My cosmetic surgery treatments include facial, eyelid rejuvenation surgery, rhinoplasty, body contouring surgery including liposculpture, liposuction, abdominoplasty surgery, thigh and arm lifts and non-surgical treatments.
I qualified in 1983 and trained in general surgery from 1983 to 1989. I commenced training in plastic, reconstructive and hand surgery in 1989. I have been in consultant practice since 1998 and have been a Consultant Plastic Surgeon at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust and Walsall Manor Hospital since 1999. I have received certification from the Intercollegiate Cosmetic Surgery Oversight Committee as a certified cosmetic surgeon having demonstrated to the Royal College of Surgeons that my training, professional skills, clinical skills and knowledge are of a satisfactory standard.
I have developed a bra to help women with functional problems related to breast size (neck ache, back and shoulder ache and skin rashes) to reduce the need for breast reduction surgery: www.optifitbra.com
