Experience

Mr  Sood trained extensively in plastic surgery both in the UK and abroad before becoming a consultant in the NHS and developing a private practice in Essex and East London.

He is a co-founder of the prestigious Mentor Cosmetic Fellowship. This is one of two such posts in the UK for the most senior trainees in plastic surgery who wish to learn the art and craft of cosmetic surgery, before they become consultants in their own right and commence private practice.

Actively involved in postgraduate teaching, Mr Sood is responsible for the training of the senior registrar in Hand Surgery attached to the Regional Plastic Surgery Unit.

Clincial Interests 

Mr Sood's special interests include facial reconstruction following surgery for skin cancer, breast surgery and cosmetic surgery. In his private practice, he offers the full range of cosmetic surgical procedures and non surgical aesthetic treatments (Botox, fillers, laser).

While having undoubted beneficial effects on health and well-being, bariatric surgery can leave patients with unwanted and unsightly excess skin.  Mr Sood offers surgical correction of such aesthetic problems affecting the stomach, arms, breasts, face and thighs, either as separate procedures, or more usually as a combination of procedures.  He always ensures that patients are psychologically and physiologically prepared for the surgery in order to produce a good and lasting clinical outcome.

Hand surgery 

As a member of, and examiner for, the British Society for Surgery of the Hand (BSSH), Mr Sood has extensive experience in the management of hand problems such as the arthritis of the small joints of the hand, Dupuytren’s contracture and nerve compression syndromes (carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndrome).  He works closely with an experienced group of hand therapists to optimise hand movement and function following surgery.

Mr Sood has a special interest in microsurgical reconstruction of major injuries of the hand, tendon injuries, nerve surgery, surgery for congenital anomalies of the hand and foot and surgical reconstruction of the upper extremity in patients with strokes and cerebral palsy.

As part of a multidisciplinary team for the management of skin cancers, Mr Sood also provides treatment for lesions such as BCC  (rodent ulcer), SCC (squamous cell carcinoma) and melanoma.

Research interests

Mr Sood maintains his accreditation for Continuing Medical Education by attending national and international conferences, visiting centres with an international reputation, remaining up to date with published literature and participating in postgraduate education and audit. He has presented scientific papers at the national meetings for Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery Associations. He is regularly invited to lecture and to be a member of faculty at international and national courses and conferences.
