I specialise in breast cancer surgery with special interest in lumpectomies combined with breast reduction (therapeutic mammoplasty- breast reduction for cancer), sentinel lymph node biopsy, immediate and delayed breast reconstruction using acellular dermal matrix (eg strattice, surgimend, veritas) and lattisimus dorsi breast reconstructions.

I also specialise in breast reduction, augmentation and mastopexy (breast uplift) and treating developmental breast anomalies.

I also performs nipple reconstruction, areolar tattooing and lipomodelling.
