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 received excellent care from the beginning to end. Mr Araklitis is obviously a skilled surgeon, dedicated to his role & treats patients with respect & dignity. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Very friendly, welcoming and reassuring.

Very pleased and grateful for the procedure carried out

I have always found Ms Ding's care and attention to detail excellent. I feel very reassured and supported as her patient.

Prof. Miranda was very helpful and friendly and I'm happy with the surgeries he carried out for me.

A very welcoming reception. I was a nervous patient and I felt reassured and I’m super capable hands. Both the nurses and Mr Goutos did a wonderful job.

Mr Saeed is an extremely talented Surgeon in my experience . I was recommended to go to him by another surgeon who said Mr Saeed is excellent at his job . Mr Saeed has lovely bedside manner he is kind, considerate and a very compassionate man who listened to my needs and concerns about the surgery . I felt cared for at all times through the whole process from the beginning to the end, nothing was missed out . I would highly recommend anyone considering any cosmetic surgery to go to him first, as this was a second procedure which was nothing like the first procedure I had with another surgeon . I feel and look 10 years younger what a difference.
