Plastic surgery

Our specialist surgeons repair and reconstruct missing or damaged tissue and skin. Our aim is to restore the function and appearance of tissue and skin so it’s as close to normal as possible.

Plastic surgery focuses on:

• trauma
• complex lower limb trauma
• helping other specialities manage complex wounds
• reconstruction and closure of complex wounds

Plastic surgery can often help improve a person’s self-esteem, confidence and overall quality of life.
