Biography

Mr Ghali has trained extensively in plastic and reconstructive surgery having undertaken his training in London, UK and New York, Stanford and Houston, USA. At New York and Stanford Universities, he pursued research into the genetic manipulation of microvascular free flaps which led to the award of an MD as well as the James Barrett Brown & Clifford C Snyder awards.

Mr Ghali is also a full member of the British Association of Plastic and Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeons. He is a consultant plastic surgeon at the Royal Free London and an honorary senior lecturer at University College London. He has published comprehensively within plastic surgery literature and regularly presents his work internationally at conferences. He is actively involved in training surgeons.

Mr Ghali’s training and international fellowships in reconstruction and cosmetic surgery developed his special interests including breast and abdominal wall reconstruction and breast, face and body contouring procedures.
