Mr Tafazal is a Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon with over 5 years post CCT experience. 

​

He integrates plastic surgical techniques with breast cancer surgery to preserve and enhance aesthetic outcomes without compromising disease control following partial and complete removal of the breast. 

He has undertaken specialist training in breast cancer and reconstructive surgery and completed an Oncoplastic Breast Fellowship during the latter years of his higher surgical training.

​

Mr Tafazal deals with both benign and malignant breast conditions. His breast cancer work involves treating patients identified through the symptomatic and screening service.  He has experience in the use of implants for reconstruction and uses a variety of smooth, textured and polyurethane coated implants.

​

He uses biological meshes for implant based reconstruction and offers patients both pre-pectoral and sub-pectoral reconstruction.  He has also performed a number of Goldilocks reconstructions using the patients own mastectomy skin flap to form a breast mound.  He has developed this further by performing a perforator flap alongside the Goldilocks procedure in select patients. 

​

Mr Tafazal has been trained in lipomodelling and uses this as an adjunct to other reconstructive techniques.

Mr Tafazal also performs partial and complete breast reconstructions using the patients own tissue and muscle (LD reconstruction) or tissue alone (LICAP, LTAP, AICAP, MICAP).

​

Mr Tafazal was recently awarded an Outstanding Achievement award for his work in Breast Surgery and the care he offers to patients. In addition to this he has been instrumental in developing a community Breast Pain Clinic for which he has also received recognition.
