Mr David Johnson

Mr David Johnson BA (Cantab) MA (Cantab) BM BCh (Oxon) DM (Oxon) FRCS (Plast) is a Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Craniofacial Surgeon at The John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford.

MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY AND PRACTICE ETHOS

Whatever type of surgery you are pursuing, whether it is cosmetic or reconstructive, it is important that you know that first and foremost, your safety and wellbeing are my major priority.

I believe that in many circumstances, the techniques of plastic reconstructive surgery can complement those of cosmetic surgery to provide the best surgical results. That is why a fully trained and extremely experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon is the most ideal person to perform cosmetic surgery.

I believe that a thorough initial consultation and examination are essential to ensure that the correct operation is chosen and I endeavour to make sure that you, the patient, have realistic expectations about what surgery can achieve. I place a huge importance on aftercare following your surgery.

Together with my professional dedicated team, I will provide a compassionate caring and bespoke service for you.

MY QUALIFICATIONS and what they mean

BA (Cantab) Bachelor of Arts: This is the degree awarded by Cambridge University after 3 years of preclinical undergraduate studies which included a final year specialising in pathology.

MA (Cantab) Master of Arts: This is a further masters degree awarded by Cambridge University 1 year after graduation from medical training.

BM BCh (Oxon) Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery: This is the medical degree awarded by Oxford University after completion of 6 years at medical school and following rigorous medical exams. This is the degree that allows you to be called a Doctor.

DM (Oxon) Doctor of Medicine: This degree was awarded by Oxford University after submission of a thesis following 3 years of research into the human molecular genetics of children born with a rare craniofacial abnormality called craniosynostosis.

FRCS (Eng) Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England: This involves 2 major examination parts assessing all aspects of the science and practicalities of surgery. After this exam you go from being called Doctor to Mister.

FRCS (Plast) This is the final exam in Plastic Surgery which signifies completion of specialist surgical training. This qualification is required in order to be a consultant plastic surgeon. It is the most difficult exam of its kind in Europe and equivalent to being ‘Board Certified’ in the USA.

MY SURGICAL TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE

I graduated from St Catharine’s College, Cambridge University with a First Class Honours degree in Medical Sciences in 1989 and graduated from Christ Church, Oxford University in Clinical Medicine in 1992. I became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1996. I then undertook a three year degree researching into the molecular biology of craniosynostosis. I obtained a Doctor of Medicine Degree from Oxford University in 2001 and was awarded a Hunterian Professorship as recognition of my research by The Royal College of Surgeons of England.

My Plastic Surgery and cosmetic training took place in London, Salisbury, Oxford and Australia. I spent one year as a Senior Craniofacial Fellow at The Australian Craniofacial Unit in Adelaide before taking up my consultant post in Oxford in 2006. I have 15 years’ experience perfoming cosmetic surgery as a consultant.
