Dr. Nick Carr has done 4 procedures with me over 20 years. It's a very professional team for sure he is the best in Vancouver hands down. Robert

Mommy makeover - Dec. 12, 2023. It cost me just over $26,000.00. Before pics June 2022.
The recovery included an overnight stay with a 6 am checkout. I had a good experience with the two lady nurses, however I had a very unpleasant experience with the male night nurse, I was told "maybe if you stop talking you could get some sleep" I said it hurts. I didn't ask for more drugs, just expressed pain & I couldn't sleep. He didn't need to be rude.
The after care nurse took care of me as my surgeon was on vacation for 2 months after I had my procedure. I wasn't told that he wouldn't be there after my surgery until my 2nd week post op follow up. The aftercare nurse did great but my questions had anxiety attached & it would have been nice to see the surgeon for some of my worries, like puckering & wrinkled scars on my hips that looked like "dog earing." I was upset that I wasn't being given a doctor's opinion for the upsetting scar issues, at 4 weeks & at 7 weeks post op. But the aftercare nurse always got back to me within 48 hours when I had pain or a spit stitch!
After my 7 week follow up Google Maps prompted me to leave a review. I left an honest review regarding my results & how I was treated. (I have slight shelfing on my breasts when I lift my arms & small wrinking on my breast scars, my scar across my hips has a slight pooch & the ends are pointing & wrinkling)
Today was my follow up with Dr. Carr. 11 weeks after my procedure. I was asked how I was, he looked quickly at my scars, then he brought out my Google review that he'd printed. He told me he had an issue working with me since I had said such "nasty" things about him.
He spent a lot of time telling me that I had "life changing results," that the price tag was worth the results I got, & that I was attacking his practice. That because he was well established my review wasn't going to hurt him. He brought out printed pictures he had taken of me at my consultation June 2022 of my body on its way down in weight & starting to sag. He told me my results were life changing. That I should be grateful. That I was saying nasty things falsely about him.
I don't know if you've ever been in front of a doctor in your gown, tears running down your face, being told your 3/5 star review was an attack against him, while he shamed you with printed versions of your before body like it meant that my issues with the surgeries weren't valid because I was clearly much better now... but it was so degrading, shaming & hurtful.
I was in my gown in front of him & was being berated because I didn't like the results enough to believe they were worth "life changing" amounts of money.
I was crying but I stood up for myself. I said they weren't nasty, they were honest. That I was treated badly, that my body was better now but I had legitimate issues with the results that he was not addressing.
He deflected & said I hurt his employees, he stood behind them & would not discuss my concerns until I asked, "What do you want? Do you want me to delete my review?" He made sure not to ask me to remove it but he didn't stop pushing about it. I felt I had to ask. He said yes, that it's my choice but yes that is what he wants. I said fine! I said I was still upset that he would address a Google review & not waver or get to my follow up until I agreed to remove my honest opinion & experience.
He told me that all of the scars would settle themselves out by the end of a year, keep going to the gym, wear the silicone tape & to follow up with him in three months. This was his only medical opinion.
I'm not a medical professional. I am someone who worked very hard to make my body healthy. My partner & I spent $26,000.00 to make me feel good about my body. I did a lot of research & I religiously took care of & documented my results.
The work/results are 7/10. The price was too high. The treatment by Dr. Carr was abhorrent. No woman should be shamed and made to feel the way I was today by a doctor who took an oath to do no harm!

Save you money and go see the botched doctor… because you’ll need it! I am waiting to get in with Dr. Dubrow (yes from tv show botched) after 3 surgeries from Dr. Carr!

Personally I like Dr. Carr himself, I think he is nice, funny, and knowledgeable! But i think he is at a point where he doesn’t care about the health, quality or outcome of his work which is super unfortunate!

My experience was with breast implants, I had implants put in in my early 20s that were not amazing but healed great and never had any issues!

3 kids and 10+ years later and wanting to change up my implants I had a great consultation with Dr.Carr I said I wanted bigger and perky breasts he gave me 3 sizes to choose from and said going with a high profile silicone implant will give me exactly what I need!

Months later and almost double the cost of my first surgery (no breast lift) just implant switch areola incisions! I came out of surgery waking up in pain. Was given a huge dose of gravol and sent on my way… that night I was able to see visibly from my bandages that my nipples were not symmetrical and my bandages full of blood! To make a long story short Dr.Carr didn’t awnser my calls for my first 4 days at home, I then finally got a call back by his nurse who was great at reassuring me I wasn’t going to die of infection as my whole one breast was super infected! She prescribed me antibiotics, instructed me to soak my bandages off and continue with my ointment and anti biotics!
After getting through a horrible healing (at home, never getting to actually see dr carr) I was left with two different size breasts, uneven areolas, huge scars, and one areola completely white from some sort of pressure or scarring under and also random sharp nerve pains (not to mention huge breast implants)

Next step… another surgery (paying thousands more)
Outcome was symmetrical nipples and better similar sizes! Still left with nerve pain, terrible scarring and now this time random hole like healings/little fold like scars, I also now am having back pain and possible BII that I wasn’t even sure was a thing until now! I am planning to have my implants removed, scar removal and reconstructive surgery!

Overall breast implants are overrated, not in style anymore, unhealthy and are something you will end up wanting out and correcting scars and damages from until you are old and don’t care! Save your money and love your body 🤍 or go see a doctor that has the best interest of you and the long term effects plastic surgery will have on your body… Dr Carr is just not that Doctor anymore!

This review is long overdue,but after 3 years of ongoing surgeries following a detailed plan designed by Dr. Carr to achieve my goals ,I owe at least a huge Thank You to an amazing, experienced ,talented doctor and his entire team. I lost my confidence over the years due to aging and changes of the body(having children,etc)and found myself in a body I didn't like. Was a long process,step by step,well planned(yes costhly) and final results to my expectations. If you're looking for a cosmetic surgeon that you can trust his work,look no further. Compassionate,professional,intelligent,integrity,easy to talk to,list goes on.And a dream team from reception to the surgical team.
Thank you Dr Carr and team.
With always respect,MC .

Bedside manner - non existent. Quite abrupt. Didn't read my file before my appt. Asked me why I was there. Was giving post procedure information and it took me a minute to realize he was speaking to me.

I got a mommy makeover ( tummy tuck, breast lift) and Lipo done by Dr. Carr and couldnt be more thrilled. My results are absolutely awesome. My breasts are perfectly aligned, my tummy looks great, stretch marks are gone and im just SO happy i went with him. I was put at ease immediately during consultation, the staff was great as well. This was my first surgery ever and it went very well I was very confident in my choice with Dr. Carr and his team and would highly recommend.

This doctor is a nightmare. After developing a serious complication for an abdominoplasty that he performed, he had the gall to do my first follow up appointment through his nurse because he was operating on someone else. He had her take pictures of my horrific wound and show him WHILE HE WAS IN THE OPERATING ROOM DOING SURGERY ON SOMEONE ELSE! That is how unprofessional he is, I can't imagine the poor person who was under the knife to this doctor. I'm sure they never knew that he was looking at pictures while they were being operated on and possibly compromising the sterile field by having the nurse go in and out. To say the least, I didn't feel he cared in at all. On a subsequent visit when he actually made the time to see me, he told me "don't be depressed" after I told him how I felt. That is about the least therapeutic thing to say to a person who is depressed and does not provide any validation. It took months to heal and the wound wouldn't close with the treatment he prescribed. It only healed when I had care from some excellent home health nurses which were not associated with his practice. I now have a horrific scar and wish I had never seen this arrogant little man.
