My Journey

Personal profile Outside of medicine, he has a keen interest in teaching and medico-politics. Mr Hoo is active in pre-medical, undergraduate medicine and post-graduate / specialist training. He sits on various committees including those in the British Medical Association, standing up for and improving doctors’ working conditions.
Mr. Hoo's training in Plastic Surgery was undertaken in Northern Ireland with fellowships in Newcastle and Liverpool. His special interest is primarily in Breast reconstruction following breast cancer or conditions people are born with (e.g. congenital conditions resulting in uneven sized/shaped breasts).

DR CHRIS HOO
Consultant Plastic Surgeon
Currently you can book an appointment with me through either Kingsbridge Private Hospital or the Ulster Independent Clinic.
If you want to clarify if the condition you wish to consult on is something I could help you with, you may want to contact my secretary via our email address Belfastbreastaesthetics@gmail.com
Some patients may wish to have an initial consultation via a virtual platform. That way I can find out a bit about you, what your concerns and hopes are, and we can have a preliminary discussion. You can choose to send me some photos in advance of your consult, but I find we have plenty of ground to cover, even if that isn’t something you are comfortable with.
Â
Then, if surgery is something you want to pursue, I shall arrange for a face to face consult, where I can examine you and refine a surgical plan. In between times, we can send information and photos, that will help in your overall decision making. You will then be billed for the combination of these 2 appointments after the face to face (£250 in total), or if you decide you don’t want a face to face then you will be billed for just the virtual (£125). It’s a whole new way of doing things, but either way we reach the ultimate goal of having a well-informed patient, a comfortable professional partnership and a clear plan for the future!
For those patients where we have met face to face initially and you have had time to absorb the written information I have sent you, you will generally have a further telephone or face to face consultation with our nurse Pauline Doran-Williams.
Â
The benefit of this is to hear about the procedure from another point of view, and you will cover a very useful range of practical topics to prepare you for surgery.
Â
In this time, you will also have been contacted by either the One-to-One team from Kingsbridge, or my secretary from the Ulster Independent Clinic with an accurate pricing for your specific procedure.
Â
With all of this information to hand, you can book a follow up virtual appointment with me which will have no charge. At this second consultation, we can then clarify any outstanding questions, and discuss scheduling.
