Plastic surgery is used to repair or reconstruct damaged tissue and skin. It aims to restore the function and the appearance of the damaged or deformed area.
Plastic surgery can be used to treat issues that you are born with, for example a cleft palate or webbed fingers. It can be used to treat scars and burns or other significant injuries. And you might also have plastic surgery if you have had to have surgery to remove a tumour or cancerous tissue.
Plastic surgery is different from cosmetic surgery, which is concerned with achieving a desired appearance. Plastic surgery is primarily concerned with restoring and preserving function, though improved appearance is often an added benefitMany of our plastic surgeons are also cosmetic surgeons, meaning they can have a dual focus, correcting and reconstructing while at the same time achieving the best possible cosmetic outcome.
Plastic surgery combines art and science — requiring surgical precision, medical expertise, and aesthetic judgement. Procedures may involve reshaping tissue, grafting skin, or sculpting structures beneath the surface to achieve a more harmonious look.
Plastic surgeons undergo years of training in both microsurgery and aesthetic technique, allowing them to perform delicate operations that restore form and function while preserving natural results.
At The London Independent Hospital, you’ll receive a detailed consultation with an expert consultant plastic surgeon who will listen carefully to your goals, discuss your options, and help you make an informed decision about your treatment.
Despite its name, plastic surgery does not involve the use of plastic materials. The word ‘plastic’ comes from the Greek plastikos, meaning ‘to mould' or 'to shape’.
The term reflects the surgeon’s ability to reshape or reconstruct tissue, rather than the materials used. Plastic surgeons work with a patient’s own tissue – skin, fat, cartilage and muscle – and occasionally use biocompatible implants (such as silicone or titanium) to support structure or enhance shape.
The cost of plastic surgery varies depending on the procedure, complexity, anaesthetic requirements, and whether an overnight stay is required.
If you have private health insurance, reconstructive surgery may be covered by your policy, so you should speak to your provider directly.
