Since my early teens I was forever self conscious over my breasts, not only did I constantly wear baggy clothes to hide the size of my breasts but I also struggled to be confident in my appearance as an effect. After careful consideration I began looking at my options with breast augmentation most desirable. Fortunately for myself I did not have too look far regarding my choice of surgeon due to an impeccable recommendation from a family member and having read great testimonies online, I was lead straight to Nilesh Sojitra and his team at Spire hospital in Harpenden. From beginning to end I received fantastic correspondence from Carolyn who discussed my consultation prior to meeting Nilesh and informed me of what to expect from the consultation along with the price. Furthermore, Carolyn was also able to pencil in a procedure date, at my request – providing my consultation was to go well of course. I was not disappointed when my consultation arrived with Nilesh, he was very professional and supportive throughout, giving me some much needed advice and answering all questions I had clearly. Therefore, I had no hesitation to confirm the pencilled date right away, this then lead me to meet Teresa. Teresa was lovely, reassuring and knowledgeable throughout my whole surgery experience, prior and pre surgery. When my surgery day arrived I could not of been more confident on my choice, Spire was a lovely welcoming hospital and I was placed in my own room with en-suite where I was admitted quickly and efficiently. Prior to surgery Nilesh came to prep me for surgery and answer any last minute queries or worries I may have had. The minutes running up to the surgery itself are slightly blurry but I do remember Alan, a very settling friendly anaesthetist accompanied by an equally friendly team around him. Pre surgery Nilesh and Teresa both visited me along with the nurse, I felt extremely sick but was cared for very well and left later with my family in the evening, feeling mildly dozy but well. Following my surgery I have returned to Spire hospital a number times, all of which have been necessary routine check ups from very friendly, clean efficient staff- I could not have asked for a better service from all the staff I have had the pleasure of meeting throughout. Overall, my confidence has doubled as my implants have settled and I could not be happier in myself. For anyone looking to undergo cosmetic surgery I would highly recommend Nilesh and its fantastic team, all together they offer a great knowledge and easy experience, making everything go smoothly but also enjoyable.

All of the team were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, at no stage did I feel in the least bit pressurised into making decisions before I
fully understood the ramifications. Nilesh Sojitra was a consummate professional at all times and I would especially like to thank Carolyn, Teresa & Dev who were informative, knowledgeable and above all really friendly.
There was always someone I could contact at any time during the day and evening, before & after my operation if I had any questions or concerns.
I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to undertake the procedure, which has left me feeling entirely satisfied with the results.

I’d been to other plastic surgeons for consultations but not gone ahead with my planned breast augmentation as I couldn’t quite place my trust in them. Nilesh Sojitra at Spire was different. I had one friendly contact throughout to answer all my queries, a calm and relaxed surgeon, and a cheerful, honest nurse. I wholeheartedly recommend Spire and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

From the minute I had my consultation with Nilesh Sojitra I new I was in great hands. I was nervous to begin with but all my questions were answered through out operation before and after. The nurses and staff at the hospital were very friendly and happy to help. Carolyn and Teresa were lovely ladies who always kept in touch to see how I was after my operation and made all my follow up appointments effortless.
I would advise anyone looking for any type of breast surgery to go to Spire Harpenden hospital because I couldn’t be happier with my results! I’ve even recommended a family member to pay a visit to Nilesh this year!
Kind regards,

At the initial consultation I found everyone was very helpful, understanding and considerate. Making
you feel comfortable from the time you step through the door, all of my questions were answered
and I gained a lot of information about the procedure and what I could expect. Everyone was very
helpful and gave me some useful tips in order to help me choose the correct size for me and my
body. At no point did I feel that anyone was ‘selling’ me the procedure.
Mr. Sojitra (my surgeon) put me at ease and I was very confident in his abilities. He is very honest
and will tell you how it is and what he thinks but also give you options and let you decide with all the
advice you could need.
Highgate hospital is very comfortable and I was put entirely at ease, although I was understandably
nervous. Following my operation I was given first class care and attention and was soon on my way
home.
I would advise following all of the recommendations given to you by your surgeon and nurse to ensure a full and complication free recovery. I did this and, thankfully, I have had no
problems whatsoever. The incisions healed quickly and neatly and my ‘boobs’ have settled nicely.
I am delighted with my new shape and also my posture has improved enormously.
The support and care given to you is first class during what can be a challenging ( and exciting) time.
I have gone from thinking about my ‘boobs’ for a lot of the day and feeling self-conscious to just accepting that they are now just a part of me – a part that I now really like!

I’d always wanted a breast augmentation but put the idea off till I was older and till the time I felt I had stopped growing. So in the beginning of 2013 I decided I was ready to find a surgeon and have them done finally. I had a consultation with Nilesh, prior to this consultation I was contacted by his PA and was immediately put at ease by her lovely nature & lack of hard selling tactics.
She told me everything I needed to know, what would happen at the consultation and made me aware of pricing, which many clinics seem to keep private until crunch time
I had my consultation with Nilesh at Spire in Harpenden and was made to feel very welcome. Nilesh spoke to me & my mum about every minute detail possible, answering any questions we had as we went through.
After we had discussed the details I was measured so Nilesh could find out what would work and what wouldn’t, then I got to try on a surgery bra which you place implants in to determine the size you think will suit you and what you are comfortable with.
As soon as I saw the size I ended up going with I knew it was perfect and right.
Nilesh made the whole experience easy and I never felt like I was pushed into my surgery or into having a certain size/look.
I decided to go through with the surgery and Carolyn, hi PA, phoned me the next day with the date of my surgery, pricing and other details. I was also contacted by Teresa, the cosmetic specialist nurse who took me through a questionnaire and answered any of my queries.
My surgery date came round and I was lucky enough to be first into surgery as i was a daycase. The morning of my surgery I was checked over by a nurse, had a chat with and had my surgery marks drawn on by Nilesh & got chance to speak to my anesthetist all of which put me even more at ease than I already was. I was walked down to surgery and was surprisingly calm. Even though I was in a hospital gown, awful compression stockings and funny pants!
The next thing I remember is coming round and being checked on every half an hour.
I felt extremely well looked after and safe.
Nilesh came to see me once I had come round but I can’t say I remember much of it. My subsequent meetings with Nilesh & Teresa were perfect. Teresa checked how I was healing and put new coverings over my scars & Nilesh checked my breasts over.
My breast augmentation is easily the best decision I ever made, Well the best decision I ever made was to go with Nilesh. I am so pleased with how they look and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
I want to thank Nilesh and his team for making me even happier than I was before.

Here is a short piece about my breast augmentation I had in September 2012.
I was always the girl at school that had no boobs and it made me so self conscience, as I got into my mid teens all of my friends were developing and not me. I had always been very skinny so I got away with it growing up, but at 18 I started to consider having implants as looking in the mirror and seeing my flat chest was awful, also things such as clothes – I could never wear low cut tops, my clothes would hang off me and most of all I was never able to fill a 32AA bra.
So after much research, at 20 I went for a consultation with Nilesh Sojitra at Cosmetic Surgeons London after being recommended by a few friends. Straight away I was made to feel comfortable. Nilesh explained the whole procedure which put me at ease. I was able to try on the implants to decide which size I would go for and agreed that 32D was perfect for my physique. As soon as I got home from the consultation I knew I was going to go ahead so 2 days later I booked in for 5 weeks later which I thought was excellent as I thought I would be waiting at least a few months before I could have it done.
The morning of the operation came and I was at Spire Harpenden Hospital at 7am. I was so excited I couldn’t wait, all of the staff at the hospital were excellent I couldn’t thank them enough for making me feel so comfortable. I was escorted down to the theatre room where I was given my anaesthetic and the next thing I remember was coming round in the recovery room and feeling very tight. After a while I went back to my room and had nurses coming in every half hour checking on me – they were fantastic.
At around 3pm I was discharged from hospital and driven home to rest. The first few days were painful for me as I had the implants placed behind the muscle but after 5 days I was back at work.
It has now been over 3 months and I have never been happier with my body. I can now go underwear shopping which I had never done as I found it too embarrassing and also buying clothes now is great as I feel like a woman. My boobs turned out exactly a 32D and I feel great. I am no longer worried about my body. I walk with pride and not hunched over. It is without a doubt the best money I have ever spent.
I could not thank Nilesh and his team and all at Spire Harpenden enough for making me feel so at ease with my whole experience.

For years I wanted to have a boob job but there is always a doubt in your mind, will it go wrong, what will it look like, is the surgeon any good.
I chose Nilesh as my surgeon through a recommendation from a friend. As soon as I walked into his consultation room i felt at ease. A warm welcome and a smile. The first consultation and i was sat with the surgeon, other consultations that i have had have been with the nurse then you go back to see the surgeon… which i feel is a long winded process.
Nilesh was very professional in his approach and didnt give me a sales pitch, he simply asked what i wanted to achieve, measured my chest, gave me a bra with the size i said i would like to go to and a white vest top, so i could try on implants to get an idea about the size, what would suit me best, what they would look like in a top and what would suit my frame. It is a very hard decision because of the amount of money you are about to invest but not once did i feel rushed or pressured to hurry along with my decision, he let me take as long as i wanted, showing my mum, constantly going back to the mirror and answering any simple, silly, complicated question i had. I said maybe i should go bigger and Nilesh advised me wisely that i asked for a natural look and if i went any bigger they would end up looking fake…. his honesty won me over.. i wanted to book then and there but Nilesh and his medical secretary Carolyn advised me to go home and think about it, there was no rush to make a quick decision. I left feeling very happy and confident that he was the surgeon for me….
The next day i booked my surgery date!!
i started to doubt the size i chose when speaking to friends and acquaintances, Nilesh said you need to be happy with what you choose, if you are having doubts then come back to see me and we can try different sizes for you again… i knew from this Nilesh wanted a happy customer, not just a healthy bank balance!! I had every confidence in him and his team and could not wait for May 2nd 2012!!
The day arrived and i was so excited!! I was taken to my room to relax and settle in, Nilesh came round to check on me, to take photos of the ‘before’ and to reassure me, explaining what was going to happen.
A couple of hours later i woke up with my new boobs! I couldnt be happier! Nilesh came to check on me after surgery to ask if all was ok, and of course it was!!
A couple of weeks later i went back for a check up and to have my stitches out.. this was the bit i was dreading as i am very squeamish, but Teresa, the nurse put me at ease, she is so friendly she soon takes your mind off what she is doing… but it didnt even hurt, she cleaned the area and asked me how it was all going, Nilesh then came in to have a look and was really please with the recovery…
I had the nurse, Teresa and secretary Carolyns numbers for any questions or concerns i had, day or night i could phone which was so comforting to know when you have just had surgery. I was given so much information on the procedure, pre and post op that i felt like i was really being taken care of.
A month into having surgery i experienced a pain in one of my boobs, i called Carolyn to ask, who informed me Nilesh was on holiday but would contact him to find out, within an hour i had a call back to say the pain i had explained was completely natural and can occur for up to a year after surgery. I knew i would be recommending a surgeon who could take time out of his holiday for the care of a patient.
10th August arrived… 3 month check up!! Nilesh and the nurse Teresa were very happy with the results and took pictures for the ‘after’ surgery. He was pleased with how the scarring was healing and most importantly asked what i thought….
I could not be happier, you can barely see the scarring, the healing process was so easy, only soreness and slight discomfort but not painful, the reaasurance and the support that Nilesh and his team provided me with was amazing. I had big confidence issues before stepping into Nilesh’s consultation room, but when i walked in 3 months later, i was a different person. They are so natural looking, sit nicely and scarring is so minimal, but best of all as my family and friends say, its the smile on my face that they notice.
Thank you so much for all your care and professionalism. A great and honest surgeon.

I have been thinking about having breast implants for a number of years now
as my breasts went down to a AA cup after having my son. I could never fill
a bra and always had to wear padded ones and longed to be able to fill a
lacy bra!
I finally decided to go for it this year. A colleague of mine had
breast surgery and she recommended Mr Sojitra as she was very happy with her
results.
I was very concerned about being too big as I have quite a small frame and I
didn’t want it to look obvious that I had ‘fake’ breasts. I had a
consultation with Mr Sojitra where I tried a few implants and decided on the
ones that I thought looked the best for my frame.
I went into the hospital early in the morning and was out by the evening
which was great, no over night stay! When I woke up from the anaesthetic I
was very pleasantly surprised that I wasn’t in very much pain. Obviously a
bit tender but I really thought it would be much more painful! They were
quite swollen at first and I had to wear a sports bra which was given to me
day and night for 3 weeks and then just during the day for the following 3
weeks. I thought I’d hate wearing it all the time but actually quite the
opposite as it was so comfortable and in fact when I took it off by breasts
felt quite heavy and tender so I was always keen to get it back it on! I
didn’t drive for about a week and didn’t exercise for 6 weeks. I was back at
my office job after a few days and back to running after about 7-8 weeks.
I am so pleased with the results and can’t believe how natural they look and
feel! They are much softer than I imagined they would be and are the perfect
size. I am now approximately a D cup. After 3 months they are a little numb
in places as are my nipples but I am assured the feeling will eventually
come back.
I’m so glad I went ahead and got them done and all my friends can’t stop
saying how great they look and so natural. No one would ever think by
looking at me that I have implants.
I definitely chose the right consultant.
Many thanks

I saw Mr Sojitra at Spire Harpenden regarding a change of the dreaded PIP implants which had been put in by another company in London. I first spoke to his receptionist whom I found to be extremely helpful and pleasant. She gave me all the information and prices that I asked for and we then arranged a consultation. Once I met Mr Sojitra at my consultation he reassured me that I would be in safe hands and put all of my worries to rest as he answered all my questions and listened to what I wanted and also advised me on what would be best for myself. He advised that I went for a more robust implant and I was very pleasantly surprised when he said that he does not charge any extra for a different implant unlike other hospitals that I have found. A lot of companies try to make a profit out of good quality implants. He only uses life time guarantee implants against rupture. I found the service to be worth every penny and I would gladly recommend them to anyone. I know where I will be going back for my next procedure :) G (Herts)
