Professor Abhilash Jain is a Consultant Plastic Surgeon based in London, UK. Following his graduation, he began training in plastic, reconstructive, hand, and aesthetic surgery in various teaching hospitals throughout London. He undertook prestigious specialist fellowship surgical training and became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (FRCS Plast). During this time, he gained experience in congenital hand surgery and cosmetic surgery.

He was awarded an MSc with Distinction from University College London as well as a PhD from Imperial College London for his research focusing on the effects of rheumatoid arthritis on the hand. Professor Jain was the first plastic surgeon to undertake a Royal College of Surgeons-approved microsurgery fellowship in lower limb reconstruction and was the winner of the highly sought-after HEFCE Clinical Senior Lecturer-NHS award.

He has a specialist interest in all aspects of hand, and lower limb reconstruction, general plastic surgery, and cosmetic surgery. He is currently an Associate Professor of Plastic and Hand Surgery at the University of Oxford and Imperial College NHS Trust London and undertakes large-scale clinical research in plastic and hand surgery in the UK.

Professor Jain treats a variety of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren's contracture, and arthritis of the hand. He performs procedures such as hand surgery, body contouring, facial surgery, and skin grafts. His interests also extend to the surgical treatment of skin lesions, lumps, and bumps, as well as scar revision. He has been in his current role since 2009.

Frequently asked questions

What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?

I'm a plastic surgeon. There are different core groups of patients that I see. They are hand surgery, general plastic surgery and skin conditions.

In hand surgery, they commonly come see me with hand pain, arthritis, tingling in the fingers, trigger fingers and Dupuytren's disease which is an inability to straighten the finger. These are common hand conditions.

In skin, they tend to have rashes, skin cancers or moles that are changing and lumps and bumps such as lipomas.

In general plastic surgery, it can be trauma or it can be cosmetic. Things like aesthetic injections, fillers, cosmetic surgery, liposuction.

In lower limb trauma, injuries to the lower leg. For example, big cuts, lacerations or broken legs with open wounds which I look after with orthopaedics.

These are my main groups of patients.

What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?

I do all range of hand surgeries, like carpal tunnel, decompression, trigger finger release, Dupuytren's surgery, surgery for arthritis, among others. I also do finger injections and hand injections for painful conditions. I also treat fractures of the hand.

I offer full range of surgical excision of skin lesions, like moles, skin cancers and then reconstruction with skin grafts or local flaps. In cosmetic surgery, we offer aesthetic injections and fillers as required and also liposuction or other such procedures as necessary.

In lower limb, we do repair of traumatic conditions. We do skin grafts. In certain patients, they need dressing changes or more complex reconstruction.

I do a lot of trauma, particularly of the hand, which means a lot of hand fractures that need either surgery or splinting. I see a lot of those patients.

What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?

I'm famous nationally and internationally for hand surgery and lower limb trauma. My research was on enhanced surgery for rheumatoid arthritis. I now lead quite a large group in conditions of the hand. My research interest is clinical hand surgery conditions and also paediatric hands like congenital hand surgery. These are things that I do very well and I'm well known for.

For lower limb reconstruction, I do it in cooperation with orthopaedic surgeons and my colleagues in my NHS practice because these injuries are complex and big and they can't be looked after by a single doctor. I lead part of that team, looking after these doctors. We've got a lot of patients coming from abroad, seeking our expertise to try and solve problems that they may have had because these injuries are complex and difficult.
