I have been seeing Dr Iqbal for around two years now. After finding out I had the BRCA1 gene mutation I decided to go ahead with a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Dr Iqbal talked through all the risks the procedure comes with before the surgery and saw me multiple times to ensure I wanted to go ahead. Although the medical results for the double mastectomy and reconstruction were effective, the implant that I agreed on resulted in a rippling effect on the upper breast which made me extremely unhappy. Dr Iqbal took the time to listen to my concerns and agreed a second surgery to change the shape and size of the implant and reduce the skin rippling. I am a week post op now and I couldn't be more happy with my results so far. As one of Mrs Iqbal's younger patients who still does not have children, my body image is something I still find important. Mrs Iqbal understood this and was so paitent with me. (I wasn't the easiest paitent at times!) Thank you for making me feel more myself again, it's been a rollercoaster two years!
