Professional Profile

Mat Griffiths was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, before being brought up in Hampshire, UK, where he was educated at Portsmouth Grammar School. He spent a gap year in the Antipodes before returning to study medicine at The Royal London. After intercalating a BMedSci in 1995, he graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) in 1996 and spent five years in surgical rotations across London and Essex.

Mat went on to complete two years of research at The Centre for Cutaneous Research at The Royal London, earning his Doctorate (MD). This led to his acceptance onto the PanThames Plastic Surgery Programme, a six-year specialist training rotation across leading hospitals in London and Essex, alongside visits to internationally recognised plastic surgeons in New York and Munich. He is a Board Certified plastic surgeon and is certified by the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He is also a member of the GMC, the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, the British Burns Association, and the Royal Society of Medicine.

Now married with three children and living in Essex, Mat has been a substantive consultant plastic surgeon since 2009.

Within the NHS, Mat has a sub-speciality interest in breast surgery, particularly breast reconstruction following cancer treatment. His work often involves advanced microsurgical techniques, including the transfer of tissue from the abdomen to the chest. He also treats congenital breast conditions, asymmetry and macromastia.

In the private sector, Mat specialises in all aspects of breast surgery, including augmentation, uplift and reduction procedures, complementing his NHS practice. He also performs a range of cosmetic procedures such as abdominoplasty and liposuction, while not offering facelifts or rhinoplasty.
