Qualifications

I offer a full range of plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery including surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures, head and neck surgery, skin cancer surgery, sarcoma surgery and reconstruction.

Following my initial training in Maxillofacial Surgery in Birmingham, I went on to undertake a 12 month fellowship in Adelaide, at the internationally renowned Australian Craniofacial Unit and a further 12 month Fellowship in Head and Neck Oncology at The Royal Brisbane Hospital, Queensland. Here I gained advanced training in head and neck surgery and also complex skin cancers. I went on to complete my higher surgical training in Plastic Surgery in Leeds in 1996 and have trained throughout the Yorkshire region.

For the major part of my NHS appointment, I am the Lead Clinician for Sarcoma at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, and I am also Lead Clinician for Plastic Surgery. Carrying out all aspects of plastic and reconstructive surgery, I specialise in oncological surgery and reconstruction, including complex sarcoma surgery. Within my private practice, I offer a full range of cosmetic surgery including facial surgery, aesthetic surgery of the breast, body contouring surgery and non-surgical treatments. I am a member of the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) and I am on the Specialist Register of the General Medical Council.

Mr Smith provided an excellent service, he put my 13 year old daughter at ease from the first consultation. He explained the procedure thoroughly. The scar is hardly visible after only a few weeks. The aftercare was also excellent from both him and his team with great communication. I would highly recommend Mr Smith. Thank you so much.
