About me:

Mr Christopher West is a fully accredited UK trained plastic surgeon who is on the GMC specialist register for plastic surgery. He has a busy private practice based in York and Leeds where he provides all aspects of cosmetic surgery, with a particular interest in facial plastic surgery and advanced deep plane facelift techniques. He is a full member of the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetics Surgeons (BAPRAS), a full member of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) and a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCS). 

 

He is a consultant plastic surgeon within the NHS at Leeds Teaching Hospitals where his specialist interests are complex limb reconstruction, sarcoma surgery and microsurgery, and he recently featured in the BBC series ‘Saving Lives in Leeds”. Chris studied medicine at the University of Sheffield and qualified as a doctor in 2004 with a 1st Class Honours in Medical Science. He performed his Basic Surgical Training in Yorkshire, before moving to Edinburgh to complete his higher surgical training in plastic surgery. He returned to Leeds in 2019 to complete a further fellowship in sarcoma, lower limb reconstruction and microsurgery, and was subsequently appointed as a Consultant Plastic Surgeon at Leeds Teaching Hospitals. 

 

Throughout his career, Chris has been involved in research. During his training he was awarded a PhD from the University of Edinburgh for his international prize-winning research on stem cells within fat, and their regenerative potential. His work received multiple prizes from The British Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons and the European Association of Plastic Surgeons. Based on his research, Mr West routinely uses fat grafting and fat transfer as part of his approach to total facial rejuvenation to restore youthful volume during facial plastic surgery and facelifts. He has written multiple book chapters, published widely in the scientific and surgical literature and presented his work globally.

 

In 2018 Chris was awarded a highly prestigious Advanced Training Fellowship in cosmetic surgery, which is the highest recognised training programme in cosmetic surgery and allowed him to train with world leading cosmetic surgeons. Mr West’s drive and passion to deliver the best possible results to his patients means that he regularly attends international conferences and visits world leading surgeons in Europe and USA to learn and share ideas on the most recent techniques in facelift and facial rejuvenation. As a result he is one of few surgeons able to offer extended deep plane facelift techniques. 

Mr West’s extensive training and experience, matched with his continued drive to be at the forefront of plastic surgery and facelift techniques, allow him to provide the highest standards of care to his patients ensuring you are in the safest of hands. The highest standards of plastic surgery delivered professionally, personally and naturally.
