Mr Ian Grant BM BCH, MA, DM, FRCS(ed.) FRCS(Plast.)
Consultant Plastic Surgeon & Surgery of the Hand

Profile
My work includes plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, as well as surgery of the hand and wrist.
I aim to give advice and treatment that is individual, modern and holistic.
I am a consultant at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge. I trained in medicine at Oxford University, and in plastic surgery at hospitals in London, East Grinstead and Cambridge. I was the specialist fellow in hand surgery at St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, Australia, and the fellow in reconstructive surgery as St James's Hospital, Leeds.
I was awarded a doctorate in medicine from Oxford University, for research on burns surgery carried out at the Blond McIndoe centre in East Grinstead.
HAND SURGERY: My private practice includes almost all aspects of hand surgey (including carpal tunnel, trigger finger, thumb-base arthritis, peripheral nerve surgery and Dupuytrens disease.)I treat hand trauma, but do not treat fractures of the wrist. I carry out children's hand surgery but do not treat obstetric brachial plexus injuries.
AESTHETIC/RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY: I carry out surgery for skin cancer, as well as aesthetic surgery of the face (including facelift, rhinoplasty, brow-lift and blepharoplasty), breast (including breast reduction, augmentation and lift), and abdomen (including abdominoplasty and liposuction). Patients considering aesthetic surgery are welcome to return for a second appointment at no charge to clarify the goals of surgery and answer any questions.
