Breast Augmentation Cambridge

Dr Ahid Abood is a double board-certified consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon, working both privately and for the NHS. His private Cambridge clinic welcomes patients from across the region and beyond who value high-quality results, evidence-based techniques and fully surgeon-led care.

He studied undergraduate medicine at the University of Cambridge before completing his clinical studies at Imperial College London. This was followed by prestigious fellowships across the UK, Australia and the United States, where he developed advanced expertise in reconstructive microsurgery, breast surgery and complex skin cancer management.

Dr Abood is fully registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and is a respected member of leading national and international professional bodies, including the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS), the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). These memberships reflect his adherence to the highest professional, ethical and clinical standards in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

In his NHS role, Dr Abood is the Clinical Lead for Major Trauma Reconstruction for the East of England and is an active member of the NHS Multidisciplinary Skin Cancer Team. His ongoing clinical research, published widely in peer-reviewed journals, demonstrates a continued commitment to patient safety, innovation and improved surgical outcomes.

His specialist interests include:

• Reconstructive microsurgery following trauma or cancer
• Advanced skin cancer treatment, including sentinel lymph node biopsy
• Scar improvement and revision

Breast augmentation surgery typically takes around one hour and is carried out under general anaesthetic in a fully equipped and CQC regulated hospital.

Before surgery, Dr Abood will take photographs and make surgical markings to guide the precise placement of the implants. Incisions are positioned carefully to keep scars as small and discreet as possible, usually hidden in the breast fold.

Implants may be positioned above the pectoral muscle, beneath it, or using a dual-plane technique. The choice depends on the desired outcome, skin quality and existing breast tissue.
