on the forehead. � e Harley Street Nose Clinic has extensive experience in Botulinum injections (commonly known as Botox), which can be used as a minimally invasive method of treating these lines. As a consequence of muscle relaxation due to Botox, these expression lines are smoothed or disappear entirely.

In addition, Botox may be used successfully to reduce excessive sweating as well as for excessive saliva production. Botulinum is also a potential treatment for tension head-aches, migraines and teeth grinding.

To reduce volume de� cits or increase volume in special areas, dermal � llers can be used. � e Harley Street Nose Clinic only uses hyalu-ronic acid � llers as this material is naturally found within the body. Many di� erent forms of these � llers are available, allowing suitable prod-ucts to be chosen to treat any depth of lines in the facial area. Finer � llers are suitable for the treatment of early super� cial lines, lip lines and early-onset forehead lines. Deeper lines may be treated with higher cross-linked, stronger preparations. Facial contours can also be improved by this treatment and an immediate, striking rejuvenation of the treated area can be attained in a short time. Additionally, speci� c hyaluronic preparations are perfectly suited to enhance lips by revitalising contours and volume.

PROBLEMS, SNORING,

ASSURED THE EXPERT TEAM WILL ADDRESS

Harley Street Nose Clinic— ethical excellence � e Harley Street Nose Clinic provides an award-winning highly-specialist surgical service based in central London

for both these nasal prob-lems to give you a nose that looks great and works � aw-

lessly. � e initial consulta-tion takes place in one of the

clinic’s central London loca-tions where the team will take

time to listen to and understand the concerns you have about your nose, and conduct a thorough examina-tion of your nose. � e Harley Street Nose Clinic uses image manipulation to help guide decision-making and creates a personalised, realistic plan to achieve a natural-looking result without the obvious trademarks of surgery.

� e team will discuss in detail the optimal approach to achieve the results you want. � ere are two main rhinoplasty techniques: closed and open rhinoplasty. Excellent results can be accomplished with open as well as closed (scar-less) rhinoplasty. Some advantages of closed rhino-plasty are the absence of visible scars and less swelling; the advantages of open rhinoplasty are improved ability to deal with problems with the nasal tip and correcting problems with previous rhinoplasty surgery. � e Harley Street Nose Clinic believes the technique needed is individual to you and will discuss this in detail.

Where appropriate, the latest technology is used, including Ultra-sonic Rhinoplasty (Piezo-Electronic surgery) which reduces the pain, swelling and bruising postoperatively

and leads to a faster recovery with more natural results.

FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERYAs surgeons with extensive expe-rience in facial plastic surgery, the Harley Street Nose Clinic also o� ers a full range of facial enhancement surgery and procedures, including ear re-shaping and eyelid surgery.

One of the most common facial complaints is protruding ears, mainly caused by failure of the ear to develop normally or where the ears look di� erent on each side. � is can lead to emotional distress, especially in chil-dren, due to bullying. Surgical correc-tion can be life changing and is rela-tively straightforward.

Droopy eyelids are very common particularly with ageing and they can dramatically a� ect the way a face looks. � e Harley Street Nose Clinic is able to o� er treatment for this (bleph-aroplasty), which will give your face a rejuvenated appearance without the obvious signs of surgery.

NON-SURGICAL FACIAL AESTHETICS Skin overlying muscle in the face is susceptible to the early develop-ment of expression lines (wrinkles), particularly with pronounced facial expressions. Typical examples are the vertical ‘anger lines’ between the eyebrows (glabella lines), ‘crow’s feet’ around the outer corners of the eyes, and ‘worry lines’, the horizontal lines
