UK trained consultant surgeon, GMC registered. Dual nationally recognised fellowships in Head and Neck Surgery and Craniofacial Surgery.
A practice dedicated entirely to the face
Specialist expertise. Considered judgement. An individual approach to every face.
The face is central to how we recognise ourselves and how we express who we are. Its surgery demands an understanding of both the underlying anatomy and the subtle relationships that give each person their distinctive appearance.
Mr Mattine's practice focuses exclusively on facial surgery. His training spans the facial skeleton, soft tissues and complex reconstruction, providing a broad perspective on aesthetic concerns. This allows him to consider more than the feature a patient initially wishes to change. The relationship between the nose and chin, the support of the cheeks, and the transition from the jawline to the neck may all influence the most appropriate treatment.
Mr Samuel Mattine combines extensive experience in aesthetic facial surgery with advanced training in craniofacial and complex reconstructive surgery. This breadth of expertise informs his work across both primary and revision procedures.
Education and surgical training
Mr Mattine graduated from Birmingham Medical School before undertaking surgical training in general, vascular, trauma and orthopaedic, and breast surgery. He subsequently gained experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery in the West Midlands.
He went on to undertake specialist higher surgical training in Maxillofacial and Head and Neck Surgery in the North West, successfully completing the intercollegiate Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons examination. This broad foundation was followed by advanced fellowship and subspecialty training in the UK and France.
Advanced fellowships and international experience
Trained where the techniques were developed.
Paris
Craniofacial surgery
Mr Mattine was awarded the European Association for Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery Leibinger Prize and the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons travelling fellowship. These enabled a craniofacial fellowship at Necker Hospital in Paris, where he further developed his expertise in craniofacial surgery and advanced aesthetic and reconstructive techniques.
East Grinstead
Head and neck reconstruction
On returning to the UK, he was selected for one of seven nationally awarded advanced interface fellowships in Head and Neck and Reconstructive Microvascular Surgery, undertaken at Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead. This highly competitive fellowship developed his experience in complex reconstruction, including microsurgical techniques.
France and the Far East
Further specialist training
Mr Mattine also undertook subspecialty training in facial reanimation and total ear reconstruction with leading surgeons in France. His wider international surgical experience includes Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong, broadening his exposure to different approaches to facial surgery.
Experience and leadership
Leadership in NHS reconstructive surgery
Clinical leadership
During his NHS career, Mr Mattine led complex reconstructive microvascular surgery and played a key role in developing head and neck cancer services.
Advancing surgical care
He introduced advanced facial procedures, including several performed for the first time at his hospital, alongside new technologies and technical developments aimed at improving care and reducing complications.
Reconstructive expertise
This work required the restoration of appearance and function in patients with substantial surgical needs. It continues to inform his attention to tissue handling, anatomical detail and surgical planning, particularly in complex and revision facial surgery.
The results
Surgery is ultimately judged not by its description, but by what it achieves.

Recognition and education
International reputation. A commitment to teaching.
Mr Mattine's international reputation in facial surgery is reflected in invitations to lecture, demonstrate his techniques and teach fellow surgeons around the world. He has served as invited faculty at the Paris Face course, the Istanbul Facial Plastic Surgery Master Course and the Gent Facelift workshop in Belgium. His teaching includes deep plane facelift surgery and his approaches to the chin, jawline and anterior neck.
He has trained specialist surgeons in the UK and internationally, served as Educational Supervisor in Worcester and Hereford, and examined medical students at the University of Birmingham Medical School. He also reviews submissions for international peer reviewed surgical journals.
Surgical innovation
Pioneering techniques. Better patient outcomes.
Innovation in Mr Mattine's practice has a clear purpose: to pursue better aesthetic results, a better surgical experience and greater patient satisfaction. He has developed and introduced surgical techniques and refinements in facial rejuvenation and contouring, sharing his approaches with colleagues at international surgical meetings.
His Comprehensive Designer Facelift brings together this work in a personalised approach to the midface, lower face and neck. His innovations also extend to chin and anterior neck aesthetics, combining skeletal contouring, soft tissue techniques and bespoke implants where appropriate.
A personal message
“Choosing facial surgery is a personal decision. Before discussing a procedure, I want to understand what has brought you to see me, what you would like to change, and what you wish to preserve.
My role is to bring experience, judgement and attention to detail to that conversation, to explain the possibilities honestly and help you make an informed choice. I believe the most successful results respect the individuality of a face.
Throughout that process, you can expect my personal involvement, clear advice and considered care.
