I had the most wonderful and gratifying experience with Mr Karidis and the rest of his team. From the time I inquired about having BA, LIPO,and TUMMY TUCK, it has been smooth sailing not to mention how Mr Karidis demonstrated his expertise in the field of Aesthetics. I witness that everytime I look at my breasts and tummy. His works are truly excellent! The entire staff were very nice too. I for one thank Stevie for checking up on me after my procedure. Still got 3 more follow up clinic appointments. Their services are Highly recommended. Thank you muchly. Ghie P.

Why did I wait so long.

After extensive research, I chose to have my rhinoplasty with Mr Karidis. It all started as a teenager with a large nose, with name calling from one individual, the torment stayed with me, whenever I heard people laughing, I would assume that they were laughing at my nose. Well, I had my cast off yesterday and I am unbelievably happy with it. Although I have swelling, my nose is now shorter, my hump has gone and my nose is slimmer. The whole experience has been far easier than I anticipated, the removal of the nasal packs was uncomfortable and having the cast off was slightly sore due to bruising and swelling. I have received exceptional care and guidance from all staff involved, but my special thanks goes to Chloe and Stevie at The Karidis Clinic, I couldn’t have got through this without them, and of course Mr Alex Karidis. Thank you all so very much, you really are exceptional, kind and caring people.

The only regret you'll have is that you didn't do it sooner !

From start to finish the customer experience was exceptional. Every member of the team not only did the job but went above and beyond.

As for the surgery itself, I am blown away. I always look to find the best person for the job and even 6-weeks post-surgery, I can confirm that I most definitely did. I'd been considering the surgery for a number of years, but now having had it done, I just wish I'd gone through with it sooner.

All in all, fantastic customer experience, and outstanding results. Karidis Clinic didn't put a finger wrong! Thank you so much!

Breast Augmentation

Nine weeks ago today I got a breast augmentation with Dr. Karidis and he has done an amazing job! I was really nervous as I had never had any plastic surgery before, but the whole process, staff, doctor, hospital visit went smoothly. They were all amazing! I cannot express how happy I am with my breast results. Dr. Karidis made them perfect! He knew exactly what I wanted and did just that.

Blepharoplasty & Tummy Tuck

I never thought I would have cosmetic surgery until I experienced years of unhappiness noticing more wrinkles and sagging build up around my eyes, I constantly looked tired even on a good nights sleep so I decided to do something about it and arranged a consultation with Dr Karidis.
He was amazing, honest, professional and I trusted his opinion. I had anxiety around the procedure having not had surgery before but I booked in and had a very pleasant and successful upper and lower eyelid operation. I was so pleased with the result that a few moths later I went on to have a tummy tuck. These two areas of my body were what was making me feel unhappy. The tummy tuck procedure wasn't as painful as I had anticipated and the recovery was quicker than I expected. I did what I was advised and rested up (difficult with three children and a puppy) but I now feel confident again to get back to wearing a bikini again which I haven't done for many years.
The after care was extraordinary. Lou and the other aftercare nurses were amazing. I was able to contact them day or night with any concerns I had which was a real comfort.
Not that I plan on any further surgery, I feel like I am done, but if I did there would be nowhere else I would go. Very happy and now poor client :)

rhinoplasty

I had a rhinoplasty with Mr Karidis and it was such an easy experience. With all the usual stresses and anxieties that come with such procedures, I felt very little and was incredibly relaxed throughout the whole journey. I had nearly zero pain and minimal bruising that went away in the first few days. So grateful for the whole of Karidis clinic for giving me a good experience

Breast Augmentation

I was really anxious about having my procedure - but Mr Karidis really is exceptional at what he does. He KNEW exactly the look I was going for with regards to my breast augmentation and I felt extremely comfortable in his hands! The surgery was AMAZING. I literally went home after 4 hours! The recovery was soooo smooth. I honestly didnt even take any painkillers aside from the day of the surgery - I can't believe how quick I bounced back - it might be because I didnt go too big but wow I was amazed at how quick and easy the recovery was! Highly Recommend Mr Karidis and his lovely team from the lovely ward nurses, to the anaesthetist and the admin staff! Thank you to each and everyone! :)

Fantastic surgeon and team

From my very first consultation right to the after care and after appointments I must say I have felt in such good and safe hands. Having breast augmentation has meant so much for me and it has helped my confidence and self esteem in so many ways. Alex is honest and always strives to give the best result. And I must say I am so so
Happy and filled with joy of the results and to
Do this through COVID and kept me safe is brilliant. You are taken care of and your expectations are met. Thank you Alex for changing my life and the way I look and feel about myself. Also a big thank you to Lou, the nurse that took care of my after surgery (I can’t recall her name) and the Anaesthesiologist. Thank you team!

My Rhinoplasty Surgery

My experience with Mr Karidis was amazing. From start to finish he was honest, realistic and reassuring. My surgery was during lockdown but he was always happy to speak to me and even saw me face to face a second time when I had a concern prior to my operation. The whole process went smoothly and the care I received from the nursing staff was fantastic. Of course I had swelling and bruising but by the time I had my 3 week post op review all bruising had gone and the swelling had reduced considerably. I cannot praise Mr Karidis and his team enough for the difference they have made to my confidence. A big thank you to all but I would like to give a special thank you to Mr Karidis, Romi and Stephen Banks for their professional but caring approach to myself and my family.

Male chest

I'm writing this about 2 years late, though was browsing and thought I'd look up this page.
I was a training surgeon in London myself - I went to Alex because I knew his reputation.

I mulled it over for a year. I had a single lump (gynaecomastia), that wasn't particularly visible, but was painful and affecting my life (hugging people, laying flat).

I had the NHS option. I didn't want a junior surgeon or non-aesthetic surgeon doing something like this - I was worried about scars, uneven skin, body confidence, etc.

There's a difference between someone doing a job for its purpose versus someone doing it well.

You cannot tell I had surgery, at all. He actually did both sides of my chest, and removed some of the fat to make my chest 'even'.
To this day it is the best decision I've made. You cant tell I've had surgery, fullstop. I can take my top off and have my photo taken, I can wear fitted tshirts and my body confidence is 10/10.

The day in the hospital was like staying in a nice hotel, the recovery period was about 4-6 weeks, more like having done a gym session muscle ache and stiffness and compression vests. After those few weeks, your chest feels a bit numb, i guess the nerves have to regrow its a strange but actually pleasant feeling.

Within 3 months post op, you couldn't tell I'd had surgery, I was fully functional and my life was so much better, like a weight lifted.

Go to this man, he's excellent, anyone who's ever asked me re: plastic surgeons - i say this man. If you see this - thank you Mr Karidis, the neurosurgery trainee from a few years ago.

Gynecomastia Surgery/Male Chest Reduction

It has been 6 weeks since i had my Gynecomastia removed from Mr Karidis and his team and i could not be happier with the results.

From start to finish the care and treatment i received was amazing. The first week or so after the operation i had some slight discomfort/soreness however this quickly passed. I am now 6 weeks post operation and i am extremely happy with how my chest looks and how quickly it has healed.

For anyone who is thinking about getting this surgery done i would highly recommend it and would definitely recommend Mr Karidis and his team.

Lower face, neck & liposuction.

Deciding to have surgery in these strange times isn't an easy decision but I cannot fault the Karidis team for the organisation during these times, zoom consultation, face to face consultation & pre - op. consultation. The
Covid19 situation threw up quite a few questions, such as suitable timing for covid vaccination and 5 stars to Jade who answered all my questions pre - op, either by email or phone (always chatty & friendly ). Operation day, the ward staff were friendly, made aware that I'm hard of hearing & unable to wear my hearing aids, the staff ensured that I understood what was being said, despite the mask wearing.
Recovery for me was painful and uncomfortable, I knew to expect swelling, tightness & bruising but underestimated the effect all of these would have on my ears, I required pain relief on a regular basis for the first couple of weeks. The Hilotherm mask for cooling the face was soothing, easy to use.
Romy and Lou both on hand for post - op. face to face check ups, reassuring that healing was going well & when a problem did arise it was dealt with straight away, also answering questions I had via email /phone.
Due to the discomfort around the neck, driving wasn't possible for me until around 3 week mark and I started wearing hearing aids again at 4 weeks, after a check up and my ears felt comfortable.
Now 4 weeks on, I have some swelling & tightness still, but I'm happy with the results, I have a chin!
Thank you Mr Karidis .

I underwent Rhinoplasty with Dr

I underwent Rhinoplasty with Dr. Karidis and I could not recommend his practice more.
My experience was fantastic; the procedure itself was a lot more comfortable than expected. I received brilliant after care and could call on Dr. Karidis and his nurses at any time with any concerns or questions.
I am thrilled with my result! Dr. Karidis did exactly what I wanted and would definitely suggest his clinic to anyone that sought cosmetic surgery!

Abdominoplasty breast uplift with Augmentation.

After several years of research and waiting to finish my family, I am only 2 weeks post op but can say with confidence that the results speak for themselves.
From initial consultation through to the operation table and aftercare Mr Karidis is a perfectionist and this shows with both his skills as a surgeon, and the staff he surrounds himself with.
Aftercare is fantastic, the hospital staff are fantastic as well.

Male chest reduction

Couldn't be happier with Karidis Clinic. I had a male chest reduction in January and the results have been fantastic.

The first couple of days felt a bit uncomfortable, but overall the whole recovery process was much less painful than what I expected. Not much bruising, no major swelling, no need for painkillers or anything like that.

Essentially within 4 weeks it all felt perfectly normal!

Male chest reduction

I had a chest reduction in February 2021 and would recommend Dr Karidis to others without hesitation. Overall, it was a great experience and I'm satisfied with the results. From initial intake through to surgery, Dr Karidis and the team were professional, helpful and efficient. As one of the hospital nurses told me the morning of my surgery: "You're in good hands with Dr Karidis. He's been here longer than anyone, he's practically an institution at St John and St Elizabeth." His tenure and experience show at every turn.

My only feedback for the patient care team (albeit a very minor one) would be to provide a clearer list at the beginning of the process of the appointments that would be required in the weeks leading up to surgery. There are several important/helpful sessions but I felt like each one was scheduled ad-hoc rather than in a thoughtful, structured way at once.

Mastopexy and breast augmentation

I recently had a mastopexy and breast augmentation.The results I have had a better than I ever expected. Mr Karidis is a friendly and welcoming surgeon who I trusted from the first appointment.
I'm thrilled with the results, they were better than I ever thought and I can't thank him enough. The whole process was great - all the nursing staff were amazing and the post surgery care was great, very reassuring. I was very well looked after and my scar are minimal which shows was a great surgeon Mr Karidis is. There was some pain and discomfort as is expected after a major operation but it was managed well and was for a limited time - and most importantly the results were completely worth it.
Thank you to Mr Karidis and his whole team who made it such a pleasurable experience. I would certainly recommend the clinic to friends (in fact already have).

I am pleased to say how delighted I am with my recent surgery. My scars are minimal and the results are more than I expected.
Dr. Karidis has a discerning eye and is an excellent surgeon.
I would recommend him to anyone. I have friends in the USA that now want to come to London for their ‘work’ and touch ups!
