Biography
Siobhan O’Ceallaigh (pronounced O’Kelly) is a leading Consultant Plastic and Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon based in Manchester.
She works across all areas of aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery and cosmetic body contouring surgery and is particularly renowned for her expertise in reconstruction and complex breast cases.
Siobhan is committed to providing the highest level of care and clinical excellence, and to achieving natural outcomes and enduring results. Her approach is honest, calm, listening and supportive, and her testimonials show high levels of patient satisfaction.
“Words can never show how grateful I am to Siobhan. Her care, professionalism, expertise, skill and understanding it is second to none. Having had breast cancer, mastectomy and chemo I felt less than a woman and had lost my confidence. She is friendly and approachable, she genuinely cares for you and is willing to listen to your worries and will explain clearly any questions you may have and will give you honest, clear answers. After surgery she visits you personally every day. Siobhan shows attention to detail in every way possible and ensures the best possible outcome for you. It's amazing what she has done for me. She gave me light at the end of the tunnel and made me feel whole again!”
“Miss O’Ceallaigh was absolutely superb. From the first consultation to sign off she was wonderful. My results couldn’t be better, absolutely life changing! She is so reassuring at every stage but also set very realistic expectations.”
