He was 86… New York magazine once referred to Dr. Rees as 'one of the fathers of aesthetic surgery in New York,' and he is credited with helping to elevate cosmetic surgery from something one did not really discuss to almost a status symbol…" From the American Association of Plastic Surgeons website: "Dr. Thomas D. Rees, 86, a giant in our great specialty of plastic surgery, died in the early evening of November 14, 2013 at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His legacy will live on in the countless number of surgeons and patients he helped by sharing his knowledge and experience, and equally important to him, Flying Doctors of East Africa and the African Medical Research Foundation, which he founded along with Sir Archibald McIndoe and Dr. Michael Wood. Dr. Rees trained in general surgery and plastic surgery at Genesee Hospital in Rochester, New York followed by New York Hospital Cornell Medical Center on New York's Upper East Side. Upon finishing his plastic surgery residency, Dr. Rees was granted a Marks Plastic Surgery Fellowship at Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, Sussex England under the tutelage of Sir Archibald McIndoe… Dr. Rees was the Chairman of the Department of Plastic Surgery at Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital from 1975 to 1992. Under Dr. Rees' direction, the MEETH Plastic Surgery Department and Aesthetic Surgery Fellowship, which he began, became one of the leading aesthetic surgery services in the world.
