Ms. Aggarwal has introduced new and innovative techniques at Barts Health like perforator flaps (LICAP, MICAP) and fat grafting.

Testimonials
Dr Aggarwal was extremely professional & courteous in her manner & very gentle in dealing with me medically. She had prepared a drawing to explain how she intended to treat me, explained everything in detail and asked my permission before proceeding. She & her team were excellent
Very professional – explained procedure and more than willing to answer questions. Nice manner and made herself available at short notice to clarify a few issues regarding post-op management plan which was reassuring. Many thanks and highly recommend based on my experience.
I was looking for a specialist Plastic Surgeon to remove my old breast implants and reconstruct without further implants. There is not enough space here for me to express my deep gratitude for her caring ways, her understanding of my wishes and the final result following surgery.
I recently had corrective Plastic Surgery by Ms Aggarwal to a previous procedure following the removal of a BCC five years ago. Ms Aggarwal is caring professional who puts her patients at ease whilst fully explaining the procedure, outcome and aftercare. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Aggarwal performed a keloid excision on my earlobe and she did a wonderful job. She went through treatment options and answered all my questions during our first consult, and took great care of me during the surgery itself and after. I am fortunate to have her as my doctor.
Shweta surpassed my expectations on the care she gave me during my procedure and I’m overwhelmed by the brilliant results. Shweta gave me extremely through explanations of my procedure beforehand and I felt in very safe hands from beginning to end. Thank you so much.
Ms Aggarwal reconstructed my nose (following extensive surgery for skin cancer) ) with an excellent outcome. I feel very privileged to have been a patient of hers. She is highly skilled and extremely kind and empathetic. I cannot thank her enough.
I had my breast reduction through Dr Aggarwal. She was very professional and supportive throughout the process and did an amazing job . I have no regrets choosing her and going ahead with the procedure.
