Mr Robert Warr is a successful and established consultant plastic and cosmetic surgeon who has been working in Bristol and Gloucestershire for 22 years. He has a strong independent profile across many platforms including Top Doctors and Doctify and prides himself on the very personal relationship he develops with his patients.
Robert understands that the goals and motivations for undergoing any cosmetic procedure may be complex and that him getting to know his patients is the key to success. You will find the consultation process relaxed, extremely informative and above all honest. It will be based on over twenty two years as a consultant providing both cosmetic surgical services and regularly reviewing patients for second opinions.
Robert knows that a successful outcome is not solely based surgical experience and skill but must also include the care you receive pre- and post-operatively. He works with excellent attentive teams in all hospitals believes that personal availability is an essential part of his success. Robert knows that his patients may have questions further down the line and so all follow up appointments, even many years later, are not charged for.

Robert was born and brought up in Bristol and holds undergraduate and postgraduate medical degrees from Southampton and Bristol University. Robert undertook his specialist plastic surgical training in London and Paris. Whilst in London he specialised in cosmetic, craniofacial and oculoplastic surgery at Chelsea and Westminster, Charing Cross and the Cromwell Hospitals. In Paris he spent nine months at the Institute Currie specialising in breast surgery. During this time Robert was comprehensively trained in the most advanced techniques in aesthetic surgery. Over the past 14 years as a consultant, Robert has built upon this foundation to gain extensive experience in all areas of aesthetic surgery.
Within the NHS, Robert has a broad specialist interest but much of his work is in complex breast surgery, abdominal and pelvic reconstruction and post weight loss surgery. In these regards, he operates regularly with the breast cancer teams at Southmead hospital and the colorectal and gynaecology teams at the Bristol Royal infirmary. When on call for trauma, his primary interest is in soft tissue facial and nasal trauma. It is a feature, therefore, that Robert can mirror his primary cosmetic interests of abdominoplasty, post weight loss surgery, rhinoplasty, breast cosmetic surgery and gynaecological surgery in his NHS work. This relatively unusual situation has resulted simply from a passion in these specific fields and a realisation that sub-specialisation is key to obtaining the best possible outcomes.
Robert has an extensive track record in publications and innovation. He is widely published and has supervised three PhDs. In 1995 Robert received the Royal College of Surgeons Patten and Masser award for his research into the molecular biology of Malignant Melanoma. Robert has spoken as invited guest at international conferences, most recently as a key note speaker in the Pan Asian International Breast Cancer Conference 2016. Robert is committed to training. He is a senior lecturer at Bristol University and runs a Royal College Recognised Surgical Training Course annually.
