Dr Tijion Esho (born 23 October 1981) is a British cosmetic surgeon, [2] aesthetician, and television personality who, following a medical misconduct and sex scandal involving one of his patients, was formally removed from the medical register in April 2024. He is the founder of the ESHO Clinic [3] and the resident cosmetic doctor on the E4 reality show Body Fixers. [4]

Early and personal life

Esho was born and grew up in North London [5] and is of Nigerian descent. During his youth he attended Edmonton County Secondary School, and initially wanted to become an artist, but due to his conservative African upbringing he was encouraged not to follow this career option. In 2000, Esho started his education at Leicester Medical School, [6] and graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor of Medicine (MBCHB). In 2007, he completed his foundation year, and subsequently completed his MRCS, and junior (core training) surgical rotation training, before moving to the vocational training scheme (General Practice training scheme). [7]

Career

Esho started his career at the NHS as a surgical trainee, completing his junior training before training as a GP, shortly after that he founded the Le Beau Ideal Lifestyle Clinic and then in 2013 "rebranded" to The ESHO clinic with locations in London and Newcastle upon Tyne. [8] In early 2016, Esho launched Midas By Esho, [9] a lip augmentation tool to help practitioners sculpt and position lips whilst making augmentations. Apart from the development of Midas, Esho has been involved in pioneering newly developed techniques and methods in laser skin rejuvenation, lip augmentation with the Nano Droplet technique, [10] Cupid’s Bow Lift and leading a Botox revolution with Robot Botox. [11] In autumn 2017, Esho launched the ESHO product range in collaboration with Brandon Truaxe's beauty company Deciem. [12] [13] [14] He has also advocated for stricter UK legislation when it comes to safety protocols for cosmetic surgery. [15]

Controversies

In 2022, Esho, had temporary restrictions imposed on his practice by the General Medical Council (GMC) after an investigation into allegations about his professional conduct. He was not allowed to see female patients without a chaperone or have contact with patients outside a clinical setting whilst he was being investigated by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS). [16]

On 27 April 2024, Esho was struck off the medical register by the GMC, after the MPTS found that he had exchanged Botox treatment for sex with a female patient. Esho admitted the relationship, but denied that it had been of a physical nature. [17]

Television

In 2016, Esho was cast as the resident cosmetic doctor on E4’s reality show Body Fixers (a spin off of E4's other show Tattoo Fixers). Body Fixers was produced by Studio Lambert [18] and first aired in September 2016; in February 2017, it was announced that the show would run for a second season. [19] Prior to Body Fixers, Esho had made guest appearances on Channel 4’s Bodyshockers . [20]

ESHO Initiative

In October 2016, Esho, in collaboration with Church Pharmacy and Cosmetronic, launched the ESHO Initiative, [21] a charity clinic which provides corrective treatment to patients with botched cosmetic procedures, congenital deformities, or severe scarring or disfigurement. [22]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Plastic surgery</span> Medical surgical specialty

Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories: reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. Reconstructive surgery includes craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns. While reconstructive surgery aims to reconstruct a part of the body or improve its functioning, cosmetic surgery aims to improve the appearance of it. A comprehensive definition of plastic surgery has never been established, because it has no distinct anatomical object and thus overlaps with practically all other surgical specialties. An essential feature of plastic surgery is that it involves the treatment of conditions that require or may require tissue relocation skills.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a medical aesthetic procedure in which injectable fillers, most commonly hyaluronic acid ones like Restylane and Juvederm or calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse), are used to alter and shape a person's nose without a surgery. The procedure fills in depressed areas on the nose, lifting the angle of the tip or smoothing the appearance of bumps on the bridge. Non surgical rhinoplasty is an augmentation procedure, so it cannot reduce the size of someone's nose. The cosmetic procedure carries the risk of causing serious skin damage or distant complications like blindness. If the filler product is injected into an artery, filler can travel in the arteries and blocks smaller size arteries like ophthalmic artery and cause blindness. If blood vessels of the skin is blocked, skin necrosis can develop. Hyaluronic acid based fillers can be reversed even if injected into a blood vessel with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which can be also injected like fillers.

Injectable filler is a soft tissue filler made of polysaccharides injected into the skin at different depths.
