Dr. Derek Mendonca (ID*)

Dr. Derek Mendonca is a British and American-trained consultant plastic surgeon with board certification (FRCS Plastic Surgery). He is an Adjunct Clinical Professor at Mohammed Bin Rashid University for Health and Medical Sciences in Dubai. Before moving to Dubai, he was a Plastic Surgery Consultant at Cambridge University NHS Trust in Cambridge, where he built extensive experience in both paediatric and adult plastic surgery.

Dr. Mendonca specialises in paediatric plastic and craniofacial surgery — treating children born with facial differences, jaw deformities, and other structural issues. He also performs a wide range of adult procedures including rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), reconstruction of scars and burns, cosmetic surgery, and gynaecomastia (enlarged breast tissue in men). His training in wound healing brings additional expertise to complex reconstruction cases.

He is a good fit for families seeking specialist care for children with birth-related facial conditions, patients needing scar or burn reconstruction, and adults considering cosmetic procedures with a surgeon trained in both aesthetic and reconstructive principles.
