Dr Paul is an internationally-respected, highly-talented UK plastic surgeon and a pioneer and thought leader within the aesthetics industry.

His attention to detail, passion and artistic eye coupled with a very friendly, kind, thoughtful and honest approach has been greatly applauded and his services are very much in demand. Paul’s greatest wish always is to see patients smile following their surgery and his professionalism and warmth  connects deeply with patients and puts them at ease.

His expertise is extensive but he now primarily focuses his time on minimal scar breast augmentation, mummy makeovers, labiaplasty, revisional breast surgery as well as the latest revolutionary Mia Femtech minimally invasive breast harmonisation technique under local anaesthetic.

He has a strong scientific background too and has published extensively including several medical books (one of which has been widely acclaimed and is published in 4 languages) and he is a Visiting Professor of Plastic Surgery to Harvard Medical School for his previous work in wound healing & scarring. He has been listed in the Times Magazine as one of the UK’s Top 100 Doctors and his work repeatedly recognised by Tatler Magazine.  

Dr Paul also specialises in skin cancer and has pioneered some of the latest concepts in skin health and is an expert in cosmeceuticals. He was the Founder and former Head of The Melanoma and Skin Cancer Unit (MASCU) in East Grinstead, one of the largest skin cancer units in the UK. Paul regularly writes for the trade journals, was on the Editorial Board for Aesthetic Medicine and has judged for all the National UK Cosmetic Medicine Awards & Professional Beauty Awards.
Paul is a full member of the British Association of Plastic and Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS), the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).

About the PANTHEONS Brand

The PANTHEONS brand is rooted in the philosophy of artistry, precision, and transformation. Inspired by the concept of a temple of beauty and rejuvenation, PANTHEONS is more than just an aesthetic clinic, it is a sanctuary where each patient is treated with reverence, like a masterpiece sculpted with meticulous care. 

Our logo embodies elegance, simplicity, and timelessness, drawing inspiration from the Golden Ratio (Fibonacci sequence), a mathematical principle that represents perfect beauty and harmony. 

This symbolism aligns seamlessly with Pantheons' mission to blend cutting-edge innovation with artistic excellence, ensuring transformative results that are both natural and life-enhancing. Our brand identity represents a commitment to patient-centric care, where each individual is treated as a unique work of art, undergoing a journey of renewal and self-discovery.
