What is plastic surgery?

Plastic surgery is a specialised field of medicine focused on altering, restoring, or reconstructing parts of your body. 

It includes both cosmetic procedures, which aim to enhance your appearance, and reconstructive procedures, which restore function to a part of your body, or correct abnormalities. 

Cosmetic surgery may address concerns such as body shape, facial features, or visible signs of ageing. Reconstructive surgery may be required following trauma, cancer treatment, burns, or congenital conditions (conditions present at birth). 

This page focuses on plastic and reconstructive surgery, and we also have a page dedicated to our cosmetic surgery service

At The Duchy Hospital, plastic surgery is approached with careful assessment and realistic goal setting, ensuring outcomes that look natural and support your overall wellbeing.

Your initial consultation at The Duchy Hospital

Your treatment journey begins with a detailed consultation, giving you the opportunity to discuss your concerns openly and explore whether surgery is right for you.

During this appointment, your consultant will assess the area you are considering, review your medical history and talk through your goals and expectations. This helps build a clear understanding of what you would like to achieve and whether it can be done safely and effectively.

You will receive a clear explanation of the recommended procedure, including how it is carried out, what recovery involves and what results you can realistically expect. Where appropriate, non-surgical alternatives may also be discussed.

The consultation is designed to give you the information you need to make a confident, informed decision without pressure.

What happens during plastic surgery?

Depending on the procedure, surgery may be performed under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation.

Your consultant will carry out the procedure using techniques designed to achieve the best possible outcome while minimising impact on surrounding tissue. The length of surgery varies depending on complexity. Common techniques include:

Skin grafts

A skin graft involves taking healthy skin from one part of your body and transferring it to another area to replace damaged or missing skin.

Skin flap surgery

This technique moves healthy skin along with its blood supply to another area, helping maintain tissue viability.

Tissue expansion

This method gradually stretches healthy tissue to encourage the growth of additional skin for reconstruction.

Fat transfer

Fat transfer involves moving fat from one part of your body to another to restore volume or improve contour.

After your procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery area before returning to your private room. You will receive personalised aftercare guidance to support your recovery.

How long is recovery after plastic surgery?

Recovery times vary depending on the procedure and your individual healing process.

In the early stages, it is common to experience swelling, bruising and mild discomfort, which gradually improves as your body heals.

Your consultant will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including guidance on wound care, activity levels and when you can return to work or exercise.

Follow-up appointments are an important part of your recovery, allowing your progress to be monitored and any concerns to be addressed.

What results can you expect from plastic surgery?

Plastic surgery can provide long-lasting improvements when carefully planned and carried out with realistic expectations. Results will vary depending on the procedure, your anatomy, and how your body heals. The aim is to enhance or restore your physical form while maintaining a natural appearance.

Your consultant will discuss expected outcomes in detail before, helping you understand what can be achieved and how to support your results over time. Many people experience a significant improvement in their overall confidence and physical and emotional wellbeing following plastic surgery.
