Dr. Edward “Chip” Malin, MD, FACS, is a Brockton-based, board-certified plastic surgeon providing aesthetic and reconstructive surgery for the breasts, body, face, and complex wounds. He practices with Signature Healthcare’s Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery program in Brockton and is also affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess healthcare locations in Plymouth and Boston. His clinical work combines cosmetic refinement with procedures designed to restore function, improve comfort, reconstruct damaged tissue, and support patients recovering from cancer, trauma, major weight loss, or complicated wounds. He is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Malin earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Notre Dame before receiving his medical degree from the George Washington University School of Medicine. He completed a General Surgery residency at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Virginia, followed by specialized residency training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery through the Harvard Plastic Surgery Combined Residency Program in Boston. He also completed advanced fellowship training in burn surgery and critical care at Brooke Army Medical Center and the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research in Fort Sam Houston, Texas. This multidisciplinary training provides a substantial foundation for managing both elective aesthetic procedures and medically complex reconstructive cases.
In addition to his clinical responsibilities, Dr. Malin holds the academic title of part-time Instructor in Surgery at Harvard Medical School. His professional background includes recognition for surgical education and patient care, including an Inova Fairfax Hospital Senior Surgical Resident Teaching Award and a Brigham and Women’s Hospital Partners in Excellence Award. His publicly listed professional affiliations include the American College of Surgeons and The Aesthetic Society. These academic, hospital, and professional connections reflect continued involvement in surgical education and evidence-informed plastic surgery.
Dr. Malin’s published clinical interests include breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast reconstruction, abdominoplasty, liposuction, body contouring, facelift surgery, neck lift, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, blepharoplasty, and complex wound reconstruction. The Brockton plastic-surgery program also addresses abdominal-wall reconstruction, difficult hernias, hand and upper-extremity conditions, head-and-neck reconstruction, limb salvage, skin-cancer reconstruction following Mohs surgery, and closure of wounds associated with trauma, surgery, pressure injuries, or hidradenitis. His burn and critical-care training is particularly relevant when treatment requires careful tissue management, wound closure, scar planning, and coordination with other medical or surgical specialists.
A central feature of the Signature Healthcare model is coordinated care. Plastic surgeons collaborate with dermatologists, cancer specialists, general surgeons, wound-care professionals, and other clinicians when a patient’s condition involves several areas of expertise. Treatment planning may consider anatomy, functional limitations, overall health, healing capacity, aesthetic goals, previous operations, and the likely recovery process. This approach is valuable for patients considering elective cosmetic improvement as well as those requiring reconstruction after cancer treatment, injury, skin-cancer removal, significant weight loss, or a difficult surgical complication.
Services associated with Dr. Malin’s clinical interests and affiliated plastic-surgery programs include breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast reconstruction, facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, ear surgery, tummy tuck, panniculectomy, liposuction, body contouring, labiaplasty, abdominal-wall reconstruction, complex hernia repair, complex wound closure, scar improvement, head-and-neck cancer reconstruction, skin-cancer reconstruction, hand surgery, nerve decompression, tendon and upper-extremity repair, skin grafting, reconstructive flaps, and limb-salvage procedures. His Brockton office serves patients from Brockton, Easton, West Bridgewater, Bridgewater, Abington, Whitman, Stoughton, Randolph, Avon, Holbrook, and surrounding South Shore communities.
