About

Deep plane facelift surgery and advanced facial rejuvenation define the clinical focus of Dr. Christopher West, a plastic surgeon offering consultations in York and Leeds in the United Kingdom. As of October 2026, DeepPlane.com lists Dr. West among surgeons whose practice centres on surgery of the face and neck.

Dr. Christopher West is a consultant plastic surgeon practising in the north of England, with a clinical emphasis on the deep plane face and neck lift. The practice describes this as lifting the face from beneath the muscle layer, rather than tightening skin alone.

Read more ▾

The deep plane facelift is a technique that repositions the deeper tissues of the face in a single, supported layer. Dr. West applies this approach as part of a broader menu of facial surgery documented on the practice website.

According to the practice, Dr. West sees patients at The Coppergate Clinic in York and at Spire Leeds Hospital. These two locations anchor the surgeon's consulting and operating work across Yorkshire.

The practice website lists a focused range of facial procedures performed by Dr. West. These include the deep plane face and neck lift, a standalone neck lift, revision face and neck lift, and the short scar facelift.

Beyond the face and neck, the practice records that Dr. West offers upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), facial fat grafting, a lip lift, brow lift, ear pinning, and CO2 laser resurfacing. This breadth allows a treatment plan to be shaped around each patient's anatomy.

Facial aging is treated by Dr. West as a layered process rather than a surface one. The deep plane method addresses the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, the sheet of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin) directly.

The practice also lists breast and body procedures under Dr. West's care, including breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, implant exchange, abdominoplasty, liposuction, and arm lift. Facial rejuvenation, however, remains the described centre of the surgeon's work.

Dr. West's stated approach emphasises tissue repositioning over tension on the skin. This philosophy is reflected in the practice's educational material on the anatomy of ageing and the anatomy of a facelift.

Recovery is treated as part of the surgical plan by the practice, which publishes guidance on what healing looks like after facial surgery. Patients are given a sense of the swelling and bruising phase and the gradual return to normal appearance.

The practice presents before and after photography and a comparison tool so prospective patients can study real outcomes. This visual record supports the consultation process for those considering surgery.

Consultations with Dr. West take place in York and Leeds, two cities within comfortable reach of much of the UK and beyond. The practice provides guidance for visiting surgeons and for patients travelling to attend.

Dr. West maintains an Instagram presence at @mrchristopherwest, where facial surgery content is shared. Social media offers an additional window into the surgeon's work for those researching options.

Patients researching Dr. Christopher West will find a practice organised around clarity: defined procedures, published anatomy education, and visible results. DeepPlane.com presents this profile to help you compare deep plane facelift surgeons and plan your enquiry.

For those focused specifically on the deep plane technique, Dr. West's described specialisation in surgery of the face and neck places this practice within a defined niche of facial rejuvenation across York and Leeds.

August 2026 I had DPFL-Neck, brow lift, CO2 and fat transfer, seems a lot but the results so far are brilliant. In 8 weeks I think, very happy. Mr West is factual, straightforward, and has integrity. I spent a lot of time looking at London drs but chose to come way up north for this and it was 100% the right choice. My skin looks better than when I was 20, my neck is so great I don't have to wear high neck things and I like who is looking at me in the mirror, oh and my eye brows now match...they were uneven before. Altogether, a much better me, a great experience at Coppergate with the whole team, inc the reception team who move appts around. Anaesthetics were also straightforward and I was day case. I will come back here if I want to get more co2 done as well. Excellent, probably the best private hospital I have used and that includes Welbeck in London!

Mr West was recommended to me by my skin therapist and I’m so glad she did. I did see another surgeon prior to Mr West and the experiences were night and day so walking in I was a little apprehensive. Mr West was friendly, professional and knowledgeable from the outset. I immediately felt at ease discussing my concerns and potential solutions. He took the time to listen and offered me two solutions whilst also making his professional recommendation. Once I’d decided to go ahead, communication with his brilliant secretary was easy and efficient. On the day of surgery, the care was second to none. I was always confident I’d picked the right surgeon and the results speak for themselves. I couldn’t be more delighted with the outcome and the after care. I’d recommend Mr West in a heartbeat (in fact I already have) and I’m already in discussions about another procedure.

20 weeks ago, I had a deep plane face and neck lift, lip lift and fat transfer with Mr Chris West — and to say I’m delighted with my outcome would be a huge understatement. I deliberately waited until now to write my review because I wanted to give my face time to heal and settle, and for my review to reflect more of the final result. I spent close to two years researching techniques and surgeons before I reached out to Chris West. I had very specific concerns and, during my consultation, I immediately felt that I was being listened to and understood. There was no arrogance, no boasting and no unrealistic promises — just a wealth of knowledge and a very clear understanding of what could realistically be achieved for me. Chris is a down to earth, straight-talking chap, and I felt completely at ease in his company. By the end of my consultation, I knew there was no other surgeon I wanted to carry out my surgery. The results have been everything I hoped for and more. I feel as though I have my younger, more confident self back. I no longer look tired or heavy-faced; instead, I look refreshed, rested and alive again — exactly what I asked Chris for. At 53, I genuinely feel that Chris has given me a reset. He hasn’t made me look like a different person; I am still me, just a fresher, happier and more youthful version of myself. The one I want to see looking back at me in the mirror, the one I remember from years ago. That was incredibly important to me, and I’m so grateful that he understood exactly what I wanted. I honestly can’t thank Chris enough. His knowledge, skill, attention to detail and wonderful bedside manner really do set him apart. I had my surgery at Spire Leeds Hospital, and I also want to mention the amazing staff there. From start to finish, I was treated with such care, compassion and respect. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and I felt genuinely looked after throughout my stay. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mr Chris West. Choosing to have any plastic surgery is a huge decision, and after nearly two years of research, I can honestly say that choosing Chris was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thank you, Chris, for giving me back the reflection I felt I had lost — and, more importantly, for giving me back my confidence. I couldn’t be happier with my result. I’ve attached photos: 1. 1 day pre op and 3 days post op - no make up. 2. 3 days pre op and 20 weeks post op - with make up.

As we get older, our reflection doesn't seem the same as the person we feel we are from within. Taking that 1st step to do something about it can be quite scary, after all, your face is how you are perceived. Seeing Mr Christopher West, the doubt disappeared, to be replaced by confidence in his skills to be able to help. At the end of last year I had lower eyes done at copperplate, then booked a deep plane face and neck lift for June this year, both by Chris West. I've been amazed by the results from both. An American friend said to me some time ago " better new face from old car than old face from new" and I've worked on that philosophy. I chose the right surgeon to help me achieve my goals, Mr Christopher West, not just a great surgeon but a lovely bloke too. A surprising fact is that I have had no pain and was out and about within 2 weeks. A big help when you have a busy life. A very big thank you to Mr Christopher West and the teams at Spire Leeds and Copperplate York, you've been brilliant!!!
