The Doctors & Surgeons The 1% Swear By
FACIAL TWEAKMENTS
Suha Kersh
Dr Kersh’s work is the epitome of quiet luxury: subtle, precise treatments, from toxin injections to fillers, designed to enhance rather than transform. It’s no surprise she’s a favourite among the west London crowd, thanks to her expertise, skill and speed. Ifyou believe your injector should be the best advertisement for their own work, Dr Kersh is exactly that – you won’t find a pillowy cheek or inflated lip in sight.

David Jack
Dr David Jack is known for having one of the most discerning eyes in the business. He’s not one for chasing fads but he’ll invest in the latest technology – microneedling radiofrequency devices, for example – when it passes his exacting scrutiny. He has a brilliant team around him but if you want to see Dr Jack himself, it’s worth planning ahead. With clinics across London, Edinburgh and the Cotswolds, appointments can be in high demand – so catch him if you can.

Maurice Dray
A fixture on London’s aesthetics scene for decades, Dr Maurice Dray was the go-to for many of the 90s ‘It’ girls, who relied on him for their injectables. Today, his clinic remains one of the capital’s most reputable, with the daughters of those original society darlings now turning to his co-founder, Dr Benjamin, for their top-ups.

Wassim Taktouk
While Harley Street may still be London’s aesthetic heartland, some of the city’s most sought-after clinics are tucked away elsewhere. Dr Wassim Taktouk’s is discreetly positioned just off Sloane Street, making it particularly convenient for his west London clientele. The focus is firmly on skin health, with everything from advanced facials to thread lifts on the treatment menu. The expertise of the wider team is a major draw too, bringing together a professor of Dermatology and a Korean skincare expert alongside Dr Taktouk.

FACELIFTS & EYELID SURGERY
Rajiv Grover
Ask around for London’s leading facelift surgeons and it’s highly likely you’ll hear Rajiv Grover’s name come up. A former president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), he’s performed more than 2,000 facelifts during his 20-plus years as a surgeon and is widely regarded as a leader in the field. Unsurprisingly, his credentials come with a lengthy waiting list – but when it comes to your face, patience may well pay off.

Tunc Tiryaki
Dr Tiryaki is best known for his pioneering stem-cell-assisted mini facelifts – a minimally invasive, regenerative approach designed to deliver a subtle yet noticeable lift. Depending on your age and anatomy, he may also recommend fat transfer to restore lost volume or a more traditional deep-plane facelift. In other words, he has the expertise to tailor the approach to you. Based between London and Istanbul, you’ll find him at the highly regarded Cadogan Clinic in Belgravia.

Kshem Yapa
A CV that takes in Cambridge, Stanford, Harvard and the Lindo Wing is a pretty good indication of serious training. Dr Yapa has taken that expertise a step further with his ‘Deep Lift and Restore Facelift’, combining traditional deep-plane techniques with fat grafting and skin hydration. The result is designed to restore structure and volume while supporting the quality of the skin, with the regenerative properties of fat grafting offering benefits that extend beyond the initial result.

Elizabeth Hawkes
With her warm, approachable demeanour, Dr Hawkes is exactly the sort of person you’d want guiding you through an ‘upper bleph’ – the now-household shorthand for an upper blepharoplasty. Trained at both Imperial and Harvard, as well as under Professor Richard Collin, widely regarded as a pioneer of ophthalmic plastic surgery, she brings more than 20 years of experience to the table. And, somehow, she barely looks a day over 40 – perhaps a testament to her expertise.

Maryam Zamani
Best known for her expertise as a consultant oculoplastic surgeon, Dr Zamani also brings extensive knowledge of skincare and aesthetic treatments to her practice, from resurfacing lasers to injectables. It’s this combination of expertise that makes her approach to eyelid surgery particularly considered: the aim is to ensure the eyes feel balanced with the rest of the face, whether that means surgery, a tightening treatment, injectables or simply a more advanced skincare regime.

BODY TREATMENTS & SURGERY
Nora Nugent
Holding the presidency of BAAPS is one of the highest accolades in British cosmetic surgery – and Nora is one of the few surgeons to have held the role, as well as its European equivalent, the European Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. While she’s highly skilled in facial surgery, she’s perhaps best known for her breast work, from augmentation and reduction to lifts. Her results are subtle, seamless and beautifully proportioned – perky, not plastic.

Jacqueline Lewis
One of the most respected names in breast surgery, Lewis has more than 30 years of experience helping women feel confident in their bodies. A specialist in breast health, she’s also a leading figure in reconstructive surgery following breast cancer, combining oncoplastic and plastic surgery techniques to achieve results that are both aesthetically considered and medically sound.

Aurora Almadori
When it comes to intimate or gynaecological aesthetics – be it labiaplasty, post-partum tear or scar work, fat transfer or treating menopausal symptoms like dryness – you want someone highly experienced and understanding. Aurora is just that: patient, non-judgemental, discreet and widely regarded as one of the best in her field.

Galyna Selezneva
Known to many as one of London’s leading body sculptors, Galyna is the person to see if you want to tighten, tone, lift or contour without going under the knife. From fat freezing and cellulite treatments to skin smoothing and body contouring, she has an impressive arsenal of technology at her disposal – she’s a self-confessed aesthetic-tech nerd – as well as the expertise to know what will actually work. As a registered psychiatrist, she also brings a particularly considered approach to treatment, including the confidence to say when she doesn’t think a procedure is right for you.
