oncology and oncoplastic breast surgery under his supervision. 

Mr Garreffa completed his specialist breast surgery training
in Italy, complemented by two fellowships in Derby and Cambridge where he
gained further experience in the most advanced oncoplastic breast-preserving
operations as well as reconstructive procedures.  He is a fellow of the Royal College of
Surgeons of England and of the European Board of Surgery and in 2021 was
awarded the European Certification in Breast Surgical Oncology, making one of
the few BRESO certified surgeons in the UK.

Mr Garreffa treats all aspects of breast disease, benign or
cancerous, and patients with a family history of breast cancer. He utilises the
latest oncoplastic techniques such as therapeutic mammoplasty / mastopexy,
partial breast reconstruction with chest wall perforator flaps (such as LTAP
and LiCAP), full breast reconstruction with implant, LD muscle flap or chest
wall perforator flaps, and lipofilling techniques. 

Mr Garreffa has published several research works on
oncoplastic and reconstructive breast surgery. One of his main interests is to
increase the collaboration between surgeons and oncologist in order to improve
the quality of the radiation treatment following complex surgical procedures. 

Other specialist interests include Screen-detected breast
cancer, newer localisation techniques, patients with family history of breast
cancer & risk-reducing surgery, benign breast conditions including all
symptoms affecting women of all ages.
