Mr Ahmed Ali Consultant Profile
Mr Khan read medicine at Brasenose College, Oxford before completing his specialist training in Plastic surgery in the London Deanery. During this time, he also obtained a Master’s in Public Health from Harvard University and a PhD from the Institute of Cancer Research, London.
He is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and was admitted onto the GMC’s specialist register for Plastic surgery in 2018. He is a member of both the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) and the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).
He was appointed as a Consultant Plastic surgeon at The Royal Marsden Hospital in 2019. He is fellowship trained in both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, having completed a nationally-appointed fellowship in aesthetic surgery in London, and an international fellowship in reconstructive microsurgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, USA.
His specialist interests include all aspects of breast reconstruction after mastectomy, complex cancer reconstruction and microsurgery for lymphoedema (including lymphaticovenous anastomosis and vascularised lymph node transfer). He performs over 200 reconstructive procedures and over 60 complex, microsurgical procedures a year for reconstruction after cancer surgery.
Mr Khan maintains a strong academic practice that centres around implantable medical devices and breast implant capsule biology (including capsular contracture and breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL)) and the clinical evaluation of surgery for lymphoedema. He is the chief investigator of the BASILICA breast implant capsule biobanking study and holds leadership roles in clinical trials evaluating microsurgical interventions in lymphoedema.
In addition, he sits on research governance and national trial steering committees in Plastic surgery and has a track record of PhD supervision that has yielded high-impact peer-reviewed publications, grant funding and invited lectures at international meetings.
