Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a treatment that is used to accelerate healing in various areas of the body. It may help restore hair growth.

Although PRP is a relatively new approach, there is some scientific evidence to suggest that it can promote hair growth. Cosmetic PRP Therapy Treatment harnesses the healing ability of your blood to regenerate healthy new tissue in the treatment area for natural improvement of thinning hair.

PRP therapy is a non-surgical hair restoration therapy in which the client’s platelets are extracted from their blood sample and injected into the scalp. It is a relatively new form of hair loss treatment that uses various proteins and growth factors to stimulate the body to heal and hair growth.

If you find that your hair lacks shine and density, and signs of aging are taking their toll, you may find this simple, convenient treatment can significantly reduce your hair loss.

If you have androgenetic alopecia (often called male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness) or alopecia areata, or have recently had a hair transplant, PRP therapy can help.

WHY CHOOSE PRP?

Hair loss is often caused by insufficient cell turnover in the scalp – making PRP the perfect treatment as it stimulates the production of new healthy cells. It’s easy and completely natural. PRP provides safe and reliable results with a very short recovery period. Only a small amount of blood will be drawn, just like a routine blood test, and local anesthesia will be used, so there will be no discomfort. PRP hair treatments provide effective results with a high success rate.

WHAT CAN PRP ACHIEVE?

– Fuller and healthier natural-looking hair

– Significantly increase of hair regrowth

– Production of new healthy cells

– Decreased hair dystrophy and burning or itching sensation

– Can serve as a safe and effective treatment option in Alopecia Areata

PRP HAIR LOSS THERAPY 

PRP hair loss therapy is an effective treatment option for increasing hair density in individuals with certain types of hair loss disorders*

PRP hair loss therapy alone is effective in improving hair density and quality when injected into the scalp of men and women with early and mild androgenic alopecia and with telogen effluvium (after correcting the triggers of telogen effluvium). PRP hair loss therapy is effective in increasing hair density and hair quality in individuals with more advanced androgenic alopecia and androgenic alopecia lasting longer than 5 years. PRP hair loss therapy alone does not lead to hair regeneration in individuals with advanced hair loss with scarring and those with complete loss of hair follicles.

*Individual results vary with genetic, hormonal, environmental and other influences

WHAT IS THE PRP PROCEDURE?

The following steps are examples of common ways to inject PRP for hair loss:

– the doctor draws blood from a vein in your arm.

– you put the blood sample in a centrifuge.

– centrifuge spins blood and separates its components.

– the doctor removes the platelets with a syringe.

– doctors inject platelets into specific areas of the scalp.

The entire process may take about an hour and may require multiple sessions. After PRP treatment, a person can usually resume normal activities without any restrictions.

HOW MANY PRP TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

For the best result, Dr. Vigo recommends up to three treatments, 4-6 weeks apart, with top-ups at 6-24 months.

AFTER YOUR PRP PROCEDURE

​There is no downtime for PRP so you can immediately return to your normal daily routine. It is recommended that strenuous activity and alcohol consumption is be avoided for 24 hours post procedure. The results of PRP can usually be seen between two to three months post treatment. 

CLINICAL RESEARCH ON PRP TREATMENT EFFICACY FOR 

THINNING HAIR

Platelet Rich Plasma is obtained by processing your blood in a centrifuge to get a concentrated mixture of your platelets. Platelets are small cells in your blood that are responsible for your body’s healing response to injury. Upon any injury, your platelets release a minimum of eight growth factors which initiate a cascade of events leading to regeneration of healthy tissue to repair the injured area. High-quality PRP leads to the appropriate growth factor release which results in healthy tissue regeneration for thicker hair when injected in these sites.

PRP hair repair promotes the growth of existing hair follicles through non-invasive prp technology, leaving your hair looking fuller and healthier.

Hair loss can be very distressing, and we understand that. PRP hair restoration treatment is an effective hair loss treatment that gives you the regenerating power you need and naturally fuller, thicker hair by harnessing the healing properties of your own blood.

Lip Lifting is a minimally invasive surgery that improves the appearance of thin upper lips by reducing drooping skin between the top lip and the septum. During the procedure, Dr. Vigo creates a small incision in the lip area or under the nose and cuts off excess skin to lift and enhance the appearance of the lips and cupid’s bow. The teeth can usually be seen better when you smile.

Patients often undergo lip lifts to enhance the lip shape or to make the philtrum region look more rejuvenated and youthful.

LIP LIFTING

A lip lift is an in-office surgical procedure that shortens the space between the nose and the top of the lip, known as the “philtrum.” The procedure increases the amount of pink tissue that’s visible which makes the lips look fuller and more pronounced. It also increases how much of your upper central teeth show when your lips are resting. It’s a good option for people who want to add height instead of volume to their lips.

Types of lip lifts

There are several types of lip lifts. It’s important to know the types and techniques so you can have an informed discussion with Dr. Vigo about which is right for you.

Direct lip lift

A direct lip lift, sometimes called a gullwing lip lift, creates a more defined lip border. A thin strip of skin is removed just above the upper lip, and the skin is pulled upwards, creating the illusion of a more pronounced vermillion (the pink part of the lips). This procedure typically leaves behind a scar on the upper lip area.

Subnasal bullhorn

The subnasal bullhorn is one of the more common lip lift procedures. Dr. Vigo will make an incision that’s typically hidden along the base of the nose where it’s less visible. The incision is often made in the shape of a bullhorn and the center, right, and left of the lip are all pulled up toward the nose.

Central lip lift

A central lip lift is similar to a subnasal bullhorn lift. It shortens the space between the nose and the lips by an incision at the lower nose.

Corner lip lift

A corner lip lift is sometimes called a “grin lift” because it gives the face a more smiley appearance. It’s done by making two small incisions at both corners of the mouth and removing a small amount of skin. Some people will get this in tandem with another lip lift to give fuller lips. It’s an option for people who feel they have downturned lips.

A lip lift can be a good option for older people who want to reduce the space between the lips and the nose. With age, this space typically increases and can make lips look thinner. Younger people who haven’t achieved the look they want from fillers, or if they find that fillers make their lips look unnaturally plump or duck-like, may prefer a lip lift. Lip lifts are also a permanent solution, so they can be helpful for people who are tired of the upkeep of filler.

WHO IS GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LIP LIFTING?

You may consider yourself a good candidate when:

– you want natural looking yet improved lips that move normally

– you have elongated distance between your nose and the red portion of the upper lip with reduced or no tooth show

– thin red portion of the upper lip

– unhappy with the results that filler injections give you

– you do not want a scar

SUMMARY & NOTES

A lip lifting is a surgical procedure that shortens the space between the nose and the top of the lip, known as the “philtrum”. The procedure increases the amount of pink tissue (mucosa of the lips) that is visible which makes the lips look fuller and more pronounced. It also increases how much of your upper central teeth show when your lips are resting. It is a good option for people who want to add height instead of volume to their lips. The subnasal bullhorn is one of the more common lip lift procedures. Dr. Vigo will make an incision that’s typically hidden along the base of the nose where it’s less visible. The incision is often made in the shape of a bullhorn and the centre, right, and left of the lip are all pulled up toward the nose. A central lip lift is similar to a subnasal bullhorn lift. It shortens the space between the nose and the lips by an incision at the lower nose.

After the surgery, you need to plan to rest for at least 24 hours and avoid strenuous exercise and smoking in the weeks after. Avoid sleeping on your face or opening your mouth too wide.

Keep your lips moisturized and clean the incisions following the doctor’s recommendations.

As with all surgeries, lip lifts have some potential complications include:

– scarring

– poor wound healing 

– blood loss during or after surgery

– nerve damage

One of a woman’s most distinctive physical traits, the size of her breasts can affect her both physically and mentally. One can exude confidence in both personal and professional settings if they have attractive, proportionate breasts. How much larger you want to go is a very difficult decision to make when considering a breast repair or augmentation. Your new breasts’ size will determine how they seem and how well-balanced they are with the rest of your body. When selecting breast implants, keep the following things in mind:

PATIENT BODY TYPE

The sizes of implants that each body type may comfortably wear and still look good with vary. You don’t want your breasts to look excessively big or tiny for your physique. If the implants are too hefty for the body to support, discomfort and sagging may also develop, sometimes necessitating revision surgery. 

When selecting an acceptable breast implant size, it is important to carefully analyse your chest’s overall breadth, the distance between each breast, and the base width or circumference of your bust. Skin firmness and thickness may also be important, since a thicker implant may make the skin appear drooping.

BREAST PROFILE & SHAPE

The size, shape, and projection of the implant must match those of your body. A teardrop- or oval-shaped (also known as anatomical) profile might compliment a woman with a larger frame by maintaining lower-pole fullness and curvature, whilst a round profile would look well on a small-bodied woman as it provides upper-pole perkiness/fullness and firmness. While more mature patients or those who would like a breast lift (mastopexy) in addition to their augmentation may prefer a round shape for more upper-pole fullness, which lends a more youthful appearance, many women who receive breast reconstruction prefer a teardrop shape because it may better mimic the shape of their original breasts.

PATIENT AGE & SKIN QUALITY

Skin is suppler and tighter when you’re younger, and can more easily

be worked on to accommodate your desired implant size. Suppler skin

will translate into a firm pair of breasts that can carry its own weight

well and retain its shapely look. It also helps maintain a natural feel and

appearance. There must also be enough tissue coverage for the implants to ensure that your breasts are evenly shaped (symmetrical) and retain their natural feel. Placing a large implant into a woman with thin or lax breast tissue will result in the new breasts looking bloated or stretched.

PREGNANCY & BREASTFEEDING

During pregnancy, the female body might experience several noticeable changes. Your breasts may enlarge throughout your pregnancy and/or contract after delivery and while you are nursing. It can have a significant impact on nursing, thus having an implant operation during or before pregnancy has some risks and should not be taken lightly. I advise delaying any size decisions and breast augmentations until all pregnancies and nursing cycles have ended. This will assist you in avoiding the requirement for additional surgery to restore the appearance of your breasts after giving birth or breastfeeding.

The placement of your implants, coupled with your desired implant size

and the amount of breast tissue you personally have will determine how

much of an impact the procedure will have on your ability to breastfeed.

If you may wish to become pregnant and/or breastfeed, you should

discuss this with me so that we can both determine the required breast

implant size and surgical techniques early on.

OTHER TIPS FOR DETERMINING YOUR IMPLANT SIZE

There are multiple factors that go into determining the best implant

size for you. Breast measurements, desired size, characteristics of your

breast, tissue and chest wall are all critical in making the right selection.

Breast implants are measured in cubic centimetres. That’s why you’ll

typically see CC when labeling size, like 350CC. Breast implants come

in a whole range of sizes, from about 80CC up to 800CC. Obviously, the

higher the number, the bigger the breast implant size. The width of the

base also varies, fom 7.4cm to 17.2cm.

DON’T MEASURE YOUR BREAST SIZE BY YOUR BRA

Bra cup size is not an accurate way to measure breast size. It is imprecise,

because bra sizing standards vary from manufacturer to manufacturer

and even country to country. Despite being labeled the same cup size,

the actual volume may be different. That’s why it’s best if you bring in

the exact bra you want to wear after your surgery to your sizing session.

HOW I HELP DETERMINE A PROPORTIONATE IMPLANT SIZE

From a medical standpoint, it’s important that I also consider your

specific body measurements when deciding on what size is right for you.

An overly large implant can cause complications, both right after surgery

and a few years down the road. Such complications include separation

of incision lines and excessive sagging. However, I also understand that

an overly small implant won’t improve your body contour sufficiently.

Measurements, like your shoulder width, height and ribcage width is used to determine a range of implant sizes that would achieve proportionate

improvement as well as reduce your risk of complications.

FACTORS THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING BREAST

IMPLANT MEASUREMENTS

There are multiple factors that come into play when selecting the right

implant size. If you don’t carefully pre-plan, you could run into situations

in life that would adversely affect you and your new implants. You should

WITH MOTIVA  BREAST IMPLANT SELECTION FOR ANY SHAPE &

SIZE HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER

Uncertain of the distinction between a 400cc and a 300cc? Desire a natural outcome? Concerned about your post-surgery appearance? Want to resemble a certain celebrity? Motiva sizers might help you discover your new self. 

The most extensive selection of implant kinds to suit women with different body shapes is provided by Motiva Implants and its companion consultation tools. While samples or rice bags have been used as basic selection aids for implant type, size, and shape, Motiva offers more sophisticated, patented tools that enable patients to more properly perceive prospective breast enhancement results and, as a result, make the best implant decision.

An unattractive abdomen can result from Caesarean sections, surgical scars, stretch marks, and extra skin after pregnancy or weight reduction. Back pain, the feeling of abdominal weakness, and an abdominal bulge known as a hernia can all result from weak abdominal wall muscles or rectus abdominis (6-pack) muscular divarication. To improve the outcomes of surgery to address these issues, liposuction may be added, as well as a buttock lift for a circumferential alteration (body lift) that also benefits the thighs and buttocks.

There are a number of non-surgical procedures that can be utilised to reduce fat in a modest way. The most popular procedure is cryolipolysis, however it typically takes several sessions to see any apparent results and has little impact on extra skin. Abdominoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures (tummy tuck). There are various types, but they all work to reduce extra skin and tighten the abdominal muscles to enhance a person’s waist and abdomen shape. Hernias and abnormal bulges are removed together.

The procedure leaves a scar in the lower stomach that is typically disguised by undergarments. A variation of the abdominoplasty procedure known as the “Fleur de Lis” removes extra tissue above the navel and is an option in cases of extreme weight loss or in circumstances when a central scar already exists.

ANATOMY OF THE ABDOMEN

The skin, fat, and muscle that make up the abdominal wall. The rectus fascia, a thick sheath, protects the rectus abdominis muscles, which together make up the “six pack” of muscles on the abdomen. Pregnancy and weight gain typically cause this fascial layer to weaken and stretch out. As a result, a patient may develop abdominal wall laxity after losing weight or having children. The excess skin and fat are removed during surgery, and the fascial layer covering the rectus abdominis muscles is tightened.

SURGERY STEPS

A horizontal incision is made within the bikini line in the lower abdomen to execute the abdominoplasty operation. The incision can be done in the same spot and expanded to the sides in patients who have already had a C-section. The abdominal rectus abdominis muscles are toned, and extra skin and fat are removed and redraped. The umbilicus, or navel, must typically be repositioned during an abdominoplasty procedure through a second incision. The “mini” abdominoplasty treatment does not include moving the navel; instead, it tightens the lower abdominal muscles while also removing fat and skin from the area. Since the resulting scar is often low on the belly, it can be hidden by the majority of bathing suits and apparel.

ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES

To shape the flanks, liposuction is occasionally used with tummy tuck surgery. Some patients want to have simultaneous breast lift and volume augmentation procedures. A “mommy makeover” procedure is the name for the combination of a stomach tuck and breast augmentation or lift surgery. Additional operations require more anaesthetic, surgery, and operating room time.

SURGERY AND ANESTHESIA

The surgery lasts 1 1/2 –2 hours, and is performed under general anesthesia. Many patients worry about the risk of general anesthesia, but it is very safe and it assures that you will be completely comfortable during surgery. Prior to surgery you will be required to obtain medical photographs, routine bloodwork, and in some cases preoperative clearance. The evening prior to surgery, you should not eat or drink anything after midnight. This ensures that you will have an empty stomach prior to surgery, which is very important for your anesthesiologist to care for you safely. You will need to have a responsible adult available to escort you home after surgery.

RECOVERY

Following surgery, you will awaken in the recovery area. Once you are fully alert, you will be transported to the stepdown area where you will be given something to eat prior to discharge. You will have two drains and a surgical garment placed at the conclusion of the procedure. The nurses in the recovery area will demonstrate how to empty and record the output from your drains. A responsible adult will need to be available to escort you home.

Patients are seen in the office one week following surgery. At that time your drains will be removed and you will be placed into a surgical garment. Most sutures placed will dissolve on their own.

Walking is permitted the day after surgery, but strenuous activity and heavy lifting are limited until six weeks following surgery. Most patients do not complain of severe pain following this surgery, but note that the abdomen feels “tight”, as if they have performed many sit-ups. Pain medication is prescribed for any discomfort. Swelling will be present for the initial 2-3 months after surgery, and the final results are typically seen 3-6 months after surgery. The scar will continue to fade and soften for up to one year following surgery, although it will never completely disappear.

WHAT A TUMMY TUCK CANNOT DO

A tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss or exercise. If you have ongoing weight loss, or are planning to become pregnant, you should delay your surgery. A tummy tuck cannot correct stretch marks, but it will remove the skin beneath the umbilicus. Stretch marks above this level some- times appear lighter after surgery, but they will not disappear.

A surgical procedure known as “fat transfer to face,” sometimes known as “facial fat grafting,” involves removing fat from another part of the body, processing it, and then reintroducing it to the face. This procedure will add volume to aged facial areas while also reviving the skin above by injecting this naturally occurring fat into the face. 

Collagen, the protein that keeps our skin youthful and firm, is a protein that our bodies make less and less of as we get older. Our skin loses flexibility as our collagen levels drop, wrinkling and sagging as a result. Fat transfer to the face is a fantastic approach to cover flaws, enhance contouring, and assist add volume back to the face, especially in areas that have lost volume with ageing.

A facial fat graft might produce greater outcomes if you’re seeking for a permanent fix for your ageing facial features than a non-surgical procedure like dermal fillers. A fat transfer to the face is a more natural solution than dermal fillers because the donor material is the fat from your own body. 

A blood supply is established by between 50 and 70 percent of fat cells that survive the transfer process, indicating that the outcomes are long-lasting. Dermal fillers can only be injected so many times at once, and the effects usually wear off after six months.

A minimally invasive technique, or one that requires little recovery time, is fat transfer to the face. 

To further improve the outcome, a face fat graft might be combined with other treatments. A small facelift or blepharoplasty, a treatment that tackles common ageing symptoms that appear around the eyes, may be an option here.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR FACIAL FAT TRANSFER? 

If each of the following statements about a patient is true, Dr. Vigo deems them suitable for the procedure: 

– your mental and physical health are both good. 

– your body weight is at its perfect level. 

– you view the potential benefits of fat transfer with optimism and reasonable expectations. 

– you want to make your face’s contours better. 

– you want to make your facial skin’s surface look more youthful. 

– you want to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines. 

– you want dermal fillers because they can provide longer-lasting results.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN FACIAL FAT GRAFTING? 

The technique entails using liposuction to remove fat from regions where it is either superfluous or undesirable before reinjecting it into the face. Liposuction is used to first remove fat cells from the donor area, which is typically the stomach, thighs, or buttocks. 

Before being injected into the facial region, these cells are centrifuged, cleaned, and then processed. Dr. Vigo completes this procedure in between 30 and 45 minutes. It is a day-case treatment that is carried out under local anaesthesia and does not require an overnight stay. The effects are quick, natural, and long-lasting.

WHAT FACIAL REGIONS ARE BEST SUITED TO FAT TRANSFER TREATMENT? 

The common indications of facial ageing, such as fine lines, eye bags, frown lines, and sunken cheeks, can be successfully treated with fat transfer to the face. A haggard and worn-out face will look fresh, plump, and revitalised after the operation. The cheeks, lips, and eyes will regain volume thanks to a face fat graft. 

The face can be treated in a number of different locations with fat transfer. 

Sunken cheeks are a typical side effect of age brought on by the resorption of bone and fat deposits, and the surgery is a popular option for restoring them. A cheek fat transfer will assist in restoring the pronounced cheekbones associated with youth.

The hollowness left at the temples and forehead produced by ageing can potentially be filled via facial fat transfer. 

A fat transfer under the brows will elevate the brows and upper eyelids, giving the eyes a more wide-eyed, youthful appearance. 

Facial fat grafting is a fantastic approach to restore tissue loss and improve the appearance of a pointed chin in elderly adults. 

In addition to being able to be paired with other treatments, face fat transfer is a worthwhile option to explore if you already had liposuction to shape and contour other areas of the body, such the thighs or the stomach. This means that following liposuction, the extra fat that was taken might be utilised rather than discarded.

IS THE FACE’S FAT TRANSFER PAINFUL? 

It is not painful to transfer fat. During the process, you will be entirely sedated or under the influence of an anaesthetic, so you won’t feel a thing. 

You will then be given paracetamol to treat any subsequent minor discomfort you may feel. There is always the option to perform the treatment completely sedated or under general anaesthesia for people who are concerned about pain.

AFTER FAT TRANSFER TO THE FACE, IS THERE ANY RECOVERY TIME? 

A face fat graft is a minimally invasive operation, thus there is little recovery time needed. We advise taking a few days off from work so the swelling can go down. Within a week, you ought to be back at work, and after two weeks, you should be able to resume exercising. 

Before you may resume more difficult physical activity, such as lifting heavy weights and engaging in strong cardio exercises, we usually advise starting with low impact exercises like walking and cycling.

Dr. Vigo will ask that you refrain from exercising for the first two weeks to give the facial fat transplant time to accept its new blood supply because one possible risk of the procedure is that the fat won’t “take.”  Following surgery, you can resume driving after a few days. After a few days, restricted sexual activity can be resumed. You can talk more specifically about this with Dr. Vigo. It’s crucial that you adhere to Dr. Vigo’s aftercare recommendations. Failure to do so could affect the effects of the facial fat transfer and cause the healing process to be slowed down.

You might be interested in learning more about mastopexy surgery if you’ve grown more and more unhappy with the way your breasts are sagging. In order to reach your goals, Dr. Vigo may recommend adjunct operations such as breast augmentation or breast reduction in addition to your lift.

A breast lift restores a youthful form and lift to your breasts by addressing sagging and uneven breasts, decreased breast volume, drooping nipples, and stretched areolas (the darker area surrounding the nipples). In addition to a lift, a breast augmentation or breast reduction may be advised if there is an imbalance in the volume of the breasts. Numerous thousands of women have effective breast-lift surgeries each year, with no significant side effects, and are happy with the results.

BREAST LIFT WITH IMPLANTS

If you have very little breast volume and your breasts are sagging or have lost shape as a result of childbirth, weight loss, or the ageing process, cosmetic surgery that combines a breast lift (mastopexy) and the placement of breast implants (breast enlargement) can help you achieve the look you want.

Breast uplift surgery with implants will elevate ptosis (drooping) breasts by adjusting the position, size, and shape of the breasts during a single procedure that lasts around 2-2.5 hours, is performed under a general anaesthetic, and necessitates an overnight hospital stay. To give the breasts a more young and pert appearance, breast uplift surgery is quite successful.

If you already have sufficient breast volume then a breast lift without implants may be suggested by your surgeon. All your options will be discussed in detail at your surgeon consultation including the size of the implant and the extent of the breast lift.

BREAST LIFT WITHOUT IMPLANTS

A mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift without implants, is a surgical surgery that alters the size and contour of the chest by raising the breasts. Breast lifts—also called breast uplifts or boob lifts—reshape the breast to give it a more youthful appearance by removing extra skin and breast tissue. Implants might not always be the best option for you if you want to improve the form and profile of your breasts.

A breast lift without implants will solve this if your breasts are sagging but still have enough volume. This will give your breasts a more pert appearance. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or a major weight reduction are the most frequent causes of droopy breasts.

WHEN TO CONSIDER A BREAST LIFT

– Pregnancy, nursing, gravity, weight gain or loss, normal aging, and

  heredity have taken a toll on the shape of your breasts, resulting in

  sagging or excess skin

– If your surgeon thinks that breast implants alone are unlikely to achieve

  the contour you desire

– If the tissue surrounding the nipple or areola has become stretched

WHY HAVE A BREAST UPLIFT?

Breasts naturally droop with age, after pregnancy and breastfeeding, and after weight loss – this is because the skin and fibrous ligaments in the breast become stretched so the breast tissue is not supported.

It is not possible to recreate the fibrous support of the breasts, but they can be reshaped by removing extra skin, remodelling the breast tissue and moving the nipples up to the best position on the new breasts. Other options are to reduce the size of the areola (the darker skin around the nipple), or to have the breasts enlarged at the same time.

Having a breast uplift can make the breasts firmer and higher. After a breast uplift you may be more comfortable socially and personally. The best results are with women with small, saggy breasts, but breasts of any size can be lifted. The results of a breast uplift may not last as long with heavy breasts.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN BEFORE MY OPERATION?

You will meet with Dr. Vigo to talk about why you want surgery and what you want. Dr. Vigo will make a note of any illnesses you have or have had in the past. He will also make a record of any medication you are on, including herbal remedies and medicines that are not prescribed by your doctor.

Dr. Vigo will examine your breasts, and may take some photographs for your medical records. They will ask you if you want to have someone with you during the examination, and ask you to sign a consent form for taking, storing and using the photographs. He will measure your height and weight to make sure that it is safe to do an operation. If you are overweight, or planning to become pregnant, Dr. Vigo may suggest delaying your operation.

HOW IS THE SURGERY PERFORMED?

There are different types of uplift. The best type of uplift for you depends on your breast size and the result you want. Different types of uplift make different scars on the breasts. Whichever type of uplift you choose, the scars should not be visible when you wear normal clothing, bras and bikini tops,

The most common type of uplift, with a cut around your areola and vertically under your breast. Sometimes there is a cut in the crease under the breast to make an anchor shape. Extra skin is removed from underneath the breast, the breast is reshaped into a tighter cone and the nipples are moved to a higher level.

The size of the areola can also be reduced. If your breasts are small as well as droopy, you can have them enlarged with silicone implants. Having breast implants is the only way to significantly increase fullness above the nipples, but their weight can make the breast droop again over time.

MASTOPEXY SURGERY STEPS

Breast lift surgery involves reshaping the breast tissue and removing excess skin. Incision options include:

1) the pattern in which an incision is made around the areola

2) the vertical incision, in which incisions are made around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease

3) the inverted T or anchor incision, in which incisions are made around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the inferior breast fold.

The incision selected is based on your existing breast size and shape, the size and position of your areolae, the amount of breast sagging, and your skin quality and elasticity.

After the incisions are made, the breast tissue is lifted and reshaped, the nipple and areola are reduced and repositioned, and excess skin is removed. Sutures are placed deep within the breast tissue to support the newly shaped breasts. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable sutures.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY STAGE LIKE?

Following surgery, you will awaken in the recovery area. A responsible adult will need to be available to escort you home. The day after surgery, you may shower while leaving the tapes on your skin intact. Patients are seen in the clinic one week following surgery. Most sutures placed will dissolve on their own. Special bandages and drains are not used. Most patients do not complain of severe pain following this surgery, but note that their breasts feel sore for several days. Pain medication is prescribed for any discomfort. Swelling will be present for the initial 3-4 weeks after surgery. The scars will continue to fade and soften for up to one year following surgery, although they will never completely disappear.

COMMON REASONS WOMEN CHOOSE BREAST LIFT SURGERY

These alterations can be reversed and a more aesthetically attractive appearance can be restored by a breast lift, whether or not implants are used. after a large weight loss, to improve breast contour.

To improve the look of the newly created breasts, the breast lift treatment often involves repositioning the areolar location and nipple.

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 24 September 2024

We have some wonderful news if you’ve ever heard someone jokingly express a desire to increase the amount of fat transferred from their waist to their breasts: a process called “fat transfer breast augmentation” may actually make that happen. This technique involves injecting liposuctioned fat into the breasts from a target body region, such as the back, love handles, thighs, or arms. This procedure is perfect for people who only desire a little increase in breast size. It can help minimise imperfections, improve breast form, and increase your breasts by using your own natural fat cells. Furthermore, rather than undergoing an implant replacement procedure, those who currently have implants can enlarge them even further by having fat put into them.

Remember that fat transfer to the breasts is still a surgical procedure, even if the surgeon may just use a local anaesthetic. It is nevertheless essential to adhere to your surgeon’s recommendations for full healing, even though the recovery period following fat grafting typically lasts only three to five days and involves minimal discomfort and oedema. The popularity of fat transfer techniques stems from their ability to essentially fulfil two tasks at once.

Fillers in Dubai | 21 September 2024

Since the 1980s, wrinkles and fine lines on the face have been eliminated with injectable dermal fillers. Although there are currently more than a hundred distinct formulations available, collagen and hyaluronic acid (HA) are the most common dermal fillers. Lines and wrinkles emerge as a result of the natural ageing process and years of UV exposure, which deplete collagen and elastin. The skin thins and loses its flexibility. The loss of volume or fullness in the hands or facial features due to subcutis thinning gives the look of ageing common. This is frequently observed on the hands, neck, and face. Dermal fillers can safely, effectively, and long-lastingly improve your look by restoring your skin’s natural moisture balance.

This is commonly seen on the face, neck and hands. Dermal Fillers can provide natural replenishment for your skin with a safe, effective and long term improvement of your appearance. The best choice of filler for each patient will be determined at consultation. Dermal Fillers are very effective for structural reshaping of the Nose, Cheeks and Chin.

Dermal Fillers are used to replenish lost volume in the soft tissues or augment tissues to improve facial shape, contours or definition.  Belotero and Restylane are Hyaluronic acid products which replace your body’s natural Hyaluronic acid.

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 18 September

Most women have one larger breast than the other, although occasionally there is a more pronounced difference. Extremely unequal breasts, or breast asymmetry, can cause self-consciousness and misery. Women who are unevenly shaped often go to considerable lengths to conceal the disparity in their bodies while picking clothes, purposefully avoiding attractive bras and swimsuits.

Breast asymmetry surgery is a long-term solution to the unequal breast problem. It involves reducing or enlarging one breast to produce a more uniform balance. For many women, the results are life-changing, giving them the confidence to wear clothes that accentuate rather than hide their curves.Breast asymmetry is the term used to describe when one breast differs significantly in size or form from the other.

Small amounts of asymetry are typical. The majority of reasons are not serious, may be congenital, and frequently have no bearing. However, significant asymmetries frequently support remedial surgery. There are two primary methods for imbalance correction. The lesser breast can undergo breast augmentation surgery to enlarge its tissue and make it comparable to the other. Different-sized implants can be used to augment both sides if an increase in both size is sought.
