Mr Neil Johns

Mr Neil Johns philosophy is to utilise oncoplastic breast surgical techniques to push the boundaries of breast-conserving surgery by being able to excise large areas of the breast which provides the best oncological outcome, and at the same time being able to reshape or rebuild the breast to provide the best aesthetic outcomes. He is one of the few who regularly performs partial breast reconstruction with a fat only flap (chest wall perforator flap) following a large lumpectomy thus maintaining breast shape and avoiding mastectomy in many cases. Mr Johns completed his Doctorate of Medicine in the field of cancer-associated weight loss at the University of Edinburgh. He is widely published in this field, as well as breast disease, and other disciplines in surgery. He has been a member of faculty at international conferences and has presented his work globally. He has written contributions for peer-reviewed textbooks and is a peer reviewer for a number of journals. Mr Johns received the coveted Syme Medal from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. This is a prestigious mark of excellence awarded by the College to a Fellow of the College in good standing, on the basis of a submitted thesis (MD or PhD), culminating in the research being published in high-quality peer-reviewed journals.
