ExplantDedicated expertise
I am a pure breast surgeon
Fifteen years focusing exclusively on oncoplastic, reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery. One anatomical area of focus means deep technical skill and compassionate outcomes.
First and foremost, a cancer surgeon
My foundation is as a breast cancer specialist. While cancer work sounds overwhelming, the majority of women coming to see me in clinic present with benign concerns — painful cysts, hormonal changes, or palpable lumps. I spend a great deal of time giving warm, thorough reassurance.
- Rapid one-stop diagnostic assessment with ultrasound
- Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery combining tumour removal with symmetry
- Every patient leaves with reliable self-examination guidance

About Miss DuaOne body area.
One body area.
One lifelong focus.
I've spent the last fifteen years as a specialist oncoplastic and reconstructive breast surgeon — which means I have one body area to focus on. I'm first and foremost a cancer surgeon, but I'm also lucky enough to have a great deal of aesthetic breast experience, which I use either in my cancer surgery or as standalone cosmetics.
My philosophy is simple. I really listen. And I'm not afraid to say no if a requested procedure is unsafe or simply not in your best interest. That's why you're coming to see me.
"As an artist in my spare time, I apply natural symmetry and proportional harmony to every surgical procedure."
