About Dr Ana Borges
Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon — BSc (Hons), GMC Specialist Register, BAPRAS, BAAPS
Reconstruction and aesthetics, guided by one philosophy.
Whether rebuilding the breast after cancer, restoring a limb after trauma, or refining natural shape and confidence, every plan starts with listening — then explaining options honestly, including the risks and how long results are likely to last, so the decision is always made with full information.
UK-trained, dual-specialised in reconstruction and aesthetics
Dr Ana Borges is a UK-trained, fully accredited Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, registered with the General Medical Council for Plastic Surgery and a member of both BAPRAS and BAAPS. Her NHS practice is based at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, where she sub-specialises in breast reconstruction following cancer — with particular expertise in microsurgical autologous reconstruction, using a patient’s own tissue to rebuild the breast.
She also supports the Major Trauma Centre for South East London and Kent at King’s College Hospital, one of the busiest trauma units in the country, where her role covers the assessment and immediate management of polytrauma and the microsurgical reconstruction of injured limbs and the trunk.
Her approach
Every patient is different, and every plan is built around what matters most to them — with an honest account of what surgery can realistically achieve, the risks involved, and how lasting the results are likely to be.
Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery
Breast Reconstruction after cancer is at the centre of Dr Borges’ NHS practice — including DIEP, TUG and PAP flap techniques, lymphovascular anastomosis for lymphoedema, and flap neurotisation — alongside revision surgery and fat grafting for patients with existing implants.
In private practice she also offers Aesthetic Breast Surgery (augmentation, autologous augmentation, mastopexy, reduction, asymmetry correction and nipple inversion), Body Contouring & Limb Reconstruction (abdominoplasty — including fleur-de-lis and mini techniques — thigh and arm lift, liposuction, and free-flap wound reconstruction after trauma), and General Plastics & Skin Cancer (mole removal, skin cancer removal and reconstruction, and scar revision).
