About Mr Simon Eccles

Mr Simon Eccles is a Consultant Plastic and Craniofacial Surgeon based in London, distinguished by his dual qualification in both dentistry and medicine. This unique background provided a foundation for his expertise in complex head, neck and facial reconstruction. After earning his dental degree from The Royal London Hospital in 1985, he later qualified as a doctor from Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School. He was awarded the McGregor Medal by the Royal College of Surgeons for his performance in the FRCS (Plast) examination.

Throughout his career, Mr Eccles has held several leadership roles, including serving as the Head of Professional Standards for the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS). He is currently a member of the craniofacial team at Great Ormond Street Hospital, where he manages complex congenital conditions in children. He also works with the charity Facing the World and has completed more than 12 missions to Vietnam, where he has helped train local plastic surgeons and provide surgical treatment for children. His approach considers the wider medical needs of each patient, and he also contributes to the teaching and training of future plastic surgeons.

Simon Eccles made me feel immediately at ease. He communicated very clearly but gently about what could be done for me and subsequently how it would be done. I felt he was very professional and knew exactly what he was doing. I had a clear understanding of what would take place and after seeing some pictures of a previous patient with a similar shaped face at the same stage as me before surgery my expectations were verified with an after picture. I felt no hesitation about booking in that day for my procedure.

Mr Eccles explained everything really clearly - the whole process was very quick and easy. He did a very neat job removing a skin lesion and ensuring that the scar is hardly visible. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

After my diagnosis in Jersey of a cancerous bcc, I was very apprehensive about the treatments to follow. However after my first meeting with Mr. Eccles I felt very at ease and very confident that I was in expert hands. The travel involved was stressful but Mr Eccles and his team always made me feel very welcome and at ease allowing me to ask any question about my treatment however small. I would highly recommend Mr. Eccles to any other person facing similar treatment. Not only were the treatments and results excellent but the post op care has assured me that I could approach Mr. Eccles should any problems arise in the future. .Thank you

Mr Eccles is very approachable and explains in an understandable manner the procedures to be undertaken. He appears to take great pride in his work and treats his patients as individuals and not just another body. He does not rush and inspires confidence. He also has a great team working with him who appear to follow his example. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any other interested person.

Mr Eccles is a kind, considerate and first class surgeon, who does not leave you looking 'tight' or 'pulled' but gives you a thoroughly youthful natural look so that you have a chance to 'shine' and feel your best . He is also very gentle and friendly in his communications, making one feel relaxed and at ease. He goes beyond the line of service , even rushing out to Waitrose to get me some food when I was post op. Thankyou very very very much and well done also for all your great charitable work, helping those who may not be as fortunate and making them feel better . Thankyou so much.

I met Mr Eccles 6 months ago to discuss lower face and neck lift surgery. Prior to this meeting I was nervous and concerned; ‘Was I making the right decision to alter my appearance at all?’ I need not to have worried in the slightest. From the first meeting I found Mr Eccles to be a consummate professional with a reassuringly gentle manner. Mr Eccles listened carefully and explained what results I could expect post surgery. Prior to this meeting I had read Mr Eccles’ biog and discovered his world class status as a renowned plastic surgeon so felt I would be in extremely safe hands. This coupled with his caring, confident and kind manner allowed me to make an informed, and in the end, easy decision to go ahead with surgery. Now post surgery I would like to ‘More than Highly Recommend’ Mr Simon Eccles as a plastic surgeon; for his incredible skill, care and professional support team he has chosen to work with. All made my experience easy and anxiety free. To say ‘I am delighted with the results of his surgery’ is nothing more than an understatement. I have quite honestly been ‘over the moon’ with my lower face and neck lift surgery and if you, like me are anxious about going ahead with a similar operation, I hope this review will reassure you that choosing Mr Eccles as your surgeon would be an easy choice to make.
