About me:

 

Mr George E. Spyrou

Consultant Plastic Surgeon

MD, FRCS(Ed), MPhil, CCMS(PLAST-GR), EBOPRAS

I have been a Consultant Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic surgeon for over 20 years. I undertake all aspects of cosmetic surgery and the main bulk of my work is facial aesthetics, breast and body contouring surgery.

My total experience in Plastic surgery has a 30 -year span.

I offer only bespoke procedures based on safety and honesty.  My result will aim to achieve proportion, harmony and symmetry. Your outcome will not be an exaggerated one and you will not have the stigma of extreme plastic surgery. My reputation both as a reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon has blossomed due to a combination of factors based on a patient-specific, proportionate and uniquely balanced approach. When this type of patient-centred approach is combined with up-to-date scientific knowledge, extensive training and years of experience together with distilled maturity, the end result is a direct benefit to you as the patient. Your wishes will be discussed in great length. I will help you to make the right choices. My success is based on trying to reach the point of sensitivity and truthfulness. I always aim to create a comfortable Dr/patient rapport, invite questions and concerns you may have and in return I will give a thorough explanation of your condition and offer the appropriate solutions.

In aesthetic facial surgery I have a special interest in blepharoplasties, rhinoplasties autologous fat transfer to improve facial contouring and prominent ear correction

For blepharoplasties (eyelid surgery for bag removal) I have developed specific and pioneering techniques in eyelid suspension for great results. I have presented my techniques in various scientific meetings. I use these pioneering techniques in both cosmetic and reconstructive eyelid surgery.

I am the skin cancer lead in the Midyorks NHS Trust and perform routinely a great number of reconstructive facial work with the main focus around total eyelid reconstruction following resection for cancer. The experience that I have gained over decades of reconstructive work enables me to have mastered a very solid approach when it comes to cosmetic eyelid surgery.

For rhinoplasties I offer a combined service with ENT surgeons to maximise cosmesis and function. I have developed this combined service in the NHS in order to deal with the reconstructive rhinoplasty cases. These are very complex cases and are mainly augmentation rhinoplasties with correction of breathing problems. I also offer similar procedures at Methley Park Hospital for private cosmetic rhinoplasty patients. These cosmetic procedures are mainly reduction rhinoplasties in nature. 

For prominent ears correction I use combination of techniques involving both cartilage reshaping or resection if required. 

For facial contouring I use the Sidney Coleman fat transfer approach for long-lasting natural results. Fat is removed from another part of the body is and used to improve facial aesthetics.

I have a special interest in implant-based breast augmentation as well as breast uplifts and breast reductions. I was one of the very few surgeons who alerted MHRA, (UK Health and Medicines Regulatory body) with regards to the risks of aggressive textured silicone implants (ALCL) as early as 2014 when I reported the second case in the UK. As a result of these meticulous reports of mine and other plastic surgeons who really care about patients, these implants lost their CE mark in 2018. Currently I only use nanotextured breast implants which are not linked to ALCL.

I have also been introduced to the technique of autologous fat breast augmentation in 2009 by Dr Ueberreiter who invented the technique in Berlin. I mastered the procedure of autologous fat breast augmentation with great success in the UK.

I perform body contouring surgery, arm lifts, tummy tucks and liposuction. I have been the bariatric lead in the Midyorks NHS Trust for massive weight loss patients and gained valuable experience through that role. In abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) for example I offer various additions or modifications. I also perform skin tightening, musculofascial reconstruction/tightening as well as targeted liposuction.

I have developed an all-in-one stage male breast reduction (gynaecomastia reduction) technique where open reduction and liposuction take place at the same time in order to maximise the results and meet patient’s expectations. 

To date I have performed over 20,000 procedures in plastic surgery in both the NHS and privately. The breast procedures alone are over 2,000 as my experience in complex breast surgery has grown over the years.

I keep up to date with my general medical education, especially with the latest techniques in cosmetic facial/breast/body surgery by regularly attending courses, meetings and seminars in the UK, Europe and USA.

I am currently an NHS Consultant in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Midyorks NHS Trust. I hold a senior clinical post and I am also educational supervisor for junior doctors.

Recently and due to the long NHS waiting lists skin cancer patients come to see me privately. The service I offer is exactly the same as in the NHS with one exemption. The patient journey is much shorter and the solution to the problem is given almost immediately so patients do not have to wait.

I gained my basic medical qualification in Greece before relocating to the UK in 1992. After 4 years of basic training in general and plastic surgery, I qualified as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (FRCSEd) in 1996. Following that I undertook a pioneering research project in the management of scars at the University of Bradford. I was awarded the higher degree of Master of Philosophy (MPhil) for my thesis in 1998. In 2003 I was awarded both the Certificate of Completion of Training in Plastic Surgery from Greece CCMS(PLAST-GR), and the European Boards of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Qualification (EBOPRAS). I have a dual qualification and am licensed to practice both in UK and EU.

My higher specialist training as a Specialist Registrar in Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery was carried out in Bradford, Leeds, Hull and Wakefield. I also spent periods in other specialist centres in London and Belgium.

In 2003 I had the privilege in to be one of the few selected to complete probably the most prestigious cosmetic fellowship in the UK at the Humana Wellington Hospital in London. I was taught plastic surgery by the BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) president at the time Mr Norman Waterhouse. Although that was over 20 years ago, the principles of the patient-centred approach together with solid surgical skills will echo for ever.

I have now reached a stage in my career where I am well known and recognised. I acquired my reputation through hard work and ethics. I have been invited on numerous occasions to deliver topics as a faculty member, I have written a thesis on scar management following 2 years of laboratory research, am an author of chapters in specialist books, have 15 peer-reviewed publications and have presented in excess of 150 papers in scientific societies.
