About THE HARLEY MEDICAL GROUP - Cosmetic Surgery Hospital |
Introduction
THE HARLEY MEDICAL GROUP A NAME TO TRUST
Deciding to change the way you look through cosmetic surgery
takes courage and a lot of consideration. It is your body, so
naturally you will want to place it in the safe hands of one
of the experts. Which is why, when it comes to quality care
and ethical practices coupled with experience and the very best
medical skills available, there is only one name to trust, The
Harley Medical Group.
Our surgeons are highly skilled, qualified, innovative and have
collective years of experience in treating problems such as
yours. We provide the highest standards of treatment and care
in our hospitals.
All our medical staff are approachable, competent and available
to you 24 hours a day. Each of our fully staffed clinics are
recognised centres of excellence in cosmetic surgery.
SETTING THE STANDARDS
Established in 1983,with over 20 years experience, The Harley
Medical Group has established itself as a leader in the field
of cosmetic surgery with clinics throughout the UK and Ireland.
We have achieved this by consistently improving and refining
our service to ensure you get the highest standard of treatment
that the medical profession can offer. In fact, 35% of all new
patients come to us through recommendation. We offer the widest
and most comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical procedures
for both men and women.
Our Medical Staff are Amongst the Best
At the Harley Medical Group, you will not meet any sales people,
just trained medical staff who have the time and the expertise
to explain procedures in detail and answer all your questions.
Our surgeons are amongst the most skilled, experienced and innovative
in their field. We employ the services of an independent medical
advisor who was previously a consultant plastic surgeon with
the National Health Service (NHS). In addition, our Medical
Advisory Committee vets both surgeons and procedures to ensure
we maintain the very highest levels of innovation, skills and
safety.
We Offer the Best Level of Nursing Care
Our highly trained qualified nurses will take good care of you.
They are specially selected by us, not only for their experience
and expertise but also for their friendliness and approachability.
You will have your own personal nurse counsellor, both before
and after your procedure to support you and answer any questions
you may have.
We Offer Excellent Facilities
Depending on the treatment you choose, your procedure will be
carried out at The Harley Medical Group`s own clinics or at
one of our fully registered hospitals. Many procedures can be
carried out under local anaesthetic as day cases, with the minimum
of disruption to your everyday routine. You will receive full,
written pre-operative instructions and will be discharged with
a comprehensive set of post-operative directions. Remember,
if you have any questions, day or night, simply call our medical
staff. All of The Harley Medical Groups clinics are registered
under The Healthcare Commission.
THINKING ABOUT COSMETIC SURGERY OR NON-SURGICAL TREATMENTS?
We have been committed to providing excellence in cosmetic surgery
and non-surgical treatments in the UK and Ireland for over 23
years. In that time, we have developed a full understanding
of the many reasons people have cosmetic surgery and how it
can improve how they feel about themselves.
In 1983, we opened our first specialist clinic for cosmetic
surgery in London's Harley Street. Today, The Harley Medical
Group has plastic surgery clinics across the UK and Ireland,
all working to the same high standards as the London centre
of excellence.
All of The Harley Medical Group's cosmetic surgery clinics in
the UK are registered with the Healthcare Commission and The
Group applies the same rigorous standards of care to the Dublin
clinic.
Skilled, experienced surgeons
Our surgeons are among the most skilled, qualified and experienced
in their fields and our nurses are specially selected for their
expertise and approachability. To help us maintain the very
highest standards in our plastic surgery clinics, we employ
an independent medical advisor who was previously an NHS consultant
in plastic surgery.
We have also taken many innovative steps to ensure your cosmetic
surgery is a comfortable experience, such as developing our
own nurse counsellors. Whatever procedure you choose, one of
our nurse counsellors will be there to ensure you receive the
very best care and attention.
You can use this website to explore your cosmetic surgery and
plastic surgery options (for example, please view our breast
surgery pages for more information on breast augmentation, breast
enlargement, breast uplift and breast reduction), before deciding
to take the next step. You can also request a brochure or a
free, no obligation consultation with one of our highly experienced
nurse counsellors.
Our most popular cosmetic body procedures for women include
breast augmentation (UK and Ireland) and breast enlargement
(UK and Ireland) as well as breast uplift surgery, breast reduction
surgery and laser hair removal, and Botox and Restylane for
the face.
For men, nose surgery and liposuction are both popular cosmetic
surgery choices.
MAKING YOUR DECISION
At The Harley Medical Group, we give you the time to talk things
through to ensure you are totally informed about and comfortable
with your forthcoming treatment. There are three separate consultations
before your treatment: an initial nurse consultation that is
without charge, a consultation with the surgeon and a further
pre-operative medical examination and briefing prior to treatment.
We Understand How You Feel
We understand that the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery
is a serious step. You may have been thinking about it for years
before summoning up the courage to call us. Which is why we
are here to listen to your needs and advise and support you
every step of the way from initial consultation through to post-operative
care and counselling.
Selecting your Plastic Surgeon
It can be a daunting prospect choosing a plastic surgeon as
there are thousands that operate in the UK, so it is important
to do your research before you book your procedure.
The Harley Medical Group, which opened in 1983 and has 12 clinics
across the country, works with the Department of Health to oversee
the regulation of the entire cosmetic surgery sector. Chairman
Mel Braham has the following advice:
Consultation:
Make sure you have your first consultation with either a Registered
Nurse, trained in cosmetic surgery counselling or with the plastic
surgeon who will be performing your operation. I would always
advise against having this consultation with a commission based
sales person, who may not have your best interests at heart.
Plastic Surgeon: Your operating surgeon should be
trained and registered in the GMC Specialist Register as a plastic
surgeon. I would recommend choosing a full-time surgeon rather
than one who mainly does reconstructive surgery with just a
little cosmetic surgery on the side. Every surgeon has to keep
a log book of their entire operating history; ask to see this
and have the surgeon explain it to you.
Clinic:
Avoid any clinic that is not registered with and inspected regularly
by the Healthcare Commission and ask to see their HCC Registration
Certificate.
Advertisements: Don’t respond to
any advertisement or website that doesn’t have the HCC logo
on it.
After care: Make sure you’ve received
all your pre and post operating instructions in writing before
you have your operation. Check that your clinic provides you
with a 24 hour number for your use after surgery.
Complaints Policy: Do familiarise yourself with the clinic’s complaints
policy; this should be on public display in their waiting room.
Re-do Policy: Ask about the clinic’s policy should
it become necessary for your operation to be re-done.
Finally, ask, ask, ask... for an explanation of anything
you do not understand.
