Mr Maisam Fazel MA (Cantab) MS FRCS – Consultant Onco Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon

Maisam Fazel is the Surgical Lead at the Thames Breast Clinic. He is a Consultant Onco Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon with a unique background in both breast and plastic surgery.

Maisam Fazel read medicine at Cambridge University and graduated with the University Prize in Surgery. He later trained at leading teaching hospitals in London, Paris & Milan. He was then selected for the National Onco Plastic Fellowship at the renown Nottingham Breast & Reconstruction Unit, where as part of the Plastic Surgery department, he developed his skills in onco plastic and breast reconstruction surgery. This has allowed him to apply sophisticated reconstructive techniques in both breast conservation surgery as well as total breast reconstruction.

Subsequently he was one of the few surgeons to be awarded the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons Fellowship where he gained extensive experience in a wide range of reconstructive procedures under leading surgeons. To further his training, Maisam Fazel undertook an additional reconstructive surgery fellowship in the United States. Maisam Fazel also has extensive experience in the use of intra-operative radiotherapy (IORT) and is one of the few surgeons nationally to offer this treatment routinely to selected patients.

On the academic front, Maisam Fazel is actively involved in research relating to breast reconstruction. He has published widely and has been invited to present his work at national and international meetings where he has won several awards. He is currently an Honorary Lecturer in London.

Maisam Fazel’s philosophy is to ensure that all his patients receive the highest level of up-to-date care both in clinic as well in the surgical treatments her provides.
