About Mr Christopher McDonald

Chris McDonald Personal Profile

Choosing the right surgeon for a condition of the face, mouth, or neck is one of the most important decisions you can make. I hope the combination of my background and the experiences of my patients — as reflected in my Doctify reviews — gives you confidence that you're in expert hands.

I am one of very few surgeons in Scotland with dual qualifications in both medicine and dentistry, giving me a uniquely comprehensive understanding of the entire facial structure. My advanced training was completed at the Liverpool Head and Neck Centre, and I have since built a consultant practice at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary spanning complex cancer reconstruction, facial trauma, and the correction of facial deformity in adults and children.

Alongside my NHS work, I offer a dedicated private practice at Albyn Hospital covering facial aesthetic surgery — including MyEllevate neck lifts, laser liposuction, fat transfer, and chin and jawline reshaping — as well as oral surgery for patients referred by their dentist.

A Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, I am regularly invited to teach and lecture on head and neck surgery across the UK and internationally.
