Private children’s plastic surgery price list

Our paediatric plastic surgeons treat both insured and self‑funding patients. For families paying privately, we offer fixed‑price packages so you know the full cost of your child’s care upfront.

These prices cover all expected elements of treatment, helping you plan with confidence and avoid unexpected costs. The tables below show packaged prices for some of our most common procedures (this is not an exhaustive list).

Outpatient children’s plastic surgery procedures price list

We offer combined consultation and treatment packages, designed for convenience and to minimise overall cost. Once we receive your enquiry, the consultant will confirm whether this pathway is suitable.

Where appropriate, a follow‑up appointment is included in the package price.

Pulsed dye laser (PDL) price list

Pulse dye laser treatment is carried out in our paediatric day surgery unit by your chosen consultant. Multiple sessions are often required. Reduced prices apply for later sessions not carried out under general anaesthetic.

Inpatient (theatre) price list

These packages are for procedures requiring surgery under local or general anaesthetic in a paediatric theatre. A consultation is usually required prior to booking. Prices include routine follow‑up after surgery.

If you need help understanding prices or suitability, fill in our online enquiry form and a member of our team will contact you.

Effectively treating extra digits and excess skin

Children can be born with extra digits or skin anywhere in the body. This can include the ear (called an ear tag) or also tongue-tie, which can severely affect a baby’s feeding.

Our specialists can provide treatment for these conditions at an early age, when local or no anaesthetic may be used. This can immediately improve the wellbeing of a child and avoids the need for treatment when a child is older and general anaesthetic is required.
