I cannot thank Mr Stuart Robertson enough for giving me back my confidence through his highly skilled work as a surgeon and his compassionate and caring nature. I initially went to Mr Robertson back in November 2020 as I discovered a hard lump on my right breast. It did unfortunately turn out to be breast cancer however from the first meeting with Mr Robertson I had confidence and reassurance as he said to me ‘whatever it is I am going to sort it for you’. From then on that is exactly what Mr Robertson did. After explaining my options and risks associated with each one, I chose to have the Therapeutic Mammoplasty procedure, which involved removal of the tumour and reshape of the breast by removing tissue and skin. The result was successful with the tumour and a good margin removed, and the reshape Mr Robertson did was excellent. His skill was clearly evident, not only did he reshape the breast for it to still resemble a breast he also filled in the hole where the tumour was removed with some of my removed skin tissue. I was very happy that the tumour had been removed and how the new breast looked given everything I had gone through. Mr Robertson is a highly skilled surgeon, and he explains things very well, clearly and with compassion and care to his patients which is why he is highly recommended. I now had a further decision to make if I wanted to have my left breast reshaped and undergo a Contralateral Symmetrising breast reduction. Mr Robertson talked through with me the procedure and recovery times and the benefits I would have. As I now had one large breast and a smaller breast, I had found myself not wearing tops I would have normally chosen due to the difference that could be seen and I found myself almost trying to hide the larger breast when in public my hunching over when I walked. I decided to undergo further surgery with Mr Robertson earlier this year and I have to say it was the best decision I made. Immediately after surgery I could see the difference and more importantly the wave of confidence I suddenly had back. I am now 8 weeks since surgery and the healing, scars swelling are all going very well. Due to Mr Robertson highly skilled surgical skills, his care and compassion he has given me my confidence back and now I can walk in public head held high and shoulders back! It is never easy going through a serious illness, however having the best medical team and surgeon is important and that is why I would highly recommend Mr Robertson for your care.
