Professor David Dunaway, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, currently works within the craniofacial unit at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. He also sees patients privately for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in clinics across London including The Portland Hospital, London Clinic and 152 Harley Street. He is highly skilled in performing paediatric procedures for vascular malformations, skin lesions, and deformities of the face.
Prof Dunaway began his medical education at Manchester Medical School, graduating in 1989 before moving on to train in prestigious units throughout the country and abroad in places like Leeds, Newcastle, London, and Adelaide. His training was finalised in 1980 when he qualified as a plastic surgeon. In addition to that qualification, 10 years later he qualified as a dentist and became a Fellow of Dental Surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons. Following his qualification, he held a position of Consultant Plastic Surgeon in Scotland, before moving down to London to accept a Consultant position at Great Ormond Street Hospital in 2000.
Prof Dunaway's excellent work has been recognised by "The Times" who named him as one of the best surgeons and paediatric doctors in the UK. He has gained this reputation due to his expert skills in facial and reconstructive plastic surgery and the treatment of congenital or acquired deformities. "Tatler" has also recognised him as one of the best plastic surgeons in the UK for facial cosmetic procedures. He pioneered the use of custom-made facial implants within his Trust and practices.
Prof Dunaway has held many professional positions including President of the Plastic Surgery Section of Royal Society of Medicine and Secretary-General of the European Society of Craniofacial Surgeons. He also contributes back to society by partaking in voluntary work in Africa and being a trustee for Facing Africa (a charity that enables the treatment of craniofacial deformity in African children). In 2016, he was given a CBE for his work in the facial surgery field.

The service from Professor Dunaway and his team was excellent. The team was extremely professional as we expected a team of this reputation and standing would be but what surprised us was the level of personal care, support and attention they provided. It really made us feel very confortable trusting Ella into their care and their approach made us feel calmer and more confident leading up to the operation than we would otherwise have been. Our medical experiences elsewhere have generally been that the medical staff are de-sensitised to situations and the standout experience for us was the genuine human side Professor Dunaway and his team showed at all times to Ella and us as parents - it was truely outstanding.

Incredibly sensitive, collaborative and thourough in the lead-up to surgery. Superb treatment while in hospital, excellent results in terms of safety. Only two days post-surgery so can’t really assess results yet, but so far incredibly impressive expertise and management of our complex case.

Professor Dunaway is thoroughly professional but also kind. He talked me through the procedure and told me what to expect. I was delighted with the results and would highly recommend him.Excellent.

Extremely talented, kind and professional. Professor Dunaway made me feel at ease throughout the entire surgery process, no matter how weird and wonderful my questions he answered me thoroughly. He asked me what my goals were and I felt like I had input into the final result, Professor Dunaway is ethical and wants the best for his patients. He will be very honest and is gifted at what he does - I knew I would be safe and would have a natural result, which were the two main issues for me. He also makes sure you have enough follow-up appointments and whilst I am very happy with my result I am confident he would revise it for me if necessary. The team at 152 Harley Street are amazing, especially Suzie, Sussan and the girls at the front desk. Very discreet and very lovely. Happy patient - if my friends or family wanted surgery then Professor Dunaway would be my first choice for them.

I had several cosmetic procedures performed at once with Professor Dunaway, some of which were quite involved. The results exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail, skill and focus on personal care were second to none. My experience was positively life changing. Not only is Professor Dunaway a first class surgeon but is also incredibly caring and will always make the time to listen to patient's concerns. This level of care and expertise was delivered from the very first consultation right through to surgery aftercare.
