Centre for Surgery Launches New Line of Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Procedures Using Local Anaesthesia

Centre for Surgery, the Marylebone-based Plastic Surgery Clinic, announce the expansion of their service offering with a selection of minimally invasive surgical procedures, designed to be performed under local anaesthesia.  Renowned for their commitment to providing advanced cosmetic procedures and transforming lives with patient-centric care, the clinic will launch the new treatments in November as an extension of this. 

The innovative new approach allows for safe, time-efficient procedures with quicker recovery times, providing patients with an enhanced surgical experience, and is ideal for those seeking subtle, effective changes without the downtime associated with more invasive surgeries. Utilising local anaesthesia, these procedures offer a streamlined, safe and cost-effective alternative to traditional surgery. 

“At Center for Surgery, we prioritize innovation alongside patient safety,” said Dr. Spiros, one of the practice’s lead surgeons. “We never compromise one over the other, and our new offering has been in development for a while in order to offer a safer approach for patients whilst still achieving the outstanding, natural-looking results they desire and expect from Centre For Surgery.” 

Each procedure is subject to patient consultation and suitability as is standard, and is designed to achieve natural-looking results with a focus on safety, precision, and patient comfort.  

The new procedures available include: 

Dr. Spiros: 

Nasal Tip Rhinoplasty, £5,000 

A refined option for nose reshaping that focuses on enhancing the tip only, ideal for patients looking for subtle yet impactful changes without opting for a more traditional, invasive procedure 

Mini Facelift, £5,000 

Designed to rejuvenate the lower face, this procedure addresses mild to moderate sagging without requiring a full facelift, creating an option for those who don’t need or want a much larger surgery. 

Dr. Tamsin: 

Mini Breast Augmentation, £5,000 

Using smaller implants (up to 300cc), and placed above the muscle, this method provides a natural-looking enhancement with minimal downtime 

Mini Tummy Tuck, £5,000 

Targeted for the lower abdomen, this procedure is perfect for addressing slight excess skin or fat. 

Advantages of Local Anaesthesia for Mini Treatments  

Choosing the appropriate anaesthesia method is one of the most important aspects of planning a cosmetic procedure, or any surgery. Centre for Surgery’s mini procedures harness the benefits of a local method, which is a safer and often more efficient approach, and suits those who are worried or won‘t opt for a treatment due to the risks associated with general anesthetic.   

Key benefits include: 

  1. Reduced Risk & Enhanced Safety – Local anesthesia lowers the risk of complications, specifically for those with pre-existing health conditions. Only the specific area being treated is numbed, significantly lowering the potential complications and allowing patients to breathe independently throughout the procedure.  

  2. Faster Recovery Time – Patients often experience quicker recovery and can return to their routines sooner and feeling more energised, as the body isn’t exposed to powerful medications. There is less grogginess, fewer side effects and reduced chance of nausea. 

  3. Cost-Effectiveness – The overall procedure cost is greatly reduced, due to minimizing a need for complex monitoring and an anesthetist that comes with a general anesthetic.    

  4. Increased Comfort & Convenience – Patients may remain awake, benefitting those who like to know what’s happening. With the option for light sedation if required, ensuring a less daunting experience, patients remain calm and relaxed, almost akin to a sleep-like state. 

  5. Minimal Downtime – Less medication in the body allows for a quicker return to daily activities, ideal for those with active lifestyles
