Restored,
and fully yourself
Breast reconstruction and aesthetic surgery from a UK-trained consultant surgeon — advanced microsurgical technique, paired with care that puts you first.
Explore ProceduresCare shaped around what matters to you.
Whether you’re rebuilding after breast cancer or considering aesthetic surgery, no two patients arrive with the same history, anatomy or goals. I’m honest about what’s achievable, clear about risk, and committed to results that are genuinely right for you — in English, Portuguese or Spanish.
Meet Dr Ana Borges
Dr Ana Borges is a UK-trained, fully accredited Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon. She is registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) for Plastic Surgery and is a member of the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) and the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS). She graduated from the prestigious Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ School of Medicine in 2010, before completing higher surgical training in London’s Pan-Thames Deanery, a Microsurgical Breast Fellowship at the Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, a Lower Limb Reconstruction Fellowship at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, and an Aesthetic Fellowship at the McIndoe Centre, East Grinstead.
Her NHS practice is based at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, where she sub-specialises in breast reconstruction following cancer — with a particular focus on microsurgical autologous reconstruction using a patient’s own tissue, alongside breast asymmetry correction and implant revision. She also supports the Major Trauma Centre for South East London and Kent at King’s College Hospital, assessing and reconstructing complex trauma to limbs and trunk. In private practice, that same rigour carries through to aesthetic breast surgery and body contouring — care planned around your circumstances, not a standard template.

My practice centres on breast reconstruction following cancer, drawing on advanced microsurgical technique — including DIEP, TUG and PAP flap reconstruction — to rebuild using a patient’s own tissue wherever possible.
I also provide aesthetic breast surgery in private practice — augmentation, auto-augmentation, mastopexy, reduction and asymmetry correction — alongside body contouring, lower limb reconstruction, and general plastic surgery for skin lesions and skin cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Considering surgery raises a lot of questions — about safety, cost, recovery, and what to expect at each stage. Here are the ones I’m asked most often; if yours isn’t covered, get in touch directly.
Your first consultation will usually last around 40 minutes. It is an opportunity for me to understand your concerns, medical history and what you hope to achieve, as well as to examine you where appropriate.
A consultation is an individual clinical assessment and professional opinion from a qualified healthcare professional. My advice will be specific to your anatomy, health, circumstances and goals—not a generic recommendation.
We will discuss what is realistically achievable and the safest way to meet your expectations. I will explain the available options, what to expect throughout the surgical journey and the likely recovery.
We will also discuss the potential risks, limitations and alternatives to surgery. There will be plenty of time to ask questions, and you will not be placed under any pressure to make an immediate decision.
If you decide to proceed, you will have a minimum two-week cooling-off period to reflect on the proposed treatment plan. A second consultation will take place before your procedure or surgery, allowing us to revisit the plan, answer any further questions and confirm that you remain fully informed and comfortable with your decision.
After your procedure, you will be cared for in the recovery area until you are comfortable, alert and medically ready to leave. Depending on the operation and your individual needs, you may return home the same day or remain in hospital overnight.
Before leaving hospital, you will receive clear, personalised instructions explaining how to care for your wounds, manage discomfort and take any prescribed medication. These will also cover showering, dressings, surgical bras or compression garments, activity restrictions and symptoms that should prompt you to seek advice.
A responsible adult should collect you and remain with you for at least the first 24 hours following a general anaesthetic. Gentle movement is encouraged, but advice about driving, work, exercise and lifting will be tailored to your procedure and recovery.
Scheduled follow-up appointments will be arranged for wound care and to monitor your healing, these are included in your surgical package. You will also have access to the medical team through a dedicated telephone line for emergencies and and email address should you have questions or concerns between appointments.
Miss Borges and her team are committed to being responsive and ensuring that you feel informed, reassured and supported throughout your recovery—both in hospital and after you return home. Your aftercare plan will be tailored to your operation, health, lifestyle and progress rather than following a one-size-fits-all timetable.

Choosing the right surgeon is a big decision, and it’s worth taking your time over it. Look closely at qualifications, experience, surgical speciality, and exactly where the operation will take place. Meet them in person, trust your own judgement, read reviews, ask for personal recommendations — and don’t decide on price or availability alone.
Every operation is different, so an exact quote follows your first consultation. A price guide is available on request. The consultation fee covers as many pre-operative appointments as you need; the surgical fee covers all follow-up appointments after surgery.
Many private medical insurers recognise consultant fees for reconstructive and aesthetic surgery — do check your policy ahead of any procedure, or ask about this at consultation.
I hold consulting and operating rights across Kent and London, including Purity Bridge, HCA London Bridge Hospital, Nuffield Health Tunbridge Wells Hospital, and Wells Health at Fordcombe and Tunbridge Wells hospitals.
