BREAST AUGMENTATION: WHAT TYPES OF BREAST IMPLANTS ARE AVAILABLE?

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 30 August 2024

Saline breast implants

Saline breast implants are filled with sterile salt water. Should the implant shell leak, a saline implant will collapse and the saline will be absorbed and naturally expelled by the body.

Saline breast implants provide a uniform shape, firmness and feel.

 

Structured saline breast implants

Structured implants are filled with sterile salt water, and contain an inner structure which aims to make the implant feel more natural.

 

Silicone breast implants

Silicone breast implants are filled with silicone gel. The gel feels a bit more like natural breast tissue. If the implant leaks, the gel may remain within the implant shell, or may escape into the breast implant pocket.

 

Gummy bear breast implants

Form-stable implants are sometimes referred to as gummy bear breast implants because they maintain their shape even when the implant shell is broken.

The consistency of the silicone gel inside the implant is thicker than traditional silicone gel implants. These implants are also firmer than traditional implants. Shaped gummy bear breast implants have more projection at the bottom and are tapered towards the top. If a shaped implant rotates, it may lead to an unusual appearance of the breast that requires a separate procedure to correct.

Placement of gummy bear implants requires a slightly longer incision in the skin.

 

Round breast implants

Round breast implants have a tendency to make breasts appear fuller than form-stable implants. Higher profile options can achieve even more projection.

Because round implants are the same shape all over, there is less concern about them rotating out of place.

 

Smooth breast implants

Smooth breast implants are the softest feeling. They can move with the breast implant pocket, which may give more natural movement. Smooth implants may have some palpable or visible rippling under the skin.

 

Textured breast implants

Textured breast implants develop scar tissue to stick to the implant, making them less likely to move around inside of the breast and become repositioned. Texturing offers some advantage in diminishing the risk of a tight scar capsule. Implant manufacturers occasionally introduce new styles and types of breast implants, so there may be additional options available.

BREAST AUGMENTATION: WHAT TECHNIQUES ARE INVOLVED?

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 25 August 2024

Having fuller more voluptuous breasts is a very important part of feeling feminine and more confident for women. The breasts give the female body more proportion, curves and shape, which makes many women feel more sexy. There are a variety of factors that make women unhappy with their breasts. Such factors include the effects of aging, gravity which leads to sagging, post pregnancy changes and natural asymmetry. A breast augmentation helps women improve the overall appearance of the breasts and cleavage. This results in an improved self esteem, confidence and feeling sexier about your body.

Reasons why women seek breast augmentation include:

– Improved body proportion

– Correct loss of fullness or sagging due to aging, gravy, or pregnancy

– Improve cleavage appearance

– Increase breast shape and size

– Correct asymmetry of the breasts (one breast is larger than another)

Breast augmentation involves the placement of an implant under the patient’s breast tissue to enhance the size and shape of the breast. The breast implants are usually inserted using an incision placed under the breast at the crease, but can also be put in via an incision in the armpit or around the nipple.

Breast augmentation surgery takes about one and a half hours, and is usually done under general anaesthetic. The operation itself involves accessing and creating the pocket into which the implant will be placed, using one of the insertion routes mentioned above: breast-crease, armpit or nipple.

BREAST AUGMENTATION: BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 20 August 2024

Breast reduction surgery is meant for women who have large breasts and want to resolve issues such as:

– Chronic back, neck and shoulder pain that requires pain medications

– Chronic rash or skin irritation under the breasts

– Nerve pain

– Restricted activity

– Poor self-image related to large breasts

– Difficulty fitting into bras and clothing

Breast reduction surgery generally isn’t recommended if you:

– Smoke

– Have certain conditions such as diabetes or heart problems

– Are very obese

– Want to avoid scars on your breasts

You can have breast reduction surgery at any age – sometimes even as a teenager. But if your breasts aren’t yet fully developed, you might need a second surgery later in life. You might postpone breast reduction surgery if you have certain future plans, such as:

Childbirth. If you haven’t started a family or your family isn’t yet complete, you might wait until pregnancy isn’t an issue. Breast-feeding might be challenging after breast reduction surgery – although certain surgical techniques can help preserve your ability to breast-feed.

Weight loss. If you are interested in losing weight by changing your diet and starting an exercise program, you might wait to decide if reduction mammoplasty is for you. Losing weight can often result in changes to your breast size.

BREAST AUGMENTATION: ISSUES WITH BREAST IMPLANTS

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 15 August 2024

As with any surgery, cosmetic breast surgery comes with a level risk, and some patients may not be happy with the results. This is especially true when decisions are focused on the lowest cost rather than the knowledge of the surgeon.

Additionally, as patients age, their breast tissue changes and all breast implants deteriorate with time. Because of these factors, more individuals are requiring breast surgeries for correction, renewal, or revision. This kind of surgery necessitates a comprehensive evaluation of the breast tissue, the prior procedure, the implants and scars, as well as the anticipated results of additional surgery.

Only those with integrated backgrounds in cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery can possess such proficiency.

Dr. Vigo is amongst the most experienced, trusted and respected breast plastic surgeons in the region. He has contributed to the development of contemporary breast surgery techniques for more than ten years, and as an international authority, he has published and presented internationally on the subject. He is seeing more patients who want corrective surgery, thus he has become an authority in this field.

A breast implant procedure is frequently thought of as being fairly straightforward and a “quick fix” for smaller or sagging breasts. To satisfy the needs and preferences of the patient, each procedure should be specifically planned after a rigorous assessment. Decisions need to be made on the implant’s size, form, and texturing as well as its placement above or below the muscle of the chest wall and the type of incision that will be used. Patients frequently seek a second opinion because this can be misinterpreted frequently.

BREAST AUGMENTATION: ALWAYS POPULAR

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 11 August 2024

Breast augmentation continues to be the most common cosmetic surgery operation, according to data from the American Society of cosmetic Surgeons (ASP). In 2022, more than 400,000 women choose this procedure. Breast augmentation with saline or silicone implants may be the best option if a woman’s main reason for having breast surgery is to increase the size of her breasts.

Numerous parameters need to be taken into account, including the size, kind, and form of the selected implants, their placement in the chest region (in front of, partially in front of, or behind the pectoral muscle), and the location of the incision. By examining each woman’s body type, way of life, and overarching objectives, Dr. Vigo can assist her in making these choices.

For certain people, traditional breast implants may not be the ideal option. For women who want to subtly enlarge their breasts by half a cup to one full cup, fat transfer breast augmentation—also known as fat grafting, lipo-filling, or live fat transfer—is usually a wonderful option.

To remove tiny quantities of fat from hard-to-reach places on the body, fat transfers employ tumescent liposuction, a common procedure for fat reduction. The thighs, abdomen, or flanks may be the source of this. After being cleansed, the fat is cautiously injected back into the breasts in layers to provide the patient’s desired form.

Breast augmentation expands the size of the breasts and may also change their shape, cleavage, and curves. Small incisions are made beneath the armpit, in the breast crease, or in the areola to do augmentation, which involves putting fat or implants above or behind the muscle. Implants made of saline or medical-grade silicone are available in a variety of sizes and forms, allowing for almost any outcome.

BREAST AUGMENTATION: BREAST LIFT

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 9 August 2024

Breast augmentations and fat transfers are effective in enlarging the breasts, however they are unable to address drooping or sagging problems. Breasts that were formerly firm may get stretched out due to ageing, gravity, weight changes, and nursing, causing them to sag down instead of sitting high on the chest.

Women who have observed severe laxity in the skin of their breasts or nipples that are pointed downward and situated at or below the breast fold may desire a breast lift. Making an incision on the breast, moving fat and other tissues, removing extra skin, and, if required, realigning the nipple are all steps in the procedure. Although the benefits of this cosmetic surgery technique are almost immediately apparent, it does not stop breasts from becoming droopy in the future if there are weight fluctuations or any changes to the skin’s elasticity.

As part of a lift treatment, many women will decide to enlarge their breasts using implants or their own fat. You might consider a breast lift if:

– your breasts sag – they’ve lost shape and volume

– your nipples fall below your breast creases

– your nipples and areolae point downward

– your areolae have stretched out of proportion to your breasts

– one of your breasts falls lower than the other

Not everyone should have a breast lift. You could put off getting a breast lift if you intend to get pregnant in the future. During pregnancy, your breasts may expand, negating the benefits of the breast lift. Although a breast lift may be performed on breasts of any size, the benefits will probably stay longer in patients with smaller breasts. Because larger breasts are heavier, they are more inclined to sag once more.

BREAST AUGMENTATION: BREAST REDUCTION

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 6 August 2024

Many women experience chronic back, shoulder, or neck pain brought on by bigger, pendulous breasts. Some women may want to reduce the size of their breasts to ease physical pain or to make them appear more proportionate to the rest of the body. A breast reduction, also known as a reduction mammoplasty, involves making incisions, using liposuction, and removing more tissue to remove superfluous fat, tissue, and skin from the breasts.

Breast reductions can alter the breasts’ aesthetics, making them look smaller, firmer, more symmetrical, and more young. Additionally, the size or placement of the areolas or nipples can be altered to better fit the newly augmented breasts.

Liposuction, vertical (also known as a “lollipop”) breast reduction, and inverted T (also known as a “anchor”) breast reduction are the three most popular methods of breast reduction surgery.

There is no singular best method of breast reduction. Each patient will require a different method depending on their individual needs and goals. The best technique for each patient depends on their initial breast anatomy, the amount of tissue that needs to be removed, and their desired end result in terms of aesthetic appearance. An in-person consultation with Dr. Vigo will guide you to the best decision. During a consultation the surgeon may discuss the following:

– what is your current breast anatomy? (size, shape, type of tissue)

– which type of tissue is to be removed? (fatty, glandular)

– how much of a reduction in size do you need?

– do you want to reduce the size or shape of the areola or nipple?

– do you wish to correct asymmetry in the breasts?

– are you seeking a reshaping or lifting of the breasts?

BREAST AUGMENTATION: BREAST IMPLANT REPLACEMENT

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 1 August 2024

Your present breast implants may need to be replaced, and you may have made the decision to change the size of your implants. You may decide to replace her implants for a variety of reasons, and we’re here to assist you in making the right decision.

Many women feel the need to replace their breast implants after many years of use. In a breast re-augmentation procedure, the current implants are taken out and replaced with new ones of the same or a different size.

Medical conditions such capsular contracture, ruptured implants, worries about the integrity of your implants, and implants that have fallen beyond the natural breast crease are a few examples of causes for replacement. There are also aesthetic factors, such as wanting to change the implant’s size. Implants that were previously the perfect fit may no longer match your body shape as you age and after giving birth.

Patients frequently decide to remove or replace their breast implants for the following reasons:

– patients are not happy with the size, position or shape or their implants

– lifestyle changes have affected the breast implant appearance

– patients implants have dropped too low on the chest (bottoming out)

– patients are experiencing capsular contracture

– patients implants moved or rotated creating an uneven appearance

– patients implants have settled too far apart

– patients just don’t want an implant anymore

Blepharoplasty – A Definitive Guide to Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty Dubai | 29 July 2024

What causes eyelid problems?

As we get older, we start to lose elasticity in our skin as a natural part of the aging process. Because the face and the facial skin are often more exposed to environmental factors (such as sun, wind, pollution, etc.) than other parts of the body, it is often the first part of the body to show visible signs of aging and a loss of this elasticity.

The skin around the eye is very thin and delicate, and it is one of the places where aging skin will be most visible on the human body. As the skin around the eye loses elasticity, it will begin to stretch, and gravity will cause the stretched skin to pool above and below the eyes. On the top eyelid, this creates the appearance of ‘hooded’ or droopy eyelids. If the top eyelid sags too much, it can start to impede a person’s field of vision. On the bottom eyelid, the effect is slightly different. There are small fat deposits located under each of our eyes that helps to cushion the eye socket. When the lower eyelid skin begins to lose elasticity, this area will become more exposed and a bulge can appear under the eye. This is commonly referred to as ‘undereye bags’.

What can I expect from the surgery?

Eyelid surgery is a relatively short, uncomplicated procedure that is normally performed as a outpatient surgery.

In a typical eyelid surgery procedure, local anaesthetic will be applied to the eyelid and the surgeon will make several small, discreet incisions along the eyelids. Special care will be taken by your surgeon to ensure there will be minimal bleeding or scarring. The incisions will normally be hidden in the natural eyelid folds.

In an upper eyelid procedure (upper blepharoplasty), incisions will be made in the upper eyelid crease. In a lower eyelid surgery, the incision will be made just underneath the lash line of the lower eyelid. In some instances where no skin needs to be removed, the surgeon may be able to perform a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. In this procedure, an incision is made from the inner side of the lower eyelid directly, and as a result there is no visible scarring.

Once the incisions are made, any excess of tissue (skin and/or fat) will be removed and the incision will be sealed with small sutures. The whole procedure will typically take between one to three hours.

The specifics of your eyelid surgery procedure will vary depending on the nature and severity of the eyelid issue that is being addressed and whether the surgery will be on your upper, lower, or both eyelids. Your surgeon will outline and explain all of the details of your particular procedure before the operation to make sure that you are prepared.

What can I expect after surgery?

Following surgery, you should arrange for someone to rive you home. As with any procedure that affects your vision, it is important that you allow sufficient time for recovery before you drive or undertake any activity that requires uncompromised vision.

As part of your recovery, you will need to ensure that you rest, elevate your head, and apply ice to the eye area to keep swelling and bruising to a minimum. Individual patients will experience pain differently, but the procedure should only cause mild pain. The recovery time from an upper eyelift can vary for individual patients, but the skin of the upper eyelid tends to heal quickly. Most patients find that they are able to return to normal activities within three to four days. Some patients may develop dry eyes for one to two weeks. If the dry eye symptoms persist for a longer period of time, you should discuss this with your surgeon.

Results from the surgery

It is important to remember that the full results from your eyelid surgery will not be immediate, and the final results may take several months to appear.

Long-term results

Eyelid surgery is a permanent procedure, but for some patients, the surgery may need to be repeated after a period of years. The eye area will naturally continue to age after the surgery, so you may find that the effects of your upper eyelid surgery gradual reduce with time. Upper eyelid surgery can be expected to last approximately 5-10 years. Lower eyelid surgery usually maintains for a longer period and rarely needs to be repeated.
