About Dr Farida Ali
Dr Farida Ali is a UK-certified Plastic, Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgeon with over 20 years of clinical experience. She is currently working as a consultant at the American Hospital Dubai and Lutetia Clinic.
She completed her undergraduate medical degree at the University of Birmingham, UK in 1994, followed by extensive surgical training in London and the UK including higher specialist training in Plastic Surgery in the prestigious Pan Thames Residency Programme. Dr Ali further honed her skills through specialised fellowships in Aesthetic Surgery in London and Reconstructive Surgery in Taiwan and London, all of which complemented her deep interest in breast and reconstructive surgery.
She became a Fellow in Plastic Surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2008 prior to board certification in Plastic Surgery in April 2009.
For 14 years, Dr Ali served as a Consultant Plastic Surgeon and Clinical Lead for Breast Reconstruction at St George's Hospital in London. Her primary focus lies in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery, where she offers a comprehensive range of services, including breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lifting, and reconstruction, using either implants or the patient's own tissue (autologous reconstruction). Driven by her belief in empowering women, she is dedicated to providing them with the knowledge they need to make informed choices, offering insights into surgical options, risks, benefits, and long-term outcomes.
Alongside her work in breast surgery, Dr Ali offers cosmetic and reconstructive procedures for the body, including abdominoplasty, repair of post-pregnancy abdominal wall weakness (rectus divarication), liposuction, and body contouring. She also specialises in addressing general plastic surgery conditions, such as the treatment of skin cancers, removal of lumps and bumps, and the management of symptomatic scars.

Dr Farida & her nurse are so patient and I was so scared to do a biopsy on my face but she was incredible and calmed me down!

I recently underwent abdominal surgery with Dr. Farida, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very first consultation, Dr. Farida was kind, professional, and incredibly reassuring. She took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. The surgery itself went smoothly, and my recovery has been much easier than I expected—thanks to Dr. Farida’s expertise and careful post-operative care. Her attention to detail and genuine concern for my well-being truly made a difference. I feel very fortunate to have had Dr. Farida as my surgeon and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of abdominal surgery. She’s not only a skilled doctor but also a compassionate and supportive person throughout the entire process.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better doctor than doctor Farida, she is professional, she is gentle, genuine and knowledgeable. She explained everything in detail before, she followed up and was with me every step along the way, making the painful experience I was going through much more tolerable and easier to handle. I highly recommend her for being a true human before being a surgeon and a doctor. Thank you!

I had a great experience with Dr. Farida at American Hospital regarding my medical situation. Once it was confirmed that surgery was required, the doctor guided me with complete information, which made me feel much more comfortable during the situation. I also want to highlight that I previously had consultations with doctors at a major hospital in the UAE, where they scared me about the surgery, which caused me to delay it. However, when I met Dr. Farida, everything was smooth and very informative. Overall, my experience during the surgery was amazing — thank you to everyone involved. A special thanks as well to the doctor’s assistant, who took care of me during my last two clinic visits.
