Questions people ask
How long is the NHS waiting list for plastic surgery?
It depends on the hospital. In August 2026, at a typical hospital half of the people treated for plastic surgery had waited under 9 weeks. The shortest treated wait in England was at UHNM (Royal Stoke and County Hospital), where half were treated within 2 weeks. The table above covers every provider with figures.
Is the plastic surgery waiting list getting shorter?
Every hospital page for plastic surgery on this site has a trend chart covering up to 24 months of NHS England figures, so you can see whether the wait at that hospital is rising or falling. National figures are updated about two months after each month ends.
What does plastic surgery cover?
Plastic surgery: skin cancer surgery, hand surgery, reconstruction. NHS England collects waiting times by specialty, not by operation, so a knee replacement and a fracture clinic appointment sit in the same figure.
