About Mr. Onur Gilleard

Mr. Onur Gilleard is on the GMC specialist register in Plastic Surgery—the highest level of medical registration in the UK. He completed his specialist training at Imperial College London and major London teaching hospitals, subsequently holding an NHS consultant plastic surgeon post at St Bartholomew’s Hospital London, where he specialized in skin cancer surgery and microsurgical reconstruction.

Being on the GMC specialist register confirms completion of rigorous specialist training (typically 6+ years after basic medical qualification), passing demanding specialist examinations, and ongoing professional development. This is the gold standard credential for plastic surgeons in the UK.

Mr. Gilleard specializes in minor skin surgery and lesion removal procedures including:

• Mole removal: Excision of benign and atypical moles with histological examination
• Cyst removal: Surgical excision of sebaceous, epidermoid, and pilar cysts
• Lipoma removal: Complete excision of fatty lumps
• Skin tag removal: Multiple removal methods available
• Wart removal: Surgical and non-surgical treatment options
• Lesion removal: Various benign skin growths
• Scar revision: Improvement of existing scars
• Eyelid cyst removal: Specialized chalazion treatment

His background in skin cancer surgery and microsurgical reconstruction ensures expert technique and optimal cosmetic outcomes for all procedures.

Mr. Gilleard completed his specialist plastic surgery training at Imperial College London and major London teaching hospitals. This comprehensive training program included rotations across multiple specialties within plastic surgery: reconstructive surgery, aesthetic surgery, hand surgery, burns, and microsurgery.

Following completion of training and GMC specialist registration, he was appointed as an NHS consultant plastic surgeon at St Bartholomew’s Hospital London, one of the UK’s most prestigious teaching hospitals. In this role, he specialized in skin cancer surgery and complex microsurgical reconstruction.

In 2021, he transitioned to full-time private practice to focus exclusively on providing personalized patient care without NHS constraints.

Yes, Mr. Onur Gilleard is on the GMC (General Medical Council) specialist register in Plastic Surgery. This is the highest level of medical registration in the UK and represents the gold standard for plastic surgeons.

GMC specialist registration requires:

• Completion of rigorous specialist training (minimum 6 years post-medical school)
• Passing demanding specialist examinations
• Demonstrating high standards of clinical practice
• Ongoing professional development and revalidation

Patients can verify any doctor’s GMC registration at www.gmc-uk.org by searching the medical register. Always check that your surgeon is GMC registered before proceeding with any treatment.

In 2021, Mr. Gilleard made the decision to transition from NHS consultant practice to full-time private practice. This move was motivated by a desire to provide the highest quality patient care without the constraints that increasingly affect NHS services:

• Time Pressures: NHS clinics often run to tight schedules, limiting consultation time. Private practice allows adequate time with each patient.
• Waiting Lists: NHS patients face months-long waits for minor procedures. Private practice offers same-day treatment when appropriate.
• Patient Choice: Many benign conditions aren’t treated on the NHS (considered “cosmetic”). Private practice removes these restrictions.
• Personalized Care: Ability to provide individualized attention and follow-up without systemic constraints.

This transition allows Mr. Gilleard to maintain the clinical excellence of his NHS consultant career while providing a better patient experience through private practice.

Consultation fees are included in the treatment cost—there is no separate consultation charge. When you book an appointment with Mr. Gilleard, you’ll have a comprehensive consultation where he examines your concern, discusses treatment options, and answers all your questions.

If you decide to proceed with treatment, this can often be performed the same day (if appropriate and you’re comfortable doing so). The treatment price includes the consultation, procedure, local anaesthetic, any necessary follow-up, and aftercare support.

Example pricing:

• Mole removal: £350 (includes consultation and histology)
• Cyst removal: £350 (includes consultation)
• Lipoma removal: £400 (includes consultation)
• Skin tag removal: £200 (includes consultation)

This transparent pricing means you know the total cost upfront—no hidden consultation fees or surprise charges.

Yes, same-day treatment is often available and encouraged when appropriate. During your consultation, Mr. Gilleard will examine your concern, explain the recommended treatment, and discuss expected outcomes. If you’re comfortable proceeding and there are no medical contraindications, the procedure can typically be performed immediately.

Benefits of same-day treatment:

• No anxious waiting period between consultation and procedure
• Single journey to Harley Street rather than multiple trips
• Immediate resolution of your concern
• More convenient and efficient use of your time

Alternatively, if you prefer time to consider your options or need to schedule around other commitments, we can arrange your procedure for a later date. The choice is entirely yours—Mr. Gilleard will never pressure you to proceed before you’re ready.

Several factors distinguish Mr. Gilleard’s practice:

• Consultant-Level for All Procedures: Many clinics use GPs, nurse practitioners, or junior doctors for minor surgery. Mr. Gilleard personally performs every procedure with consultant plastic surgeon expertise.
• Specialist Training Background: His training in skin cancer surgery and microsurgical reconstruction provides skills that translate to superior outcomes even for routine procedures.
• Teaching Hospital Standards: Maintains the exacting standards of major London teaching hospitals in private practice setting.
• Former NHS Consultant: Proven track record at consultant level in NHS before transitioning to private practice—not a cosmetic practitioner without NHS background.
• Unhurried Care: Adequate time for thorough consultation and careful surgical technique without time pressures.
• Honest Communication: Realistic expectations about outcomes, scarring, and recovery—no over-promising.

Essentially, you receive the same level of expertise as you would from an NHS consultant at a major teaching hospital, but with private practice advantages: immediate access, same-day treatment, and personalized care.
