I had been thinking about upper eyelid surgery for some time (my eyelids, especially the right, were very fleshy, and I was aware of how my late mother's lids had become so drooped and heavy that they eventually interfered with her vision.). However, I was quite nervous. My initial consultation with Mr Nduka gave me such reassurance and answered all my questions, so much that I had no hesitation in booking my procedure. On the day, I arrived at the Montefiore Hospital for 08.00, and was home by 11.00. The procedure took about an hour, and was completely painless - i used paracetamol for 24 hours and slept sitting up for a week, and though the bruising was as predicted, I was able to cover most of it with concealer after a few days. My eyes look wider, fresher, and more 'awake' - and are symmetrical again, which makes a huge difference. However I don’t look remotely 'worked on' - it is such a natural look. I've only told three people that I've had anything done, though lots have commented on how well I look. Mr Nduka is enormously skilled and is a perfectionist in his work. He's engaging, respectful and likeable in his manner - just what I needed to set me at ease. His secretary Elaine is fantastic and extremely helpful with any queries. On the day, his nurse Sindy was wonderfully reassuring and kind. A great team. I am so pleased that fear did not get the better of me here, and I could not be happier with my 'new' eyes. Thanks so much.

Mr Nduka is an excellent surgeon, a kind magician who has beautiful people skills. He puts you at ease and looks after you. I was very nervous and apprehensive, scared of things going wrong and the pain. He skilfully performed a Blepharoplasty, a procedure to address my sagging eyelids which made me fell old and low; in fact I experienced no pain, just discomfort, and healed well. Now I've got a new lease of life and can age gracefully. An additional gain is that my periphery vision has widened and I can see more beauty in the world. Thank you to Elaine as well, the best assistant secretary ever, for the information, support and kindness. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr Nduka and his Team.

I am 2 weeks post op and I cannot fault the level of service and professionalism I have received from Mr Nduka and every single member of staff that I have encountered post and pre op. Mr Nduka’a secretary, Elaine is an asset to the team. She is friendly, prompt, reliable and approachable. Elaine will always welcome any correspondence and has offered me the upmost care and reassurance since my initial consultation. Mr Nduka himself is a magician. His attention to detail and results are like no other. I am even more happy with my results than I even anticipated. I am very impressed with his level of care pre op, during op and post op. I can not fault them and would thoroughly recommend him to anyone.

Mr Nduka comes highly recommended. Having dieted and lost quite a lot of weight after each of my children were born, my breasts changed shape completely. They sat much lower than before and were also much bigger than I wanted, so I opted for breast reduction surgery with an uplift procedure too. Four months later and I'm very happy with the results; I feel my body is more in proportion now, my confidence has increased and I no longer feel self-conscious of my breasts. Mr Nduka is a lovely, gentle person who asked the right questions and listened properly to my answers. He respected my opinions, but I know he'd also have been honest with me if he felt differently. Mr Nduka put me at ease throughout the consultations and the procedure itself, and gave excellent aftercare support.
