A Consultant Cosmetic Surgeon practising in Leicester. Specialising in breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, eyelids, face lift and liposuction.
Mr Hugh Henderson, MA, MB, BChir, FRCS, is committed to helping people through corrective cosmetic surgery. Not everyone can be helped, but Mr Henderson always tries to be completely honest about what is reasonable to expect, what he can do for them, and what the risks are. Around 95% of his patients are happy or very happy with the outcome of their treatment, but sometimes a subsequent procedure or other forms of cosmetic correction are required.
His particular specialities are facial cosmetic procedures, tummy tucks and breast operations, but he also offers a range of other treatments such as correction of inverted nipples, prominent ear correction, labial reduction, liposuction operations, fat transfer and rhinoplasties.
