What is plastic surgery? 

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty focused on restoring, reconstructing or enhancing areas of the body.  

It includes both reconstructive procedures, which aim to improve function and appearance after injury or illness, and cosmetic procedures, which focus on enhancing appearance. 

Reconstructive surgery may be required following trauma, cancer treatment, or congenital conditions. Cosmetic surgery is often chosen to address concerns related to ageing, body shape or symmetry. 

At Albyn Hospital, all procedures are carefully assessed to ensure they are appropriate, safe and aligned with your individual goals. 

Making an informed decision about plastic surgery 

Plastic surgery is a personal decision that should be made carefully and without pressure. At Albyn Hospital, your care is based on honesty, transparency and realistic expectations. 

Your surgeon will only recommend surgery when it is appropriate and likely to provide meaningful benefit. If alternative treatments are more suitable, these will be discussed openly. 

This approach ensures you feel confident and informed throughout your journey. 

 

How much does plastic surgery cost at Albyn Hospital, Aberdeen? 

The cost of private plastic surgery depends on the type of procedure, its complexity and the level of care required. You can choose to fund your treatment through self-pay (paying for yourself) or use private health insurance.  

If you are paying for yourself, our flexible payment options help you spread the cost of your payment across a time period that suits you. We offer fixed-term monthly payment plans over one to five years with no deposit required. If you decide to pay over 10 months, you will pay interest-free. If you are paying for a longer period, you will pay 9.9% APR. 

You will receive clear and transparent pricing before making any decisions, so you understand exactly what is included in your care. 

If you have private health insurance, we work with most major providers, and our friendly advisory team can help guide you through using your cover. Cosmetic procedures are rarely covered by medical insurance, but reconstructive or functional plastic surgery may be. 

 

What plastic surgery procedures are available at Albyn Hospital? 

At Albyn Hospital, a wide range of plastic surgery procedures are available to support medical and reconstructive needs while maintaining the best possible cosmetic outcome. Every treatment is tailored to you, with your consultant carefully assessing your concerns, anatomy and desired outcomes before recommending the most appropriate approach. 

Plastic surgery focuses on reconstructive procedures, which aim to restore function and appearance.  Reconstructive surgery is often recommended when there is a medical need to restore function or improve appearance following illness, injury or congenital conditions. 

Common reconstructive procedures include: 

  • Skin lesion removal and reconstruction - Used to remove benign or cancerous skin lesions and restore the surrounding tissue with minimal scarring 
  • Breast reconstruction surgery - Often performed following mastectomy, this procedure rebuilds the shape and appearance of the breast using implants or your own tissue 
  • Scar revision surgery - Designed to improve the appearance or function of scars that may be raised, tight or restrictive 
  • Post-traumatic reconstruction - Helps restore areas affected by injury, including facial injuries or soft tissue damage 

These procedures focus on improving both function and appearance, helping you regain comfort, mobility, and confidence. 

At Albyn Hospital, all procedures are performed by experienced consultant plastic surgeons in a regulated hospital setting, ensuring a high standard of care, safety and long-term results. 

 

Does plastic surgery use plastic? 

Plastic surgery does not usually involve the use of plastic materials. The term comes from the Greek word ‘plastikos’, meaning to shape or mould. 

Most procedures involve reshaping your own tissues, such as skin, fat and muscle. In some cases, medical-grade implants may be used, depending on the treatment. 

Your surgeon will explain all techniques and materials clearly during your consultation, so you fully understand your procedure. 

 

What happens during a plastic surgery consultation? 

Your consultation is a key part of your treatment journey and is designed to give your consultant a full understanding of both your physical concerns and how they affect your day-to-day life. This is an opportunity to speak openly about what has led you to consider surgery, your expectations and the outcomes you hope to achieve, all within a confidential and supportive environment. 

Your consultant will take time to explore how your condition or concern impacts you personally. This may include how it affects your confidence, comfort, clothing choices, physical function or overall quality of life. Understanding this broader picture helps ensure that any recommended treatment is appropriate, meaningful and aligned with your goals. 

During the consultation, your consultant will also review your medical history, assess your general health, and carry out a physical examination of the area involved. This allows them to determine whether surgery is suitable and to plan the safest and most effective approach. 

You will be guided through the potential benefits, limitations and risks of surgery, as well as any alternative treatments that may be available. Your consultant will explain what can realistically be achieved and ensure your expectations are clear and achievable. 

Importantly, you will have plenty of time to ask questions and reflect on your options. There is no pressure to proceed, and the focus is on helping you make a confident, informed decision that feels right for you. 

 

Your recovery and aftercare following plastic surgery 

Recovery varies depending on the procedure performed, but all patients receive clear aftercare guidance to support healing. 

You may experience swelling, bruising or discomfort in the early stages, which will gradually improve. Your surgeon will advise on activity levels, wound care and when you can return to normal routines. 

Follow-up appointments are arranged to monitor your progress and ensure the best possible outcome. 

What results can you expect from plastic surgery? 

The results of plastic surgery depend on your procedure, your anatomy and your individual goals. Many patients experience improvements in appearance, function, comfort and confidence following treatment. 

While results can be long-lasting, they may be influenced by factors such as ageing, lifestyle and weight changes. Your surgeon will explain what you can realistically expect and how to maintain your results over time. 

A key part of successful outcomes is ensuring your expectations are aligned with what surgery can achieve.
