Professional statement
Mr Kelvin Chong is a highly-skilled oncoplastic breast surgeon based in Central London, Central London, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, who specialises in breast cancer surgery, breast reconstruction and breast reduction alongside fat grafting, breast cancer risk calculation and management and post-breast cancer treatment rehabilitation.
He privately practises at GenesisCare Cromwell Hospital, Spire Bushey Hospital and OSD Healthcare, as well as GenesisCare Milton Keynes. His NHS base is West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust. He runs a rapid access clinic at each of these hospitals and can often provide patients with a same day diagnosis.
Mr Chong is a graduate of the University of Glasgow. He completed surgical training at St George’s Hospital, London, where he also conducted clinical research investigating the effects of growth factors on breast cancer. He was awarded an MD for this research by the University of London. He completed his advanced surgical training in London, including at the Royal Marsden Hospital and Royal Surrey County Hospital (Guildford), before embarking on fellowships in Dusseldorf and Lyon, working with breast surgeons and plastic surgeons at the forefront of their fields.
As an oncoplastic breast surgeon, he combines both effective cancer surgical techniques and the best plastic surgical techniques to achieve favourable oncological and impressive cosmetic results. In addition to standard breast oncological surgery (mastectomy and lumpectomy), his oncoplastic techniques include breast reconstruction, breast reduction, augmentation, therapeutic mammoplasty and arterial perforator-flaps to enable breast-conserving surgery (and reduces the need for mastectomy). His operative portfolio also includes fat grafting for reconstructions, repair of lumpectomy defects and breast augmentation.
Mr Chong also runs a breast cancer risk assessment service via virtual online consultation, where he uses the latest evidence-supported statistical software for breast cancer risk assessment using breast density and genetic testing. He is able to provide patients tailor-made recommendations on how to manage their breast cancer risk and also how whether patients can safely commence on Hormone Replacement Therapy.
His research interest includes using clinical use of measuring breast density and post-breast cancer treatment rehabilitation. He is currently conducting research on using scar therapy for breast cancer patients at Mount Vernon Hospital and runs collaborative projects with RESTORE group to develop Scarwork therapy for breast cancer patients in the UK. Furthermore, he is studying new pain-relieving techniques for post-breast surgery pain syndrome (PBSPS). For more information about Mr Chong, please visit his website.
