just wanted to say a huge Thank you for everything. I am absolutely thrilled with the results and so is my husband. It really was an amazing experience and I feel that I was in great hands. Please say a �thank you� to the anaesthetist Bela who really put me at ease before my surgery and whole team that worked with you at the Highgate hospital. Everyone was lovely, professional and caring. I am a very, very happy client and would highly recommend youself to anyone I know. I know 100% I made the absolute right decision having my surgery performed by yourself. Thank you very much.

Dear Mr Vadadoria,

I am writing to thank you very much for my surgery; it has been a very positive change for me. I almost feel the old me again.


It was November 1991when I gave birth to my first child a son & which I am very proud of & love very much, but after I had him my breasts went to nearly a size double FF with the milk & the nurses had to bind me up with sheets as I could not even lift my arms or fit a bra on to support my breasts for the first 3 day. After the milk dryed up all I was left with was skin, this is where my problems started.

I covered this up for years keeping busy trying to accept that this is how it would have to be, then in 2005 I gave birth to my 2nd child a beautiful daughter which I love very much also, but the state of my breasts just got worse from this stage onwards to the point it was taking over my life & I was just so unhappy & low I could not function any more I just cried none stop & became so lost & low I gave up on everything.

I went shopping one day to a proper bra shop to be measured & the assistant told me she could not measure me as the skin was so low she didn't think I was even an A cup, this just made me realise how much I had to do something about it, I just could not go on like that so I asked to be referred to a specialist. my husband thought it was a small price to pay for having 2 lovely children to which I agree but he was still been very supportive through it all & never judged me, he only ever said I was fine the way I was & to grow old gracefully as they say, but it was inside me & I had to try & fix what was making me feel so low. I have problems with my back & always will & thank you for looking out for my health first. I find now I can cope with my back more as I have that fighting spirit back in me & want to do more. I go swimming again which helps & my friends say I am happy but I feel like a new person. I used to wear 3 chicken fillets as they call them on each side of my bra every day to look normal to people & so after the surgery nobody would notice. I never wanted the surgery to show off, I just wanted to feel feminine & look normal & I do look normal now & I feel so happy. I still wear my baggy jumpers as I did before but I feel so happy inside that I am not covering anything up anymore. I would just like to thank you again as it has made me want to get up in the morning again.

I wanted to write a huge thanks to everyone involved in my recent surgical procedure.

I understand that it is rare to have breast surgery through the NHS and could even be phased out in the near future. So I consider myself to be extremely lucky. Having this surgery has changed my life in many different ways, I now feel, two months post operative, a totally different person. I would like to share with you exactly how grateful I am.


Before having my children I was, what I considered to be small chested, but I definitely had breasts. I was very confident in my own body and enjoyed life fully. At the age of 26 my husband and I had our first child. I enjoyed my daughter so much we wanted a brother or sister to complete our family. It was after having our second child and breast feeding him for eight months that my breasts got a lot smaller. Thinking back it was at this point that I became depressed about my body. My self confidence seemed to disappear. I stopped socialising as much and only went to the shops for clothing when it was necessary. I started to think about breast augmentation but knew I would never be able to finance it myself. I went to my doctors to enquire about it, only to be told that I could not get it done through the NHS, and to massage them as this was proven to encourage tissue growth. Although feeling very foolish, every evening I tried this until I realised it just would not work.

I love my husband dearly but loosing most of my breast was affecting our relationship intimately. Having breasts to me is part of being a woman, not having them left me feeling unfeminine, I felt like a boy. I didn�t want my husband to look at me as I would get embarrassed. I didn't want him to touch me because I was disgusted at how 'freakish' I looked and would feel.

After thinking about it for some time I decided that I wanted another baby. Even although I don't like to admit it, a huge reason for me wanting to get pregnant again was so that I was happy and confident in my own body. I remembered how my breasts grew during pregnancy and convinced myself that this time round there was the possibility that they might stay at a normal size after feeding. This might sound totally ridiculous but at the time I thought this to be a good idea.

Having our third child was not a mistake. He is a lovely boy and now completes our family. But my plan did not work. The exact opposite happened and all my breast tissue literally disappeared. Now I was at my lowest. I had what I felt was a deformality. I would cry, get angry and hate myself for looking like such a freak. I wondered why my husband wanted to stay with me when there were normal women out there with breasts. I felt like a pre pubescent teenager. I had to use breast enhancers in my 32AA bra to give me any sort of shape. They would stick to my skin if I got too hot, they itched horribly and had a terrible smell. However I simply could not go out without them. I had to wear tops with a high neck line which was okay in the winter but come the summer you can't get away with a polo neck! My two youngest children have never been in to a swimming pool, the thought of my breast enhancers falling out in the water was enough to put me off and there was absolutely no chance I would go without.

Again, feeling that someone might be able to help me I went the doctors once more. I was told that they could refer me to a surgeon but I would have to fund the operation myself. I was in despair, but something made me try once more. I just felt that maybe if a doctor was actually willing to listen fully or even to actually look at the fact that I had absolutely no breasts, there might be a chance that they would help me take it further. I was so frustrated because it wasn't that I wanted to enlarge my breasts to a DD cup. I wasn't one of the girls that wanted huge breasts, I just wanted breasts! In my eyes it was a visual deformality. If you are born with larger than normal ears the NHS will offer you treatment to resolve the problem, as it can be very distressing to have something that is visually different to the norm. I felt exactly the same. A part of me was completely different than the norm, a part of my female identity. Sometimes I would try and convince myself that it was only my breasts, things could be a lot worse and to love myself the way I was. But the fact still remained that I didn't just have smallish boobs I had no boobs.

However I couldn't believe it when the interim doctor I saw phoned me at home to tell me that he would refer me to a doctor at Dumfries Infirmary. This was to be the first step to achieving happiness.

I am sure you know the process I went through after that initial doctor's appointment. A year and half later I am a totally different person. I still feel as if I am walking on air and the luckiest person alive. My confidence has definitely returned and I feel totally complete. The clouds have cleared and the old Eleanor has returned. My husband has commented on my new tall posture, I wasn't aware of how stooped I had become. Every person has something they don't like about their bodies, for example I think my thighs are a bit skinny, but it is a small niggle, absolutely nothing like losing my breasts, as that was part of my female identity. Since the operation I have had a couple of nights out which I thoroughly enjoyed, I was even caught dancing, something I would have shyed away from before. Clothes shopping is a thrill and my kids can't wait for mummy to take them to the swimming pool. And the bedroom, well yes my confidence has definitely returned!

The night before my surgery I was extremely nervous. I had my family to think about, but I just knew I had to go through with it. All the staff that took care of me were absolutely fantastic! As soon as I booked myself in to the ward I was made to feel at ease. I knew straight away I was in good hands. Everyone was so thorough, checking details again and again. A lovely nurse was assigned to look after me. She was super! Calm, caring and consistent. The anaesthetist was lovely, she knew I was nervous but her calmness and understanding automatically made me feel happier. All the staff in the pre/ post operative ward were also super. Everyone from the porter to the surgeon were extremely caring, I admire their professionalism. As for the surgeon, I will never know how he does his job but he definitely does it well. I am delighted at the results; in fact I don't think I could be happier! I will always be grateful to him.

I have huge thanks to everyone involved in helping me get to where I am now. And a special thanks to Mr Vadodaria. He has changed my life. I just hope that girls, who are at present going through the pain that I went through, will be lucky enough to receive the help that I got.

Forever grateful

I had breast augmentation surgery in June 2008, it took me 20 years to pluck up enough courage to go and talk to someone, because you think everyone will think you are doing it for all the wrong reasons, but it was the best decision that I have ever made it has changed my life, in the run up to the surgery I did have my doubts whether I was doing the right thing but every time I thought about how depressed I felt, always covering up in public, never going swimming with my children, feeling sick to the stomach when I had to go shopping for clothes knowing I would never get something to fit properly, shying away when my partner went to touch me or look at me, I knew I would regret it if I did not go through with it. With the support of my family and the medical staff I had the surgery.


The first two weeks were hard and I thought what have I done, but now things are getting better I feel really good, and I am really lucky I have a partner who has been with me all the way. We went on our first beach holiday with friends, I go out without covering up and don't even think about it, I have went shopping without getting embarrassed and because I covered up so much before and never went too big, no one has really noticed which is just what I wanted it. The medical staff are really understanding and supportive they made me feel so comfortable. I wish I had done this years ago. I would recommend anyone that is in the same position that I was to go and talk to someone, you will get support and it will change your life.

I hope the above is ok, and I would like to Thank You again for helping me feel better about myself.

Kind Regards

I just wanted to send a quick email to say thank you for all you have done.

I cannot believe it has only been a week and how much better i am feeling. Whilst in Cornwall last week i went to see the doctor and he was extremely complimentary about the work carried out and the 'neatness' of the wounds. In his words 'a very tidy job...'

I am feeling so much better already but i am making myself take it slowly so as not to undo any of your good work!


Whilst i was at Highgate hospital the staff we all very kind and supportive (especially the lovely nurse who looked after me throughout the night who's name i never got!!) and they made the whole experience almost a pleasure! (and no it wasn't the drugs making me think that!)

Once again, thank you to you, Margaret and the rest of your team for everything and i look forward to seeing you this Saturday....

Kindest regards,

Dear Mr Vadodaria

I just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you very much for the fantastic service you gave me last Tuesday.

I am so happy with the results and have lots of clients asking for your contact details.

Many thanks again

Hello Mr. Vadodaria, you performed a breast augmentation operation on me back on July 17. I was asked by yourself to write a story of how the operation had affected my life, well here is the story. Hope it is ok.

In July of this year, 2008, I was extremely fortunate enough to have an operation for breast augmentation. At the age of 23 this has totally changed my life.


Due to some medical reason from puberty through to adulthood, my breasts did not develop in the normal way.

For weeks after the operation i felt very strange, both mentally and physically and wondered if i had done the right thing, but three months down the line it has transformed my life. Overnight I had become a proper woman, instead of feeling like an adolescent. These changes to my body have given my life a whole different meaning. My feelings about myself have become much more positve, considering before the operation, my confidence was severely affected. I would rarely show my body off or feel comfortable in any clothes that I wore. I always wore padded bras as I was embarrassed not to.

The only way is up for me after my operation and I am grateful I was given the chance.

Thank you Mr. Vadodaria

I am a mum of two children, aged 32. I have always wanted to have larger breasts prior to my pregnancies. After having two children 18 months apart I did gain 4 stone, so I hit the gym and lost the weight. However I was still not happy with my figure, my belly button looked misshaped and my breasts were smaller than before and the skin was much looser. So I decided to have cosmetic surgery to have breast enlargement and my navel shape corrected. I was nervous but I did my homework and checked I was going to see someone professional. The operation was a complete success. I now have the perfect breasts to match my new figure. It has done a wonder to my confidence and I recommend it to anyone. My children now have a happy yummy mummy.

For a very long time I wanted to have a breast enlargement. I didn�t feel womanly, or had any confidence. The only thing that used to give me a little bit of a confidence boost and self esteemwas to wear �chicken fillets� within my bra. However as soon as I took my underwear of I was the same flat chested woman. So I decided to do something about it. I had done alot of research as well as talked to my friends who had undergone this type of procedure. One of them was an existing patient of Mr. Vadodaria and she couldn�t be any happier. So I took his number and gave his office a call.

I had two consultations and all of his team were brilliant. I even got referred to another consultant to put my mind at ease regarding my fear of operations.

On 12th March 2009 my operation took place in Highgate hospital based in North London. I had my own private room and was really looked after. It began with Mr. Vadodaria drawing lines over my breasts to plan out the surgery. His wife who is the anaesthetist, is a sweet and calm lady. What else would you need before the surgery?!

After the surgery I woke up in my room where I got help from the lovely nurse. The nurse practitioner was my favourite person as she was so gentle and lovely and I couldn�t find any better care or treatment.

After the operation I got regular appointments to monitor my progress which were complimentary.
I am really pleased with my results and the operation. It was definately worth every penny.

My experience of the operation and the preparation for it was very good. My meetings with the doctor before it were very comfortable and getting the opportunity to speak to another girl that had the same operation was a big help.

I had been thinking about having the operation for a long time so speaking to another patient and her experience only enhanced my decision.
Of course I was very nervous before the operation but that is only natural. I had read a lot of different stories online and was well prepared. That helped a lot. My biggest surprise was how much less painful it was than I thought.

I left the hospital a few hours after my operation and took my painkillers. The pain was only moderate and the only thing I found hard was to get out of bed as I was a bit afraid of using my arms. But after a week that was not a problem. A follow up visit was also organised which makes you even more comfortable and at ease.

Now it has been 6 months and I am extremely happy and wearing clothes that I would never have been able to wear before. Now I am just waiting for summer so I can wear a bikini.

I am a 55 year old who has suffered for many years due to large breasts (34H). Although I had experienced the usual problems associated with large breasts i.e. back pain, shoulder pain, skin sores, low self esteem, I was reluctant to do something about it and was eventually persuaded by others seek advice. I am now delighted that I did as I had my operation six weeks ago and I am very pleased with the results. My surgeon, Mr Vadodaria, has done, in my estimation an excellent job and my only regret is that I waited so long before doing something about this. The benefits of this operation wholly outweigh the discomfort felt afterwards.


There is most certainly some pain and general body fatique after this operation and it was two weeks before I felt began to feel well again. However, this may have been a result of a second operation following the breast reduction - this was to remove some blood that had not drained away. Apparently, this is not unusual and did not cause me any distress.

It is now six weeks since the op and there is still a little discomfort and some swelling remains but nothing to prevent me from visiting the gym next week to test my new 34DD's on the running machine. A new experience for me!!

I had breast reduction surgery in November 2007 at the age of 56. This is something which I had thought about for many years but could not quite "pluck up the courage" to do anything about it. I had always been conscious, in fact to the point of embarrassment, of my large breasts ever since I was a teenager and as I got older I began to suffer with back and neck pain.

Eventually, in November 2006, I went to see my GP who, I should say, was extremely sympathetic and understanding and referred me to a Consultant Plastic Surgeon.


In January 2007 I had my first appointment with a member of his team who felt that I was certainly a good candidate for the surgery. At that meeting she went through the procedure with me in detail.

In August 2008 I had an appointment with my Consultant who indicated to me that he also felt I was a good candidate for the surgery and again went through the procedure in detail. At the conclusion of the consultation, after digesting all the information which he had conveyed to me, I still felt that I wanted to have the surgery.

During both the above consultations as well as being informed in detail of the procedure I felt that I was again treated with sympathy and understanding which, in a situation such as this where one may feel quite embarrassed anyway, does make you feel a lot more an ease and a lot less embarrassed. I was also given an examination that same day to make that I was fit for the surgery.

I had my surgery on Thursday 22 November 2007. I was allowed home on the evening of Friday 23 November. After the surgery I was obviously quite sore and uncomfortable when I moved around but, surprisingly, I was not in a great deal of pain, certainly a lot less that I had expected following major surgery.

Following on my surgery I had several visits to have dressings changed and to check that everything was healing up nicely. I had a consultation with my Consultant approximately three weeks after surgery and a final one just over three months after surgery. At that time my Consultant indicated to me that if I had any questions or problems in the future that I was more than welcome to contact him.

I would certainly recommend to anyone who is considering this surgery, whatever their personal reasons may be but who are perhaps a little apprehensive, should certainly seriously think of taking the initial step of consulting their GP. I am certainly glad that I did and would make the same decision again. I certainly have no regrets as this surgery has literally changed my life and certainly for the better. I am much more confident in myself and now do a lot more things that I would not have done before.

The day my life changed.

After years of suffering a sore back, sore neck and sores underneath my breasts took its toll.

I was eventually referred to the hospital through my gp.Only after waiting about 8 months.


I met Dr Vadodaria at the Golden Jubilee hospital in clydebank, he totally understood my problem, huge breasts, 40e/f.I am a size 12/14 waist, so I was totally out of proportion with my chest, also buying clothes were a nightmare a size 12/14 dress was a no no.Dr Vadodaria and the other helpful staff took time to tell me the benefits and also the risks, a risk I had to take.

I arrived at hospital at 7am Monday 12 may 08, to be shown my lovely room and to be briefed

From nurses, anaesthetists, and Dr Vadodaria.I was taken away to have my breast reduction.

When I woke up I was a bit groggy but felt amazing, even managed soup and a sandwich.

Through the day and night I was cared for from a great bunch of nurses. Next morning feeling good, i was checked over by Dr Vadodaria and allowed to go home with regular dressing changes from my local gp.My healing progress was pretty good, there was someday I was sore but new it would be worth it once my dressings came off for good.

I returned to see Dr Vadodaria 12 weeks later, he was so happy with the results and me too.

My time through the last 4 months has been worth every minute. My confidence has soared, my sore back and neck is definitely getting better and my new wardrobe is fab, thanks to my husband for letting me shop shop shop. The best thing I have done ever.

Thank you Dr Vadodaria and the NHS, you, have changed my life.

Hi

The medical care I received was of a very high standard before, during and after the operation. I received a great deal of support and advice from all the professionals concerned especially Doctor Vadodaria. He explained everything that was going to happen to me and why he was doing certain procedures as he was doing them.


I expected the scars to be more prominent than they were and am pleased to say that they are fading really well.

What I wasn't prepared for was how much the reduction would change my lifestyle. For the first time in many years I was free from the severe pain that had blighted my life. I could now do a full days work without the headaches and other aches and pains. I am delighted with the outcome of my surgery and I would certainly recommend Dr Vadodaria to anyone.

Thank you once more for everything that you have done for me.

Dear Mr Vadodaria

"After enduring the discomfort of a large bust for more than 50yrs I took the decision, at the age of 71, to have a breast reduction. I was lucky enough to be referred to Mr Vadodaria as the care I received, and the results, have been fantastic. My experience was pain free and I am now enjoying life with a neat bust for the first time. I would urge any woman, regardless of age, to take the plunge and have their life changed by having this procedure performed by Mr Vadodaria."

Dean Mr Vadodaria,

I am writing to thank you for the surgery you performed on me at the Go]den Jubilee hospital in clydebank in February. I understand that breast reduction surgery is not considered a particularly important operation on the NHS but I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how much it has changed my life. As you know before any operation I was plagued with backache, shoulder and neck pain and pins and needles in my right hand from pressure on the nerves passing through my shoulder as well as the psychological symptom asssociated with large breasts. All these symptoms have since disappeared and the relief is tremendous. My general health has also improved through improved breathing and posture. I have also been able to look forward to the summer this year as, as well as being able to wear nice fitting clothes, I have not suffered the itchy and painful sweat rashes and sores I usually get. Psychologically my confidence has soared. I no longer feel that people are staring at me, shopping is no longer a dreaded chore which ends in tears and I can exercise properly, something that was uncomfontable and embarrassing for me to do in the past. I have already been out shopping and, much to my husband's amusement, discovered that at 41 years old I didn't know how my new bras should fit or look as I have always had the full cup, thick strapped styles, a bit like my gnanny would wear! The biggest impact how ever has been on my quality of life with my family. Three years ago my eldest son had a lump in his neck which we were told may be a lymphoma but after it was removed turned out to be deeply infected glands. When the swelling did not go down aften a month more tests revealed that another mass was behind the glands and which, thank God, tunned out to be a neurofibroma. After the second operation to remove this he lost the hearing in his right ear, an indication, they said, there may be another one close to or on his bnain. More tests followed but thankfully it was neither and he slowly regained his hearing over the following 18 months until it was almost back to normal. This was a traumatic time for my family but made us realise how precious life is and I promised myself that I would not miss out on one more minute of my childnen's lives. Having this openation has allowed me to have a full and active role in my childnen's lives, from bouncing on the trampoline and playing football to having a comforting cuddle on the settee. It has also allowed me to play a more active role in my job as an Early yeans Practitioner. Fon example I can now fit me and a child between the chair and the table ! All in all my life has improved greatly both physically and mentally and I can now look forward to a future I can fully take part in and contribute to and not just watch from the sidelines and for that I can't thank you enough.

For a long time, I had been very conscious of my breasts and how badly I wanted a perky upright cleavage. I decided to search for a specialist and found Mr. Vadodaria. After booking a consultation, I met Mr. Vadodaria. He was so warm and welcoming in his manner, and put me at ease straight away. After explaining to him how I felt about my breasts and nose ( I wanted revision rhinoplasty), he explained all the complications and risks in a straight forward manner, to make sure I was content with my decision. After the consultation I went home to have a think about what I wanted to do. I felt no pressure to book the surgery but I was sure that I had made the right decision. A few weeks later I had my surgery and I couldn�t be happier. My breast are now so perky and I can wear any top I desire. My nose also is exactly how I wanted it. Mr. Vadodaria has a great bedside manner with his patient�s and makes sure they are given t he best service possible.

I would recommend him to anyone wanting to have something nip, tucked or reconstructed. He will look after you and make sure that you get the best results. I would definitely go with Mr. Vadodaria if I want anything else done in the future.

I have had issues with my breasts for a long time and my confidence was being affected. At 24, I didn�t feel like my breasts were how they should be as I had breast fed 2 children and they were sagging and I was ashamed of them. I was unaware how badly it was affecting my posture as well as my confidence but now I was desperate for something to be done.

After my breast uplift I feel like a new person. I am more comfortable in my own skin, I want to show my figure off and it�s amazing to see, looking back at before and after photos just how much difference it has made to my posture as well as my confidence.

I am so glad I did something about my breasts, I can�t imagine how I would be if I hadn�t had my uplift. Now I can fully love myself and my whole life has benefitted from it!

Dear Mr Vadodaria,
I am writing to thank you for my chest reduction, I have always had a large chest from a very young age, it give me back pains, then five years ago I had a major car crash in which I had bad head injury's and I badly damaged my left ribs, I have suffered bad pain since then and I felt that my life has been on a full stop. My chest was too big and this made the pain unbearable and it made my breathing bad. I was glad that I was considered for the operation on medical grounds. My chest now is a lot better and it does not lean on my ribs now, my breathing is better and I am starting to get on now with my life again, I just can't put down in words how much you have changed my life.

I am a 16 year old, who suffered from a severe case of Gynecomastia. I have now received my operation to remove my "man boobs" and the difference is astounding, before the operation I was a self-conscious boy who would not take off his shirt in a changing room I would not go swimming or participate in certain sports. I also was bullied from the age of about 12-13 years old about my "boob" which I couldn't help having. It was not as if I had eaten too much and become over weight I was a healthy individual who had enjoyed sports beforehand. Before my operation I was overwhelmed that I was finally getting it after years of waiting. Although there was a minor hiccup before the operation I was eventually taken in. After the operation I was pretty drowsy and couldn't really think much about the difference but after a good nights sleep I started getting out of bed and with the help of the nurses started walking and was walking on my own a few hours later. The difference was astounding right away even though there was slight swelling the difference was huge, I knew right away it had been the right thing to do. I spent 3 days in hospital in absolutely no discomfort and relaxation, ok I was woken at 2 a.m. but that was to receive antibiotics. Now the drains!!! No don't worry they are painless and you hardly feel them. Getting them removed is a strange sensation but not one of pain. So guys if you think you have Gynecomastia or you have it, go for the operation it's life changing! I would like to thank Mr. Shailesh Vadodaria who was the best surgeon I could have asked for.

Dear Mr Vadodaria,

Well its a year since my full bodylift that you carried out on myself on June 22nd, 2009. And this card is just to say a very big Thank You for changing my life as I have a lot more confidence and I am a lot more outgoing in my life. And then in January 2010 you carried out two other operations on myself - my inner thighs and my chest, which are all healed really well.

I am so sorry for missing you as the times that the appointment came out I was unable to come to see you. I really did want to see you so you could have seen your lovely work that you did as well.

Once again I really want to thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

From,

Andrew.
