Ms Varghese completed her plastic surgery training in London on the prestigious Pan-Thames rotation and undertook specialist breast oncology training at Barts Health NHS Trust, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, and Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford. Her aesthetic surgery training included a formal fellowship in San Antonio, Chile, alongside further experience in leading surgical centres in London and Paris.
Dual-qualified in both plastic surgery and breast cancer surgery, she combines oncological precision with reconstructive expertise to deliver highly personalised care.
Based at The Women’s Health Centre, 27 Harley Street and Royal Free London Hospitals, she provides advanced surgical treatment focused on achieving the best possible clinical and aesthetic outcomes.
Her aesthetic surgery training included a formal fellowship in San Antonio, Chile, alongside further experience in leading surgical center's in London and Paris.
In addition to her clinical practice, she is an Associate Professor at University College London (UCL), where she is actively involved in breast cancer research, surgical education, and training the next generation of surgeons.
Philosophy of Care
Breast cancer frequently affects women in the prime of their lives. Advances in early diagnosis, breast imaging, genetics, and surgical techniques mean that outcomes continue to improve, with many women living long, healthy, and fulfilling lives after treatment.
Ms Varghese’s background in plastic and reconstructive surgery provides a strong understanding of breast aesthetics, tissue healing, and reshaping. This allows her to combine safe, effective breast cancer surgery with techniques designed to preserve or enhance breast appearance wherever clinically appropriate.
She specialises in oncoplastic breast surgery, applying reconstructive principles at the time of cancer treatment. Every patient is treated as an individual, and every surgical plan is tailored to both medical needs and personal goals. She may be able to offer additional procedures at the time of cancer removal to improve outcome.
- Breast reduction
- Breast lift (mastopexy)
- Fat transfer
- Liposuction and liposculpting
- Chest wall perforator flaps for local defect reconstruction
- Immediate and delayed breast reconstruction
- Breast augmentation as part of oncoplastic surgery
