Mr. Chris Hoo is a highly skilled Consultant Plastic & Breast Surgeon based at Belfast City Hospital within the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust. With a strong background in both plastic and breast surgery, Mr. Hoo's practice primarily focuses on oncoplastic breast and reconstructive surgery.
After completing his medical degree, Mr Hoo initially trained in Plastic Surgery, followed by further specialisation in breast surgery which has become his sub-specialty interest. Hi's plastic surgery training took place in Northern Ireland, and he further honed his skills through fellowships in Newcastle and Liverpool.
One of Mr. Hoo's key areas of expertise lies in breast reconstruction, particularly in cases following breast cancer surgeries or congenital conditions resulting in unevenly sized or shaped breasts. He also offers a range of services in breast and body aesthetic surgery, including breast enlargement with implants or fat (augmentation), breast reduction, breast uplift (mastopexy), and aesthetic breast surgery. In addition, Mr. Hoo provides services such as "tummy tuck" (abdominoplasty), lipomodelling (involving liposuction and fat grafting/transfer), prominent ear surgery (pinnaplasty), eyelid surgery (blephroplasty), and reconstructive breast surgery, including correction of breast asymmetry and male breast enlargement (gynaecomastia).
His practice also extends to the treatment of skin lesions, including the removal of lesions or moles, with reconstruction using local tissue or skin grafts. For those seeking non-surgical aesthetic procedures, Mr. Hoo offers treatments like anti-wrinkle injections and filler injections.
In addition to his clinical work, Mr. Hoo has a keen interest in teaching and is actively involved in pre-medical, undergraduate medicine, and postgraduate/specialist training. He is a dedicated advocate for doctors' working conditions and is a member of various committees.

Mr. Hoo was very clear and helpful in describing the procedure and hopeful outcome for reshaping my breast after two cancer surgeries and radiotherapy. He was able to get it back to a more rounded shape and lift and reduce the other. I am very happy with the outcome and the treatment with Mr. Hoo and his team. I can wear normal bras again and wear fitted clothing without feeling paranoid.
As always Chris is very personable and makes me feel at ease. I’m very happy with the surgical journey I’ve taken under Chris Hoo’s care.
Dr Christopher Hoo was highly recommended to me by a lady who had a procedure done by him. And how right she was. He is an amazing surgeon and I am eternally grateful to him for looking after me so well . From the first consultation to my follow up appointment it was been such an easy process. He is very professional and pleasant and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
I had some complications post surgery and developed an infection. Dr Hoo saw me the same day. His treatment, advice and care are above and beyond what I expected.
Mr Hoo, was amazing from our first meeting, my surgery, and my final meeting. His nurse Pauline was also brilliant, they are a great team ! I have been recommending them to everyone! I got more that I had dream for ! I now have my confidence back & look amazing thanks to these two. I can't thank & recommend them enough. Thank you Christopher.
My journey with Mr hoo,was excellent. I was a cross boarder patient and would highly recommend anyone thinking of having a procedure done not to hesitate.
Mr Hoo is not only a fantastic surgeon but an absolute gentleman from my first visit to my last. I will be forever grateful for everything that he has done for me not only physically but mentally as well. Kind regards Sheila T.K.
I had done lot of research prior to my initial consultation, upon meeting Mr Hoo, I knew that Mr Hoo would be my surgeon of choice. Mr Hoo answered all of my questions, showed me before and after photos of previous surgeries and I felt reassured with my decision. I meet with Pauline (Mr Hoo’s nurse) who answered any further questions and discussed post operative restrictions etc with me. On the morning of the surgery, I met with Mr Hoo to answer any questions and complete markings. I was not nervous at all as I felt in very safe hands. Mr Hoo’s professionalism and caring nature was evident from the onset which I feel contributed to my calmness pre theatre. Mr Hoo came to see me post surgery and to answer any further questions. From my initial meeting I knew that I would be in safe hands, I would highly recommend Mr Hoo.
Took the time to explain everything pre and post surgery
