About

Mr Jon Pleat is a plastic surgeon with a general interest in scarring, burns, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, but who also carries out cosmetic procedures such as breast reduction and abdominoplasty surgery.

His primary medical training was at Oxford University where he graduated with a First in 1995. Subsequently, he underwent his surgical training in six UK plastic surgery centres, as well as Australia, the United States, Taiwan and South Africa. His DPhil research degree focused on the causes and treatment of scarring which led to a number of awards including The ETRS Young Investigator Medal and the Duke of Kent Research Fellowship.

This interest culminated in his role as Director of Research for the burns and wound healing charity, Restore.

He is passionate about the prevention and treatment of scarring and believes in a scientific, holistic, team approach to ameliorating the problem.
