The Hospital Group Secures Leading Cosmetic Surgeon

    BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND, July 31, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The UK's leading cosmetic and weight loss surgery provider, The Hospital Group, has announced an exciting new addition to its team: the renowned Mario Russo.

Mr Russo, who has been working in the cosmetic surgery industry for thirteen years, will join The Hospital Group as Medical Director of Aesthetic Surgery in September this year.

A former employee of The Hospital Group, Mr Russo will return to the company's pioneering clinic Dolan Park in Bromsgrove after forging a successful career in the UK's cosmetic surgery industry.

Chief Executive David Ross said: "The Hospital Group is delighted to welcome Mario Russo to our clinical team. He has an outstanding reputation throughout the industry with both experts and patients alike.

"Mr Russo has performed over 5000 medical and cosmetic procedures during his career. We have already proven ourselves to be the biggest provider of weight loss surgery in the UK - performing more procedures than the NHS - and are in the top 3 for cosmetic surgery- Mr Russo's expertise will help establish The Hospital Group as the number one cosmetic surgery provider of choice.

"We pride ourselves on before and after care and Mr Russo's values will compliment The Hospital Group's ethos perfectly. He will be leading our team of aesthetic cosmetic surgeons to create industry-leading standards of patient care which really set us apart."

Mr Russo specialises in aesthetic surgery including breast surgery and body reshaping, along with less-common procedures such as labioplasty and nipple correction. His wife Ilaria Russo also joins The Hospital Group's roster of specialist cosmetic surgeons.

The recruitment of 2 top surgeons adds to the Group's capacity at an exciting time of expansion. In the last year, the Group has opened 4 clinics in Ireland, 3 in the UK and in May 2009 announced a move into Spain with Mills Medical.

Dolan Park Hospital is the largest specialist facility of its kind in Europe and has welcomed several celebrities through its doors. The Hospital Group's gastric, dental and non-surgical staff are working with Tina Malone to perform a complete makeover and Big Brother star Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace has sought replacement breast implant surgery from The Hospital Group.
