Mr Christian West
Consultant Plastic Surgeon and Cosmetic Surgeon
MBChB, MRCS, FRSC (Plast.), MD Diploma of Hand Surgery
Specialises in
- Cosmetic surgery
- Plastic surgery
- Breast surgery
- Hand surgery
I am a consultant plastic surgeon with over 15 years’ experience, seeing patients at Spire for both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. I feel very fortunate to work in a specialty where treatment can make a genuine and lasting difference to confidence, comfort and quality of life.
My practice covers all areas of cosmetic surgery of the face, body and breasts, including breast augmentation, as well as procedures such as eyelid surgery and the removal of skin lesions. I take time to understand each person’s goals and provide clear, experienced advice, helping patients feel informed and confident about their choices. Where appropriate, I offer tailored surgical plans designed to achieve natural results while prioritising safety.
Alongside cosmetic surgery, I also have specialist expertise in hand and arm conditions. I am trained across both the orthopaedic and plastic surgery aspects of hand surgery, allowing me to treat conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren’s contracture, trigger finger, ganglions and arthritis, as well as more complex hand injuries.
In addition to my work at Spire, my NHS practice is based at Whiston Hospital, the largest plastic surgery centre in the North West, where my specialist focus includes breast reconstruction, hand injuries, complex limb reconstruction and facial surgery for skin cancer. I am also part of a regional centre specialising in abdominal wall reconstruction, including tummy tuck surgery and scar revision for muscle separation and hernias.
Outside of work, I live locally with my wife and three daughters and enjoy cycling, swimming, skiing and family life.
