Inside Harley Street

Episode 2: Make Me Beautiful

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC Two ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two HD

This episode explores the rise of cosmetic medicine in the area. Every kind of cosmetic procedure is available on Harley St, from botox to cosmetic surgery to hair transplants, all at a price. The film examines the doctors' motivations and values - cosmetic surgeon Angelica Kavouni operates on women to make them look younger and considers herself a feminist. Surgeon Greg Williams left the NHS after 25 years helping burns victims in order to work exclusively in the private sector doing hair transplants. The film follows local estate agent Jeremy Cohen, who specialises in renting out medical properties and also features a specialist shoe shop that makes handmade orthopaedic shoes for people with serious mobility problems.
