About
Mrs Aenone Harper Machin is a Consultant Plastic Surgeon specialising in skin cancer surgery, complex reconstruction and aesthetic plastic surgery.
She completed advanced fellowship training in Canada, gaining international experience in complex plastic and reconstructive surgery at leading specialist centres. This training shaped her meticulous, contemporary approach, combining technical precision with a focus on natural, functional and lasting results.
She has a particular interest in complex skin cancer surgery and melanoma, including sentinel lymph node biopsy, and has published research on using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence to improve the accuracy of melanoma surgery. She also specialises in complex head and neck reconstruction following cancer surgery, including published work on biodegradable temporising matrix (BTM), as well as facial paralysis reconstruction using nerve transfer and graft, and corneal neurotisation.
Alongside her cancer and reconstructive practice, Mrs Harper Machin undertakes aesthetic plastic surgery, particularly facial rejuvenation and breast surgery, aiming for refined, natural-looking results through careful assessment and individualised planning.
She has held professional roles including the Education Committee of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and three years on the BAPRAS Communications Committee.
Her combination of international training, specialist cancer expertise, advanced reconstructive experience and aesthetic practice gives patients a broad, highly specialised approach to modern plastic surgery. She believes excellent surgery begins with an informed patient and realistic expectations.
