A range of exceptional cosmetic surgery practitioners are residents of Harley Street and they offer a range of treatments.

When seeking information on a cosmetic surgery procedure you should not be pressured into a decision. You should have the chance to talk to medical professionals and receive the very best advice and information. All the staffyou meet should be professionally trained and Nurses should be fully qualified and experienced in Cosmetic Surgery and show expertise, empathy and approachability.

The General Medical Council (GMC) Specialist Register lists all Surgeons in the UK, and those that specialise in Plastic Surgery. In Ireland, the Medical Council’s Specialist Register has a section on Plastic Surgeons who have to be qualified in both Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic Surgery procedures. In addition to being on the Specialist Register, Surgeons should hold the qualification Fellow of The Royal College of Surgeons, (FRCS) or equivalent from another European or Commonwealth countries.
