Dr Agha specialises in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, including breast surgery, tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty), liposuction and face and neck lift procedures.

Dr Riaz Agha features in episode 3 of ITV’s Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, a documentary series exploring the realities of cosmetic surgery in the UK. Filmed at Transform, the programme follows the patient journey beyond the operating theatre, highlighting the importance of consultation, careful assessment and informed decision-making.
Rather than focusing solely on surgery itself, the episode shines a light on the conversations that happen beforehand. Viewers see how patients are assessed, how treatment options are discussed, and why understanding both the benefits and the limitations of surgery is an essential part of achieving safe, appropriate outcomes.
This reflects Dr Agha’s approach to patient care every day. With a background in evidence-based healthcare and years of reconstructive and cosmetic surgical experience, he believes that recommending against surgery can sometimes be the right decision for a patient.
His appearance on Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection offers viewers an authentic insight into how Transform surgeons prioritise evidence-based care, honest conversations and personalised treatment throughout every stage of the patient journey.

Patient story
I think you should go a little bit bigger to get the desired effect.
Dr Agha, Chloe’s surgeon
I was so happy that I listened to my surgeon. We were debating for a while about implant size. Obviously, the difference between implant sizes is so small. Tiny. But he was saying, “I think you should go a little bit bigger to get the desired effect,” and I was worried. I’m so glad I listened to him.
Dr Agha combines academic excellence with hands-on surgical expertise, and every treatment begins with a thorough consultation and assessment. By taking the time to understand each patient’s goals and providing clear, evidence-based advice, he ensures every recommendation is tailored to the individual.
His academic achievements, research contributions and commitment to informed decision-making have earned him recognition within the surgical community and contributed to his appearance in episode 3 of ITV’s Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection.
