I attended the Alexandra Hospital to see Mr Baker Breast Surgery and a reconstruction from my Tummy. I felt at ease immediately and everything was explained to me of what was going to happen with my surgery. Mr Baker was very personable. All of the staff that looked after me were attentive and helpful.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional care and expertise Mr Baker provided during my recent mastectomy reconstruction. From our very first consultation through to the surgery and follow-up care, I felt completely supported, informed and reassured. Mr Bakers professionalism, skill and attention to detail were evident at every stage of my treatment and I am truly grateful for the time he took to explain the process and address any concerns I had. The outcome of the reconstruction has exceeded my expectations, both physically and emotionally. This experience has made a significant difference to my confidence and overall well-being and I cannot thank Mr Baker enough for his dedication and compassionate approach. Please also extend my thanks to the team and breast care nurses who were consistently kind, attentive and professional throughout my care. I deeply appreciate everything Mr Baker has done for me.
I felt like Ben was kind & professional. I am very pleased with my breast reconstruction & I'm very grateful for the skill & care my case was given. Thank you
Dr Ben Baker really is a master in his field. He carried out the removal of a granuloma on my face. Amazing work and felt 100% confident throughout
Mr Baker was extremely professional and reassuring, he answered my questions, making me feel comfortable and confident.
Mr Baker and his team carried out a diep breast reconstruction to replace a problematic previous post-mastectomy reconstruction, and my experience was excellent. I feel very lucky to have had this complex surgery carried out with such expertise and it has left a wonderful result which has removed the pain that I had been experiencing and has, although this was not an aim, increased my confidence and feeling of well-being.
Toady I’ve been to see Mr Baker for a post surgery appointment, procedure went very well and please with the outside we chatted today about a few adjustments, Mr Baker explained the options, what the outcome would look like and recovery time, very informative and professional and friendly.
I felt relaxed from start to finish, everything was explained in easy to understand language. Mr Baker is a caring consultant
I recently had DIEP flap surgery under the care of Mr . Baker and his team . My experience from start to finish has been extremely positive . Mr Baker has a very relaxed, professional approach . At our initial appointment he explained the procedure very clearly and I left feeling fully informed and confident that I was in good hands . On the day of the operation I can’t praise Mr Baker and his team enough they all put me at ease and after seeing Mr Baker I felt confident all would be well . I am really pleased with the outcome and even though I am still recovering I can already see what a difference it will make to my life . I would without hesitation recommend Mr. Baker to anyone thinking of having this surgery and can’t thank him enough !
I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Baker and the outstanding care I received under his treatment. From my very first consultation through to my follow-up appointments, he was absolutely exceptional in every aspect of my care. Mr Baker’s bedside manner immediately put me at ease. He took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, answer all of my questions thoroughly, and explain the procedure and recovery process in a way that was clear and reassuring. I never once felt rushed or dismissed. His calm, professional approach and genuine empathy made what could have been a very stressful experience feel manageable and well-supported. On the day of the procedure, I felt completely confident in Mr Baker’s abilities. He inspired trust not only through his expertise and obvious skill, but also through the way he communicated and carried himself. It was clear that he has a wealth of experience and a real dedication to achieving the best possible outcomes for his patients. From start to finish, the entire experience was handled with professionalism and care, and I am incredibly grateful for the attention and precision he brought to my treatment. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Baker to anyone in need of a highly skilled, compassionate, and professional surgeon. I feel very fortunate to have been under his care

As we look ahead to 2026, I’m seeing a significant shift in patient preferences and breast surgery trends, especially around natural breast enhancement and implant alternatives.

Although they may sound similar, abdominoplasty and liposuction work in different ways and are designed to treat different problems. Understanding how these procedures differ can help patients feel more informed and confident when exploring their options, and also helps explain why they remain so commonly requested in the UK.

Choosing to undergo plastic or reconstructive surgery is a significant and highly personal decision. One of the most important steps in this process is ensuring that you feel fully informed before proceeding. In my experience, patients who ask the right questions during their consultation feel more confident, supported and prepared for surgery and recovery.
