From practical advice for aspiring surgeons to candid reflections on mistakes made, Mr. Pacifico offers valuable guidance for anyone looking to build a successful career in aesthetic surgery.

 

Mr. Marc Pacifico, a renowned plastic surgeon and previous president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), is celebrated for his expertise in breast and facial plastic surgery. Certified by the Royal College of Surgeons of England, he specializes in facial rejuvenation procedures, including deep plane facelifts, neck lifts, and eyelid surgery. His breast surgery practice includes augmentations, reductions, and lifts, often combined with body contouring in "mummy makeovers." Known for his skill in revision breast surgery, Mr. Pacifico frequently receives referrals from colleagues to correct issues arising from previous surgeries. Committed to high standards, he prioritizes patient safety and offers honest assessments regarding surgical suitability.

 

Mr Marc Pacifico graduated from St. Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College and trained at prominent hospitals in London, culminating in specialist plastic surgery training at Charing Cross and Mount Vernon hospitals, where he also completed a doctorate on melanoma outcomes. His advanced training includes an aesthetic fellowship at the Melbourne Institute of Plastic Surgery, and he is a recipient of the prestigious Ian McGregor gold medal in the FRCS (Plast.) exam. In 2013, Marc founded Purity Bridge, a private clinic in Tunbridge Wells, where he emphasizes natural, refined results and a thorough pre- and post-operative care approach for optimal recovery. As an accredited member of BAAPS, BAPRAS, ISAPS, and an editor for Aesthetic Surgery Journal, he remains actively involved in advancing the field of aesthetic surgery.
