Plastic surgery is a medical specialty that includes both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.
Procedures may involve reshaping tissue, removing excess skin, or restoring damaged areas.
Consultant plastic surgeons undergo extensive specialist training to ensure procedures are performed safely and effectively.
Plastic surgery is performed by a consultant plastic surgeon with specialist training in both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.
They are supported by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare specialists including anaesthetists and nursing staff, ensuring high standards of care throughout your treatment.
The cost of private plastic surgery depends on the type of procedure, its complexity, anaesthetic requirements and whether an overnight stay is needed.
You can choose to fund your treatment through self-pay (paying for yourself) or use private health insurance. We work with most major providers, and our friendly advisory team can help guide you through using your cover.
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.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery encompasses a wide variety of treatments and surgical techniques that repair or reconstruct damaged tissue and skin. Some of the most common reasons people have plastic surgery are:
Common examples of conditions that cause abnormalities from birth include cleft lips and palates, deformities to the hands or limbs, and significant birth marks. All of these can be treated with plastic surgery, whether in childhood or as an adult.
Burns that affect a large area of the body can be very serious. They can affect self-esteem and social confidence, but they can also cause pain and tightness, and even restricted movement. Plastic surgery for burns aims to reduce these difficulties.
Much like burns, significant scars can affect self-esteem and confidence, and can cause tightness and discomfort in the affected area. Scar repair surgery can reduce these issues.
Severe injuries from an accident or sport can cause damaged tissue or a loss of healthy tissue. Reconstructive surgery after trauma can help restore healthy tissue.
Deformities, unevenness and scarring can all happen as a result of surgery to remove cancerous tissues. Some people decide to have this repaired with surgery.
Your consultation is an essential part of your treatment journey. It provides the opportunity to discuss your goals, and concerns and expectations in a confidential and supportive setting.
Your consultant will take the time to understand how your condition or concerns affect your daily life, confidence, and physical comfort. This helps ensure that any recommended treatment is meaningful and appropriate for you.
A full medical history will be taken, and a physical examination will be carried out. Your surgeon will explain what can realistically be achieved, along with potential risks, benefits, and recovery expectations.
There is no pressure to proceed with surgery if you decide you do not want to. The aim is to help you feel fully informed and confident in your decision.
Plastic surgery is carefully planned and carried out with a strong focus on your safety, precision, and achieving natural-looking results. While the exact steps vary depending on the procedure, there are common practices that most surgeries follow.
On the day of your procedure, you will be admitted to the hospital and welcomed by your healthcare team. You will have time to ask any final questions. You will also meet the anaesthetist, who will explain how your comfort and safety will be managed throughout.
Once you are prepared, you will be taken to the operating theatre. Depending on the type of surgery you have, you might receive a local anaesthetic, sedation, or general anaesthetic. Your consultant will have discussed the most appropriate option for you in advance.
During the procedure, your surgeon will follow a carefully planned approach tailored to your anatomy and goals. This may involve:
The length of the surgery varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, ranging from under an hour for minor treatments to several hours for more extensive operations.
Once the procedure is complete, the incisions are carefully closed using fine sutures, and dressings or compression garments may be applied to support your healing. You will then be taken to a recovery area, where you will be monitored as the anaesthetic wears off.
Depending on the type of surgery, you may return home the same day or stay overnight for observation. Before discharge, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions, including how to care for the surgical site, manage discomfort, and recognise any signs that may require medical attention.
Your healthcare team will also arrange your follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure the best possible outcome, supporting you throughout your recovery journey.
Recovery varies depending on the type of procedure, but all patients receive clear aftercare guidance and ongoing support following surgery.
In the early stages after surgery, it is normal to experience some swelling, bruising or discomfort. These symptoms usually improve gradually over time. You may be advised to rest, limit physical activity, and follow specific wound care instructions.
Many patients return to light activities within a few weeks, although more extensive procedures may require longer recovery. The results of surgery continue to develop as healing progresses.
Follow-up appointments are arranged to monitor your recovery and ensure the best possible outcome.
Despite its name, plastic surgery does not involve the use of plastic materials. The term comes from the Greek word plastikos, meaning to mould or shape.
Plastic surgery focuses on reshaping the body’s own tissues. In some procedures, medical-grade implants may be used, but these are designed specifically for safe use within the body.
Your surgeon will explain exactly what your procedure involves.
Plastic surgery is considered very safe when performed by an experienced consultant in a regulated hospital setting.
As with any procedure, there are risks, including infection, bleeding or scarring. At Bath Clinic, careful assessment, modern techniques, and structured aftercare help minimise these risks.
Your consultant will discuss all potential risks and benefits clearly before you decide to have surgery.
