About

Mr Wallace was an Academic Scholar and Art Scholar at Tonbridge School, Kent, and further educated at the University of Edinburgh Medical School. He qualified in 2000 with Bachelor's Degrees in Medicine, Surgery, and Science with Honours. He was awarded the Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2004. His Plastic Surgery training began in Edinburgh and continued in the prestigious Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead. In 2005, he was competitively selected for Microsurgery Fellowship at the renowned Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan, where he was personally trained by the world-famous Plastic Surgeon, Professor Fu-Chan Wei, and achieved his Master's degree with medal. He returned to England in 2008 for further Specialist Plastic Surgery training and gained Fellowship to the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in Plastic Surgery in 2012. He undertook subspecialist fellowships encompassing complex plastic surgery for the face, nose, head and neck, craniofacial and aesthetic surgery. In 2014, Mr Wallace was appointed Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. He was the senior reconstructive Consultant Plastic Surgeon in the Head and Neck Cancer Multidisciplinary Team, serving the population of the South-West of England by providing complex facial, head and neck reconstruction for functional and aesthetic purposes. The demand for his work rapidly grew together with his reputation for delivering compassionate care and high quality surgical outcomes and, in 2020, he subspecialised fully into Aesthetic Surgery within his private practice.

Mr Wallace performs the full spectrum of modern aesthetic surgery, specialising in:

·                breast augmentation, reduction and uplift (mastopexy)
·                facial aesthetic surgery (eyelid and eye bag reduction, facelift, neck lift, midface lift, browlift, structural facial contouring with facial implants)
·                nose reshaping (rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty)
·                ear reshaping and setback (pinnaplasty)
·                tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and body contouring (liposuction)
·                thigh lift
·                arm lift (brachioplasty)
·                removal of benign lumps, bumps and skin lesions
