Associate Professor Farid Meybodi is a specialist Breast and Endocrine Surgeon with extensive expertise in oncoplastic breast surgery, breast reconstruction, endocrine surgery, and multidisciplinary cancer care. He is recognised for combining advanced surgical techniques with a compassionate, personalised approach that focuses not only on cancer treatment, but also on long-term wellbeing, confidence, and quality of life.
Farid is part of the renowned team at the Westmead Breast Cancer Institute, where he works alongside leading specialists in breast imaging, oncology, pathology, endocrinology, and reconstructive surgery to provide evidence-based and highly individualised patient care. His clinical practice encompasses the full spectrum of breast and endocrine surgery, including breast cancer treatment, oncoplastic breast conservation, nipple-sparing and skin-sparing mastectomy, breast reconstruction, benign breast disease, thyroid surgery, parathyroid surgery, and general surgical care.
As an Associate Professor and clinical academic affiliated with the University of Sydney, Farid is deeply involved in teaching, surgical training, and research. He is passionate about advancing modern breast surgery through innovation, education, and collaboration, and regularly contributes to national and international meetings, workshops, and surgical education programs.
His special interest lies in oncoplastic breast surgery and breast reconstruction, particularly techniques that optimise both cancer outcomes and cosmetic results. Farid has developed and introduced innovative reconstructive and volume replacement techniques that have attracted recognition from breast surgeons in Australia and internationally. His work has been published and presented widely, reflecting his ongoing commitment to improving reconstructive outcomes and patient experience after breast cancer surgery.
Farid’s surgical journey began at a young age through exposure to his father’s medical practice, inspiring an early passion for medicine and patient care. After completing one of the most extensive surgical training programs in Iran and achieving first place in the National Board Examination, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Surgery at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran. He later migrated to Australia, where he undertook further advanced surgical training and was awarded Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in 2013.
He subsequently completed dedicated Breast and Endocrine Surgery Fellowship training across major Australian centres including Nepean, St George, and Westmead Hospitals, further refining his expertise in modern breast cancer and reconstructive surgery. This broad surgical background continues to shape his comprehensive and thoughtful approach to patient care, allowing him to manage complex breast and endocrine conditions with both technical precision and a holistic perspective.
Patients value Farid not only for his surgical expertise, but also for his calm, approachable, and supportive manner. He understands that every diagnosis and treatment journey is personal, and he is committed to ensuring patients feel informed, reassured, and supported throughout every stage of their care.
Outside of surgery and academia, Farid enjoys travelling, photography, fitness, cycling, and spending time with his family in Sydney’s Hills District, which he proudly calls home.
