Four weeks ago I had upper eyelid and brow lift surgery and I am absolutely delighted with the results already. Mr Abood and his team looked after me really well. So much so, I am planning to return and have my lower lids done, once my upper lids have completely healed. I attach a before and after photo of my eyes to show what a difference the surgery has made to my lids and why I am so pleased with the results.

My upper blepharoplasty procedure was a relaxing experience throughout and it went very smoothly, thanks to Mr Abood. I am extremely pleased with the results so far, after only 8 days. Everyone at the clinic made this a very pleasant experience. Thank you.

I can honestly say that Mr Abood is extremely personable. He made me feel at ease from my 1st meeting with him. He explained what to expect from my surgery very well. I never felt rushed during appointments, I really felt reasured when I asked questions and he knew I was worried about going to London for my breast argumentation and lower blasphemy . He took time to video call me before my operations to offer reassurance .
I can not thank him more for his kindness and professionalism.
All in all I am extremely happy with the results and would definitely recommend him . I have discussed another surgery with him for later in the year . I would not choose a different surgeon, Mr Abood and his staff are fantastic.

I had Breast Augmentation and Uplift with Dr Abood 31st July 2024 at Weymouth Street Hospital in London. This has been the easiest and most stress free procedure I've ever had. Dr Abood and Justine are so kind and lovely, I felt totally at ease and welcome from my first appointment. The aftercare is incredible, nothing is too much and I'm absolutely thrilled with my results so far. I cannot recommend Dr Abood enough. So thankful for everything!

I would like to thanks Mr Abood got an incredible experience start to finish. I was super anxious about surgery but also wanted a breast augmentation for a very long time. Mr Abood made me feel at ease all the way through and I knew I was in safe hands. The confidence this has given me is amazing and I wish I had done it sooner. Thank you so much.

I had inverted nipple correction surgery on my right nipple with Dr Abood around 5 weeks ago.

I am really happy with the result of my inverted nipple correction, the nipple has healed really quickly with very minimal to no bruising and looks like it was never even inverted in the first place! I am very pleased with the result as I have always been so self conscious about having 1 inverted nipple.

Thank you Dr Abood, who was professional, skilled and knowledgeable who made me feel at ease during the surgery and followed up promptly on my after care.

The whole process was fantastic, from consultation to surgery. I could not recommend Dr Abood highly enough.

Mole removal

Ahid Abood Plastic Surgery - Moles and lesions

What are moles?

Moles are pigmented lesions on the skin, usually appearing as brown spots.

 

Why choose mole removal?

Although often harmless, the majority of people choose to have this procedure because they do not like the appearance of these brown spots. This is often the case if they appear in prominent areas such as the face and neck. In these cases, mole removal has the benefit of improving confidence and self-esteem.

 

How are moles removed?

The process is minimally invasive, and we aim to make it as simple as possible. Depending upon the type of mole it will either be formally cut out and the wound stitched up, or removed through surgically shaving it off the skin, leaving a graze.  The appearance of any resulting scar will be kept as minimal as possible.

Skin tag removal

Ahid Abood - Skin Tags

What is a skin tag?

Skin tags are small lumps attached to the skin, frequently attached by a thin stem. They are also known as acrochorda.

 

Why choose removal?

As with moles, skin tags may cause loss of confidence if they occur in a prominent area, such as the face or neck or they may be a functional issue, being easily traumatised and catching. The treatment to remove them is very simple and quick.

 

How are skin tags removed?

You will be given a local anaesthetic in the area to minimise discomfort while the tag is removed. The procedure does not require stitching.

Facts about Cambridge

Silhouette of Cambridge university

 

 

The county town of Cambridgeshire, Cambridge, is located on the River Cam, approximately 89 km north of London.

It is a university city with a world-renowned university that is the fourth-oldest in the world. The University of Cambridge was founded in 1209 and contributes much to the life of the city.

Graduates of the university often live and establish start-ups there. More than 40 per cent of Cambridge’s workforce has a higher education qualification.
