At AA Plastic Surgery in Cambridge, we offer bespoke breast augmentation surgery for women who feel their breasts are too small, uneven, or have lost volume over time. Whether changes have occurred naturally, or after pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss, breast enlargement can help restore confidence by creating a fuller, more balanced and youthful appearance.

Breast augmentation surgery uses high-quality silicone implants to enhance breast volume and shape. Implants can be selected and positioned to suit your anatomy and goals, ensuring results that feel proportionate and natural to your body. During your consultation, Dr Ahid Abood will guide you through implant options, sizing and incision placement so you feel fully informed before making your decision.

If your breasts also sit lower than you would like, breast augmentation can be combined with a breast uplift to achieve a more lifted contour. This is discussed during assessment, ensuring your surgical plan supports the outcome you truly want.

The procedure typically takes around one hour and is carried out with your comfort and safety as the priority. Most patients return to light activities within a couple of weeks, with full recovery usually achieved between 6–8 weeks.

Breast augmentation can be a transformative experience, helping you feel more confident both in and out of clothing and more comfortable in your own body.

A breast uplift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift, reshape and restore a firmer, more youthful breast appearance. Over time, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, gravity and the natural ageing process can cause the breasts to lose volume and sit lower on the chest, leading to a sagging or flattened appearance.

For women who feel their breasts no longer reflect how they feel inside, breast uplift surgery can elevate and support the breast tissue, improving shape, contour and symmetry. During your consultation with Dr Ahid Abood, your goals and breast characteristics will be assessed to create a tailored surgical plan that delivers natural, confidence-enhancing results.

Breast uplift surgery at AA Plastic Surgery in Cambridge typically takes around two hours, depending on your individual needs. Most patients can return to everyday activities within a few weeks, with full recovery generally achieved by six weeks. Scars naturally soften and fade over time, and Dr Abood uses refined techniques to help minimise their appearance as much as possible.

A mastopexy may also be combined with breast augmentation if you wish to increase volume as well as lift the breasts. Dr Abood will guide you through the best options to match your desired outcome.

A breast uplift can help you feel comfortable, confident and aligned with your appearance once again.

Liposuction is a surgical treatment designed to remove stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise alone. Rather than being a weight-loss solution, liposuction is used to reshape and contour specific areas of the body, helping patients achieve a smoother, more balanced silhouette.

Fat is removed from beneath the surface of the skin using refined surgical techniques, allowing for targeted improvement in body shape. This makes liposuction particularly effective for localised areas where fat tends to persist, even with a healthy lifestyle.

At our Cambridge clinic, Dr Ahid Abood performs liposuction on common areas of concern, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, back and knees. During your consultation, Dr Abood will assess your goals, skin quality and overall health to determine the most suitable approach and whether liposuction alone or in combination with another procedure would deliver the best result.

For many patients, liposuction offers a renewed sense of confidence, making clothing feel more comfortable and helping them feel more aligned with their appearance.

At our Cambridge clinic, Dr Ahid Abood provides a comprehensive range of skin surgery treatments, helping patients address both cosmetic concerns and medical conditions affecting the skin. Whether you are looking to remove a lesion for comfort, confidence or safety, all procedures are carried out using precise surgical techniques to achieve the best possible aesthetic and clinical outcomes.

Treatments available in Cambridge include:

Mole Removal
Moles are pigmented skin lesions commonly found across the body. While most are harmless, some can change in shape, size or colour over time. If a mole becomes bothersome or shows concerning features, removal can offer reassurance and prevent future complications. Lesions that appear suspicious can be sent for laboratory testing for full peace of mind.

Cyst Removal
Cysts develop beneath the skin as soft tissue swellings. They can become enlarged, painful or infected, making removal the most effective long-term solution. Surgical treatment removes the entire cyst lining to help reduce the risk of recurrence.

Lipoma Removal
Lipomas are soft, fatty lumps that grow under the skin. Although usually benign, they can sometimes cause discomfort or affect confidence depending on their size or location. Removing a lipoma is a straightforward procedure that offers a permanent result.

Skin Tag Removal
Skin tags are small fleshy growths often found around the neck, underarms or groin. They are harmless but can be irritating or cosmetically unwanted. Quick removal can provide an immediate improvement in comfort and appearance.

Skin Cancer Treatment
Dr Abood has extensive expertise in the surgical management of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. In most cases, he can remove the lesion completely and arrange for a pathology assessment to confirm the diagnosis. Your safety and ongoing care are always prioritised, and where needed, referral pathways are managed seamlessly.
