Daily Mirror – A day with Mr Azhar Aslam at Linia
Journalist Jenny Francis recently spent a day with Mr Aslam at our Harley Street clinic where she sat in and observed some local anaesthetic procedures and chatted with the patients…
“Cosmetic surgery has been around for years – but like the pace of modern life, treatment times are getting faster.
London’s Harley Street remains at the forefront of developments and I’m visiting surgery provider Linia to see patients undergo treatment in the time it takes the rest of us to have a leisurely lunch break.
It takes place under local anaesthetic, meaning the patient is awake throughout the operation and, once it’s over, can walk out of the surgery just hours later.
When I arrive at 9am I’m invited into a beautiful building.
I was surprised – maybe I was expecting a hospital with white walls and a smell of disinfectant.
But I am greeted with a living room-inspired waiting room, with comfy sofas and a cup of tea.
I meet Linia’s team and Azhar Aslam, the surgeon who will let me sit in on his operations.
I don’t have long before the first patient of the day arrives, Caroline Moore, who is 22.
Walking in with her boyfriend, Luke, 34, she has a large smile on her face, gives a big friendly hello to the team, but whispers, “I’m a little nervous” to me as she’s shown up the grand staircase to the consultation room.
Read Jenny’s full article here… Daily Mirror article
The Mail on Sunday Review supplement recently featured an article about a woman who underwent breast augmentation surgery whilst awake. It was a fascinating and interesting article which highlighted the many benefits of choosing local anaesthesia. The woman was awake and comfortably sedated the whole way through and spoke very positively about her experience. Surprisingly, the surgeon performing the procedure in the article described this as a ‘new technique’ but as many of our patients know, at Linia we have been offering local anaesthesia for many of our procedures - with or without sedation for the last 8 years.
Linia surgeon Mr Aslam was one of the first to pioneer this technique, which was featured heavily in the Daily Mail and other national media at the time – it was in fact known as ‘the lunchtime boob job’. It continues to be an increasingly popular choice with our patients at Linia Cosmetic Surgery and it’s great that the benefits are again being highlighted in the media. Many of our procedures are available with this safer option, including liposuction/liposculpture, breast augmentation, nipple surgery, adbdominoplasty and facelifts.
At Linia we refer to this surgical technique as ‘Quick Recovery Surgery’ as the patient can return home soon after surgery and begin their recovery in their own comfortable environment and they don’t have the risks of the possible side effects as with a general, which can also prolong recovery.
To help reassure patients who may feel nervous at the thought of being awake during surgery, we have a unique ‘Patient Buddy’ scheme that allows new patients who are considering surgery under local to speak to patients who have already had similar surgery with us. This is often the best form of ‘hand-holding’ and can help settle any nervous feeling or doubts the patient may have about not being put to sleep.

Linia in the media! Daily Mirror – Your Life
Linia patient Amanda was so delighted with her ‘tummy-tuck’ surgery with us, she recently shared her experience with readers in the Your Life section of the Daily Mirror.
Here’s what Amanda said -
DAILY MIRROR – 31/03/11
Fat and Frumpy… then we had children
I had a mummy tummy tuck
Amanda McMurtrie, 30, works for a bank and lives in Shropshire with her partner Andrew, 32, and her three children, Lewis, Leah and Alfie.
Like many women my weight has fluctuated over the years. At 5ft 2in I’ve been everything from a size eight to an 18-20 and that meant even when I lost weight, I had skin on my stomach that wouldn’t tone up.
When my weight finally stabilised at 8st 7lb and a size 10-12, I couldn’t shift my flabby tummy and I felt really self-conscious about it.
I always covered up in baggy clothes and refused to pose for photographs unless I could fold my arms across my middle.
After having three children my muscles didn’t knit together properly which meant my stomach became even more saggy and it was covered in stretch marks.
I couldn’t even bring myself to let Andrew see me naked. I was desperate for a tummy tuck so after Alfie was born I started saving hard. Friends and family thought I was crazy, until I showed them my bare stomach and then they agreed.
In the end I had the tummy tuck, which cost me £4,800. Immediately I was delighted to see how flat my stomach looked.
Now I’m happy to wear figure hugging dresses, knowing that my horrible bulge is no longer there. I’m happier with my figure now than ever. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.

Body Under General Anesthesia Tracks Closer to Coma than Sleep
Article published in Scientific American
by Katherine Harmon on December 29, 2010
Studying brain waves and physiologic patterns in patients under general anesthesia might help researchers build new neurological models of disorders, such as comas and insomnia
DEEP SLEEP?:
Patients undergoing significant operations, such as major cardiac or transplant surgery, typically require general anesthesia. But putting patients to “sleep” might not be the best way to describe the process, argued the authors of a new review paper, published in the December 30 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
What anesthesiologists are really doing is closer to putting patients—close to 60,000 each day in the U.S.—into a drug-induced coma. “It’s a reversible coma, but it’s nevertheless a coma,” says Emery Brown, a professor of anesthesiology at Harvard Medical School and coauthor of the paper.
General anesthesia before major surgery dips brain activity (as measured by electroencephalogram, or EEG) down to levels akin to brain-stem death. For the most part, Brown has found that anesthesiologists talk about the process in colloquial terms, telling patients they will be “asleep,” rather than “unconscious”—likely in an effort to not make a medical ordeal any scarier than it already needs to be.
