Professional statement
Ms Shweta Aggarwal is a sought-after consultant oncoplastic surgeon based in London, who specialises in breast cancer, skin cancer and breast reconstruction alongside benign breast disease, breast lumps and fibroadenoma. She privately practises at The Skin Care Network, Nuffield Health at St Bartholomew's Hospital, Spire London East Hospital and The Holly Private Hospital alongside her NHS base at Barts Health NHS Trust.
Ms Aggarwal, who has 18 years of experience to date, is one of the few plastic surgeons in the UK who is fully trained to perform primary breast cancer surgery as well as reconstruction. Her dual practice provides her with a unique perspective in regards to aesthetic preservation while performing surgery.
Ms Aggarwal offers a full range of oncoplastic procedures including fat grafting, and chest wall perforators flaps (CWPF) like LICAP and MICAP. Fat grafting can be used in the treatment of contour deformities, scars and alongside reconstructive surgery to improve breast appearance following cancer treatment. CWPF are used for partial breast reconstruction following lumpectomy. They allow preservation of breast shape and size and in some patients, avoid the need for mastectomy.
Ms Aggarwal has an MBBS from the University of Delhi. She was ranked first nationally in the Indian National Postgraduate Entrance Exam, and completed her higher plastic surgery training in London as part of the Pan Thames training programme.
Further to her clinical practice and educational achievements, Ms Aggarwal has an impressive research background and is actively involved in professional development. Her work has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals and she is the audit, quality improvement and research lead for the Breast Unit at Whipps Cross. She is also a member of iBRA net, a group for innovation and evaluation of new surgical techniques and products, and a principal investigator for two national studies on the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) portfolio.
Ms Aggarwal is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, England (FRCSEng (Plast)), and a member of the Association of Breast Surgery (ABS). She is an associate member of British Association of Dermatology Surgeons (BSDS).

I needed a double mastectomy and reconstruction due to cancer treatment. She explained my options well and I’m very satisfied with my choice. Ms. Aggarwal and her team did an amazing job. She was very pleased with my healing process and happy to check on me when I had concerns.
