Plastic surgery is used to repair and reconstruct missing or damaged tissue and skin.
The main aim of plastic surgery is to restore the function and appearance of tissue and skin so it's as close to normal as possible.
Plastic surgery is different from cosmetic surgery, which is surgery carried out solely to change a person's appearance to achieve what they feel is a more desirable look.
Our plastic surgery team can help with:
- Breast reconstruction
- Skin cancer and melanoma services
- Specialised hand clinics
- Specialist dressing clinics
- Management of upper and lower limb trauma
- Paediatric surgery.
Emergency care: If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please continue to call 999 as normal.
Hospital appointments: Patients should continue to attend planned appointments unless contacted directly by their care team.
Non-emergency care: If you need urgent medical advice but it is not a life-threatening emergency, please continue to use NHS 111.
Contacting our services: Some email communications and online services may be affected. If your enquiry is urgent, please contact the relevant service by telephone rather than email where possible.
