I am a Consultant Plastic Surgeon with a specialist interest in hand surgery. I have a private practice at Spire Leeds Hospital.
The cosmetic operations I perform include breast augmentation, mastopexy (breast lift), breast reduction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), labiaplasty, brachioplasty (arm lift), blepharoplasty (eye bags), liposuction and correction of inverted nipples.
The hand surgery conditions I treat include carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, Dupuytren’s disease, ganglion and arthritis of the hand. Hand surgery is usually carried out under local / regional anaesthetic. Other procedures I perform include mole, cyst, skin tag, skin cancer excision and scar revision.
I perform over 1,000 cases a year between my NHS and private practice.
I have been in full-time NHS practice at Leeds General Infirmary since 2010 treating elective and emergency plastic and hand surgery patients. I am also actively involved in postgraduate surgical training and I am a member of the surgical team on the hand transplant programme.
I am the clinical lead for hand surgery at Leeds General Infirmary.
