Mr William Van Niekerk – a fantastic surgeon. Highly recommend for tummy tuck with liposuction after a massive weight loss. I had an extended tummy tuck with lipo under Mr Van Niekerk’s care in November 2023 after losing over 42Kg (over 6.5 stones). I highly recommend him for his brilliant surgical skills, wonderful care and fantastic results. I’d had a lifelong struggle with my weight - once peaking at over 122kg. But after a huge effort I finally got to a place where I had a BMI of under 30. I'd lost 35% of my body weight - and managed to maintain it. Sadly, this dramatic weight loss left me with a lot of very stretched loose skin and some excess fat remaining in the tummy area and lower body. After a lot of anxious deliberation, I decided to go for it and have surgery to deal with this problem. I was extremely nervous about putting myself through an operation and wanted to be in the best hands possible. Mr Van Niekerk had been featured as one of London’s top body surgeons in a major publication, and I arranged to meet him and some others for evaluation. The other surgeons I met seemed either underconfident in dealing with the amount of work needed after my weight loss, or not particularly understanding about what I had been through to reach this point. But with Mr Van Niekirk I was impressed with everything. The entire process from first contact with his office to the extremely thorough pre-assessment process, our consultations, the surgery itself and the care given post operatively was first-class. He is very thorough in his approach and is clearly a very highly skilled surgeon. He is also an excellent communicator with a kind and gentle manner. His military background gave me confidence too and I could see his precision in action from our first consultation meeting. He took a lot of time in our sessions understanding the journey I had been on to lose weight. He was keen to make sure I was maintaining it before we proceeded. We talked through several surgical options to deal with the amount of loose skin. His amazing assistant Emma prepared costings for all the options - including a full lower body lift. After considering the costs and recovery implications of each I chose an extended Brazilian tummy tuck with lipo (lipoabdominoplasty) including the flanks. This would allow surgical time to focus on the tummy and flanks, while minimising how long I was under anaesthetic and risk. It also gave the option for me to have subsequent procedures later, if needed, when I was fully recovered. Pre surgery The pre-surgical experience was great. Consultation meetings were through and not rushed, emails were always quickly responded to by the wonderful Emma, and no question was too small. I was given clear and concise instructions about what would happen and how to prepare. I had a full pre-operative check-up including ecg, blood tests and an abdominal scan. Although I was very nervous at having the surgery in my 50s, I felt that I had chosen the best surgeon for me and was confident in my choice after doing thorough research. Surgical experience I had my surgery at the St John’s and Elizabeth Hospital in St John’s Wood, London where I stayed for one night. We began very early in the day. I met William before the operation and carefully marked me up and explained again exactly what he would be doing. The surgery went well and took several hours. Over 4kg of excess skin and fat had been removed - a lot of work! William saw me when I came around in the recovery room, and both he and the anesthetist reassured me it had gone well. I was cared for overnight and left the hospital late the following day with follow-up medications and instruction to rest. Emma was in touch regularly during my recovery to see how I was doing and respond to any questions. Dressings were dealt with at the hospital after two weeks. I saw William shortly after the operation and again at three and six months to review progress and discuss what might needed to be done in future. My recovery took a lot of rest, patience and self-care - but was well worth it! After just a few weeks my energy returned and I was amazed at my new shape. Outcomes I am thrilled to finally be rid of the excess hanging skin and apron tummy. My only regret is waiting so long to get it done! My tummy is now almost unrecognisable. I feel so much more confident and comfortable in my own skin. I can finally buy trousers with ease, and my shape looks so natural. It honestly feels as if a huge weight has been lifted from me both emotionally and physically. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr William Van Niekerk for those considering a tummy tuck, particularly after major weight loss. It is like I have finally got my body back - the relief is almost indescribable. I am so glad I trusted him to help me on this journey. The results are remarkable. Anyone choosing him will be in the hands of a brilliant, kind and caring surgeon.

Reasuring spoke very clearly and answered all my questions and gave me realistic expectations about outcomes and next steps and also possible costs involved

I have been in the care of Ms Roche for many, many years and she is absolutely amazing. Professional, caring and compassionate. I am extremely grateful for having her as my consultant and could not recommend her more highly.

The SkinStorm facial was excellent and Dr Jenny was warm and professional.

From the moment i made the decision to have Otoplasty surgery and first spoke with Mr Agha it has been a relationship built upon honesty. I went in very open and vulnerable about how i felt pre-surgery and in return Mr Agha offered his kindness and made sure I was kept well informed in what surgery entailed and how the journey would look to feeling great about my new look. This offered me immediate reassurance and I was able to fully comprehend the decisions required ahead of surgery. Through this i always felt enabled to lead with how I wanted my surgery to play out, taking on board Mr Agha’s professional guidance. In the weeks leading up to Surgery we met again for final measurements and a more formal chat about surgery day and the road to recovery to achieve the results I was looking for. Then Surgery day came and all my nerves were taken away by Mr Agha making me feel at ease. The procedure was smooth and felt relatively stress free and before I knew it I was travelling home bandaged up and ready to begin my aftercare regime. We arranged several meetings over various milestones following the surgery (2 weeks post op, 6 weeks, 3 months etc) and have now just surpassed the 6 month mark. I am delighted in the new look of my ears and head into the rest of my life with a new found confidence without having to worry about being teased on my appearance. If you are where I was just over 6 months ago, with a strong feeling that you look different to others and are not happy with your appearance to the point it was affecting your happiness and ability to enjoy life then at the very least have a chat with Mr Agha. He will tell you with honesty if he feels you qualify for surgery and once you have made that decision together he will deliver on his every word. A brilliant surgeon and professional but also a gentleman too.

Knew exactly what the issue was and very quick to resolving it

From the first consultation I felt confident that I was in safe hands. Mr Townley clearly explained the procedure and recovery and the result I could expect. The day of the operation all the staff were amazing and although it’s quite painful I felt I was receiving the best possible care. After 4 days I felt much better and after my cast was taken off two weeks later people who saw me were unaware I’d had anything done. I’m so delighted with the result and have a new found confidence. After waiting so long to get it done I couldn’t be happier. I would have no hesitation recommending Mr Townley and his team to anyone wishing to have rhinoplasty.

Mr Kumar is an exceptional surgeon who takes time to explain all matters.

Having reached my late sixties and never undergone transformational surgery of any kind, I feel extremely fortunate to have had Mr Nanidis as my consultant. From initial consultation through to surgery and post-surgical follow-up, his approach, manner and professionalism could not be faulted. I am so delighted with the outcome and would highly recommend him.

Ms Kavouni is an amazing consultant. I trust her completely. She focuses on a natural look that makes you look your best without being excessive. I would not trust anyone but her to do anything on my face or neck. She is exceptional and highly recommend her! You will not be disappointed.
