Mr Peter Hodgkinson

I have recently been awarded the Certificate in Cosmetic Surgery by the Royal College of Surgeons of England. This has been achieved in all three areas - facial surgery, cosmetic breast surgery and trunk surgery - and I was the first surgeon in the northeast of England to achieve this.  This high level award follows high level training but also scrutiny of my cosmetic surgery practice an recognition of a practice utilizing reflective techniques to concentrate on safety and high quality outcome with a low complication rate. My consultant practice began in December 1996 and I have been a Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon since then. My training in plastic surgery was in Manchester, Newcastle, south Wales and South Australia at the prestigious Australian Craniofacial Unit. I have published extensively within the plastic surgical literature, most recently reporting on the safety of day-case surgery. I have lectured and presented papers internationally.
