Professional statement

Ms Monica Fawzy is a renowned consultant plastic surgeon with a private practice based in central London. She specialises in facial rejuvenation procedures (such as face/necklift, facial fat transfer, blepharoplasty, lip lift) and facial reanimation for facial paralysis.  

Her professional journey includes teaching anatomy at the University of Oxford and Guys Hospital, as well as training in various surgical specialties. She became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons in 2006 and pursued specialised training in Plastic Surgery in the East of England. This was complemented by fellowships in craniofacial and aesthetic surgery in Paris, followed by microsurgery in Cambridge. After completing formal training in 2015 and joining the GMC Specialist Register in Plastic Surgery, she expanded her expertise through visits to centres in Europe and the USA.

Monica currently practices reconstructive surgery within the NHS, focusing on head and neck microsurgical reconstruction and facial palsy. She has held leadership roles in patient safety and governance, serving as deputy program director and educational director of the post-graduate training scheme for plastic surgeons in the East of England. Additionally, she authored a popular textbook for trainee plastic surgeons and joined the national team of examiners for the final plastic surgery FRCS (Plast) exam.

Passionate about extending training opportunities globally, Monica has collaborated with surgical charities. She has been actively involved in the leadership team of organisations such as the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS), the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). 

In her private practice, Monica primarily focuses on facial rejuvenation surgery and facial palsy reanimation. Offering a comprehensive range of procedures, she tailors surgical plans to achieve natural results, considering each patient's unique facial identity. Her approach involves thorough consultations, during which she listens to concerns and assesses medical, personal, and work circumstances. Surgery is recommended only when she is certain that the patient is a suitable candidate, both physically and psychologically, ensuring they are fully informed about the associated benefits and risks. This commitment to personalised care underscores her dedication to preserving each individual's distinct facial identity.
