Plastic and reconstructive surgery, which includes cosmetic surgery, is one of the major surgical disciplines at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust.

At the heart of the service is dedication and commitment to continuous improvement while embracing the latest advances and technologies. It is one of the UK’s leading and largest plastic-surgery units. Through its links with University College London Medical School, it is also a major teaching and research centre, particularly in the field of tissue engineering and stem cells.

The department has a team of consultants who undertake general plastic surgery procedures. Each consultant has specialist interests such as facial reanimation, ear reconstruction and complex microsurgical breast reconstruction (such as DIEP) as well as novel minimally invasive restoration of appearance technology with the help of stem cells.

We are a national centre of excellence for facial reanimation surgery, ear reconstruction and breast reconstruction. Consultants are involved in multidisciplinary treatments of skin cancers, sarcomas, breast cancer as well as major abdominal wall reconstruction. A comprehensive selection of procedures to improve aesthetic appearance is also offered, such as minimal-scar facelift and total body contouring.

Consultations

For us, the consultation is a key part of the patient journey. We are committed to ensuring all patients feel fully informed about their treatment options and any associated risks, and supporting you in making the right decision for you.

After care

Most of our procedures are carried out on a day-case basis, meaning you’ll be able to go home shortly afterwards – but aftercare is still very important. We will ensure your needs and comfort are well taken care of during your time in hospital, and that you are fully equipped with all the advice and information you need when you go home.
