MR AZHAR IQBAL

I founded my private practice in 2006 with the goal to create an organisation capable of providing the very highest standards in breast augmentation and cosmetic plastic surgery nationally. I am a fully accredited consultant plastic surgeon, with over 9 years’ experience as a consultant. My combined clinical and teaching experience allows me to deliver the very highest standards of care. My founding principles are based on excellence, quality of service and ability to provide a comfortable and welcoming environment for my patients. These are acknowledged as the representative bodies for maintaining standards of excellence in aesthetic and plastic surgery. My training started in 1993 after my post-grad minimum entry criteria for plastic surgery training – FRCS. After 12 years of training at different levels I became a consultant in the NHS in 2005. I do most of the reconstructive and aesthetic range including Breast reconstruction, Skin cancers, Facial Palsy, Hand surgery and all aspects of Cosmetic/Reconstructive surgery. I introduced many new techniques in my speciality including a unique way of breast reconstruction and presented and published extensively in peer reviewed journals. I am an optimist by nature and strive for the best. I am sympathetic, honest and believe in active participation of patients in making their decision/choice of procedures. I am an appraiser for consultant colleagues in my trust hospital and part of the MDT for breast and hand surgery. I am also the local lead for facial palsy. I am assigned educational supervisor and clinical supervisor for trainee doctors. I am actively involved in charitable medical activities including operating in disaster stricken areas and promoting medical teaching and training in developing countries. I have worked on various simulation models for teaching. I like travelling, physical fitness and spending time with my family.
