About me

Miss Sarah Tang is a breast surgeon in London with an NHS practice at St George's Hospital. She has expertise in treating a broad range of breast conditions and offers one stop breast clinics, surgery for breast cancer, surgery for benign breast conditions and cosmetic breast surgery.
She studied undergraduate medicine at Cambridge University and trained throughout the London and South West Thames region. She completed her surgical training and became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 2014. Her clinical experience has been supported by formal post graduate study and she was awarded a Masters degree in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery in 2016 and a Postgraduate diploma in aesthetic breast surgery in 2023.
She uses the latest technology to localise breast lumps and lymph nodes which allows her to avoid the use of wires and radioactive injections. This improves patient experience by allowing more flexibility in scheduling surgery and by avoiding the discomfort of having wires inserted. If breast cancer treatment requires a full mastectomy, she offers immediate reconstruction with nipple preservation.
Miss Tang offers a wide range of cosmetic breast surgery options including breast augmentation (enlargement), mastopexy (breast lift), mastopexy with auto-augmentation (breast lift and upper breast filling without implants), exchange of breast implants, breast reduction and the correction of breast asymmetry.
She also manages benign breast conditions including removing benign breast lumps, treating nipple discharge and breast infections. In particular, she has extensive experience in managing breast feeding related problems as well as being able to advise on HRT related breast concerns.
Miss Tang is committed to research into breast cancer. She was the 2010 Joint British Association of Surgical Oncology (BASO) and Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) Fellow in Cancer Research for her work at the Breakthrough Breast Cancer laboratory. In 2015, she was awarded a research degree (MD Res) by the Institute of Cancer Research. In 2016, she led the National Margins Audit to investigate variation in margin practice and margin re-excision rates in the UK and Ireland. She continues to study patient experience and the factors that increase the likelihood of margin re-excision.
In 2023 she was awarded a research grant from the Association of Breast Surgery to lead the Local Recurrence After Breast conservation (LRAB) National Study.
She was the recipient of a 2022 Royal College of Surgeons pump priming grant to fund the development of a prognostic tool that can be used to estimate the likelihood of needing additional surgery to achieve margins if a patient with breast cancer choses to attempt breast conserving surgery.
She has a post graduate diploma in healthcare and biomedical education and is the College Tutor at St George's Hospital in London.
Miss Tang lives in South London with her family. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening, cycling and playing the piano.
