Éilís Fitzgerald - Plastic Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon Éilís Fitzgerald FRCSI (Plast)
Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon
Practicing at Beacon Hospital & Beacon Consultants Clinic Dublin 18

Ms Éilís Fitzgerald MB BAO MCh MSc BTEC (Laser) FFSEM FRCSI (Plast)

Consultant plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon

Practicing at the Beacon Hospital, Dublin 18. My approach centres on providing individualised, ethical, effective treatments to my patients. As I work full-time in the private sector, without commitments elsewhere, I am in a position to offer a high level of personalised care. My goal is always to provide the level of service that I would be impressed to receive as a patient. I realise that when someone chooses me as their surgeon, they are placing their trust in me, and I take the responsibility that this confers very seriously. Clear communication, a collaborative approach to decision making, and commitment to long-term follow-up are just some of my guiding principles. I see patients for cosmetic, reconstructive, and laser surgery. I also offer minimally-invasive and non-surgical treatments. You can find more information on the treatments I offer by browsing the sections above. I have received formal, recognised training in all aspects of my speciality, including time spent on internationally-recognised fellowship programmes in the UK and the Netherlands gaining experience and qualifications in aesthetic surgery and lasers. I am the only plastic surgeon practicing in Ireland who has undergone such extensive training in medical lasers. I have undertaken this level of training to allow me to offer the best care to my patients, and will never offer to perform a procedure that I do not believe in. This page and my website are not intended to replace a face-to-face consultation, but rather to provide you with some knowledge to use as a starting-point in your decision-making process. For any given procedure, the information provided may not be relevant to you, and personalised advice should always supersede general information obtained online. Please do get in touch with any queries, and we will do our best to help you.

Breast asymmetry is normal - to some degree, it is present in every single woman I see for breast surgery. In this woman’s case, there was a significant difference between the two sides. When significant, it tends to compound the difficulties women with larger breasts already experience, in trying to get bras and clothing to fit well. When performing a breast reduction surgery, the focus is always on what we leave behind - not what we take away. In this case, a significant improvement in symmetry was achieved. The patient also experienced a significant improvement in her shoulder, neck, and back pain. The breasts were lifted and reshaped as part of the surgery, and the difference between the photos at two and six weeks post-op shows the way in which the shape softens and settles, as healing progresses.

Following on from recent posts/ conversations with Laura Dowling and Dr. Laura Lenihan MICGP | Skin Doctor - I thought it would be worthwhile to share this article. It’s part of the baaps supplement to the which was published last year. My contribution was to the article on but my colleagues Reza Nassab and Mark Ho-Asjoe | London Plastic Surgeon wrote a comprehensive article on the health benefits of aesthetic breast surgery. When it comes to there is substantial evidence for health benefits across physical, psychological, and quality of life. It’s open access, so if you want to read more, you can find the PDF by googling aesthetic surgery journal health benefits breast surgery. Were you aware of the potential health benefits of this operation?

Like all surgical procedures, breast reduction carries risk and individual results vary. If this is a procedure you are considering, the best first step, is to speak with your GP, followed by a consultation with a consultant plastic surgeon (with the FRCSI(Plast) qualification), and an established practice focussed on this type of surgery, to learn what the reality of surgery might look like for you.

If doing “Cobra” with aplomb isn’t a good result from a - I don’t know what is. We received this beautiful letter from one of our patients the other day, and to say it put a smile on our faces (& I’m not going to lie - a tear to the eye), is an understatement. This is an operation we know is proven to positively impact women’s quality of life, but hearing just how - and the obvious joy in this woman’s words, is a delight 🥰
The patient’s words have been transcribed to protect her privacy, but are otherwise unaltered.

Ms Fitzgerald is a consultant plastic, reconstructive, & aesthetic surgeon, working at the Beacon Hospital and the Surgical Institute Dublin.

She grew up in Co. Dublin, attending Holy Child Killiney, and subsequently studying medicine at University College Dublin. As an undergraduate, she was awarded the Harry Hynes scholarship, completing an elective in trauma surgery and oncology in Wichita, Kansas. In her Res year, she was the winner of the Student Prize in Anaesthesia, a fact she enjoys sharing with her anaesthesiology colleagues to this day.

Having graduated with a 2.1 degree, Éilís completed her intern year at St. Vincent’s University Hospital. She undertook her Basic Surgical Training at Tallaght University Hospital, achieving her Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons during that time. In 2004, and with the encouragement of Mr. Sean Tierney, who was a wonderful mentor and a true feminist to his core, she undertook her first role in plastic surgery, at Beaumont Hospital. Éilís was drawn to the speciality because of the variety of the caseload, the requirement for technical excellence, and the visual and artistic aspects of the work. Working under the excellent mentorship of Mr. Brian Kneafsey, it became clear that she had taken the definitive step in her career, and from that point forward, her focus was on pursuing a career in plastic surgery. To that end, she completed a Masters in Surgery at RCSI. Her research, which focused on chronic wound healing, was awarded the Poster Prize at the Sir Peter Freyer meeting.

Sometimes, the simplest of procedures, can have a very significant impact on a patient. This young woman had been bothered by a white lump on her lower lip for a number of years. Although benign, lesions like this can be really bothersome to patients & the decision to replace the lesion with a scar, is the right one for that person. The surgical markings are made to ensure that there is no mismatch of the vermilion border of the lip, and the scar is placed radially (from the inside to out), to avoid any thinning of the lip. The procedure is straightforward, taking about 15 minutes under local anaesthetic, with stitches removed a week later. After a month, the scar is inconspicuous at conversational distance, and the most noticeable thing about this patient’s mouth is her beautiful lip shape - which is all natural & for which I can take no credit!

Also known as , this procedure is designed to lift and reshape the breasts.
Whether as a result of ageing, weight loss, or pregnancy & breastfeeding, droopy breasts have a significant impact on the balance and proportions of the torso. Depending on the current and desired breast volume, this is a procedure that may involve the use of implants to add volume, or removal of breast tissue, to reduce volume (as was done in this case). Sometimes, where a woman is quite happy with the size, but not the shape, of her breasts, only a small amount of breast tissue and skin, requires to be removed, and the focus is entirely on reshaping the tissues.
At eight weeks post-op, my gorgeous patient is delighted with her result: the scars will settle and the slight tightening in the lower pole, visible in these pictures, will round out to give an even more natural contour.
