About Mr Alexander Armstrong
Dr Alexander Armstrong is a highly experienced Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgeon based at University Hospital Plymouth NHS Trust. With over a decade of clinical practice, he specialises in complex upper limb surgery for both adults and children, working closely with orthopaedic teams to deliver advanced limb reconstruction at a Major Trauma Centre.
His practice includes a strong focus on paediatric conditions such as limb differences, hypospadias, and vascular anomalies, shaped by a dedicated subspecialty fellowship at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Dr Armstrong has trained across leading UK plastic surgery centres and internationally in Australia and the USA, as well as participating in a charitable surgical mission to Cambodia.
Beyond surgery, Dr Armstrong has a keen interest in healthcare quality and patient safety. In 2016, he worked alongside national leaders in NHS England, contributing to regulatory oversight and inspection of healthcare services. He continues to advise the Care Quality Commission as a Specialist Advisor.
A founding member and trustee of the Cosmetic Practice Standards Authority, Alex played a key role in developing national standards for non-surgical cosmetic procedures, launched in the House of Lords in 2018. His approach balances surgical expertise with a commitment to safety, innovation, and compassionate care.

Mr Armstrong is a consummate professional. He has a very friendly but sensitive approach that met my needs during a recent breast augmentation procedure. I’ve been very happy with his skill as a surgeon and also the level of care received. I would recommend Mr Armstrong for any procedure and would certainly use him again in the future 😊 Thank you so much - CB
Mr Armstrong is an outstanding surgeon. The breast reduction he performed on me was a significant reduction and complicated by one side being subject to a previous lumpectomy and radiotherapy. The result achieved has been excellent and even better than I had anticipated. He has been attentive and supportive through my healing journey. I feel very fortunate to have had my surgery carried out by such a talented surgeon and all round lovely man. Cannot recommend him more highly.
I had a fantastic experience with Mr Alex Armstrong, he talked me through the procedures completely and I am over the moon so far with the results
lovely experience, dr Armstrong was very friendly and helpful, did a great job with my procedure, i don't even have a scar or mark where he removed the lesion on my eyelid. The nurses were so lovely too, pleasant experience
Dr Armstrong was amazing I cannot thank him enough for giving back my confidence. I had upper blepharoplasty October 2025 and the results are beyond what I expected.
