Richard Young

Consultant Craniofacial, Reconstructive, Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeon

MA, BM, BCh, FRCS, FRCS (Plast)

Profile

I studied medicine at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. After qualifying I returned to teach at Cambridge and tutor at Downing College before starting my surgical training at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol. I continued plastic surgery training in Hong Kong, London and Belgium, working in well known hospitals such as The Royal Marsden, Great Ormond Street and The University Hospital, Gent.

I was awarded the specialist fellowship in Plastic Surgery, FRCS (Plast), in 2007 and my Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in 2008 with entry on to the GMC Specialist Plastic Surgery Register. The same year I was appointed as a Consultant in the Craniofacial Plastic Surgery Department at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London where my NHS practice is still based. I also run a private practice at 152 Harley Street, London.

I have a specialist interest in skin cancers, benign moles, lipomas, general skin surgery as well as cosmetic rejuvenation utilising non-surgical techniques.

I am a core member of the Skin Cancer Team at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and work closely with consultant colleagues in oculoplastic surgery, ENT, maxillofacial and neurosurgery. I am a full member of the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) and the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS).
