About
I have been a consultant oncoplastic breast, reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgeon since 2004. I am very experienced with all aspects of breast management including investigations and treatments for benign or cancerous conditions. My surgical expertise also covers all aspects of breast surgery as this is my specialty: Cosmetic breast surgery: breast enlargement, breast uplift, breast reduction, breast implant problems. Reconstructive breast surgery. All aspects of breast cancer work including wide local excision, mastectomy, skin sparing mastectomy, sentinel node biopsy, axillary node clerance and therapeutic mammoplasty. I have performed thousands of these operations with consistently high outcomes. I am a member of the Association of Breast Surgery and am a fully certified cosmetic breast surgeon through the Royal College of Surgeons. I am a national cosmetic breast surgery lead for the ABS cosmetic sub-group and am a national trainer for oncoplastic breast surgery fellows.
I am experienced in 3D breast imaging and bio dimensional assessments and have a national reputation for cosmetic breast surgery which great complements from patients about my reconstructive breast surgery work.
My expertise in oncoplastic breast surgery also includes reconstruction with tissue flaps, lipomodelling, implants, and reshaping therapeutic mammoplasty. Additional details are available on my website. The only area I do not cover is free flap surgery, which I refer to a coleague who specialises in that domain.
I provide a personalised service aimed at delivering the highest quality of care to patients. I offer a truly comprehensive breast service and work with an excellent and highly talented multidisciplinary team of specialists supported by two experienced breast care nurses.
My outcomes: I have had no cases of mortality, no cases of MRSA, no cases of DVT or PE in any of my private practice patients. My return to theatre rate is < 1%. In the last 16 years, and over 1,000 cases of cosmetic breast enlargement I have never had an infected breast implant. Patient reported feedback is consistently outstanding (see patients' feedback on Iwantgreatcare
