Mr Hyder Ridha
Consultant Plastic Surgeon
BSc (Hons), MB BS, FRCS (Plast)
Specialises in
I am a consultant plastic and cosmetic surgeon practicing in Hertfordshire and London.
I completed my specialist training in plastic surgery in the East of England in Cambridge, Norwich and Stevenage. I subsequently undertook a microsurgical fellowship in London, developing my interests in breast and head and neck microsurgical reconstruction.
My aesthetic surgery training was undertaken at the McIndoe Surgical Centre and Harley Street, where I developed expertise in the most advanced techniques in cosmetic surgery.
My practice covers all aspects of surgical and non-surgical aesthetics of the face (including eyes, ears and nose), breast (including breast enlargement) and body.
I perform reconstructive surgery of the breast including the use of microsurgical techniques. I also provide skin cancer treatment.
In addition to my clinical practice, I am a clinical supervisor to higher surgical trainees in plastic surgery training and am also a faculty member on microsurgical and FRCS (Plast) revision courses.
I believe aesthetic surgery should rejuvenate and create aesthetic harmony and therefore aim for a natural and fresh look. I tailor my care to each patient in order to meet their expectations and achieve the desired outcome.
