If you are considering cosmetic surgery and would like to speak to an experienced specialist about whether it's the right choice for you, our surgeons are ready and waiting to help you. We have a wide network of consultant cosmetic surgeons across our 50+ private hospitals in the UK, so you're never far from one of our experts.
Some of the procedures we perform most often, for both men and women, include breast reduction or breast augmentation, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), rhinoplasty (nose job), and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).
When you choose private treatment with Circle Health Group, you'll benefit from consultant-led treatment from start to finish, supported by a dedicated multidisciplinary team. We develop a bespoke care plan for every patient, and we are committed to clinical excellence as well as personal and compassionate care.
Before deciding on any cosmetic procedure, it's important to speak to a specialist. Private cosmetic surgery can boost your self-confidence and self-esteem, but it is not always the right choice. Book online for a consultation with one of our cosmetic surgeons near you, and they'll help you decide whether surgery could help you.
Cosmetic surgery covers any surgical procedures that are used to change your appearance. Cosmetic surgery includes aesthetic and elective treatments that can improve your quality of life as well as making you feel better about how you look.
Our experienced consultant cosmetic surgeons offer a wide variety of treatments that may be chosen for various reasons that won't be purely aesthetic. For example, a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is used to remove excess skin, often after pregnancy or weight loss, which can cause discomfort and restrict movement. Rhinoplasty (a nose job) can widen the nasal passages, allowing you to breathe more freely.
At Circle Health Group, your treatment will be led from start to finish by a talented consultant surgeon who will always take your personal needs and circumstances into account when considering your treatment options. They will provide you with all the information your need about the procedure you are interested in, including what to expect after surgery and any risks involved. Together, you'll make an informed decision on whether cosmetic surgery can enhance your life.
What is the difference between plastic and cosmetic surgery?
Plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery are differing specialities that can both involve changing the body's appearance or function. Whereas cosmetic surgery is primarily carried out to change a person's appearance, the aim of plastic surgery is to restore and repair both function and appearance.
Plastic surgery is often used to repair or reconstruct damaged tissue and skin. Cosmetic surgery is more often used to enhance or improve.
It's unusual for cosmetic procedures to be covered by private health insurance, so in most cases our patients pay for treatment themselves.
When you are paying for your own treatment, you can pay in full or you can take advantage of our flexible payment options, which allow you to spread the cost over a period of up to five years - with interest free options available.
The cost of cosmetic surgery will depend on various factors, including the specific procedure you are having, the hospital you pick, and which surgeon you choose.
Below are some common types of cosmetic treatment along with some of the reasons people elect to have them.
Surgery to reduce the signs of ageing
Ageing is a natural process. As you become older, the fat in your skin can lose volume and move downwards. The skin on your face can also become loose and start to sag. It can cause deep folds around your nose, mouth and neck. Many people are uncomfortable with the visual changes that ageing can bring, and for some it can significantly impact self-esteem. For others, loose skin can cause physical discomfort or difficulties, especially in the area around the eyes.
Surgery to remove loose skin on your stomach
Excess skin on your stomach is common after pregnancy or significant weight loss. You might want to regain confidence through loose skin surgery, or you may choose to have a procedure to reduce discomfort or because your movement is impeded.
Breast enlargement surgery
If you feel unhappy about the shape or size of your breasts, a breast enlargement could help boost your self-esteem. But it's important to speak to a specialist about your expectations regarding the results and risks involved.
Nose reshaping
Breathing issues, feeling dissatisfied about the appearance of your nose, or an unsuccessful nose job, are all reasons why you might want to change the shape of your nose. Again, it's crucial to speak to a specialist to ensure your expectations are realistic.
Our cosmetic surgeons offer a wide variety of surgical procedures, and these are just some of the most common. If you don't see the procedure you are interested in listed on this page, give us a call directly to find out if we can help you.
Facelift
During a facelift, your surgeon will make incisions from the top of your hairline to the front of your ear. If your chin is being lifted, your surgeon will also make incisions under your skin. Excess skin is then removed from your face, and your skin is then pulled upwards and stitched into place. Your surgeon may redistribute the fat and tissue in your face.
Abdominoplasty
An abdominoplasty usually involves removing excess skin and fat from your stomach, and tightening your stomach muscles. This can help improve the appearance of your stomach.
Breast enlargement surgery
Breast augmentation surgery, more commonly called a boob job or breast enlargement, is an operation to add silicone or saline implants into your natural breasts to make them larger and enhance their shape.
Breast reduction surgery
Breast reduction surgery is a procedure to make your breasts smaller, and often will make them more lifted also. It is usually performed to improve the appearance of your breasts, instead of for health reasons, but it can help significantly reduce back problems.
Rhinoplasty (nose job)
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a common surgical procedure to reshape your nose. You might wish to make it smaller, larger or straighter, or you may wish to breathe more easily through your nostrils.
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from around your eyelids. It is usually done for cosmetic reasons, for example to get rid of wrinkles or sagging skin that you don't like the look of. However some people choose to have blepharoplasty for more practical visions, for example if loose skin around their eyes is affecting their vision.
