With over a decade of experience in plastic surgery and non-surgical aesthetics, I am a highly regarded Consultant Plastic Surgeon providing expert care in both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.
To date I have performed over 3,000 plastic surgery procedures ranging from minor skin cancer excisions to major breast reconstruction procedures.
I have performed numerous cosmetic procedures specifically body contouring, breast and facial rejuvenation operations.
I began my surgical training in 2014 and developed a parallel interest in aesthetics from 2016, bringing a broad and balanced skill set to every patient encounter.
Uniquely dual-trained in plastic and oncoplastic breast surgery, I am among a small number of UK surgeons able to deliver a fully integrated approach to aesthetic and oncological breast care.
I am recognised for my focus on natural results, patient safety, and truly personalised treatment throughout each stage of the surgical journey.
My advanced subspecialty training includes a prestigious TIG Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Fellowship (2023–2024) and a Breast Microsurgery Fellowship at Leeds Teaching Hospitals (2022–2023), which honed my expertise in complex breast reconstruction and cancer care.
I further refined my aesthetic surgery skills through a British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) mentorship, focusing on facial aesthetics, body contouring, and breast enhancement.
In 2024, I was appointed Consultant Plastic Surgeon at Leeds General Infirmary, where my NHS practice centres on breast cancer reconstruction and skin cancer surgery, and I serve as a core member of the Melanoma Multidisciplinary Team.
I am widely published in peer-reviewed journals and textbooks, and am a regular speaker at national and international conferences, including recent presentations in Lisbon and Dubai. My scholarly contributions include a chapter in 50 Landmark Papers All Breast Surgeons Should Know, a respected reference in the field of oncoplastic breast surgery.
I have been listed on the General Medical Council’s Specialist Register since 2013.
