Although the terms are often used interchangeably, cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery are not the same.

Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery focuses on reconstructing, restoring or improving form and function. It is often performed to treat conditions caused by injury, illness, burns, cancer treatment, congenital conditions or previous surgery. The aim is to restore appearance while also improving function and quality of life.

Common plastic surgery procedures include:

  • Scar revision
  • Skin cancer reconstruction
  • Breast reconstruction
  • Hand surgery
  • Reconstructive facial surgery

Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery is performed to enhance or reshape areas of the body for aesthetic reasons. These procedures are usually chosen by patients who wish to improve their appearance, confidence or body proportions.

Common cosmetic surgery procedures include:

  • Breast augmentation and breast reduction
  • Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
  • Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
  • Facelift surgery
  • Body contouring procedures

Choosing plastic surgery is a personal decision, and patients should feel informed and confident every step of the way. At Albyn Hospital, care is built on honesty, transparency and realistic expectations.

Experienced consultant plastic surgeons take the time to understand each patient's goals and will only recommend surgery when it is the most appropriate option. If a non-surgical or alternative treatment may be more suitable, this will be discussed openly.

Treatments offered include: 

  • Skin lesion removal and reconstruction – restoring the appearance of the skin following the removal of benign or cancerous lesions.
  • Breast reconstruction surgery – rebuilding the shape and appearance of the breast following mastectomy or breast cancer treatment.
  • Scar revision surgery – improving the appearance, comfort or movement affected by prominent scars.
  • Post-traumatic reconstruction – restoring areas affected by injury, including facial trauma and soft tissue damage.

A consultation is an important step in your treatment journey. It gives your consultant the opportunity to understand your concerns, discuss your goals, and explore how your condition is affecting your everyday life.

During your appointment, your consultant will talk through your symptoms, medical history, and expectations for treatment. They will also carry out a physical examination and assess your overall health to determine whether surgery or another treatment option is right for you.

Together, you’ll discuss the potential benefits, risks, and limitations of treatment, as well as any suitable alternatives. Your consultant will explain what results can realistically be achieved, helping you make an informed decision with confidence.

There is plenty of time to ask questions and talk through any concerns. The consultation is designed to be supportive, informative, and completely tailored to your individual needs, with no pressure to proceed with treatment.

When you choose to go private at Albyn Hospital, you can expect:  

  • Flexible appointment times to fit your schedule 
  • Bespoke, consultant-led treatment plans tailored to your individual needs  
  • Support from the same compassionate clinical team from beginning to end  
  • Affordable, fixed-price surgical packages with aftercare included  
  • Flexible payment options to help spread the cost of your care 

The cost of private plastic surgery at Albyn Hospital varies depending on the procedure and the level of care required. Patients can choose to pay for treatment themselves or use private medical insurance, where applicable.

For self-pay patients, a range of flexible finance options is available, including monthly payment plans from one to five years. Interest-free finance is available over 10 months, with longer-term plans offered. 

Patients receive a clear, personalised quotation before committing to treatment, ensuring complete transparency about the costs involved.

Albyn Hospital works with most major private health insurers and can help patients understand their cover. While cosmetic surgery is not usually covered by insurance, some reconstructive and medically necessary plastic surgery procedures may be eligible.
