About Ms Jajini Varghese

Ms Jajini Susan Varghese is a Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. She sees patients privately at the London Breast Institute and The Princess Grace Hospital. She specialises in Plastic Surgery and in Breast Oncology Surgery and completed her surgical training on the Pan-Thames rotation in some of the busiest hospitals in London, including St Bartholomew's Hospital, Royal Free Hospital & Guys and St Thomas Hospital. Prior to her surgical training, she completed her PhD on the Genetics of Breast cancer at the University of Cambridge on full scholarships. She remains academically active and is  an Associate  Professor at University College London (UCL).

Jajini is passionate about applying the latest plastic surgical techniques to improve cosmetic outcomes after a cancer is removed. This is usually done at the same time as the cancer operation. She is also able to discuss risk of getting breast cancer in the future through genetic testing and offer personalised preventative and early detection strategies. As a female she finds her job extremely fulfilling and her patient-centred approach to clinical practice means that she discusses all available options, and tailor makes the surgery for her patients.

She is actively involved in research and is currently the Principal Investigator on several national and international trials and is widely published.  Ms Varghese lectures on the Burns, Plastic, and Reconstructive Surgery MSc course, and she is the sub-module lead for the breast oncoplastic section. She also supervises MSc students and is an examiner for both MSc and PhD courses. Additionally, she is the current speciality lead for mainstreaming breast cancer in North London Genomics (GLH) hub.

She is a member of the British Association of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) and Association of Breast Surgeons (ABS) and has recently won the Outstanding Young Person of the Year international award by JCI.

In her personal life, Ms Varghese enjoys traveling and enjoys dinner parties with both her family and friends.

Choosing to have breast reduction surgery was a really big decision for me, and from my very first consultation, Ms Varghese made me feel completely safe, supported, and reassured. She is such a kind, caring, and professional surgeon, and I always felt truly listened to throughout the whole journey. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all of my questions with patience, and never once made me feel rushed or uncomfortable for asking anything. Her calm and reassuring manner gave me so much confidence and peace of mind during what felt like a very important and emotional experience for me. I genuinely felt cared for every step of the way. I’m also extremely happy with the outcome, which has made such a positive difference to my life. I’m incredibly grateful for all the care and support I received and would wholeheartedly recommend Ms Varghese!

I cannot recommend Miss Varghese highly enough. From the moment I was diagnosed with breast cancer, she has been by my side with incredible professionalism and deep sensitivity. She performed my oncological breast reduction, and throughout the entire process, I felt completely safe in her hands. I knew the results would be excellent, and she truly exceeded my expectations. Anyone who chooses Miss Varghese will benefit from a world-class surgeon who provides genuine, personal care. She is a true professional with a heart❤️

I had surgery with Dr. Jajini and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable throughout every step of the process. She took the time to ensure I understood everything clearly and answered all of my questions. Both before and after the surgery, she was fantastic, professional, caring, and attentive. I truly felt supported the entire time. I highly recommend her to anyone considering this procedure. Thank you to her and her wonderful team!

Ms. Jajini Varghese was the consultant for my mum's lumpectomy surgery. She was kind, calming and reassuring and she gave my mum a very neat and discreet scar. Thanks Jai, we really appreciate you!

I don’t even know where to begin, because Ms Jajini Varghese was with me at both the lowest and most hopeful points of my life. She was the one who delivered devastating news — and yet she did so with honesty, warmth and humanity. She held my hand, hugged me, spoke to me as a woman, not just a patient. She never sugar-coated, but she always gave me hope. I had a single mastectomy through the NHS, and from the very beginning she was open about expectations while still doing everything she could for the best possible outcome. She told me she would try to save my nipple — and she did. I came out of surgery with excellent symmetry, far beyond what I had been prepared for. At my final check-up (seen by another consultant), he examined me and said he struggled to see which breast had been reconstructed. When he asked who my surgeon was and I told him, his response was simply: “You were operated on by the best.” What stands out most is not just her exceptional surgical skill, but who she is as a person. She is real, warm, relatable .A woman’s woman. She spoke openly, shared human moments, and made me feel brave when I didn’t feel brave at all. If you are facing breast cancer and reconstruction and are scared, I hope you read this and know that you can place your trust in this incredible NHS surgeon. I will forever be grateful.
