About Miss Rakhee Nayar
If you have skin cancer or need complex reconstruction, you need a surgeon who is precise about removing the cancer and careful about how the result will look. Miss Rakhee Nayar is a highly skilled Consultant Plastic Surgeon and Mohs surgeon based in the North West of England.
As one of fewer than 10 women in the UK dual-trained in both plastic surgery and Mohs micrographic surgery, she removes the cancer and carries out the repair herself, in the same operation. In a field where only 17% of consultants are women, Miss Nayar offers a uniquely relatable perspective.
Most of her patients are women, and some find it easier to discuss surgery on the face with a female surgeon.
With over 20 years of surgical experience, she pairs complete removal of the cancer with careful reconstruction that aims to keep a patient’s natural appearance and function.

A Relatable, Female Perspective
