2014 VS 2015 Cosmetic SurgeryOur figures as published below sparked an interesting insight into this undiscovered world of cosmetic surgery for writer Tim Dowling, showing that despite the general increase across the industry we had seen a decrease in surgery for men for everything other than rhinoplasty procedures which had grown +30%. This is pretty much the team at 111 Harley St. expected as Dr Yannis’ ethos is to tackle as much of the problem non-surgically as possible before resorting to more invasive surgical procedures.
Summary of ArticleDr Yannis talks about the increase in interest of male non-surgical treatments with The Guardian. The number of men having non-surgical treatments has risen by 50% year on year. Included within the article is a before and after case study with Dr Yannis’ patient Daniel. He conveys his particular interest in Botox and states that men are now developing openness and interest as far as anti-ageing procedures are concerned. Dr Yannis’ surgical nurse also attributes the rising interest of Botox to the pressure to compete with younger people within the workplace. With a range of non-surgical procedures that provide comparable results to plastic surgery, the article predicts that the future of non-surgical treatments is promising. The soft-thread lift, non-surgical nose job, and VASER are among procedures that are of interest.
Dr Yannis highlights that patient psychology is of paramount importance in order to perform a successful operation which is why he sees such a high satisfaction rate among his patients. |

The Anatomy Of The Lip
Treating Stretch marks
Stretch marks affect both men and women, but can be exacerbated during pregnancy. Therefore, it is common for women to gain a greater amount of marks in comparison to men, particularly if they go through more than one pregnancy. They can be characterised by a change in skin colour which is normally a purple, red or brown tone and small lines or streaks that resemble scars. When touched, the appearance can feel very soft, with indentations and as though the skin in this area has thinned.
How to treat stretch marks
You may notice the first signs that they are about to appear as the affected skin starts to become thinner, flatter and a pinkish tone. You may also find the area a little itchy. They often appear on the waist, stomach, thighs, hips, lower back, buttocks, breasts, and arms, in areas that are likely to accumulate fat.
Although most people do get stretch marks at some point in their lives, certain skin types mean that you might not suffer. They occur due to a loss of collagen and as a result of rapid weight gain so that the middle layer of the dermis tears, allowing the deeper layers of the skin to show through giving the appearance of stretch marks.
To avoid stretch marks, you should aim to keep an eye on your weight and attempt to keep the elasticity levels within the skin elevated through applying collagen promoting creams and lotions. It’s unlikely that creams and lotions will be able to fade the marks very effectively and so it is more efficient to aim for prevention.
Laser treatment for stretch marks
If you find the stretch marks unsightly and they are affecting your self-esteem, you may wish to consider Laser treatment. There are a number of variations of laser treatments available to improve the appearance of your stretch marks which will be considered during your consultation.
