Mr Umar D Khan

Having resolved to pursue a career in plastic surgery, I went to Ireland to train towards a Fellowship in General Surgery and gain experience in Plastic Reconstructive surgery. An opportunity subsequently presented itself in England, which I took and obtained further training in Plastic Surgery as a Specialist Registrar. Being attached to the main to teaching hospitals, I have been involved in the teaching of medical students, ward round and tutorials. Active participation and presentations was an important part of the programme. After completing five years of training at specialist registrar level, I had an opportunity to work in National Health Trust and gained experience in aesthetic plastic surgical procedures. I later chose to work in the private sector. As an Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon working in the private sector, my work load includes aesthetic procedures such as face Lift, rhinoplasties, breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast uplift, blepheroplasties, browlift, abdominoplasties, liposuction etc. To date I have performed over 4,000 aesthetic surgical procedures. I regularly publish and share my findings with my peers, a list of which can be found on NCBI, and am currently a peer reviewer of prestigious plastic surgery journals. My articles have appeared in publications including Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery, Aesthetic Surgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal, and the European Journal of Plastic Surgery.
