About Centre for Surgery
We’re a specialist cosmetic surgery hospital in central London. Everything we do happens under one roof at Baker Street — your consultation, your surgery, your recovery, your follow-ups. No rented theatres, no shuffling between sites. The clinic was built for cosmetic surgery from the ground up, and we run it the way we’d want a member of our own family treated.
Choosing where to have cosmetic surgery matters as much as choosing the surgeon. Here’s what’s different about doing it with us.
A purpose-built hospital, not a converted clinic. Our facility at Baker Street was designed from scratch for cosmetic surgery — four consulting rooms, two theatres, a dedicated recovery suite, and a local anaesthetic treatment room. Privacy was built into the architecture: the building has zero visibility from the street.
CQC Good rating. We’re an independent private healthcare facility licensed and inspected by the Care Quality Commission. Most cosmetic clinics in London aren’t full hospitals and aren’t CQC-regulated. We are, and we hold a Good rating.
1,500+ surgeries every year. Volume matters. Outcomes are consistently better when surgeons operate frequently in the same facility with the same team — and we’re one of the highest-volume cosmetic surgery practices in the country.
TIVA anaesthesia as standard. Total Intravenous Anaesthesia is delivered by certified specialist anaesthetists using computer-controlled pumps. with traditional general anaesthesia, it means less grogginess, less post-op nausea, and a faster return to normal life.
GMC-registered specialist surgeons only. Every procedure at Centre for Surgery is performed by a consultant on the GMC Specialist Register. No exceptions.
Most cosmetic in London in spaces that weren’t designed for it — converted townhouses, rented theatres in larger hospitals, day-surgery units shared with other specialties. Ours wasn’t.
The Baker Street hospital was designed and built specifically for cosmetic surgery. Two operating theatres, four consulting rooms, a dedicated local anaesthetic treatment room, and a recovery suite — all on one site, all run by the same clinical team that will look after you from your first consultation to your final follow-up.
We pay attention to the things patients don’t think to ask about. The building has no visible windows from the street. Patients enter and leave privately. Recovery rooms are quiet and separate from areas. Every detail of how the space works has been chosen to make a stressful day feel less stressful.
Our surgeons carry out over 1,500 procedures a year here. The same team, the same theatres, the same anaesthetists, the same nurses. That consistency is one of the strongest predictors of good surgical outcomes — and it’s not something a clinic running across multiple rented venues can offer.
A consultation at Centre for Surgery isn’t a sales call. The surgeon you see is the surgeon who would your procedure, and their job at that first appointment is to tell you whether surgery is the right answer for you — not to close a deal.
Sometimes the honest answer is that a non-surgical treatment would give you a better result. Sometimes it’s that your expectations and what surgery can realistically deliver don’t quite match, and the right thing is to talk that through before going further. And sometimes it’s that we don’t think you should have surgery at all.
We turn patients away. Not often, but we do. It’s one of the reasons our results are consistent: we operate on people who are genuinely good candidates, and we say so when they aren’t.
After your consultation, you’ll have a two-week cooling-off period before any is booked. There’s no pressure to decide on the day. If you change your mind — for any reason — that’s fine.
Cosmetic surgery is a series of small decisions stacked on top of each other. The used. The implant chosen. The way the incision is closed. How the dressings are managed in the first 48 hours. Who calls you on day three to check how you’re sleeping. Each one of these is the kind of detail that doesn’t show up in a marketing brochure but absolutely shows up in your result.
Our surgeons travel internationally to teach and to learn — at the BAAPS, BAPRAS, and global plastic surgery meetings — and several of the techniques we use day-to-day were refined here at Baker Street. We update our protocols when the evidence changes, and we’re sceptical of trends that don’t have data behind them.
What that means for you, practically: you’ll meet your surgeon before and again after. Your patient coordinator is one named person, not a rota. The nursing team that looks after you in recovery is the same one that calls you the next day. Continuity isn’t a value statement — it’s how we run the building.
surgery is expensive, and the worst time to be surprised by a number is after you’ve already committed. We quote a single, all-inclusive price after your consultation that covers the surgeon’s fee, the anaesthetist, the theatre, the hospital stay, your aftercare appointments, and any post-operative garments or dressings.
We work with Chrysalis Finance, who offer 0% APR options over set repayment terms. If finance is you’re considering, your patient coordinator can walk you through the application before you book.
We don’t run flash sales, limited-time offers, or pressure promotions. Our Pricing (https://www.elizabetharden.co.uk) reflects what the procedure actually costs to do safely and well, and it’s the same on a Monday in January as it is on a Friday in July.
Every patient who has surgery with us has a mandatory two-week cooling-off period between consultation and the day of their procedure. This isn’t a marketing line — it’s a and clinical safeguard, and we apply it without .
The point is to give you space. Space to re-read the information your surgeon gave you. Space to ask the questions you didn’t think of in the room. Space to talk it over with the people whose opinion to you. Space, if you need it, to change your mind.
If you decide not to go ahead, you don’t owe us a reason. Your consultation fee is non-refundable, but no further charges apply, and there’s no pressure from us to reconsider. We’d rather you make the right decision for you than the convenient one for us.
You’ll have a named patient coordinator from the moment you book your consultation. That person stays with you for the whole journey — they answer your pre-op questions, they’re at the hospital on the day of your procedure, and they’re the person you message if something feels off in week two of your recovery.
The clinical team is just as consistent. The same nurses who prepare you for surgery are the ones who’ll see you in recovery and call you the next morning. Your surgeon does your consultation, performs your procedure, and you at every follow-up — they’re not delegating any part of your care to someone you’ve never met.
Continuity changes how surgery feels. You’re not re-explaining your case to a new face every time you walk through the door. You’re being looked after by people who know you.
Your Patient Journey
Your first call is with one of our patient coordinators. They’ll ask about what you’re considering, why, and any medical history we should know about — all of it confidential. Based on that, they’ll match you with the right surgeon for what you’re looking to do, and find a consultation slot that works around your schedule. The consultation is a £100 fixed fee, payable when you book — it includes the surgeon’s time and a full assessment.
You’ll get a confirmation by email and SMS with everything you need: the address, how to find us, who you’ll be seeing, and what to expect from the consultation itself. If anything specific you want the surgeon to look at, you can flag it in advance.
You’ll meet directly with the surgeon who would your — not a sales advisor, not a trainee. They’ll examine you, listen to what you want to change, and walk you through the realistic . That includes telling you if surgery isn’t the right answer for you. After the consultation, your patient coordinator sends through a personalised, all-inclusive quote the next working day.
Once you decide to go ahead, a mandatory two-week cooling-off period before surgery. During that time, our nursing team runs through your pre-operative health assessment and gives you a clear list of what to do and what to avoid in the days leading up to your procedure. Your patient coordinator stays your single point of contact throughout.
Your procedure takes place at our Baker Street hospital. You’ll see your surgeon first to confirm the plan and answer any last-minute questions. The anaesthetist — a consultant specialist — will introduce themselves and what they’ll be doing. After your procedure, you’ll recover in our dedicated recovery suite where the nursing team you closely. We discharge you only when we’re satisfied you’re ready to go home.
Our nursing team calls you every day for the first 7-14 days after your procedure to check how you’re sleeping, how you’re managing pain, and how the healing is progressing. You’ll have a follow-up with your surgeon at six weeks, and complimentary follow-ups continue for up to a year — or until your surgeon is satisfied with your recovery. If anything feels off in between appointments, you call us.
A consultation at Centre for Surgery isn’t a 15-minute slot with a sales advisor. You’ll meet the surgeon who would carry out your procedure, sit down with one of our patient coordinators, and have time to ask the questions that matter to you.
Our surgeons are all on the GMC Specialist Register, with consultant-level training in plastic, reconstructive, or oculoplastic surgery. Many of them teach internationally and publish in peer-reviewed journals. All of them work exclusively at our Baker Street hospital — they’re not flying in from another clinic on a Saturday and disappearing on Sunday.
The team you see in the photo — patient coordinators, nursing leads, — is the team you’ll see every time you visit. Continuity isn’t a marketing line; it’s the single biggest practical between a hospital like ours and a clinic that contracts in by the day.
The medication is delivered intravenously through a computer-controlled pump that adjusts the dose continuously, second by second. There’s no gas, no breathing tube for most procedures, and no airway irritation on waking. The technique has a strong safety record in day-case surgery and is the standard we hold ourselves to.
The grogginess, nausea, sore throat, and “lost half a day” feeling that patients commonly associate with general anaesthesia are markedly reduced with TIVA. Most patients are alert and conversational within 30 minutes of waking, and able to eat and drink soon after.
We combine TIVA with targeted local anaesthetic at the surgical site, which means the area is already numb when the general anaesthetic wears off. The result is meaningfully less discomfort in the first 24 hours and lower reliance on strong pain medication afterwards.
Most patients walk out of the the same day, often within a few hours of their procedure finishing. You’ll need someone to drive you home and stay with you overnight, but you won’t need an inpatient stay for the great majority of procedures we perform.
