I offer a full range of plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery including surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures, head and neck surgery, skin cancer surgery, sarcoma surgery and reconstruction.
Following my initial training in Maxillofacial Surgery in Birmingham, I went on to undertake a 12 month fellowship in Adelaide, at the internationally renowned Australian Craniofacial Unit and a further 12 month Fellowship in Head and Neck Oncology at The Royal Brisbane Hospital, Queensland. Here I gained advanced training in head and neck surgery and also complex skin cancers. I went on to complete my higher surgical training in Plastic Surgery in Leeds in 1996 and have trained throughout the Yorkshire region.
For the major part of my NHS appointment, I am the Lead Clinician for Sarcoma at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, and I am also Lead Clinician for Plastic Surgery. Carrying out all aspects of plastic and reconstructive surgery, I specialise in oncological surgery and reconstruction, including complex sarcoma surgery.

Mr Ian Smith is professional and reassuring with patients, explaining everything clearly. Many patients praise the excellent outcomes from various procedures, including Pinnaplasty and other cosmetic surgeries. Comprehensive care, before and after surgery, combined with high surgical skill, leads to superb results and enhanced patient confidence. Patients frequently seek Mr Smith for breast procedures, body contouring, and skin lesion removal.
Mr. Smith's advice, care and concern for me were exemplary throughout. A clear diagnosis and treatment plan were given and the subsequent surgical procedure, under local anaesthetic, followed very swiftly. The atmosphere in theatre was calm and soothing throughout. I cannot recommend Mr. Smith and his team too highly. Post operative care and follow up have been excellent.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We’re delighted to hear this. Wishing you continued good health, and please don’t hesitate to reach us if you need any further support.

I had hardly any pain and its healed incredibly well. The communication from his assistant jo was brilliant, replied to emails usually within the hour. Deffinatly would recommend spire care to anyone looking to go private. Ashley w
