Miss Charlotte Vane, MBBS, FRCS(Plast)

Consultant Plastic Surgeon

Miss Charlotte Vane is a consultant plastic surgeon who specialises in aesthetic breast surgery, including breast augmentation, revision, and explant. She reviews the clinical content on Claire Ashley Beauty for accuracy, checking that explanations of implant choices, the procedure, its risks, and recovery reflect current surgical practice and guidance from bodies such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), the FDA, and the NHS.

Her review confirms that articles are factually accurate and balanced, including on the risks. It is not personal medical advice and does not create a doctor and patient relationship: decisions about surgery should always be made in a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon who can assess you individually.
