ALL ABOUT BUCCAL FAT REMOVAL FOR THINNER CHEEKS
Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 6 November 2023
To alter the look of the face and lower cheek size, buccal fat can be surgically removed. The buccal pad is located deep within the cheek fat. It is located between two face muscles, below the cheekbone.
The size of this fat pad affects the shape of the face. They exist in all people, however they differ greatly in size. Through surgery, the size of this pad can be reduced. It will reduce roundness or fat in the cheeks, giving the face a more angular shape.
If you have dense buccal fat pads, your face will seem bigger or rounder. Sometimes others will refer to it as a “baby face.” There is nothing wrong with having larger buccal fat pads in the face, but if you wish them to seem smaller, Dr. Matteo Vigo is skilled at executing this fat removal surgery. Buccal fat reduction reduces facial fat, especially in the cheek hollows, with the goal of thinning the cheek region. Even while having a flexible, smooth face is often associated with youth, some people believe that their faces are too broad or large.
The pads on each patient’s faces might be different sizes overall and on either side. Patients who have this kind of cosmetic surgery frequently do not have narrow or long faces. Therefore, they would appear older and more worn-down. Instead, the cheekbones are meant to be highlighted. Larger cheeks are perfectly fine, however many patients prefer prominent cheekbones. This technique may improve patients’ appearance due to a more defined face shape. The best part is that there are no noticeable scars left behind because all incisions are made inside the patient’s lips. Furthermore, it doesn’t take very long; often, it only takes a little bit longer than an hour.

BREAST AUGMENTATION & ENLARGEMENT
Plastic Surgery Dubai | 24 October 2023
Breast augmentation surgery requires general anaesthesia, takes one to two hours on average, and can be done throughout the day or overnight. It’s important to restrict light activity and avoid heavy lifting for seven to ten days following surgery. After surgery, patients may usually return to driving and working 10 days later. After surgery, athletes should refrain from hard workouts and sports for three to four weeks.
Breast augmentation may expand your bust size and bring your breasts into better proportion with the rest of your body, which can boost your confidence and make you seem better. Breast augmentation can also be used to correct drooping breasts or size differences that might appear after breast-feeding or pregnancy.
The finest breast augmentation option for you must be carefully considered because there are many options and choices available. You should be informed of the advantages and disadvantages of each choice before going over your alternatives with your surgeon.Breast implants will increase the size of your breasts, but the form of your breasts won’t alter at all; in fact, following the surgery, the contrast between your breasts’ size and shape can even be more obvious.
WHAT ARE VAMPIRE FACIAL AND PRP TREATMENTS
Cosmetic Clinic Dubai | 18 October 2023
The premise of the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) procedure, popularly known as the “Vampire Facelift” or “Dracula Therapy,” is that the body’s own healing mechanisms may have the capacity to both suddenly reverse and slow down the ageing process.
We believe that the skin should heal and rejuvenate itself precisely where development components are positioned inside a progressive repair framework.
Platelets contain high levels of “development factors,” or proteins that aid in the repair of injured skin or tissue. The surrounding cells divide as a result of the platelets’ release of growth factors during reinfusion, animating the fix, adding volume, and rejuvenating the skin.
An avant-garde With the use of the concentrated platelet rich plasma system, I am able to treat large volumes of whole blood, allowing me to treat more areas in a single appointment and reducing the frequency of visits for patients. The patient’s blood is drawn during the procedure, processed (in a rotator) to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then injected once again into the targeted area. The procedure offers the skin a plumped appearance, smoothes out minor variances and kinks, and makes the skin appear overall more radiant. Additionally, the method is fantastic for healing wounds.
BENEFITS OF A MUMMY MAKEOVER AFTER PREGNANCY
Cosmetic Clinic Dubai | 11 October 2023
Do you know about the Mommy Makeover? The popularity of this combination of surgical treatments is growing daily. Every patient receives a unique Mommy Makeover package designed to return her postpartum physique to its pre-pregnancy form. The stomach tuck is included in several packages.The uterus expands to accommodate the growth of the baby inside the woman’s body.
This has the unfortunate side effect of stretching the abdominal muscles apart and weakening the abdominal wall. Muscle tissue sags and bulges, the skin of the stomach stretches, and excess fatty tissue forms in the region. This makes the abdomen look out of shape by creating a “pooch” of flab, along with stretch marks in the skin.
To restore the abdominal wall, trim away excess skin, remove stretch marks, and suction out excess fatty tissue, we offer the tummy tuck as an option for your Mommy Makeover package.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE GETTING LIP FILLER
Fillers in Dubai | 9 October 2023
Every single person is distinct. Variations in lip form, metabolism, heredity, risk factors, and aesthetic goals are all included in this. Instead of comparing your lip, architecture, or volume to someone else’s, embrace your uniqueness! It’s what makes us unique.
How long does it take?
– 10 minutes of topical numbing
– 10 minutes of procedure
Is it painful?
– Most clients have minimal discomfort, on a scale of 1-10, they are a 2-3. This is less painful than laser hair-removal, thanks to our unique numbing technique!
How swollen will I be?
– Everyone is different, some people swell up while others do not, swelling depends on multiple factors. Just because you didn’t swell one time, does not mean you will not swell the next time you do a treatment. Sometimes an anti-swelling medication will be given after your injection. I can address this at the time of the visit. Major swelling typically lasts less than 4 days on average, while minor residual swelling can last 14-21 days.
What about bruises?
– Some people are pre-disposed to bruise, avoiding vitamins, alcohol, and ibuprofen type products can decrease the chances of a bruise. Bruising comes in three sizes: Small (like the tip of a needle), medium (like the back of pencil eraser or two pencils erasers), and large (gum-ball sized). Depending on the type of bruise they can last 2-3 days or up to 2 weeks respectively. Arnika pills can be purchased during your visit that can help heal bruises. From time to time a laser can be used to speed up the process if warranted for specific cases.
How long does it last?
– Typically lip injections last 6 months depending on multiple factors including product used. I’ve seen people that have had fillers lasting as little as 2 months and as much as 1 year.
WHICH IS BETTER: FAT TRANSFER OR BREAST IMPLANTS?
Breast Augmentation Dubai | 6 October 2023
If you’ve ever heard someone jokingly say they wish they could transfer more fat from their waist to their breasts, we have some great news for you: a procedure known as “fat transfer breast augmentation” may really make that happen.
This surgery involves injecting breasts with fat that has been liposuctioned from a certain body part (the thighs, arms, love handles, or back). This surgery is perfect for people who only desire a little increase in breast size. It can help lessen imperfections, improve breast form, and increase your breasts by using your own natural fat cells. Additionally, individuals who already have implants can increase the size of their breasts even more by having fat transferred into them rather than having an implant replacement treatment. Breast augmentation is always breast augmentation, regardless of whether you label it “augmentation light.”
It’s important to keep in mind that even though a surgeon may just employ local anaesthetic, fat transfer to the breasts is still a surgical operation. Even though the recovery after fat grafting usually only lasts three to five days and entails little discomfort and swelling, it’s still crucial to follow your surgeon’s instructions for complete healing.
Fat transfer procedures essentially accomplish two goals at once, which accounts for their popularity. In the end, the patient is able to define their shape by contouring and moulding their body by eliminating fat from a region with excess fat. While waiting, the fat can be used once again to augment the breasts in a way that feels and looks very natural. Hearing this idea puts a lot of women at ease. In the end, there is no risk of an allergic response, a rupture, or implant rejection with fat grafting.
BREAST PTOSIS – SOLUTIONS FOR SAGGING OR DROOPING BREASTS
Breast Augmentation Dubai | 1 October 2023
There is always some risk involved with surgery. It might be as safe to get a breast augmentation and lift at the same time, though. Augmentation-mastopexy surgery offers some unique benefits in addition to resolving a range of cosmetic issues. The following reconstructive and cosmetic advantages come from combining these breast operations:
– There is less scarring
– There is less removal of skin
– The implant helps fill out the breast and improves its overall appearance so that less lifting is needed
– Combining surgeries is less expensive than having both surgeries separately
– Combining surgeries can reduce overall recovery time
The hazards are the same whether procedures are carried out alone or in tandem, and most patients would rather have only one surgical treatment, if at all feasible. Every operation, after all, comes with a certain amount of inconvenience: Patients need to make plans for time off work, find a caretaker to help them during their first recuperation, and (if they have children) find a creche facility. Doing these activities twice instead of once not only requires more labour, but it usually costs more money.
LIPOSUCTION FOR EFFECTIVE BODY CONTOURING
Plastic Surgery Dubai | 30 September 2023
A common cosmetic procedure called liposuction can help you achieve a more consistent body contour and get rid of stubborn fat cells. For a tight and toned appearance, people frequently receive liposuction on their belly, buttocks, thighs, chin, neck, upper arms, calves, back, and on the back of their arms.
Unwanted fat deposits are present in places including the face, neck, breast, belly, upper arm, hips, thighs, knees, and ankles that are resistant to diet and exercise. Your surgeon will follow established guidelines regarding safe volumes that may be removed in one session during liposuction-liposculpture procedures, which can be performed on several areas at once. Although size improvement is a goal, weight loss is not the purpose of this surgery. After your surgery, it can take six months before the final effects are obvious.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING LIPOSUCTION?
Prior to discussing the procedure with you, Dr. Vigo will evaluate your general health, the condition of your skin, and the quantity of fat that needs to be removed.
Various anaesthetic techniques are employed during liposuction. You might use a local anaesthetic if only a modest amount of fat needs to be removed. A general anaesthesia could be necessary for more involved procedures. The quantity of fat being removed will determine how long your liposuction surgery takes.
Dr. Vigo will make a small incision in the skin. Using a thin, hollow tube they will break up the fat cells beneath the skin surface and remove them with a special suction or vacuum. Several incisions may be required for larger areas. Any incisions will be stitched at the end of the procedure. The area will be bandaged for support.
THE BENEFITS OF LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction has many benefits associated with having the procedure done. While most of the benefits are cosmetic in nature, there are a few medical benefits that could lead someone to have liposuction.
Lipodystrophy Syndrome: People who have this syndrome have fat that deposits in one area of their body and leaves another. Liposuction can give them an even fat distribution back.
Lipomas: A lipoma is a fatty tumor that is benign. They can develop all over a person’s body, but they routinely appear under the arms, neck, shoulders, and on your trunk. Liposuction can break up these fatty tumors.
Lymphedema: Lymphedema is a chronic condition that affects people on a long-term basis. Lymph fluid collects and pools under the skin causing swelling in the person’s legs and arms. Liposuction can take out this pooled fluid, reduce the swelling, and reduce any discomfort.
Weight Loss: People who have lost an extreme amount of weight may benefit from liposuction. It can break down any remaining stubborn fat deposits to give the person an even appearance.
Tightening and Toning: Liposuction can get rid of and reduce the appearance of uneven fat deposits. As a result, you’ll get a tighter and more toned physique.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
Liposuction is considered to be a relatively safe procedure, but it does have a few side effects you want to watch out for. If you’re concerned, it’s always a good idea to contact Dr. Vigo.
– Bruising that can last for weeks
– Inflammation that can last up to six months
– Contour irregularities
– Numbness
– Infection
– Friction burns
HOW LIPOSUCTION WORKS
Small incisions are made in hair bearing areas or natural skin folds. A special tumescent solution is next placed within the fatty areas to be removed. This solution provides anesthesia to the areas, while limiting the usual blood loss. Fat is then carefully removed from the areas of concern to the patient using a surgical instrument called a cannula, which is attached with tubing to a suction machine. The time for completion of the procedure depends upon the total amount of fatty tissue removed. At the end of the procedure, the skin openings may be sutured or left open to heal, depending on the size of the openings. The patient may be placed in a compression garment that is worn for certain amount of time afterwards.
While recovery is easy, you should expect some initial drainage along with swelling, bruising and discomfort. Your compression garment will minimize the swelling, bruising, discomfort and assist in the retraction of any loose skin. While some results are noted immediately, your final shape and form will continue to improve as your swelling subsides. You will be encouraged to be up and about the night of your surgery and progressively increase your activities. Usually light work duties may be resumed within three to five days and vigorous exercise within two to four weeks.
The fat stores that have just been removed from your body are purified and readied for injection into your buttocks. Your surgeon finishes by injecting the processed fat into specific areas of the buttocks to create a more rounded, full look. They make three to five incisions around the buttocks for fat transfers. Both liposuction and fat transfer incisions are closed up with stitches. Your surgeon then applies a compression garment against the affected areas of skin to minimize your risk of bleeding.
For patients thinking about liposuction, it is important to remember that this treatment is not a cure, but can help to correct and improve bodily contours in areas that are resistant to weight loss. As a surgical technique, liposuction works by removing pockets of fat in areas that are beyond the reach of diet and exercise. It is most effective for people who are near normal weight and have firm, elastic skin. It should not be thought of as a substitute for losing weight.
The areas that are most commonly treated by liposuction are the tummy, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, neck, upper arms and male breasts. There are various liposuction techniques available, but no single technique works for all patients. Each liposuction procedure will be tailored to a patient’s needs and physical condition. At the end of the operation, tight bandages or elasticated clothing will be applied to the area to minimise swelling and help the body conform to its new shape. With the exception of showering, this garment should be worn both day and night for at least two weeks and thereafter for another four to six weeks.
Complications are infrequent, although there can be considerable pain following this procedure, particularly if a large amount of fat has been removed. The following are commonly experienced by patients:
Stiffness and pain; swelling, bruising; numbness; unusual sensations; fine thread veins; lumpy appearance as remaining fat settles
If a small amount of fat is removed during an operation, patients should be able to return to work within a day or two. However, you may need extra time off if the liposuction was more extensive. Patients can usually return to their usual routines within three to four weeks.
The effects of the operation should be long-lasting, so long as a patient’s weight remains stable.
COMPRESSION GARMENTS
You will be fitted with compression bandages or elasticated supports for the appropriate areas after your surgery. You will also have dressings to cover the entry points and wounds from surgery.
Compression bandages and compression garments will help to get rid of swelling and bruising. The length of time that you wear these for is dependent on the nature of your procedure; it can be several weeks or months.
You are likely to be given specific garments to wear, so that they target the precise area that they have treated. It is important to wear these and follow instructions from your surgeon, so that the affected areas are properly supported during your recovery.
You can remove these garments and bandages when you shower, but check what guidance your surgeon can offer regarding how soon you should wait before submerging the wound in water. Typically, you should avoid showering or bathing for the first week after your procedure.
LIPOSUCTION RECOVERY
You might be able to undergo the surgery as a day case, depending on the scope of the treatment. Once the anaesthesia wears off, you will require painkillers. After surgery, you might need to wear an elastic support garment for two to six weeks. Do not forget to ask a friend or family member to drive you home.
Five to ten days after your surgery, you’ll need to have your stitches removed. Depending on how extensive your treatment is, you might need to take one or two weeks off from work. You must rest and refrain from engaging in any vigorous activities for the first few weeks. The shape of your body will change once the swelling has subsided.
CORRECTING BREAST ASYMMETRY
Plastic Surgery Dubai | 26 September 2023
The majority of women have a bigger breast than the other, but in some cases the difference is more noticeable. Breast asymmetry, or extremely uneven breasts, can make you feel miserable and self-conscious. When choosing clothing, women with an uneven contour frequently go to great measures to cover up the difference, actively avoiding pretty bras and swimwear.
Breast asymmetry surgery, which entails the reduction or enlargement of one breast to achieve a more even balance, is a long-term answer to the issue of uneven breasts. The outcomes are transformative for many women, allowing them to dress in ways that highlight rather than conceal their shapes.
BREAST ASYMMETRY CORRECTION
When one breast is bigger or has a distinct shape from the other, it is said to have breast asymmetry. 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.
The other option is to use expander augmentation. Expander enhancement is a secure procedure frequently used by women with asymmetrical breasts to enlarge the smaller breast. The expander is typically left in position for around a year before a second procedure is carried out to remove it and swap it out for a permanent silicone implant. The benefit of this technique is that it frequently results in a precise size match between your two breasts.
Many women elect to have the saline expander changed because the silicone implant that takes its place feels softer and more natural. Alternatively, the expander can be left in place serving as a permanent implant with the valve removed, negating the need for a replacement.
An option would be to have the larger of the two breasts reduced to match the smaller breast. The extra breast flesh must be removed in order to do this. Breasts that are more similar in size are the outcome of either procedure.
Not only has correcting breast asymmetry aided women in looking better, but it can also enhance confidence and self-esteem. They are frequently done after cancer therapy or a mammogram. Scoliosis patients have also undergone surgery to correct their breast inequality. During your initial appointment, your surgeon will go over the options for correcting breast asymmetry with you. This and other problems will be discussed.
OPTING FOR PLASTIC SURGERY
Surgery to correct breast inequality is not always the best option. It’s a very private choice that, in the end, only you can make. Dr. Vigo is available to give you the details you require to better comprehend the process and the potential outcomes. You need to go into this with realistic goals, says Dr. Vigo.
When you have asymmetrical breasts, you can balance out the shape of your breast by either enlarging or contracting your larger breast. Although breast asymmetry surgery is the most popular option, in some cases it may be possible to resolve the issue with a breast uplift (mastopexy) operation on one or both of your breasts.
Dr. Vigo will explain everything to you during your appointment. Of course, you should take advantage of this as well to ask questions so that you can decide whether to proceed in a well-informed manner.
Complications from breast asymmetry surgery can include bleeding, infection, or an adverse response to the anaesthetic. By carefully adhering to our recommendations both before and after operation, you can lower your risks.
You should be aware that even though every effort will be made to conceal them and you can usually hide the majority of them with your bra and bathing suit, breast augmentation and reduction procedures will leave visible, permanent scars. Smokers are more likely to experience slow healing and wider marks.
Some patients may suffer a permanent lack of feeling in their breasts or nipples after this kind of surgery. Rarely, the blood flow to the nipple and areola may be cut off, causing the tissue to perish. (Modern methods can be used to rebuild the nipple and areola. On rare occasions, it may also be necessary to rebuild the breast tissue beneath.) In the future, you won’t be able to breastfeed in a breast that has been diminished.
You are placing yourself in the best hands possible if you have your breast asymmetry surgery with Dr. Vigo. To get the best results from your breast asymmetry correction, you must follow his guidance afterward because, as with any operation, there are factors that are beyond our control.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT’S INVOLVED
Dr. Vigo will go over the factors that could influence your treatment during your consultation, including your age, the size and shape of your breasts, and the state of your skin. He will also go over the positioning of the nipple and areola, which will be raised during the operation and should be roughly even with the crease under your breasts. Every patient naturally has a unique perspective on the ideal size and shape for their breasts, and we will customise your procedure to meet your needs as closely as possible.
It’s essential to remember that breast asymmetry surgery won’t likely produce perfectly symmetrical breasts, but the final result should be much closer to that, giving you more confidence to wear your regular clothes, knickers and swimwear. You will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare, including rules on what to consume and drink, smoke, and take medications, before you arrive for your treatment.
The procedure, which requires a general anesthetic, typically lasts between two and four hours, but it could take longer in some circumstances. You should plan on spending two to three days in the infirmary. Please be advised that a mammogram (breast x-ray) may be recommended for you to have before surgery.
You’ll need to remember to ask someone to drive you home after your surgery and to help you out for a few days afterwards to enable you to rest.
CORRECTING BREAST ASYMMETRY – RECOVERY
Whether you had a reduction or an enlargement, you can anticipate some discomfort for a week or more after your procedure. Pain medication will be given to you. Expect to experience some pain for the first few days, particularly when you cough or move around.
After a few days, you’ll be able to take a wash, and after a week, any tapes will be taken off and, if necessary, replaced with a soft bra. For several weeks, until the puffiness and bruising go down, it is best to wear the bra constantly. Few, if any, stitches need to be removed because absorbable sutures are used.
Your breasts could ache and swell during your first period after surgery. For a few months, you might additionally experience sporadic, shooting aches. You might be told to refrain from sexual activity for at least a week and to limit breast touch to gentle patting for about six weeks.
Even though the majority of the puffiness and bruising will disappear within the first few weeks, it could take your breasts six months to a year to adapt to their new shape. Even then, they might alter in shape as a result of your chemical changes, weight changes, or pregnancy.
Additionally, you’ll need to go to one or more follow-up appointments so that Dr. Vigo can make sure your recovery is proceeding normally. Additionally, he will offer you tips on how to recuperate quickly from your breast asymmetry correction surgery. Of course, you can always contact him with any questions you may have following the procedure.
