About Dr. Jennifer Prince
Dr. Jennifer Prince is an accomplished board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive training in reconstructive cancer surgery, breast surgery, hand and peripheral nerve surgery, and cosmetic surgery. In her reconstructive practice she is known for her expertise in breast and skin cancer surgery, and complex microsurgical procedures. She performs cosmetic surgical procedures at Valley Surgery Centre and is a Clinical Instructor at the University of British Columbia within the division of Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Prince completed her Bachelor of Science, Medical Doctor degree, and Plastic Surgery residency training at the University of British Columbia. Following her Plastic Surgery certification as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada, Dr. Prince moved to San Francisco, where she received further subspecialty training, and completed a one-year fellowship at the prestigious, world-renowned Buncke Clinic. During her fellowship, Dr. Prince had the opportunity to enrich her skills in performing highly complex reconstructive procedures such as digit replantation and microsurgical free tissue transplantation.
Since completing her training in 2008, she has worked in Fraser Health, and enjoys an accomplished practice of trauma, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. She was instrumental in starting the microsurgery program in Fraser Health Authority, which has allowed patients with severe traumatic and cancer defects to obtain a higher level of care closer to home. Her training and experience have allowed her to develop expertise in both reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgical procedures. She feels privileged to use her skillset to contribute to her community and feels humbled to be a part of her patients’ lives.
Born and raised in northern British Columbia, Dr. Prince grew up on a farm in a small town, where she spent a lot of her time outdoors, at the rink skating, or on a horse. She is married with two children and enjoys a very active outdoor lifestyle with her family. She loves to run, read, travel and spend time with her family and close friends.
