Welcome to the UKAAPS website. This is compiled by our Members , for our Members and has the unreserved and unashamed purpose of promoting safer Aesthetic Plastic Surgery practice to the public. Using modern marketing techniques, cosmetic surgery patients will be made aware of the training and experience required by our GMC Specialty Registered , Plastic Surgeon Members located throughout the entire United Kingdom and even abroad.
The intention is to balance safety by matching a Patient, keen to enquire about Cosmetic Surgery, with the correct local Plastic Surgeon specialist and at a competitive local price, undertaken at a CQC approved hospital. Over the past 3 years UKAAPS has developed a 'Super -Specialist' Aesthetic Surgery training programme that leads the world’s first University based qualification ( MCh in Aesthetic Surgery Practice)
In addition , there are many listed UKAAPS Members , not on this training programe , that are all Fully Accredited, Specialty Registered , Plastic Surgeons offering Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in their own regions around the UK . Patients are encouraged to review their websites referenced in the Surgeon’s section. UKAAPS is the only organisation that is comprised exclusively of Plastic Surgeons.
We feel that informing the public, as well as educating Surgeons, plus introducing modern safer concepts and advances, will minimise risk. Like all trained Plastic Surgeons, UKAAPS Members feel that aesthetic improvements are best made by those with a creative understanding of a potential patient’s wants or needs, balanced with an honesty of approach and realism of expectations and outcomes.

Putting patient safety first
