DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction, Female, North London

Being given a diagnosis of breast cancer is devastating at any age, but to be given this diagnosis at the relatively young age of 36, and to be told that you need to go through chemotherapy and have a mastectomy is even more distressing.  I was diagnosed with breast cancer and spent the next nine months receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and undergoing mastectomy with lymph node clearance.  The light at the end of the tunnel was the fact that my breast surgeon assured me that I could be referred for reconstructive surgery once the treatment had finished and he recommended Mr Sojitra.

Following a few consultations with Mr Sojitra,  I was admitted to the Royal Free Hospital for breast reconstruction surgery.  I opted for a DIEP flap reconstruction which brings tissue from my abdomen to be used to reconstruct my breast.  I was in hospital for about a week, during which time I received excellent treatment from the entire team of nurses and doctors involved in my care.  I was then discharged home and recuperated over the following two months, and was able to return to work nine weeks after my surgery.

It is now twenty months later and I have been discharged from Mr Sojitra’s care.  The surgery has given an excellent result, particularly following nipple reconstruction and tattooing, and I am delighted with the outcome of the surgery.  I feel much more confident and am able to wear clothes I thought I’d never wear again.  It’s also great to be able to wear a “normal” bra and swimsuit, and I felt absolutely wonderful in my wedding dress when I got married just nine months after my reconstruction.

I am so thankful to Mr Sojitra and his entire team who have all worked so hard in achieving such a great result for me.

I’ve been aware of not feeling ‘womanly’ since I was about 16, and didn’t feel complete, or like I had ‘my fair share’ – I desperately wanted bigger boobs!  I had never had any negative comments from people as I was growing up, but I had always struggled with my confidence.  I would wear chicken fillets and padded bras, but underneath I knew that I was flat chested and it was all an act.  All I wanted was bigger boobs.

I’ve never been one of these people who wanted to look like a glamour model.  I just wanted to fill out my bra.  I went to my GP and he applied to the NHS for me, but I was turned down.  It was then that my GP said about going private and mentioned Mr Sojitra, and she told me the website which I looked up straight away.

I thought I would just go for the consultation to find out a bit more.  I wasn’t even going to get my boobs out!  But when I met Nilesh sojitra, my surgeon, he was absolutely great, and I felt really comfortable with him and the service that he and his team provided.  I had planned to go and check out other places but in the end I didn’t bother.

It’s not just about having bigger boobs – I now feel that all of my curves are in the right place. For the first time I have mounds of breast! Before the operation I wouldn’t even wear low cut or halter neck tops because I would have to go without a bra and I hated my shape but it will be wonderful to have so many options to wear now.

I am so pleased I went ahead with the boob enlargement with Nilesh Sojitra.  My new figure has already given me new confidence.  I have wanted it for six years, but never in a million years thought it would happen to me.

I have gone from being ashamed, to being confident; to being confident but knowing I could be more confident.  I now feel a whole lot better getting dressed and getting naked when I’m a bit more in proportion.

I had 375cc under’s which made me a 34DD/E because DD’s a bit tight, and E fit’s nicely.  My experience with Mr Sojitra was fab!  He was so friendly, I’m the most worried person in the world so I had 101 questions to ask and he happily answered all of them.  Any time I thought of a new question I just called up and they were there to answer.  I also was worried about my size I had chosen and he said come up for a chat a week before surgery I changed my size. He was very flexible – it was all about me.  I would recommend him any day!!  I’m very happy with my boobs.   They look so natural you would never know I have had an operation.  My whole experience with Mr Sojitra was amazing and I was well looked after from day one.

I came to your hospital on 3rd August 2011 to have a breast augmentation and would just like to thank you for everything you did for me. I am so pleased with the results, going from a 30b cup to a 30DD cup. They are amazing now, i just wish i had come to you sooner for the operation. I found the whole experience brilliant, from visiting Mr Sojitra for my consultation right through the operation and your continued help with aftercare etc.
Mr Sojitra immediately put me at ease at the initial consultation. He was by far the most approachable, kind, professional and informative surgeon i had visited (i had been to several different surgeons prior to him over the past 5 years to enquire about this operation) but Mr Sojitra made me feel comfortable from the moment i stepped into his consulting room. I was unsure as to what size to increase my breasts too, he recommended that i try some implants on for size. Now i loved the larger ones 335, but he recommended that i try a smaller size, the 285 ones and then he suggested i have these as he said the large ones would look too big for my frame.  I took his advice and am thoroughly thrilled with the outcome. I can now wear any tops (without a padded bra) and look totally in proportion with the rest of my figure. I really appreciated his feedback on this as previous surgeons i had visited didn’t seem to care what size you had as long as they were doing the operation, whereas Mr Sojitra seemed genuinely concerned to ensure i had the correct size without looking false. I did not want to look like Jordan!!!!
I found the staff at the Spire Hospital in Harpenden lovely  and kind.  The rooms were clean with everything you need in them for your stay. The nurses offered me the chance to stay overnight (at no extra cost) if i so wished.  After leaving the hospital i rang them several times asking various questions and found them very informative and they put my mind at rest with any concerns that i had post op.  Also being able to ring someone at any time really re-assured me.
I have been to see Mr Sojitra for my follow up appointment to check how i am 3 months later and i am so pleased with the results.  I am so happy with the service i received from him that i have since enquired about having more surgery which i would like him to carry out.
Mr Sojitra was recommended to me by a relative and i can honestly say i would not hesitate to recommend him to everyone. He has made a massive difference to my life in that i now have more confidence thanks to my new boobs he gave me and if it wasnt for him i don’t think i would have chosen the correct size myself.
Overall Mr Sojitra, his team of colleagues and the nurses at the hospital made my operation a pleasure.  I was in pain afterwards as you are with all operations but i was back driving after 4 days even though my implants were under the muscle!!!  I continued to work but found certain things impossible to do, such as washing your hair (as it hurts to lift your arms above your head for a while). With all this in mind i would definitely let Mr Sojitra operate on me again and the improvement on my boobs by far out weighs any pain i suffered.
Again thank you for everything and i look forward to seeing you again soon.
Kind Regards

Dear Nilesh

I am writing to say how pleased I am with the results of my eye bag correction surgery which you carried out in March 2011.

I had always hated my lower eye bags as they made me look tired and older than i really am.  I had always thought about having blepharoplasty surgery but was very hesitant to have it carried out and indeed even seek a consultation.  From the initial consultation to the last follow up appointment I found you to be very professional and knowledgeable.  You gave me the confidence to go ahead with the lower blepharoplasty procedure which i am glad i undertook with you.

I am really pleased with the results and would recommend any of my friends to have surgery with you without any hesitation.

Many thanks.
