5 days post mastopexy and implant exchange review. With the amazing Simon Smith (both times) May 2017 - Under muscle 550cc Harley Medical Group To April 2024 - Under muscle 725cc Springfield Hospital Uplift with donut scars (he is amazing!) Recovery has been incredible. Was down in OR at 0930, out in recovery by 1230, my room by 1330 starving hungry inhaling the most amazing tasting sandwich.. home by 1700h. I had Niven as my anaesthetist this time (Hywell in 2017) who was so lovely, and the most amazing cocktail of drugs. The hospital was wonderful, and even better than the previous. The nurses were funny, kind and caring, and I met Sheena who was also wonderful. Not felt any pain at all, kept topped up on ibuprofen and paracetamol for day 2&3, just forgot how annoying post op anaesthetic bloat is..! Day 1 post op (Friday) had a shower and felt amazing, managed to get a proper look at them and removed the gauze, keeping the bra and binder on for 3 days, but felt even better once that was off. I can feel my nipples, and the lower breast area where the other scars are. There is the most minimal bruising, and obviously under the waterproof dressings there is some marker and blood hence the colour in the photos. I am so so so happy, and really glad Simon was able to go bigger and change the huge gap I had in the middle. I had my last BA in 2017 weighing around 12/13 stone, I then had a 360 body lift & arm lift in 2020, and I’ve got down to 9st2lb so my ribcage was prominent with a huge gap between. Now the pockets have been brought in they are even better. Can’t wait till they fluff!!! 🥰 #teamsimon

Really lovely doctor kind and reassuring

On the 3 April I was given the news (with an almost 80% certainty) that I had breast cancer – it picked me. My husband & I were sent away with a list of around 11 hospitals, each with 3 / 4 consultants against them and told to choose one that I would then be referred to the following day. After researching everything from expertise (all clearly had excellent qualifications!), specific procedures each had covered in the field, patient reviews (re. their soft, medical and aftercare skills), peer reviews, papers they’d written, etc. Cheryl Lobo stood out from an incredibly impressive crowd. We picked her… On 12 April I was lucky enough to be in my first consultation with Miss Lobo. Lucky not just with the speed, but with the person. Cheryl Lobo has exceeded all my hopes and expectations. She has been everything I have needed to help take me through this process (alongside the incredible love & support I still receive from my fantastic family and friends). She does not mince her words, but fills you with confidence. Within minutes of our first meeting she confirmed my Breast cancer diagnosis, but in the very next sentence told me how she intended to ‘treat to cure me’, which she has continued to do. I have already had 2 operations under Miss Lobo (following the spread of my cancer), carried out with the skill and cohesive care of she and the amazing MDT at the Wellington (special shout out for the Breast CNS Kate Newson who I know will be my go-to person throughout; but in all honesty all the staff I have met have been lovely!). At no point have I had the time, or inclination, to feel sorry for myself. Miss Lobo has moved all parts of the process along at an unbelievable speed and efficiency – including initiating totally different surgery I was incidentally found to need from my PET scan! She has shown a natural empathy and genuine care for me as her patient, checking on me outside ‘normal’ work hours or clarifying parts of the process she anticipated I would likely be concerned over. Like anyone else I would have clearly have preferred not to have had cancer; but having it, I now feel blessed to be in the hands of Cheryl Lobo and the MD team at the Wellington. (JMc, London)

Mr Kothari was very kind when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, he explained my treatment in great detail. My mastectomy and reconstruction went very well and I was pleased with the after care.

My only difficulty in conveying my opinion of Kieran Power is finding the right words to express just how amazing a surgeon he is. This was after two previous reconstruction attempts had left me in a sorry state. I had been told it was in fact a “satisfactory result” because I could hide it in a bra (!) and there was not much else that could be done to help me. I was devastated and disfigured but my sister, a nurse, urged me to get a second opinion. From the moment I first met Kieran, I felt totally safe. He immediately reassured me that he could help me. His gentle manner is incredibly calming and I cannot express how much it meant to be treated with such kindness and respect after my previous experiences. This served to significantly reduce my anxieties from the start (and I had hitherto been treated for PTSD in connection with previous medical related traumatic experiences and my previous unsatisfactory cancer recon surgeries). I knew I was in safe hands and that this was a surgeon I could trust. His integrity and skill are outstanding. My surgery and recovery all went very well and I received wonderful care (Donna, his secretary, is just brilliant!). I have since shared photos of my recon with other breast cancer patients and they always say “wow, I want your surgeon!” I had just about given up even daring to hope that I might ever be able to feel vaguely happy about my body again after cancer but Kieran is a real life genius surgeon - I am eternally grateful to him. This Summer I pranced around in a bikini on the beach actually feeling confident I think!?!

This was my first consultation with Miss Tang and was professional, friendly and relaxed.

He suggested a few ideas to help the short term future for me

Ms Jajini was kind professional and empathetic, she explained the process well and her team were always available and answered any queries very fast. There were never long waiting times that helped enormously as for many doctor the waiting is what is really stressful for the patient. Her scar is minimal and has healed beautifully. Thanks so much.

Lovely man etc and very helpful.

Prof Zoe is the most reassuring and caring person you could ever wish to look after you. From the moment I stepped into her office I felt cared for. She explained everything, her knowledge is encyclopaedic and confidence is infectious. I was putty in her hands. Thank you
