What types of plastic surgery are available at The Runnymede Hospital in Surrey?

At The Runnymede Hospital, a wide range of plastic surgery procedures are available to support medical and reconstructive needs while maintaining the best possible cosmetic outcome. Every treatment is tailored to you, with your consultant carefully assessing your concerns, anatomy and desired outcomes before recommending the most appropriate approach.  
 
Plastic surgery focuses on reconstructive procedures, which aim to restore function and appearance. Reconstructive surgery is often recommended when there is a medical need to restore function or improve appearance following illness, injury or congenital conditions.  

Common reconstructive procedures include:

• Skin lesion removal and reconstruction - Used to remove benign or cancerous skin lesions and restore the surrounding tissue with minimal scarring  
• Breast reconstruction surgery - Often performed following mastectomy, this procedure rebuilds the shape and appearance of the breast using implants or your own tissue  
• Scar revision surgery - Designed to improve the appearance or function of scars that may be raised, tight or restrictive  
• Post-traumatic reconstruction - Helps restore areas affected by injury, including facial injuries or soft tissue damage  

These procedures focus on improving both function and appearance, helping you regain comfort, mobility, and confidence.  
 
At The Runnymede Hospital, all procedures are performed by experienced consultant plastic surgeons in a regulated hospital setting, ensuring a high standard of care, safety and long-term results.  

What happens during plastic surgery? 

Depending on the type of plastic surgery you have, this will have either general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation. 

Your consultant surgeon will carry out the procedure using techniques designed to achieve the best possible outcome while minimising disruption to the surrounding tissues. The length of surgery varies depending on the complexity of the treatment. The most common surgical techniques used by plastic surgeons include: 

Skin grafts 

A skin graft is an area of healthy skin that's moved from one part of your body to another, replacing lost or damaged skin. Often the graft will be taken from an area that heals well, such as your thigh or buttocks. 

Skin flap surgery 

This is where your surgeon takes healthy skin, along with its blood vessels, and transfers it to another area without fully detaching it from your body at any point. 

Tissue expansion 

This is when areas of healthy tissue are stretched to encourage your body to grow extra skin that can then be used to reconstruct a damaged area. 

Fat transfer 

If you have uneven or missing areas of fat, a fat transfer can correct them by moving fat from another area of the body to 'fill in' the uneven area. 

After your procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery room before returning to your private room. You will receive tailored guidance on immediate aftercare and what to expect in the early stages of your recovery. 

How long is recovery after plastic surgery? 

Recovery after plastic surgery varies depending on the procedure and your individual healing process. 

In the early stages, it is common to experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. These symptoms typically improve over time as your body heals. 

Your consultant will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your procedure. This includes 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 promptly. 

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 function 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.
