He qualified from St George’s, University of London in 2001. After completing his basic surgical training in the South East of England, he spent time completing full-time research focusing on breast cancer biology; examining the role of molecular markers, such STS and OATP as prognostic indicators in breast cancer. He was awarded a Master’s degree in surgery from the University of London.
Research
His research work generated over 22 papers in peer reviewed journals, and he presented his findings in national and international conferences in the UK, Europe, and the USA. He is also a member of the Intensity Modulated Partial Organ Radiotherapy Trial (IMPORT) trial management group, one of the largest currently running radiotherapy trials in the UK funded by Cancer Research UK , investigating new techniques of delivering radiotherapy in breast cancer.
Training
Following his research, Mr Sarakbi continued his higher surgical training in the London Deanery, spending almost two years at Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital. Mr Sarakbi was elected to the post of President of the National Breast Trainees Association (The Mammary Fold) (2010) and subsequently to the post of President of the Surgical Oncology Trainees Association (SOTA) (2012). He was selected for the prestigious national Aesthetic and Reconstructive Fellowship, which provided him with world class training in both cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery.
He also spent time training in France at the Léon Bérard Center in Lyon, working with internationally renowned reconstructive surgeons, where he mastered advanced techniques in breast reconstruction and cosmetic breast surgery, including lipomodelling (fat transfer). Mr Sarakbi has also completed over 25 national and international courses to further develop his skills in both reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery.
Practice
Mr Sarakbi has been practicing aesthetic breast surgery as a consultant for over 10 years. He has performed over 1,000 breast augmentations, 500 breast reduction procedures, and 300 breast uplift surgeries.
He has a wealth of experience in the field of breast surgery, particularly that he also performs breast cancer surgery and breast reconstruction both in the NHS and the private sector. He has a large number of reviews on Doctify.com and iwantgreatcare.org.
His signature procedure is Removal of Breast Implants and Uplift (Mastopexy). This procedure has become very popular over the last few years. With the expansion of aesthetic breast surgery since the 2000s, there is a cohort of patients who have undergone breast augmentation many years ago and feel that the current look of their augmented breasts, is no longer suitable for their lifestyle or no longer what they desire. This procedure is aimed at removing the implants, whilst equally maintaining a good aesthetic outcome, with normal breast contouring and fullness to give the appearance of younger and natural breasts.
When undertaking any type of aesthetic surgery, safety is always on the forefront of Mr Sarakbi’s mind. He takes pride in putting patient safety above all when it comes to surgery. Mr Sarakbi will discuss all aspects of your treatment plan and procedure with you, as well as highlight how this procedure can be tailored according to your expectations and needs.
Post-operative recovery is a key aspect to consider when thinking about surgery. When considering the recovery process after procedures, such as a Breast Reduction for example, Mr Sarakbi will follow your recovery closely and make sure that each step of the process is explained in detail. In his experience, most patients stop taking painkillers within 4-5 days pf their procedure, and most can return to work within 1-2 weeks.
Mr Sarakbi believes in providing bespoke, personalised care and advice to those wishing to undergo cosmetic breast surgery, individualised treatment plans tailored to meet the needs of his patients, and ensures that patients are actively involved in the decisions relating to their treatment.
Personal Life
Mr Sarakbi has three children, and he enjoys spending time with his family. He enjoys playing tennis and golf in his spare time, particularly playing with his two teenage boys.
