Frequently Asked Questions

You don't need to arrive with the answer. Booking a consultation at 111 Harley St. is the starting point, and our team will guide you from there. If you are considering surgery, your consultation is with Dr Yannis Alexandrides, who assesses your anatomy and goals and recommends the approach he genuinely believes is right for you. If your concerns are non-surgical, or you are simply unsure, Anna Harvey, our Head of Non-Surgical, will assess your skin and concerns and match you to the practitioner and treatment plan best suited to achieving visible results. Because surgical and non-surgical expertise sit under one roof, you will never be steered towards a treatment simply because it is the only one available. Many patients arrive with one treatment in mind and leave with a plan that suits them far better.

You can book a consultation by completing the consultation request form on our website or by calling our Patient Advisors on 0344 692 1111, available Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00. Simply tell us the treatment you are interested in, or the concern you would like to address, along with your preferred contact method and time, and our team will arrange the rest. The clinic is located at 111 Harley Street, London, W1G 6AW, and is open six days a week, including late evenings and Saturdays, so appointments can fit around your schedule.

Yes. 111 Harley St. is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the same independent body that regulates the NHS, and every treatment in the clinic, surgical or non-surgical, is performed by a qualified, registered professional working within their area of expertise. The clinic was founded by Dr Yannis Alexandrides, an American Board-certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon with over 30 years of experience and a member of professional associations including ISAPS, the American Board of Plastic Surgery, ASAPS and EBOPRAS. He is supported by an experienced clinical team, including Head Anaesthetist Dr Hish Said and Lead Nurse Zuzana Pavlovska. On the non-surgical side, treatments are carried out by Save Face accredited medical practitioners, including Dr Ivona Igerc DMD, registered with the General Dental Council, and Claudia Brand, a registered nurse and independent prescriber with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Each practitioner's qualifications and registration details are published openly on their profile pages, so you always know exactly who is treating you.

No. A consultation is an assessment and an honest conversation, never a commitment to proceed. Consultations are subject to a fee or refundable deposit precisely so there is no sales pressure: you are paying for the time and expertise of the practitioner, just as you would with any highly trained professional, and you are free to take time to consider your options afterwards. For non-surgical consultations, your £50 holding deposit can be used against the cost of treatment if you decide to go ahead. If our team believes a treatment is not right for you, they will say so and recommend a better pathway, even if that means recommending no treatment at all.

All surgery at 111 Harley St. is performed by Dr Yannis Alexandrides, an American Board-certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon with over 30 years of surgical experience. Dr Yannis trained at the University of Miami and Jackson Memorial Hospital, founded 111 Harley St. and 111SKIN, and pioneered the signature Y Facelift. The surgeon you meet at consultation is the surgeon who operates. From your first appointment to your final post-operative review, your care is led by Dr Yannis and supported by a dedicated clinical team, including Head Anaesthetist Dr Hish Said and Lead Nurse Zuzana Pavlovska.

111 Harley St. is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the same body that regulates the NHS, and every procedure is performed within a highly controlled clinical environment by an experienced surgical and anaesthetic team. Before any surgery is confirmed, you undergo a comprehensive pre-operative medical assessment led by our clinical team. Dr Yannis will only recommend surgery where it is safe and appropriate for you. Where it is not, he will advise a non-surgical or combined alternative instead.

Your consultation is an in-depth, one-to-one assessment with Dr Yannis Alexandrides, during which he analyses your anatomy, medical history, lifestyle and the result you hope to achieve. Rather than simply performing the procedure requested, Dr Yannis considers whether surgery is right for you and recommends the surgical, non-surgical or combined approach he believes will best achieve your goals. Where appropriate, advanced digital imaging may be used to help visualise potential outcomes. You will also be introduced to your dedicated Patient Care Coordinator, who remains your first point of contact throughout your journey at 111 Harley St.

The 360° approach is the philosophy of care at 111 Harley St., where surgery is treated as one part of a complete journey. It covers six stages: your consultation, skin and medical assessment, pre-surgical preparation, your surgery, structured recovery and aftercare, and long-term optimisation of your results. As the founder of 111SKIN, Dr Yannis has long championed scientifically led skincare before and after surgery. Your personalised plan may include a complimentary Skin Diagnostic Scan, medical-grade skincare, LED light therapy, nutritional guidance and specialist nursing support, all designed to prepare your body for surgery and support your final result.

Most surgical procedures at 111 Harley St. are performed under general anaesthetic or TIVA (Total Intravenous Anaesthesia), administered by our Head Anaesthetist, Dr Hish Said. TIVA is a modern technique associated with a smoother recovery, less post-operative nausea and a quicker return to alertness than traditional gas-based anaesthesia. Some minor procedures may be suitable for local anaesthetic. The most appropriate option for your procedure and medical history will be confirmed during your consultation and pre-operative assessment.

Recovery varies by procedure, but most patients return to desk-based work within one to two weeks and resume full exercise between four and six weeks after surgery. Swelling and bruising are usually most noticeable in the first one to two weeks, then gradually settle, with results continuing to refine over the following months. Our care does not end when your surgery is complete. Our specialist nursing team, led by Zuzana Pavlovska, supports you with regular follow-ups and personalised post-operative protocols. Depending on your procedure, these may include LED light therapy, ELIXIR, specialist skincare, scar and wound care and nutritional support to reduce downtime and support healing.

Scars are designed to be as discreet as possible, with incisions carefully positioned within natural contours. For facial surgery this is usually around the ears and hairline, for chest procedures within the areola border, and for procedures such as Jaw Reduction incisions are made inside the mouth with no visible external scars. Closure techniques are chosen to minimise tension, and scars gradually soften and fade over the following months. Our 360° aftercare supports this healing process with specialist nursing care, medical-grade 111SKIN products, LED light therapy and scar protocols where appropriate.

Yes. The aim of every procedure at 111 Harley St. is not to change how you look, but to create a naturally refreshed version of you, preserving your identity and expression while restoring balance, definition and proportion. Dr Yannis achieves this by working with the deeper structures of the face and body rather than relying on skin tension, and by tailoring every surgical plan to your individual anatomy. A result should never look obviously operated on.

Surgical procedures at 111 Harley St. start from £6,500, with Rhinoplasty from £10,000 and body contouring procedures such as the Brazilian Butt Lift from £12,000. Your final quotation is confirmed following an in-depth consultation with Dr Yannis and reflects your anatomy, surgical complexity, anaesthesia, your Complete Care Plan and any recommended preparation or recovery support. Finance options are available, and the clinic accepts all major payment methods. Every quotation includes the full 360° pathway of consultation, surgery, aftercare and follow-up, rather than surgery alone.

Yes. Where appropriate, complementary procedures can be safely combined into a single surgical plan, such as a facelift with a Neck Lift or Blepharoplasty, Rhinoplasty with chin surgery, or liposuction with fat transfer. Combining procedures can mean one anaesthetic, one recovery period and a more harmonious overall result. Dr Yannis considers the face or body as a whole rather than treating one area in isolation. Whether a combined approach is right for you will be determined during your consultation, always with safety as the first consideration.

111 Harley St. offers one of London's most comprehensive non-surgical portfolios, spanning injectables, advanced skin treatments and energy-based technologies. Injectable treatments include Botox, Dermal Fillers, Profhilo, polynucleotides, 111GlassSkin and Dr Ivona's signature Face Design, while device-led treatments include Thermage FLX, Potenza RF Microneedling, UltraClear laser resurfacing and Thread Lifts. With surgical and non-surgical specialists under one roof, your treatment plan is never limited to a single technology. Whatever your concern, from skin quality and volume loss to laxity, pigmentation and contouring, the most appropriate combination can be recommended for you.

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with Anna Harvey, our Head of Non-Surgical, who considers your skin concerns, lifestyle, medical history and the results you want to achieve. Rather than booking you straight in for a treatment, Anna uses her extensive knowledge of non-surgical treatments to build a bespoke plan and match you to the practitioner with the right expertise for your specific concern. Before joining 111 Harley St., Anna was a consultant and trainer to aesthetic clinics across London, and she is known for managing expectations honestly rather than overpromising. Your consultation is secured with a £50 refundable holding deposit, which can be used against the cost of your treatment.

Injectable treatments at 111 Harley St. are performed by experienced, Save Face accredited medical practitioners, led by Dr Ivona Igerc DMD, known to her patients as Dr Ivy, and Claudia Brand, our Aesthetic Nurse Prescriber. Dr Ivy has over 20 years of international medical expertise, is registered with the General Dental Council and has practised in the UK, Croatia, Slovenia, India, South Korea, Switzerland, Italy and China. She is the Founder and President of London's Academy of Face Design, the author of two industry books including Face-Mathematics and Geometry of Aesthetics, and a pioneer of treatments such as the Liquid Facelift and Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty. Her signature treatments, including Face Design, Diamond Lips, Killer Jaw and 3D Face Sculpt, draw an international and celebrity clientele. Claudia Brand is a registered nurse and independent prescriber with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, with medical experience since 2016 and a BSc (Hons) in Adult Nursing. Her expertise spans Botox, Dermal Fillers, Lip Fillers and Tear Trough Fillers, with extensive training in Profhilo and polynucleotide treatments, alongside laser, skin peels and skin consultations. Known for her attention to detail and for genuinely listening to her patients, Claudia focuses on natural enhancement that leaves you feeling confident rather than altered.

Face Design is Dr Ivona's signature injectable treatment, created to enhance the face as a whole rather than treating individual features in isolation. Using her Face Mapping methodology, Dr Ivy analyses your facial proportions, bone structure, soft tissue and movement from the front and in profile before creating a bespoke plan that may combine Botox, Dermal Fillers, Soft Threads and other injectable techniques. The approach was developed through decades of facial aesthetic experience and is now taught to practitioners and surgeons worldwide through her Academy of Face Design. The aim is facial harmony and natural-looking rejuvenation, never an overfilled or altered appearance.

You don't need to know before you arrive. That is what your consultation is for. Anna Harvey will assess your skin and concerns, explain the options honestly and recommend the treatment, or combination of treatments, most likely to give you visible results. If she believes a treatment will not achieve what you are hoping for, she will tell you and suggest a better pathway. Because 111 Harley St. houses injectables, lasers, radiofrequency, threads and skin treatments alongside a full surgical team, recommendations are led by your goals rather than by what a single device can offer.

Yes. All non-surgical treatments at 111 Harley St. are performed by qualified, experienced practitioners within a CQC-regulated clinic founded by Plastic Surgeon Dr Yannis Alexandrides. Injectable treatments are carried out by medical professionals using premium, clinically established products, including genuine Allergan Botox and fillers such as Juvederm. Every treatment begins with a consultation and suitability assessment, and all risks and side effects are discussed openly before you decide to proceed. Should a filler treatment ever need correcting, Hyalase dissolving is available in clinic, and complications can be managed by our medical team.

Most non-surgical treatments at 111 Harley St. involve little to no downtime, and many patients return to work and normal activities the same day. Injectables such as Botox, Profhilo and SKINVIVE typically cause only temporary redness or small injection marks, while treatments such as Thermage FLX and ClearLift Pro are often described as lunchtime procedures. Some treatments involve a short recovery period. Dermal and lip fillers can cause swelling or bruising for a few days, deeper chemical peels may peel for up to a week, and thread treatments can cause tenderness for several days. Your practitioner will confirm what to expect for your specific treatment plan.

Longevity varies by treatment. Botox typically lasts around three months, lip fillers three to six months, dermal fillers nine to twelve months, Profhilo around six months with maintenance, Thread Lifts up to eighteen months, and a single Thermage FLX session one to two years. Collagen-stimulating treatments such as HArmonyCa can last between eighteen months and three years. Because results depend on your skin, metabolism and lifestyle, your practitioner will create a personalised maintenance schedule so your results are sustained rather than allowed to lapse.

Non-surgical treatments at 111 Harley St. start from £280 for Botox, with Dermal Fillers from £450, Profhilo from £550, Thread Lifts from £1,500, Thermage FLX from £2,200 and Dr Ivona's Face Design from £3,500. Skin treatments begin from £190 for chemical peels. Your exact quotation is confirmed at consultation and reflects the products used, areas treated and any recommended combination or maintenance plan. Finance options are available, and your £50 consultation deposit is redeemable against treatment.

For many concerns, yes. Injectables, skin tightening, laser resurfacing and threads can effectively treat early jowling, volume loss, skin laxity, lines and skin quality without surgery or significant downtime. Treatments such as the 7 Point Facelift, Swan Neck and Thermage JawSculpt were designed specifically as non-surgical alternatives. For more advanced sagging or structural ageing, surgery may offer a more effective and longer-lasting result, and our team will tell you honestly when that is the case. As a clinic founded by a Plastic Surgeon, 111 Harley St. can recommend a surgical, non-surgical or combined pathway based on what will genuinely achieve your goals, not on what happens to be available.
