Professional statement

Mr James Wokes is a leading consultant plastic, reconstructive, head and neck, and aesthetic surgeon based in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear and Darlington. He specialises in breast augmentation, breast lift and breast reduction, alongside tummy tuck, blepharoplasty and face lifts. He privately practises at LASE CLINIC, Spire Washington Hospital and Woodlands Hospital. His NHS base is County Durham and the Darlington Foundation Trust.

Mr Wokes is highly qualified with an MB BS in Medicine and PGCert in Clinical Leadership from Newcastle University. Furthermore, after graduating from medical school with a distinction, he completed a decade of national and international plastic surgery training which culminated in being awarded the prestigious Ian McGregor Gold Medal for outstanding performance in his FRCS(Plast.) consultant examination in 2018. He also successfully completed the highly-coveted British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) Aesthetic Surgery fellowship.

On returning to the north-east as a consultant, Mr Wokes established his name in the field and complementary to his surgical expertise he has extensive non-surgical aesthetic experience. This allows for a multifaceted approach to his work and for him to provide bespoke, patient-centred consultations to those pursuing aesthetic procedures.

He is a plastic surgery trainee clinical supervisor and educational supervisor for Health Education North East, and is part of the national selection committee for plastic surgery specialist registrars.

Mr Wokes has had his work published in various peer-reviewed journals including the Aesthetic Surgery Journal. Alongside this, he's regularly invited to give presentations at national and international plastic surgery meetings in Europe and North America. He's also lead national webinars for the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons and the Plastic Surgery Trainees Association.
