Plastic Surgeon
What does a plastic surgeon do?
Many people automatically think of celebrities and their seemingly never-ending quest for a youthful appearance when it comes to cosmetic plastic surgery. However, a plastic surgeon’s work is about much more than just making someone look younger.
Plastic surgeons like Dr Hamadeh help improve a person’s quality of life, people who have experienced physical trauma or struggle with conditions like Cleft Palat.
“These surgeons are medical doctors who specialise in restoring and reconstructing facial and body features. This can involve several different procedures, from reconstructive plastic surgery such as Cleft Lip to cosmetic plastic surgery like nasal reconstruction”
What do Plastic Surgeons do?
Reconstructive
Cosmetic
Cosmetic surgery is used to change and enhance looks. This type of surgery involves facial implants, saline implants, fat removal, restructuring or reshaping, not typically covered by the NHS and is generally considered elective surgery.

What types of Plastic Surgery can Dr Hamadeh carry out?
Why choose Dr Hamadeh for your plastic surgery?
As a highly experienced surgeon, Dr Hamadeh is often looked to by people looking to enhance their looks or improve their physicality. And while it’s true that many people choose to go to a plastic or cosmetic surgeon because they want to improve their appearance, this isn’t the only thing people look for when getting plastic surgery done.
Some people may have scars from an injury that they want to get rid of, or they may have a physical impediment that reconstructive plastic surgery can fix. These are some key reasons people seek out this type of surgery.
Why Choose a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon?
Looking for a plastic surgeon is daunting, and it’s essential to choose a board-certified surgeon. Becoming registered by the General Medical Council in the UK means they have met specific requirements and qualifications and are licensed to perform plastic surgery.
Board-certified surgeons such as Dr Hamadeh have also undergone rigorous training and maintain a high quality of care, ensuring you get the best possible care when you have your surgical procedure.
What is the Cost of Plastic Surgery?
The cost of plastic surgery varies depending on the procedure you are considering. However, it’s important to remember that the cost of surgery is not the only thing you need to consider. Make sure to factor in the price of post-operative care, such as follow-up appointments and medication. Dr Hamadeh includes all pre & post-operative care in the figure quoted in your personalised consultation.
Cosmetic Plastic Surgery
Cosmetic surgery is a type of surgery used to change a person’s look. This can include nasal cosmetic surgery, Facelift & Necklift, Blepharoplasty, and Otoplasty. Cosmetic procedures are usually performed for aesthetic reasons, to make a person look more attractive.
Reconstructive Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery is a type of surgery that is used to correct deformities or improve the function of a person’s body. This can include techniques such as reconstructive surgery.
Plastic surgeons usually perform this for functional reasons, e.g., to improve the way a person’s body works. For example, traumatic injuries or cleft lips can be corrected with plastic surgery.
In general, reconstructive plastic surgery is a more complex procedure than a cosmetic procedure.

How to Choose a Plastic Surgeon
When choosing a leading plastic surgeon, it’s essential to do your research. Check websites such as the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) to ensure that you’re choosing someone who is board-certified and has experience in the type of surgery that interests you. Be sure to ask your surgeon about qualifications and training.
It’s important to remember that the decision to have plastic surgery is a personal one. You should take your time and explore your options with a qualified surgeon during your initial consultation before deciding.
Dr Hamadeh understands plastic surgery can be a life-changing experience and will discuss all your options with you, ensuring that you’re making the right decision.
Risks of Plastic Surgery
As with any surgery, there are risks associated with plastic surgery. Some of the risks associated with it include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Scarring
- Damage to nerves or blood vessels
Discussing the risks with Dr Hamadeh during your consultation will help. He spends time helping you understand the processes related to your specific procedure.
Plastic Surgery Recovery Time
Recovery time varies depending on your surgery. In general, expect to take at least two weeks off work for most procedures. It’s important to carefully follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions to ensure a speedy and healthy recovery.
What are skin grafts?
Skin grafts are a type of plastic surgery. They involve taking a piece of skin from one area of the body and transplanting it to another area. This is often done to cover up burns or other injuries.
Plastic Surgery whilst pregnant?
Generally, it is not recommended to get plastic surgery while pregnant. This is because the body is going through many changes, and it’s not clear how the surgery will affect the pregnancy. We recommend waiting until your baby is born and you’ve had time to recover before considering surgery.
Improved Self-Esteem
A key benefit of plastic surgery is an increase in self-esteem. Many people feel better about themselves after surgery and feel more confident.
Better Physical Appearance
Another benefit of plastic surgery is an improved physical appearance. This can include a more youthful appearance, a more symmetrical face, or a better-proportioned body.
Improved Function
Some plastic surgery can also improve the function of the body. For example, reconstructive surgery can help improve the function of a damaged body part and help the patient enjoy their life more.
Increased Confidence
Surgery can also help improve someone’s confidence. Feeling like your appearance is holding you back from achieving your goals and lacking confidence is debilitating. Getting your confidence back is a life-changing experience
Improved Quality of Life
Plastic and reconstructive surgeries can elevate the quality of patients’ lives. This could be due to helping them move or function better or relieving psychological distress.
Improved Body Image
Cosmetic surgeons help improve a person’s appearance and body image to make them more comfortable with how they look. Having a more positive view of their appearance leads to being more confident and positive.

Benefits of Plastic Surgery
