About Mr Matt Venus

I believe in providing a friendly, approachable service in which you’re actively involved in every aspect of your care.

Training and experience

I qualified as a doctor from the London Hospital Medical School in 1997 and as a surgeon in 2001. My specialist plastic surgery training was centred in the Midlands, but took in units across the country, including Nottingham, Stevenage, Bedford, Birmingham, Oxford, Derby and Durham. It included a dedicated surgical fellowship in cosmetic plastic surgery.

I’ve developed sub-specialist interests in aesthetic surgery, body contouring for people who have lost a large amount of weight, and hand surgery. I’ve published articles on a wide range of surgical topics, including several papers in aesthetic, reconstructive and hand surgery.

My NHS practice is at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire, where I was clinical lead for the Department of Plastic Surgery for six years, from 2015 to 2021.

Clinical interests

• Cosmetic surgery, including breast reduction, breast augmentation, breast uplift, abdominoplasty, liposuction and labiaplasty
• Body contouring after weight loss or bariatric surgery, including fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty, circumferential body lifting, arm reduction and thigh lifts
• Removal of moles, skin lesions and skin cancers, including reconstruction with skin grafts and local flaps
• Minimally invasive hand surgery, including needle fasciotomy for Dupuytren’s disease and endoscopic carpal tunnel release

Qualifications and memberships

• MBBS (London), MRCS (England), FRCS (Plastic Surgery)
