      Background Information 
      Professional profile:
      My work includes aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, and surgery of the hand and wrist.

      I aim to give advice and treatment that is individual, modern, and holistic. At the first consultation I aim to identify concerns and to provide explanation of the objectives, and implications of surgery. Patients can return for a second visit.

      Breast Aesthetics:
      I aim to give a result that is proportionate and in balance. For both primary breast augmentation, and for revision surgery, I almost exclusively use anatomical (shaped) implants. These implants give more volume and projection in the lower half of the breast. The shape also helps make the upper part of the implant less potentially visible. Most patients stay one night in hospital after breast augementation, women undergoing breast reduction tend to stay two nights. For smaller reductions and for breast lifts I use a vertical scar technique.

      Abdominal Aesthetics:
      I perform liposuction, scar revision, and abdominoplasty. The technique is dependent upon the body shape, the desired effect.

      Facial aesthetics:
      I look at the facial proportions and advise on areas that can be changed for the better without producing something that looks slightly out of phase with other features. I perform prominent ear correction, eye-lid surgery, rhinoplasty, and face-lift surgery (I predominantly use short-scar techniques: either the  MACS lift, lateral SMASectomy or SMAS plication, dependent upon the amount of fullness and lift  needed in the mid-face and neck). 

      Hand and Wrist:
      I treat most hand problems: carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren’s, arthritis, nerve injury, and trauma of soft tissues, bones and ligaments in the hand and wrist. I perform wrist arthroscopy and childrens’ hand surgery.

      Skin:
      I perform surgery for skin cancer and scars.
      Personal profile:
      I am a consultant plastic surgeon at Addenbrooke's Hospital. I trained in medicine at Oxford University. My plastic surgery training was at Salisbury, East Grinstead, Mount Vernon London, The Lister and Addenbrooke's Hospitals. I was awarded a Doctorate in Medicine from Oxford University for research carried out at the Blond McIndoe Centre for medical research in East Grinstead.

      I was the fellow in hand and wrist surgery at the Cliveden-Hill and St Vincent’s Hospital in Melbourne Australia, and was the senior fellow in plastic and reconstructive at St James’s Hospital Leeds. I aim to keep abreast of the latest developments and advances by regular visits to other surgeons and units in the UK and abroad.

      I am interested in safety and in evidence based medical care. I am part of the faculty for the Royal College of Surgeons Advanced Hand and Wrist Surgery Skills course. I am a registered educational supervisor for trainee plastic surgeons, and am currently clinical director for plastic surgery at Addenbrookes Hospital. I am a member of The European Wrist Arthroscopy Society. I have until recently been a member of the British Hand Surgery Society Research and Audit Group. I have been elected to the council of the British Society for Surgery of the Hand.

      I live and work within the City of Cambridge, I have
      a young family, when time allows I love sport and am interested in art, politics, and the environment.
