Welcome to the Cosmetic Surgery Department

There are two main branches to plastic surgery: Reconstructive Surgery and Aesthetic (or Cosmetic) Surgery.

Reconstructive surgery restores function and/or appearance. This may include the correction of the effects of cancer, injury or birth defects.

Aesthetic surgery is the branch of plastic surgery which seeks to improve the appearance of a body part that is otherwise normal such as breast augmentation or a face lift. If you are considering treatment, advice from a professional experienced surgeon is essential.

Undergoing Cosmetic (Aesthetic) or Reconstructive Surgery is a highly sensitive and surgically serious matter.  At Blackrock Clinic it is important that patients understand the gravity of the procedure they are undertaking and that they feel confident in the experience and qualifications of their surgeons, and the subsequent healthcare they will receive at the hospital.
