Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery has two main parts: reconstructive plastic surgery, which means carrying out an operation to improve the appearance and function to the body following illness or an accident. Whilst aesthetic and cosmetic plastic surgery is changing the appearance of your body through choice.

We provide reconstructive plastic surgery for patients who have birth defects, diseases and injuries. Cosmetic surgery is generally not provided in the NHS.
