I had my surgery with Mr Tuffaha two weeks ago and everything has gone well. I had my very old implants exchanged as I had a capsular contracture. I was very nervous about the surgery but Mr Tuffaha put my mind at ease. His whole team were wonderful . I highly recommend him.

Mr Tuffaha has treated me for a large breast cancer. Consensus was that I needed a mastectomy but he has removed the cancer & saved my breast. He also performed a bilateral augmentation to retain symmetry. The incisions were very small with minimal scarring. V. happy with result

I decided after 18 years of breast implants I no longer wanted them in my body or to have to worry about needing future replacements. Two pregnancies and age had taken their toll on them and they had become saggier, unsymmetrical and the areoles much larger and different sizes. The idea was very daunting as I was unsure how I would look after as when I had the implants put in at age 20 I was very flat chested. Mr Tuffaha exceeded my expectations of what was possible in my situation and I am very pleased with the results. I had implant removal, uplift and fat transfer resulting in a modest symmetrical perky bust. It is amazing what he has achieved and I am very grateful for his work. The whole assisting team were wonderful, kind and really helped support me through the process. The recovery has been amazing, minimal pain and wounds are healing nicely. Thank you to everyone who made this possible I am forever thankful

I’m 10 days post op from a breast reduction with Mr Tuffaha and my experience has been brilliant! From the initial booking with Katie to the post op care appointments with Lily I’ve been very well looked after. Jean was my nurse on the day of surgery and he was also wonderful! I’ve wanted this surgery for 16 years and was extremely nervous about the post op pain but I can honestly say it was painless throughout, slight discomfort and soreness after but no pain which I was blown away by! I stopped taking pain meds on day 3. The process has been straightforward and I’m so glad I’ve finally had it done. If I were to do it again or recommend anyone I would certainly recommend Mr Tuffaha! I have full trust in his ability as a breast surgeon, you are in good hands with Mr Tuffaha and his team!

I felt very comfortable with Dr Tuffaha. He is extremely confident and is an expert in the job that he does. He was very honest and gave me options and explained every thing in detail that I needed to know. He is the best consultant that I have ever had. Right from the start and the after care , I felt very safe and I knew that I was in good care. All the staff were amazing. Constantly asking me if I knew what surgery I was going to have and had every thing been explained me. At any time I knew that I could ask a question if I needed too. Thank you Dr Tuffaha and staff.

I had been unhappy for some years about my bust size and finally plucked up the courage to have a breast reduction. Mr Tuffaha and his team were excellent and kept me well informed throughout the whole process. I am now four weeks into my recovery and couldn't be any happier with the outcome.

Mr Tuffaha was absolutely amazing to deal with, he listened to exactly how I felt and what I would like to achieve! I was so nervous when I went to my consultation but he made me feel so comfortable and at ease! He cares about how you feel and what you want! He made him self available at all times to talk to from day one! He was able to answer every one of my questions and helped ease any of my worry’s or concerns! Day of surgery he was amazing with me and the results it what I got I couldn’t have asked for better, I got exactly what I wanted size and shape! Recovery was totally unexpected was up and moving with in a few days and no pain after about day 5 just uncomfortable as expected! I was back driving on day 6 and back to work the following week! I have no visible bruising what so ever! On day 10 I had my post op check up and I couldn’t believe the results, minimal scaring and healed very very well! I would recommend him to anyone wanting work doing! He is honestly amazing in what his does!

Mr Tuffaha offered personal and professional advice prior to my breast augmentation surgery, helping me decide what was best for me. I felt confident I was with a surgeon with plenty of experience which put my mind at ease prior to my surgery. I am so pleased with my results and they are much better than expected. I also had excellent after care with 2 follow up appointments with all my questions answered.

I am 3 weeks post op from a breast augmentation and am extremely happy with my results so far, although final results will likely take up to 6months. During my initial consultations I felt that my concerns and hopes were listened to and my job/lifestyle were also taken into account to pick the best placement for the implants and also the size. Dr Tuffaha had ordered a range of sizes for the surgery day to see which best met my goals. The actual surgery day went very smoothly, all of the staff at Ipswich were kind and caring. I felt very well looked after whilst under their care. Recovery has been smooth sailing and if anything, much better than I was expecting it to be. I have had 2 post operative appointments to check how things are going. As all is healing well, I shouldn't need to see Dr Tuffaha again, but I know that should I need any guidance or support I am able to contact him or his secretary, with any further appointments up to 1year post op being included within the package. I am genuinely so happy with my experience and I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Tuffaha and his team.

I first met Mr Tuffaha when he gave me my breast cancer diagnosis, at an incredibly difficult time he was the person that made sense. He was kind but honest and reassured me from the very first instance. My cancer was large so he had to do considerable reconstruction both sides as well as remove the cancer. I am delighted with what he has done, I will be forever grateful and cannot recommend him enough. I have told him regularly I love him! He is incredibly skilled, but also true to his word. Thank you Mr Tuffaha.
