, California, entering into a busy, invaluable plastic surgery experience. During his time in Los Angeles, he completed the University of Southern California, Joseph H. Boyes Hand and Microsurgery Fellowship. In Los Angeles, he was able to develop additional expertise in the fields of hand surgery, microsurgery and cosmetic surgery, which he has brought back to his practice in Downtown Vancouver. He feels privileged to be involved in the care of his patients since 2011.

Please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Seal or his office and let us know how we can help in your plastic surgery care.
