Choosing to undergo plastic surgery is a significant decision — and the surgeon you choose plays a crucial role in your safety, your outcome, and your overall experience.
One of the strongest indicators of professionalism and expertise in the UK is selecting a surgeon who is a member of BAPRAS (The British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons).
Here’s why this matters:
“One of the strongest indicators of professionalism and expertise in the UK is selecting a surgeon who is a member of BAPRAS.”
1. BAPRAS Members Are Fully Trained Specialist Plastic Surgeons
Not all doctors who perform cosmetic procedures are trained plastic surgeons.
BAPRAS members have completed:
- Extensive specialist surgical training in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery
- Rigorous examinations and assessments
- Years of surgical experience in NHS and private settings
This ensures you’re in the hands of a surgeon who understands both the art and the science of surgical aesthetics, tissue healing, scarring, and patient safety.
2. They Uphold the Highest Standards of Patient Safety
BAPRAS members must adhere to strict professional and ethical standards. This includes:
- Following evidence-based practice
- Maintaining ongoing surgical training and CPD
- Complying with GMC standards and national guidelines
- You can trust that your surgeon is committed to safe, transparent, and responsible care.
3. You Get Access to the Latest Techniques and Best Practice
BAPRAS is at the forefront of research, innovation, and surgical advancement in the UK. Members have access to:
- Cutting-edge surgical training
- National conferences and specialist courses
- Shared knowledge from leaders in the field
This ensures your treatment benefits from the most modern, refined, and effective techniques available.
4. They Can Manage Both Aesthetic and Reconstructive Needs
BAPRAS surgeons are trained across the full spectrum of plastic surgery, including:
- Aesthetic procedures
- Reconstructive surgery
- Trauma
- Skin cancer
- Burns
- Hand surgery
This depth of expertise gives you the reassurance that — should complications arise — Mr Fitton has the experience to manage them safely and confidently.
5. BAPRAS Members Prioritise Honest, Ethical Advice
Being a member of BAPRAS requires surgeons to:
- Offer realistic expectations
- Turn patients away when surgery is not appropriate
- Provide clear, evidence-based information
- Support informed decision-making
You receive a consultation focused on your safety and wellbeing, not sales.
6. A Mark of Trust, Transparency, and Professional Excellence
The BAPRAS membership is recognised nationally and internationally as a hallmark of:
- Quality
- Integrity
- Specialised surgical training
- Patient-centred care
It is one of the most respected surgical associations in the UK.

Still Unsure? That’s Perfectly Normal
