Meet Dr. Harley
16 Years in Practice Oliver Harley is a GMC registered specialist Plastic Surgeon, fellowship trained with over 20 years experience. He specializes in Cosmetic Plastic Surgery and he has membership of BAPRAS, BAAPS and UKAAPS. He works mostly at The McIndoe Centre, Sussex UK offering a full range of cosmetic surgery procedures for face, nose, ears, breast, tummy and body. "My most commonly performed procedures are Breast Implant / lift / reduction surgeries, Tummy Tuck and Lipoabdominoplasty, Face-lift and Neck-lift, blepharoplasty.
Clinic is in East Grinstead, Sussex. We find that it is unrealistic and impractical for patients to travel more than maybe a couple of hours for appointments and treatment especially if treatment or recovery turns out to be complex - please do go ahead with your enquiry if you live in Sussex, Surrey, Kent or London; If you are from further away its probably best to look for a provider nearer to home for best convenience.
The most fulfilling part of my work is seeing the transformation these procedures can make to peoples lives in terms of restoring or improving self confidence, body image, physical relationships and wellbeing.
There is currently a trend for doing some quite extensive cosmetic ops as day cases or asking patients to stay nearby in hotels. My feeling and experience is that most patients benefit from a bit more help and support in the immediate day or two after surgery. This is also helpful for people who live a bit further away from the hospital. If you live by yourself, or maybe if you have young children at home, it may also be preferable to spend a night or two in hospital after operation.
The McIndoe Centre routinely offers competitive package rates for surgery which include overnight stay and aftercare with a great team of nurses who are highly specialised end experienced in cosmetic surgery.

UKNorth Downs Hospital CR3 6DP Surrey UK Filter reviews by procedure Minor Procedure for a Complete Transformation If you are thinking of a lip lift, I cannot recommend Mr Harley enough. Absolutely amazing experience. The distance from my lip to nose was slowly increasing with age (54) which I felt was making me look tired and older. The transformation is incredible as you can see from my before and after pictures.
I had a video consultation with Mr Harley and a thorough consultation on the day of surgery, Mr Harley addressed all my questions and concerns and provided thorough guidance on the surgery. The surgery went smoothly, the anaesthetic was the most uncomfortable part but less painful than lip fillers and my recovery was smooth. Mr Harley took so much care and time which is reflected on how well I have healed. I had a bullhorn lift, I went from 22mm to 11mm, a significant reduction. The surgery nurse at the McIndoe centre said Mr Harley was the nurses favourite surgeon and I can see why. Thanks so much Mr Harley

From first consultation to final 12 week review dr Harley is patient, understanding and reassured me along the whole way.
My recovery felt fairly smooth and when I had any concern I was dealt with immediately and more importantly reassured at what can be a daunting time during the healing process.
I am elated with my results and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants surgery, I felt so well looked after and my results reflect exactly what we discussed whilst my expectations were managed with professionalism and kindness.
A huge thank you to you and your team.
Most Amazing Smooth Experience Breast Augmentation

I cannot thank Dr.Harley enough for the amazing care and results! From start to finish, my experience was truly exceptional. I went into the process wanting a natural look, as I was starting from a very flat chest, and Dr.Harley listened to my concerns and absolutely delivered beyond my expectations.
The entire journey, from the initial consultation to post-op care, was seamless. Dr.HArley took the time to explain every detail, making me feel completely comfortable and confident in my decision. The staff was warm, professional, and supportive, which made the process even more reassuring.
Now, I feel the most confident I have ever felt in my life. The results are exactly what I hoped for – natural, proportional, and perfectly suited to my body. It has been a life-changing experience, and I am so grateful for the care and expertise I received.
Thank you, Dr.Harley, for helping me achieve something I’ve wanted for so long. I highly recommend you to anyone considering breast enlargement!

My care before, during and after the surgery was brilliant. The whole team were lovely.
I am really pleased with the results and would recommend Oliver and the McIndoe Centre.
Response from Dr. Oliver Harley, FRCSEd(Plast) Its very good of you to make the time to give feedback.

Exceptional FDL tummy tuck Tummy Tuck
13 months post-op
I had a FDL tummy tuck with Oliver Harley and my experience from start to finish was absolutely brilliant. The consultations I had were very thorough with a huge emphasis on my existing medical conditions which was really important to me.
The level of care i received once in hospital was exceptional. Mr Harley and all his team gave me their undivided attention and were always available if I needed them, nothing was too much trouble.
The aftercare was equally exceptional, with regular wound dressings and check ups.
I would highly recommend Mr Harley and his team.

Truly positive & life changing, fleur de lis tummy tuck & muscle repair Tummy Tuck
3 months post-op
I had a Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck and Muscle Repair with Mr. Harley and can honestly say he is outstanding!
From start to finish, the honesty, support and life changing experience has been positive in every way. I can't thank him or the staff around him enough for the care I have received (and continue to do so) on this journey.
After much searching, I had my initial consultation with Mr. Harley. He was very honest about outcomes and risks but at the same time personable and reassuring with his professionalism towards both myself and my partner.
The operation itself was a huge success for me, I don't think I will ever be able to thank him enough for changing my life in such a positive way. After 25 years of hating my body and hiding, I am now walking with pride! (even wearing my first bikini this year at 49!).
The continued support following the operation is superb, nothing is ever too much trouble. I am so pleased I found Mr. Harley when I did, the best decision I've ever made!
Response from Dr. Oliver Harley, FRCSEd(Plast) thank you for this lovely review about FDL tummy op. you have been very brave to go through such a big op and I am pleased that its been worth it. It is always heartwarming to hear that patients can get to a point where feel confident to wear nice swimwear after tummy ops.
10 months post-op breast reduction - so pleased with the end result Breast Reduction
10 months post-op
Mr Harley was very pleasant and very professional, I am glad that I picked him to do my Breast Reduction, I researched a lot of plastic surgeons and also read alot of reviews., in particular one persons review which resonated with me, I felt quite nervous and embarrassed about going for the consultation, although when I got there I felt completely at ease with Mr Harley, I also felt ok on the day of my surgery, surprisingly! So I would just like to say to anyone who is reading my review that Mr Harley and all of his team were really great with me and I can’t thank them enough.
Response from Dr. Oliver Harley, FRCSEd(Plast) thank you for writing these kind words. its a big step to have this sort of surgery on a physical and an emotional level and I am glad that you feel well supported through the process.
Exceeded my expectations on what the outcome was going to be as I had a difficult case Breast Augmentation
1 day post-op
Literally had my surgery yesterday and I cannot express how wonderful Mr Harley and his team have been. The Mcindoe centre have given me exceptional care from start to finish and have been very reassuring and supportive and listened to all my needs. I have had a BBA with Mr Harley and it’s only been 24 hours and he has exceeded my expectations on what the outcome was going to be as I had a difficult case and I cannot thank him enough. The room, the food and every single member of staff who had looked after me has been fantastic and I couldn’t recommend enough. I get to see my incision sites next week but they look absolutely tiny from what I have seen so far and am very happy so far.
