About Mr Christian West
Chris West Personal Profile
Mr West has been specialising in plastic surgery for more than 20 years, and feels very fortunate to perform procedures that can make such a positive impact on people’s lives.
He has had a breadth of experience that has ranged from simple removal of unsightly moles or eyebags, to putting people back together after shark bites. So whatever treatment you may be looking for, his field of expertise encompasses all aspects of cosmetic surgery, and he hopes to provide you with experienced advice on any cosmetic procedure of the face, body and breasts (including breast augmentation).
He specialised in Cosmetic Surgery with a National Interface Fellowship in Reconstructive Cosmetic Surgery. He worked closely with plastic surgeons, ENT, maxillofacial surgeons and ophthalmologists, which enables him to provide you with a combined experience in all aspects of cosmetic breast, body, eyelid, ear and facial surgery. Mr West is certified in Cosmetic Surgery with The Royal College of Surgeons of England.
Mr West is a fully accredited Consultant Plastic Surgeon with an NHS practice based at Whiston Hospital, the largest plastic surgery centre in the North West. His specialist NHS service is focused on the correction of breast asymmetry and deformity, hand injuries, complex limb reconstruction, and facial reconstruction for skin cancer. He is the Plastic Surgery Lead for the largest Abdominal Wall Reconstruction Centre in the UK, specialising in tummy tuck and scar revision for the cosmetic repair of diastasis recti and problematic hernias.
He is also of the new generation of certified hand specialists with cross-specialty expertise in both orthopaedic aspects (bone and joints) and plastic surgery aspects (nerves, tendons, skin and soft tissues) of hand and arm disorders. He studied in the world-renowned Pulvertaft Hand Centre and was awarded British Diploma in Hand Surgery. Mr West is experienced in treating the whole spectrum of hand conditions and injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren's contracture, trigger finger, ganglions and arthritis of the hand, as well as more complex, less common hand problems.
He studied Medicine at The University of Leeds (1998) and trained locally in Manchester and Leeds, and then internationally in Perth, Australia. In 2011, he was awarded Fellowship of The Royal College of Surgeons in Plastic Surgery, and is on the GMC Specialist Register as a Plastic Surgeon. Mr West has a post-graduate degree (MD, University of Manchester) for a two-year period of medical research he undertook in Sweden, looking at reconstruction after peripheral nerve injury.
He hopes to see you in his clinic soon, as you prepare to make a change for the better.
