Dr Darren McKeown has been practicing aesthetic medicine since 2006. He entered the sub-specialty full-time after initial training in plastic surgery when he decided he preferred the long-term relationship he can develop with patients in non-surgical practice, treating patients over a number of years to help them restore the physical health of their skin as well as the psychological wellbeing.

Dr McKeown’s surgical training in anatomy helps him to achieve extremely natural outcomes for his patients, focusing on restoring that which has been lost rather than trying to create something that never existed in nature. He has a strong academic background and has published a number of papers in the peer reviewed literature and he has won a number of awards for his papers, including the BCAM research award. He is passionate about the importance of new research in driving the evidence basis of the practice of aesthetic medicine forward.
