Mr Arvind Mohan

Background

Mr Arvind Mohan is a UK trained and GMC certified consultant plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgeon with both NHS and private practice roles. He holds a full-time appointment at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

Mr Mohan graduated from Nottingham University Medical School where he undertook an intercalated bachelor of medical science (BMedSci) degree and has subsequently completed a masters (MSc). Having gained experience in various plastic surgery units around the UK, he was selected to undertake his postgraduate specialist training on the Pan London Plastic Surgery programme, rotating through some of the most prestigious and busiest units in the country including The Royal London Hospital (Barts Health NHS Trust), Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, Chelsea & Westminster Hospital and St Mary’s Hospital (Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust). He subsequently completed a microsurgical fellowship in breast reconstruction and was selected to undertake the London Clinic cosmetic surgery fellowship prior to obtaining his consultant post.

Mr Mohan is an expert in all aspects of acute and elective hand surgery, lower limb reconstruction following trauma and complex microsurgical soft tissue reconstruction following orthopaedic, spinal and vascular surgery. He has a particular interest in reconstruction of diabetic foot ulceration, the treatment and restoration of chronic wounds and is pioneering functional and aesthetic reconstruction in the form of superthin and ultra-low profile free tissue transfer. Using these techniques and utilising supermicrosurgery where required, he is able to optimise function and cosmesis in his reconstructions following major trauma.

Mr Mohan is one of the few cosmetic surgeons in London who also specialises in major trauma and complex extremity reconstruction. This unique skill set allows him to seamlessly combine the functional and aesthetic aspects of body contouring surgery to provide the most optimal outcomes to his patients in terms of both form and function.

Mr Mohan specialises in body contouring surgery of the abdomen (mini, full, extended, fleur-de-lys abdominoplasty), arms (arm lift or brachioplasty), lower limbs (thigh lift, contour correction, limb implants) as well as full body lifts. He utilises advanced liposuction and fat transfer techniques to augment his outcomes when required, particularly in patients with complex contour irregularities.
