Research and Innovation

The Clinic was established in 2004 as the first specialist aesthetic Clinic in the UK, offering both surgical and non-surgical treatment under one roof.

Our founders have introduced everything from liposuction to microsurgery, aesthetic lasers and regenerative medicine into the mainstream, creating an international reputation that allows us to lead the way for the sector since 2004.

The Clinic is a plastic surgery centre of medical excellence, producing research, pioneering treatments and delivering training in the field of aesthetic and dermatological medicine.

Pioneering techniques and technology

A defining factor of our industry leadership is our dedication to regenerative surgery and medicine. We introduced Stemform, the UK’s first ex vivo stem cell breast surgery, revolutionising natural breast augmentation through the use of a patient’s own fat and stem cells. Alongside this, Uvence, a groundbreaking nano-fat injectable treatment, represents another industry first, providing personalised cosmetic solutions with remarkable results.

Research & Development Projects

Cadogan Clinic undertakes a number of research and development projects each year, mostly in the fields of plastic surgery and dermatology

A selection of these projects include:

Design and implementation of a novel, multi-faceted surgical strategy for Brazilian abdominoplasty which significantly mitigates surgical complications in addition to facilitating the capacity to simultaneously translocate adipose tissue for additional, autologous aesthetic enhancement
Development of a mechanical stem cell harvesting and fat grafting protocol for significantly enhanced skin rejuvenation and restorative treatments
Systematic investigation into mole mapping for the development of the first dermatology led, robust dermatoscopic mole mapping methodology for significantly enhanced melanoma diagnosis leading to improved prognosis
Investigation into medical rhinoplasty for the development of a non-invasive surgical technique which incorporates the injection of filler as opposed to complete reconstruction of the nasal cartilage
Development and implementation of a streamlined, clinical care pathway for improved compliance, patient safety, and scar management
Development of a non-implant breast surgery technique which achieves high-quality clinical outcomes whilst enhancing clinical care and safety
Utilisation of Lasers with Surgical Procedures for Improved Outcomes
Creation of Super Enriched Adipose-derived Tissue product to provide personalised on demand cosmetic medicine
Development of a group of Surgical & Non-surgical combination treatment protocol - a. Pan-facial multi-modal rejuvenation: Development of new treatment protocol to combining the use of autologous fat, SVF, PRP/PRF and RF in aesthetic surgery
