About your surgeon
Chris McDonald | Consultant Head & Neck Surgeon (Oral & Maxillofacial)
Expert surgical care for the face, mouth, and neck in Aberdeen.
Facing a condition of the head or neck requires a surgeon with unique expertise and understanding. Mr. Chris McDonald provides compassionate, expert care, drawing on over 20 years of dedicated study and surgical practice in this complex field.
​
A Unique, Dual-Qualified Background
Mr. McDonald’s approach is built on a rare foundation: he is dual-qualified in both dentistry and medicine. This gives him a profound understanding of the entire facial structure, from the bones and joints to the soft tissues. He completed his advanced surgical training at the world-renowned Liverpool Head and Neck Centre, bringing a wealth of experience back to his native Aberdeen.
​
Expertise in Complex NHS Care & Cutting-Edge Innovation
As a Consultant Surgeon at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, his NHS practice focuses on the most complex cases, including the surgical removal and reconstruction of cancers, and the management of major facial trauma in adults and children. Driven by a commitment to better patient outcomes, he actively researches ways to minimise surgical side effects and introduced robotic head and neck surgery to the North of Scotland.
​
A Dedicated Aesthetic Practice
This same principle of precision and minimal recovery guides his facial aesthetic practice. He is proud to offer advanced, less invasive treatments such as MyEllevate neck lifts, laser liposuction, and fat transfer. His specialist background in facial bone surgery also makes him one of the few surgeons in Scotland able to perform sophisticated chin and jawline reshaping procedures.
​
Committed to Excellence & Teaching
Mr. McDonald is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and an active member of several leading national and international surgical associations. He is regularly invited to teach and lecture on head and neck surgery, both across the UK and internationally.
