Marc Pacifico Plastic Surgeon

Marc Pacifico is one of the leading plastic surgeons in the UK and the President of the BAAPS (The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons). He regularly lectures nationally and internationally to colleagues, and is known in particular for his breast and facial plastic surgery practice. Marc is Certified by the Royal College of Surgeons of England in facial plastic surgery, breast plastic surgery, body contouring surgery and peri-orbital plastic surgery.

Marc has expertise in facial rejuvenation surgery including deep plane facelift surgery, deep neck lifting and eyelid surgery. Breast plastic surgery also forms a large part of Marc’s practice, with him regularly undertaking procedures such as breast augmentation, breast reduction and breast lifts, these procedures often being combined with body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck, as part of a mummy makeover. In addition, Marc is called on frequently to undertake revision breast plastic surgery – to help to address problems and issues from past surgery – he receives referrals from many other plastic surgery colleagues in this area.

In his practice, Marc is dedicated to providing the highest possible standard of care to every patient in his care. He will provide you with an open and honest opinion regarding your suitability for surgery, with your safety and wellbeing as his top priority.

Marc prides himself on the very personal relationship he develops with his patients, understanding that the trust and confidence you have in your surgeon is vital throughout your surgical journey. Marc graduated from St Bartholomew’s Hospital Medical College and undertook his surgical training in a number of prestigious hospitals in London. His specialist plastic surgery training started at Charing Cross Hospital, London and from there he spent 5-years at Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood, during which time he completed his doctorate on improving outcomes in melanoma. Subsequently he trained at The Royal Free Hospital, London and Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, where he worked as a Consultant Plastic Surgeon for 8-years.

Marc was awarded the Ian McGregor “gold” medal for coming top in the UK in the FRCS (Plast.) exam. Marc has been comprehensively trained in the most advanced techniques in aesthetic surgery; both in the UK and during the time he spent working in Melbourne, Australia. It was in Melbourne that he undertook the Advanced Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Fellowship at the internationally renowned Melbourne Institute of Plastic Surgery. He has experience in all areas of aesthetic surgery, but his main interests are in breast and facial surgery. The look Marc aims to achieve is a natural, fresh look, in all areas of aesthetic plastic surgery. Marc particularly focuses on the care you receive pre- and post-operatively, in order to optimise the outcome of your surgery and provide you with a smooth recovery after your operation.

Marc opened Purity Bridge, the exclusive private clinic in Tunbridge Wells in 2013.
