Meet Mr Macdonald

Mr Macdonald talks about his background and training and his role as Consultant Plastic Surgeon at Benenden Hospital.

About Mr Macdonald

I studied for my degrees at University College London before working in London, Hertfordshire, Essex and the South East. I then worked in internationally renowned Plastic Surgery Centres in the South East, Norwich and the West Midlands before completing fellowships in skin cancer surgery and aesthetic surgery. I became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, then undertook advanced training in Boston and San Diego (USA).

I worked as a Consultant Plastic Surgeon in the Midlands where I established a successful cosmetic practice before returning to my roots in the South East.

I have a broad surgical expertise and enjoy a wide variety of surgery for the breast and body. I most enjoy repairing changes brought on by weight fluctuation, the aging process and pregnancy. I am a member of specialist interest groups for cosmetic surgery safety, microsurgery, and body contouring surgery. I'm a member of the British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) and British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).

My research interests include improving patient outcomes and safety in plastic surgery. I have previously presented my work on improving stress incontinence and pelvic floor symptoms with abdominoplasty surgery.
