Education and Experience
Vivek has a research degree, is a published author, and is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Glasgow. Due to the increasing demands on his time, he decided to leave the NHS in 2013 and open the Elanic Clinic, where he now works solely in Private Practice.
Vivek graduated in 1997 from Edinburgh University before working in the medicine and surgery departments within the NHS in Glasgow. He gained a place at University College London Hospital, where he worked under the tutelage of the Professor of Plastic Surgery. After this, he returned to Glasgow to further his training, qualifying as a surgeon in 2001.
Vivek now has more than 15 years of experience in plastic surgery.
Extensive Training
After spending some time on the London Training Scheme in 2003, he returned to Glasgow to complete his training at the internationally-renowned Canniesburn Plastic Surgery Unit, becoming a Consultant Plastic Surgeon in 2009.
As part of his practice within the NHS, Vivek specialised in both plastic and reconstructive breast surgery using microsurgical techniques and laser surgery. Vivek also focused on patients with severe facial acne scarring, combining facial surgery and laser resurfacing to treat this condition. As part of his consultant duties during this time, he was a member of the Clyde Combined Skin Cancer Multi-Disciplinary Team. Vivek Sivarajan is also Elanic's Information Governance Lead.
