Thank you so much for all the recent follows — it’s great to see so many new faces here, so I thought I’d do a quick introduction.

My name is Mr James Smith, and I’m a Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon based in York. I practise privately at Coppergate Clinic and also work within the NHS at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. I completed extensive specialist training in plastic surgery and I’m on the GMC Specialist Register for Plastic Surgery. My qualifications include MBChB (Hons), PGCME, MFSTEd and FRCS (Plast).

I offer a range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, including tummy tucks (abdominoplasty), breast surgery such as breast reduction and breast uplift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), body contouring after weight loss, and skin lesion or skin cancer surgery. My approach is always personalised, focusing on careful consultation, honest advice, and natural-looking results.

If you would like to book a consultation with me, please contact the friendly Reception team at Coppergate Clinic who will be happy to help with enquiries and appointment availability.

One of the most popular operations I perform here at Coppergate Clinic is body contouring, and in my latest podcast I talk all about it. From liposuction to advanced technologies like VESA and Renuvion, there are now more ways than ever to achieve natural, long-lasting results — with patient safety always at the heart of what I do.
In our conversation, I share insights from my recent training in 360 high-definition liposuction, which looks at the whole body rather than just one area to achieve balanced, harmonious results. I also explain the differences between traditional and VESA liposuction (which uses ultrasound for more precise fat removal) and how Renuvion can help tighten skin after fat reduction.
We also dive into the consultation process, setting realistic expectations, the importance of post-operative care, and the costs associated with these advanced technologies.

Another busy and rewarding day here at Coppergate Clinic.

One of the things I value most about my work is the variety of patients I see each day. From consultations for tummy tucks and breast reductions to eyelid surgery and other aesthetic procedures, every patient brings a different story, different goals, and different reasons for considering surgery.

No two consultations are ever the same — and that’s exactly how it should be. My role is to listen carefully, assess thoroughly, and provide honest, tailored advice so that each patient feels informed and confident in their decision-making.

Whether it’s body contouring, breast surgery the consultation is always the first and most important step.

If you would like to book a consultation with me, please contact the Reception team at Coppergate Clinic in York to enquire about current waiting times and availability.

BlepharoplastyUK

25/02/2026

One of my most popular procedures here at Coppergate Clinic is an upper blepharoplasty.

As we age, the delicate skin of the upper eyelids can become loose and heavy. This can create a tired appearance, reduce the visible lid space, and in some cases even interfere with vision. An upper blepharoplasty is a precise surgical procedure that removes excess skin (and occasionally small amounts of fat) from the upper eyelids to restore a fresher, more open eye appearance.

The goal is not to change how you look — but to help you look like a more refreshed version of yourself.

This procedure is typically performed as a day case, often under local anaesthetic, with a relatively straightforward recovery. Scars are carefully placed within the natural crease of the eyelid so they are discreet once healed.

Patients often tell me they feel brighter, less tired, and more confident after surgery — particularly in photographs or without makeup.

If you would like to book in for a consultation with me, please call the Coppergate Reception team and we can arrange an appointment to discuss whether upper blepharoplasty is right for you.

What is a Fleur-de-Lis (FDL) tummy tuck?

A Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty is an advanced tummy tuck technique designed to remove excessive, apron-like skin both horizontally and vertically. This approach allows for significantly greater skin tightening — particularly in patients who have experienced major weight loss — and often results in a much more defined, contoured waistline compared to a standard tummy tuck.

By addressing laxity in two directions, the FDL technique can improve excess skin through the central abdomen as well as the lower abdomen, where a traditional approach alone may not achieve optimal tightening.

I perform a large number of Fleur-de-Lis tummy tucks here at Coppergate Clinic in our fully equipped theatres. Every patient is assessed individually, and during your consultation we will discuss which type of tummy tuck — standard, extended, mini, or FDL — is most appropriate for your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.

As with all surgery, careful planning, scar discussion, recovery expectations and long-term outcomes are key parts of the consultation process.

If you would like to book a consultation with me, please call the Reception team at Coppergate Clinic and we can arrange a time to discuss which type of tummy tuck is right for you.

There are many different types of tummy tucks — and no two patients are ever the same.

As a Consultant Plastic Surgeon here in the UK at Coppergate Clinic, one of the most important parts of my job is helping you understand which procedure is right for you.

From a mini abdominoplasty to a full tummy tuck, extended techniques, muscle repair, or procedures combined with liposuction — each option is tailored to your anatomy, your goals, and your lifestyle.

During your consultation, we’ll go through everything in detail. I’ll assess your concerns, explain the differences between procedures, talk honestly about recovery, scars, and results — and together we’ll create a surgical plan that feels right and safe for you.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” in aesthetic surgery.
Every patient deserves a personalised approach.

If you’ve been considering a tummy tuck, the first step is simply a conversation.
