About Me

Dr Ahsan Rao

Hello everyone, thank you for visiting my website. I am a breast oncoplastic and reconstructive surgeon and practice in London and Essex. I look after patients with breast cancer, different types of non-cancer breast conditions, breast lumps, and other breast symptoms. I perform operations for breast cancer, breast reconstruction after removal of cancer, breast lumps, and other conditions, congenital breast defects and abnormalities in the development of breasts, and cosmetic breast procedures.

I started my medical education by studying molecular biology and biochemistry at the University of Toronto, Canada. I got a bachelor of Science degree with honours (BSc Hons) and high distinction. I did my medical degree (MBChB) from the University of Aberdeen and also achieved phase 1 distinction while studying.

I did my general surgical training in North London and Essex under the National training program with Health Education England. Later I specialised in breast surgery and did my training at the prestigious Cambridge University hospitals and Broomfield hospital (Chelmsford, Essex). The Broomfield hospital is part of the Mid and South Essex NHS trust and is the largest breast cancer unit in England and one of the largest breast reconstruction units in the country. After successfully completing my training, I was selected for a highly competitive and prestigious breast reconstruction program in the country, the national TIG oncoplastic breast fellowship. I trained in complex breast reconstruction at St Bartholomew’s hospital in London which is the country’s leading centre in breast cancer care. I wish you all happiness and good health.
