I am a specialist breast surgeon trained in all things breast, whether it’s cancer surgery, assessing worried women in my one stop clinic or explaining away common complaints like breast pain, cysts, or hormone changes. I’m also lucky enough to have lots of aesthetic breast experience so either use this skillset in my cancer surgery or as standalone cosmetics. In cosmetics, I specialise in breast reductions and lifts and the expanding field of explantation plus or minus further corrective work..
Specialist Breast Surgeon
I’m a pure breast surgeon
I’ve spent the last 14 years as a specialist oncoplastic and reconstructive breast surgeon, which means I have one body area to focus on.
First and Foremost I am a Cancer Surgeon
My background is as a breast cancer specialist so anyone coming to see me should know that this is what I do most of the time. The advantages to this are that I have no other commitments, no colorectal or other body parts to look after, no other complex patients to distract me. I work in a fantastic breast unit in Chelmsford, with a wonderful team of doctors and nurses, and I run the Brentwood Breast Clinic between two hospitals in Brentwood, a few miles from Chelmsford. Although cancer work sounds terrifying, the vast majority of the patients I see are ladies with benign problems like cysts or pain. I spend a LOT of time giving reassurance!
Breast Cosmetics
I spend a lot of my time educating women how to examine themselves and every patient leaves with direct access to me, as we know how difficult it was to seek medical advice – especially during the pandemic. Over time and probably as a result of my reconstructive training, I developed an interest and aptitude for breast reductions and uplifts. I also enjoy the challenge of breast asymmetry cases and implant exchanges where complex planning and technical skill are required. For this reason, I no longer do primary breast augmentation but can recommend other surgeons if you need advising.
Explantation work – The Tide is Turning
More and more people are hearing that I no longer do primary breast augmentation and I have had an increasing number of requests for explant surgery. Whether a woman is just tired of repetitive implant changes or simply wants a more natural aesthetic, or maybe – more seriously she has Breast Implant Associated Illness symptoms, the tide is turning towards implant removal, or explantation. Now I conduct explant surgery with an en-bloc capsulectomy, but it usually will leave a woman looking a little “deflated” unless you perform an uplift procedure of some sort. Now some women will want you to use every ounce of their own tissue to replace their fallen breast back up on their chests, and to do this I use something I was taught on fellowship in Milan, an auto-augmentation, using your own breast tissue to recreate the implant fullness that is being removed. Again, please see examples in the gallery. Some women will need their implants removed and in addition wish to be smaller still, so I use the explant, en-bloc and breast reduction combination. You see, one technique does not suit everyone which is where my experience of all these requests comes in handy.
Basically, if it’s most things breast related, unless it’s simply popping in a set of implants, I can help you.
