I am a Consultant Plastic Surgeon practising at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital, Spire King’s Lynn Clinic and Addenbrooke’s Hospital. I am also a member of the specialist multidisciplinary team at the Cambridge Breast Unit, where I contribute to the treatment and reconstruction of complex breast conditions.

I specialise in both reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery of the breast, as well as a wide range of aesthetic procedures designed to improve confidence, function and overall wellbeing. My areas of clinical focus include breast reconstruction, breast augmentation, breast reduction and breast uplift surgery alongside the treatment of congenital and developmental breast conditions.

I have developed extensive experience in breast surgery and cosmetic procedures, including surgery for asymmetry, male breast reduction and corrective procedures following previous surgery. In addition to my breast practice, I offer a broad range of plastic surgery treatments such as eyelid surgery, facelift surgery, liposuction and tummy tuck procedures, as well as the removal of skin lesions, moles and treatment of skin cancer.

My training began at St Thomas’ Hospital Medical School, followed by specialist training in leading plastic surgery centres including Chepstow, East Grinstead and Charing Cross Hospital in London. I further developed my expertise internationally and in specialist centres, including experience in breast reconstruction in Atlanta and at the Royal Marsden Hospital, alongside cosmetic surgery training at the Wellington Hospital in London.

My approach to patient care is centred around careful consultation, clear communication and realistic expectations. I treat patients across Cambridge and the wider East of England, offering all patients a thorough initial assessment and encourage a second consultation, at no additional cost, to allow time to consider treatment options fully and make informed decisions before proceeding.
