Dr. Theogren Balakrishnan

Dr. Balakrishnan is a GMC-licensed Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon with extensive consultant-level experience in both public and private healthcare systems. Having practised within the HSE in Ireland and in private specialist practice in South Africa, he has developed a strong foundation in both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.

His international surgical training includes three prestigious fellowships:

  • Advanced Microvascular Surgery – Taiwan
    Specialising in complex head and neck reconstruction.

  • Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – The Netherlands
    Focused on achieving both functional and aesthetic facial outcomes.

  • Aesthetic Surgery Fellowship – Switzerland
    Refining advanced cosmetic techniques with an emphasis on natural, balanced results.

This diverse training has enabled Dr. Balakrishnan to combine reconstructive precision with aesthetic artistry, delivering refined, natural-looking outcomes tailored to each patient.

He is committed to patient safety, meticulous surgical planning, and a personalised approach that prioritises realistic expectations and long-term satisfaction.

My approach is always patient-first—safe, evidence-based, and carefully tailored to achieve natural-looking results.

Education & Experience

Dr. Balakrishnan believes that aesthetic surgery should enhance natural harmony rather than create obvious change. His approach focuses on:

  • Careful anatomical assessment
  • Individualised treatment planning
  • Minimally invasive and tissue-respecting techniques
  • Safety-first surgical protocols
  • Clear communication and informed decision-making

His background in reconstructive surgery strengthens his attention to structural detail, balance, and proportion — key elements in achieving subtle and elegant aesthetic outcomes.
