Following a diagnosis and initial treatment for Dedifferentiated Chondrosarcoma in my left arm, in January 2020 I underwent the amputation of my left arm and shoulder. Although my recovery went very well, I had an issue with my large breasts as I could no longer wear a bra and my left breast was considerably larger than the right due to lymphoedema. After having bespoke bras made and finding it increasingly difficult and uncomfortable to exercise and to dress as well as having problems fitting a prosthetic shoulder, my orthopaedic consultant referred me to Mr Woollard for a consultation. At my first consultation Mr Woollard instantly put me at ease and carefully explained what could be done. In subsequent consultations he explained the procedure and after care answering any questions before booking my bilateral breast reduction. Gillian Rolfe was superb, responding quickly and efficiently to any queries and made communications very easy. I felt confident and comfortable going into my surgery and was extremely well looked after. The result is amazing, I am thrilled with my small breasts. It has transformed my life in so many ways. I am looking forward to being symmetrical again and finally having a prosthetic shoulder fitted. Mr Woollard is a kind empathetic and gifted Consultant Plastic Surgeon who I would not hesitate to recommend.
