What recent patients say
5.0 / 5 · 10 Google reviewsExcellent doctor. Very happy with my scar review surgery
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Sinclair Gore and couldn’t be happier with my breast augmentation :) I was thoroughly informed before my pre op so I knew exactly what I was going into. Dr Gore is incredibly knowledgeable and it’s clear that he’s passionate about what he does. I absolutely love my results and they look so natural !! It’s obvious he had my best interests at heart every step of the way. He helped me choose the right size for my body so that everything looks balanced and natural and not overdone. Also Post-op I was taken care of really well, with regular phone calls checking in on how I was doing which made the whole recovery process feel very reassuring :) I would highly recommend Dr. Sinclair Gore to anyone. His work is amazing, and I hope he never retires !! lol
I am delighted with the outcome of my surgery performed by Mr Gore, an experience distinguished by both clinical excellence and thoughtful patient care. From the outset, the pre-operative process was conducted with meticulous attention, ensuring that I possessed a clear, realistic and well-informed understanding of the procedure, its limitations, and anticipated outcomes. The results reflect not only technical precision but also a refined appreciation of proportion and the outcome aligns perfectly with what was discussed and hoped for. I am sincerely grateful for the professionalism, care and skill demonstrated throughout and would highly recommend Mr Gore to anyone considering surgery.
Mr Gore carried out a rhinoplasty for me and also fixed my deviated septum to help with breathing issues I experienced. He was honest from the start about what to expect. The procedure was more complicated than expected and I found the recovery quite rough, however Mr Gore was always on hand to answer any questions or concerns I had. The results have been great. My breathing issue is rectified and the after care I received was fantastic. Should I ever need another procedure I wouldn’t hesitate in returning to Mr Gore as although I was a very anxious patient he put me at ease and reassured me throughout.

Dr. Gore's Surgical Approach
Dr. Sinclair Gore approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the surface muscular layer rather than tightening the skin alone.
Dr. Sinclair Gore approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the surface muscular layer rather than tightening the skin alone. This technique targets the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and connective tissue that supports the face) as the true foundation of facial rejuvenation.
The deep plane method begins with careful sub-SMAS dissection. Instead of separating skin from the muscle below it, the surgeon releases the deeper structures as a single composite unit, allowing the tissues to be repositioned together in a more anatomically natural way.
