Noula Friend
Noula
Patient Experience Director
Noula lives the good life, with chickens and three pygmy goats at home. With lots of research showing that stroking pets is good for blood pressure and anxiety, Noula says her menagerie may be better than therapy.
As well as the goats that she calls her babies, Noula is also mum to two children, aged 10 and 13. They’re all foodies, which befits her Greek heritage, and love to enjoy and explore the beauty of the English countryside.
I love meeting patients, finding that emotional reason they’re in the clinic and connecting with them. Our patients are the absolute focus of the business. We have a very soft approach to booking; we give patients all the information they need and never push anyone to commit. Also our aftercare is exemplary. We treat people the way we want to be treated.

Originally from South Africa, as a young girl growing up in Johannesburg Noula always wanted to take care of people and make them feel better about themselves. She studied beauty therapy, gaining an internationally recognised diploma from Switzerland.
Starting as a therapist on cruise ships, Noula rapidly progressed to Spa Manager. She had an extensive career in luxury spa management. She ran spas on Silverseas cruise ships, at Champneys and in a five-star Park Lane Hotel. One of her proudest moments was launching the new spa on the Queen Mary 2, the World’s biggest liner.

I had a breast augmentation at Bella Vou 4 weeks ago and I am ecstatic with my results, the scars are so neat and tidy, I am healing so well. The surgeons, nursing staff and everyone who assisted me on my journey were amazing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get surgery. Best decision I have ever made. Thank you!

I have had 3 procedures now with Amir and I can honestly say, after having several cosmetic surgery with top plastic surgeons up and down the UK and in Poland, Amir is the best surgeon, my reasons why, professionalism, precise, skills are attention to detail and finesse is phenomenal.
★★★★★
Absolutely wonderful experience with Amir. I’m so happy I chose to go ahead with my procedure with BellaVou. My scars are barely visible and the customer service is incredible. I’ve had nothing but complements, and I feel much more confident. 10/10! Amir made me feel completely at ease, I didn’t feel nervous at all.

Whilst recovering I received a fantastic hamper of fresh fruit, biscuits and tea from Bella Vou! I am 2 weeks into my healing process and things are healing nicely. After 2 days rest, I was up and about doing my normal day to day things. I would highly recommend Bella Vou they are fantastic!

Dr Amir & Nurse Jill made me feel at ease immediately. I couldn’t believe that throughout I was talking and laughing with Amir and Jill about all kinds of subjects. I would highly recommend Dr Amir & his team, nothing was too much trouble. The ambience in the clinic is so calming and the procedure was swift whilst each part of the process explained thoroughly.

The lip filler has been a perfect temporary solution for me and I absolutely love the look of having fuller lips. Bella Vou were excellent and really eased some of my concerns and for the first time, I really love my lips.

I am so happy with the result, which Amir said will keep improving over the next few months, I’m more than happy with how it looks now, but bring it on!

I honestly couldn’t be happier. I never thought I would love myself again and I already am in love with my new body. If you have any hesitation- go and see Amir at Bella Vou and I’m sure he can make your dreams come true.

Three weeks on from my procedures, from the front, you cannot even tell that I have had anything done. There is no scarring visible at all. Behind my ears are slightly red but they are healing beautifully. When I look at the work of other surgeons who are lauded on here, there really is no comparison with the excellence of Amir’s work.
★★★★★
Thank You very much to the Bella Vou Team for everything I am so grateful. I am really excited about the future and am most grateful to Bella Vou for a great job. I have already experimented with the shops and found a big smile on my face when trying outfits on for my daughter’s wedding!

From the first consultation, Amir made me feel completely at ease, answered any questions I had for him and, him and his team acted very professionally. I had gynecomastia surgery and was very concerned about it, especially the recovery time. I was reassured that I would recover very quickly and, true to his word, I was back at work within 5 days with no pain and great results!!

Amir is an amazing surgeon, after having botched surgery 7 years ago and never feeling happy with my result, I went to Amir who was very professional explained that he will correct but not to expect a miracle and that is what he did, my body no longer looks saggy and old, he has made me love my body again, I’m so pleased with the result and have already recommended Amir to two of my friends.

I’ve had a re-occurring shoulder injury for the past 4-5 years, after my very first session with Nikki I noticed a big difference in pain reduction & mobility. After five more sessions, I don’t have any pain & I am able to train as hard as I like without any limitations. I would highly recommend Nikki to anyone.

Bella Vou was not my first choice but after a friend recommended going, I did. To say it was a pleasant experience would not be exaggerating. The whole clinic staff we friendly and helpful. They made me feel they were generally interested in me and what I had come to have done. I would definitely go back.
