Practice Philosophy

Feeling confident about how you look can do wonders for your quality of life. But taking the decision to undergo cosmetic plastic surgery is a serious commitment.

Laurence Kirwan MD, FRCS is a pioneering aesthetic plastic surgeon and one of the world’s most skilled and highly qualified. He offers a superior level of knowledge, care and expertise to help you achieve the look you want.

Prof. Kirwan has clinics in Harley Street, London and in New York and Connecticut, USA.  He specialises in aesthetic plastic surgery of the face, breast and body.

Laurence Kirwan was born in Liverpool in the north-west of England. He graduated in Medicine in 1974 from the Victoria University of Manchester, one of Britain’s most distinguished universities, and became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1979.

Prof. Kirwan spent over six years training in general surgery in England, Australia and the United States. To become a plastic surgeon with special qualifications in plastic surgery, he then completed a two-year Residency in Plastic Surgery at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, where his teacher was Frederick J. McCoy, one of the founders of plastic surgery in the United States.

Today, Prof. Kirwan is widely regarded as an expert in surgery of the face, breast and body, and is credited as being one of the first physicians to practice Botox injections in the UK. In addition to being a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, he is also a Professor of Plastic Surgery of the International School of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and holds the Diploma of the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

For the past ten years Prof. Kirwan has limited his practice to aesthetic plastic surgery of the face, breast and body – apart from his work with charities, where he has donated his surgical skills to perform reconstructive surgery in cases of birth defects and war injuries. He has published numerous articles, is a regular speaker on his areas of expertise and currently teaches aesthetic plastic surgery to plastic surgeons who have completed their residency training in the New York and London.

The January 2006 issue of Russian Vogue listed Prof. Kirwan as one of the Top 20 Plastic Surgeons, worldwide. He was named one of Tatler Magazine’s “Top Surgeons” in their 2004, 2007 and 2008 Cosmetic Surgery Guides. Named in the Evening Standard’s “The 1000 London’s Most Influential People 2007 & 2008” .
