Mr Hussein Tuffaha

Written by a NHS patient at Ipswich Hospital

It has now been 11 weeks since my operation. And can honestly say Dr.Taffaha has done an amazing job. I went in for a breast augmentation via NHS help due to suffering with one breast being a AA cup and the other being a DD, due to the NHS only providing one operation it was a big job that he had to complete. This amazing surgeon not only managed to even them out with implants,lipo suction on the large one and a lift on the large one but he managed to do it whilst making them still look good inside and outside a bra whilst still keeping them a D/DD size. In all honesty after our first consultation together I wasn't expecting them to look good out of a bra due to the complicated nature of the surgery and only being allowed one operation via the NHS, I was very pleased and excited with the outcome that I have received. This doctor has done an amazing job and with such clean straight cuts and stitching done well to make the scars as small as possible. My body has thankfully healed amazingly and the scar around the nipples look as if they are nearly gone as well as the ones underneath the breast starting to get smaller. Dr.Taffaha has been very informative and supportive throughout the whole adventure. He never once gave me false hope only facts and information to prepare me for what to expect, which honestly gave me the best surprise i could ever recieve once it was done.Honestly I couldn't thank him enough for what he has done for me as this has changed my life for the better and he is definitely a surgeon I'd have no worries about operating on me if I ever needed another operation in the future. Thank you doctor! You have changed my life and given me the confidence I have always missed.

Tomorrow I’ll be officially 6 weeks since I had the breast augmentation surgery. I have no words to describe how grateful I’m to Mr.Tuffaha. I am very pleased with the result even if my breast did not reach the final shape. Now that some time has passed and I am more aware of the whole procedure that I went through and I had time to reflect on this experience, let me share my sincere opinion. I had my first 15-minute consultation with the consultant in which my measurements were taken and I had explained what are my expectations : a result as natural as possible, without prominence at the upper pole , not small, but not big "as big as natural they can be". After first consultation I received an email with all the details about the procedure and side effects. A second 45-minute consultation followed in which we talked about my doubts and we discussed in detail, using the pictures before and after that I’ve brought. I was very scared and worried, I admit, but I think it's a common feeling for all women who go through this experience: <> these are just some of the questions I was asking myself at the time. The answer to all my questions were: Definitely YES! I was admitted to the hospital at 7 in the morning. At 11.30 I had already woken up from general anesthesia and I was the happy owner of 350 cc anatomical polytech implants. After the operation I remember telling the nurse that the level of pain I feel was 8/10, but to be honest I don't know if what I was feeling was a real pain but rather a discomfort, a very high pressure in the middle of my chest and the breast muscles very very tense, like a muscle fever pain, or much more than that. Instead, I did not experience any sore throat, as I had heard from other patients. In the first hours it was hard for me even to lift the glass of water, but when I looked down to my new boobies, any pain disappeared, I was not regreting anything. Overall, I consider myself a lucky woman: I chose the right surgeon, Mr.Tuffaha, and I have no words to thank to him! He understood very well what I wanted to see when I looked at myself in the mirror. I had a quick and easy recovery, the wounds looks very good. I started driving the automatic car after 4 days, I returned to work after 5 days, my dressings were removed after 7 days. From day to day I felt better and better. My breast muscle freaking tight, the heat in the breasts, and the very sensitive nipples were the only sensations of discomfort that I had felt. Now, after 5 weeks, I still feel my breast muscles tense, but it's a feeling that I'm getting used to and I know that one day it will disappear. I didn't have any complications as off yet. Thanks also to the secretary Katie Hempstead, very prompt and nice, and to all the Nuffield Health hospital staff who took care of me. I recommend with all confidence Mr. Tuffaha!

After 12 years of having breast implants, I decided that I would like them removed for personal reasons. Dr Tuffaha was extremely supportive and listened to and addressed any concerns that I had from start to finish. I felt 100% confident in him from the first appointment and continue to be happy with my aftercare and result.

Mr Tuffaha could immediately see the problem with my previous breast reconstruction and did surgery to correct this. I completely agreed with his recommendations and am very happy with the results. This was the 3rd time I had had surgery after my mastectomy but the 1st time by Mr Tuffaha. He has made me feel normal again.

Dr Tuffaha was absolutely great from beginning to end of my procedure. My initial consultation was extremely helpful in understanding the operation itself and answering any of my questions. My follow up care has also been brilliant. Following my operation I had some questions and it was great to have Dr Tuffaha just down the road and happy to see me at very short notice - this really helped alleviate my concerns. Dr Tuffaha has a lovely manner and nothing felt too much effort for him. Thank you once again for my procedure as it has been life changing for me.
