Professional profile

I have been a consultant plastic surgeon since 1996. My main clinical interests in the NHS are head and neck reconstruction, reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery and skin cancer. I trained in Leicester, Aylesbury, Adelaide and the Royal Marsden Hospital.

I have a large cosmetic surgery practice where my main interests are breast augmentation/reduction, body contouring including ultrasonic liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).

I also undertake facial rejuvenation surgery including facelifts, eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty.
