Breast Implants Cambridge

Mr Abood is a board-certified consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon who specialises in all aspects of cosmetic and aesthetic surgery. His NHS practise focuses upon:

• Reconstructive microsurgery following trauma and cancer
• All aspects of skin cancer, including sentinel lymph node biopsy
• Scar improvement

His qualifications include graduation from the University of Cambridge, completion of his medical studies at St. Mary’s Hospital in London (now Imperial College), and a series of prestigious fellowships in the UK and abroad. He is a member of The Royal College of Surgeons of England; The British Associations of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS); The British Association of Aesthetic Surgeons (BAAPS) and is on The GMC specialist register for plastic surgery.

He currently runs two private clinics in Cambridge and Marylebone, London, in addition to mentoring medical students at the University of Cambridge and holding various roles within the NHS.

Mr Abood is a lead consultant in the role of Clinical Lead for Major Trauma Reconstruction to the East of England and a member of the NHS skin cancer Multidisciplinary Team. An NHS consultant position takes approximately 13 years to achieve, on top of qualifying as a doctor.

Mr Abood has more than thirty-five papers published in respected medical journals and has published several book chapters on cosmetic surgery. He was awarded an MSc Distinction for his research into improving methods of skin cancer treatment using minimal scar techniques.

During your consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss with Mr Ahid Abood the preferred placement, or pocket, for your breast implants. Options include placement below the muscle (submuscular), over the muscle (subglandular), or a partial “over-under” technique, each offering different aesthetic and recovery benefits.

While silicone implants have faced criticism in the past due to isolated cases of malpractice, modern breast augmentation is a safe and well-regulated procedure. All surgeries carry some level of risk, but Mr Abood prioritises patient safety and will only recommend an approach that is medically sound and appropriate for you.

If you have concerns about silicone implants or wish to explore alternative materials, these topics can be discussed openly during your consultation to ensure you feel comfortable with your decision.

Breast augmentation surgery typically lasts around one hour. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, so you’ll be asleep and won’t feel any discomfort. Before surgery, Mr Abood will carefully mark the breasts and take reference photographs to guide precise incision placement and implant positioning, ensuring a balanced and natural result.

Cambridge is the county town of Cambridgeshire and is so named for its position on the River Cam. There is archaeological evidence that the settlement was established during the Bronze Age and that it developed into an important centre of trade during the Roman and Viking inhabitation of Britain.

The University of Cambridge was founded there in 1209, which makes it the world’s fourth-oldest university still in existence today. The city itself did not gain city status until 1951.

The first officiated game of football was played by university students and representatives at Parker’s Piece, Cambridge, in 1848.

Due to its prominence in academia, several international research institutes have found a base in the city. For example, Cambridge is at the centre of the high-technology Silicon Fen and hosts the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest biomedical research clusters in the world.

Cambridge is one of the top tourist destinations in Britain due to its proximity to London, its reputation for river punting, and its elegant architecture, such as King’s College Chapel.
