Plastic surgery is a specialist area of medicine that focuses on reshaping or reconstructing the body. It is often divided into two categories. Reconstructive surgery is carried out to restore form and function after injury, illness, or congenital conditions. For example, repairing scars, correcting birth defects, or rebuilding the breast following mastectomy. Cosmetic, or aesthetic, surgery is performed to enhance or refine appearance, with procedures such as facelifts, breast augmentation, or tummy tucks. This page focuses on plastic and reconstructive surgery, but we also offer cosmetic surgery at The Priory Hospital.
Plastic surgery combines advanced surgical skill with an artistic eye for balance and proportion. At The Priory Hospital, our consultants take time to understand your goals, explain your options clearly, and recommend the most appropriate approach for you.
The cost of plastic surgery varies depending on the type of procedure, its complexity, and whether multiple treatments are carried out at the same time. For example, a simple mole or skin lesion removal may start from a few hundred pounds, while more complex operations like breast surgery or trauma reconstruction surgery involve higher fees.
At Circle Health Group, we are committed to transparent pricing. You will always receive a clear breakdown of costs in advance, including consultant and anaesthetist fees, hospital and theatre charges, and all follow-up appointments. Private medical insurance sometimes covers reconstructive plastic surgery, such as procedures following trauma or cancer surgery, but usually does not cover cosmetic treatments. If you are self-funding, flexible payment plans are available to make treatment more accessible.
The name 'plastic surgery' does not mean that plastic materials are used in the operations. Instead, the word comes from the Greek plastikos, meaning 'to shape’ or ‘to mould’. Plastic surgery is concerned with reshaping tissues of the body, whether that involves skin, fat, or deeper structures.
While some procedures may involve the use of implants, such as silicone breast implants, the specialty itself refers to the skill of reshaping, not the materials used.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery encompasses a wide variety of treatments and surgical techniques that repair or reconstruct damaged tissue and skin. The Priory Hospital provides a comprehensive range of plastic surgery procedures, carried out by consultants with extensive expertise. Our surgeons are experts in both cosmetic and reconstructive operations.
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.
Not all plastic surgery involves major operations. Many people come to The Priory Hospital for smaller skin procedures that can make a big difference to confidence. This includes mole and cyst removal, scar revision to reduce the appearance of old marks, and skin cancer excision with reconstruction.
