HEALTH+WELLNESS FOR A BEAUTIFUL YOU, CHOOSE BELLA VOU RECORD NUMBERS OF BRITS ARE GOING UNDER THE KNIFE EACH YEAR, WHETHER THAT'S IN A BID TO STAVE OFF THE EFFECTS OF 'OLD FATHER TIME' AND REVERSE THE AGING PROCESS, OR TO IMPROVE THEIR CONFIDENCE WITH AESTHETIC SURGERY OR NON-SURGICAL ENHANCEMENTS. FUELLED BY THE INFLUENCE OF HOLLYWOOD A-LISTERS AND SOCIAL MEDIA STARS, COSMETIC SURGERY HAS EVOLVED FROM THE PRESERVE OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS TO THE MAINSTREAM, BECOMING MORE AFFORDABLE, ACCESSIBLE AND ACCEPTABLE IN THE PROCESS. That's certainly the case at one of Kent's leading cosmetic surgery clinics, Bella Vou, based at a stunning, state-of-the-art clinic on The Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells. The private clinic, which opened its doors in August 2015, offers an extensive range of surgical, non-surgical and hair restoration treatments. With a reputation for excellence, the majority of the clinic's patients are introduced by word of mouth, in testament to the lengths the clinic goes to order to make every client feel special. "The name Bella Vou means 'beautiful you' and that's exactly how we want each and every one of our clients to feel as a result of their cosmetic surgery experience with us," explains Amir Nakhdjevani, lead consultant surgeon at Bella Vou. "Bella Vou is far more than just a consulting clinic; we are a boutique hospital, offering bespoke cosmetic surgery treatments and care that is tailored to our patients' specific needs, delivered in a safe, luxurious and relaxing setting." What makes Bella Vou so attractive to potential clients is the expertise and friendly, professional manner of Amir Nakhdjevani and his team. Amir has pioneered many minimally invasive surgical techniques, following similar principals to keyhole surgery. Many of the procedures, including the clinic's unique Concept TM Facelift, neck lifts, eyelifts and hair transplants, are performed under a local anaesthetic, avoiding the unnecessary risks of a general anaesthetic 128 while giving outstanding results and considerably reducing patients' discomfort and recovery time. Usually clients don't need a hospital stay and the majority of procedures are walk-in walk-out, ensuring patients can get back to their normal life as quickly as possible. Amir ’s pioneering methods have earned him a place on Real Self's Top 100 plastic surgeons – he is the only surgeon in Europe to receive the prestigious accolade. Amir learned his skills in distinguished hospitals in England and overseas, including the McIndoe Surgical Centre in East Grinstead (where Alexander McIndoe and his “guinea pig club" pioneered plastic surgery treatment during World War II), before launching Bella Vou two years ago with Clinic Director, Roger Bigwood. Amir continued: "At Bella Vou we want our customers' experience of cosmetic surgery to be entirely positive. We see their procedure as a journey that starts with a detailed consultation and ends with the result they desire: a result which enhances their natural beauty, so that their appearance matches how they feel on the inside. "Our clients can be assured of the highest standards of care, safety and excellence, from their initial consultation with our exceptional plastic surgeons, through to their procedure and all post-operative care. We are very transparent about our pricing, so clients won't get stung by hidden costs and added extras. Our surgeons keep in close contact with their clients throughout their journey, ensuring a continuity of service that is both reassuring and relaxing, and which ensures the very best results."
