Awards and Accolades

Our awards at a glance

Every award on this page was decided by an organisation outside Centre for Surgery, using its own judges, voting or data. We list each one with the year, the category and what it was for, and we link to the organisers so you can see how their awards work.

Aesthetics Awards finalist, 2025 and 2026

The Aesthetics Awards ↗ are run by the publishers of Aesthetics journal and describe themselves as the longest-standing awards ceremony in UK medical aesthetics. The 2026 awards drew more than 450 entries, and 850 guests attended the ceremony. Entries are shortlisted to a list of finalists, and the winners are decided by judging and voting.

Centre for Surgery was a finalist in 2025 and again in 2026. Reaching the final two years running matters to us more than a single night: it means our work held up to outside scrutiny in consecutive years.

Best Clinic London, finalist 2026

In 2026 we were one of the finalists for Best Clinic London, the category for clinics in the capital. The ceremony was held at the Hilton Park Lane on 14 March 2026. For us, the category covers everything that happens in our Baker Street hospital, from the first consultation to the final review.

Highly Commended: Best Surgical Result

Dr Michail Vourvachis, one of our specialist plastic surgeons, was Highly Commended in the SkinadeMD Surgical Programme Award for Best Surgical Result at the 2026 Aesthetics Awards. Dr Vourvachis carries out body and facial surgery at Centre for Surgery, including VASER liposuction, BodyTite and facial fat transfer.

Every result is different, and an award for one patient’s result is not a promise about yours. Your surgeon talks you through what is realistic for you at consultation, and you can see results from our own patients in our before and after gallery.

WhatClinic Patient Service Award 2026

WhatClinic ↗ is an independent website where patients search for clinics, contact them and leave reviews. Its awards, which have run since 2010, are not based on entries or on a panel’s opinion. They are based on WhatClinic’s own ServiceScore, which measures how clinics treat the people who contact them: how many enquiries they answer, how quickly they pick up the phone, how calls are rated, how complete their information is and what patients say in their reviews.

The score uses up to twelve months of data, so a clinic has to keep it up for a full year, and only around the top 5% of clinics in each market qualify. Paying for a premium listing makes no difference. We received the Patient Service Award in 2026, and WhatClinic service awards in 2019, 2020 and 2023 (you can see our 2019 award certificate). You can read our verified WhatClinic reviews ↗.

This award belongs to the people patients speak to first: the patient coordinators who answer your call, reply to your message and book your consultation. You can read what patients say about them in our patient reviews.

International Hospital Federation (IHF) Awards: finalist 2022

The IHF Awards ↗ are run by the International Hospital Federation, the global association of hospitals and healthcare organisations. They recognise hospital projects and programmes in categories including clinical quality and patient safety, and entries are scored by a panel of experienced healthcare leaders on their impact, innovation and scientific rigour. Entries must be endorsed by the hospital’s chief executive or chair.

Centre for Surgery was shortlisted as a finalist in the 2022 IHF Awards, which drew more than 400 entries from 35 countries and territories, with the winners announced at the 45th World Hospital Congress in Dubai. We entered again in 2026, alongside more than 750 entries from 38 countries and territories. For a single-site hospital in Marylebone, it means putting the way we work in front of an international panel and measuring it against hospitals around the world.

Awards are only part of the picture

An award tells you that an outside organisation looked at a clinic and liked what it saw. It does not replace the checks that every patient should make before surgery, and we would encourage you to make them with us as with anyone else:

• Regulation. We are a hospital regulated by the Care Quality Commission and rated Good overall by the CQC.
• Your surgeon. Check that your surgeon is on the GMC register, and on the Specialist Register for plastic surgery where that matters to you. Our guide to choosing a plastic surgeon shows you how, and you can meet our team.
• Outcomes. We publish our infection, revision and complaint figures each year in our clinical outcomes and patient safety report, and our data is also published independently by PHIN ↗.
• Honest information. Our patient articles are medically reviewed, as our editorial policy explains, and every consultation covers the option not to have treatment.

Whether you are considering cosmetic surgery or a skin or aesthetic treatment, the best way to judge us is to come and meet us. Request a consultation and our patient coordinators will find you the next available appointment.
