In order to create a less-tired and more youthful appearance, an upper eyelid lift, also known as an upper blepharoplasty, involves removing the folds of loose skin and bulges of projecting fat that sit over the top eyelids. 

The skin and muscles surrounding the eyes weaken and stretch as a result of gravity’s downward pull and a loss of skin elasticity. This leads to an accumulation of loose skin and fat protrusions that give the impression of “eye bags” or a hooded look of the upper eyelid skin. Smoking, sun exposure, and weight loss may all have an accelerating influence on this feature, which may run in families.

Blepharoplasty is an activity performed on the eyelids (upper, lower or both) which includes the expulsion of skin and delicate tissue, bringing about a fresher more energetic appearance to the eyes and whole face.

The blepharoplasty system is finished to decrease the greatness around the eyes. 

This appearance can be related with skin, fat, and muscle overabundance both to the upper and lower eyelids leaving patients with a drained appearance despite the fact that might feel great rested. Blepharoplasty is in many cases performed as an elective medical procedure for corrective reasons. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty tries to further develop puffy lower eyelid “packs” and diminish the wrinkling of skin.

Blepharoplasty is once in a while required for utilitarian reasons. At the point when a high level measure of upper eyelid skin is available, the skin might project over the eyelashes and causes a deficiency of fringe vision. The external and upper pieces of the visual field are most generally impacted and the condition might cause trouble with exercises like driving or perusing. In this situation, upper eyelid blepharoplasty is performed to work on fringe vision.

To appear younger is a typical motivation for blepharoplasty procedures. Due to the loss of collagen and the elasticity of the skin, the skin on our eyelids is frequently one of the first areas of the body to show indications of ageing. This causes the skin to sag and droop more, which might make us look older than we actually are. 

While everyone experiences this as a natural part of ageing, some people may be more prone to sagging or drooping eyelids, which can create issues early on and worsen with age. An upper blepharoplasty operation may be a very efficient technique to solve the issue and restore a person’s youthful appearance.

UNDERGOING  A BLEPHAROPLASTY

For upper eyelids, the specialist cuts along the crease of the eyelid. The specialist eliminates some overabundance skin, muscle and conceivably fat. Then, at that point, the specialist shuts the cut.

On the lower cover, the specialist makes a cut just underneath the lashes in your eye’s regular wrinkle or inside the lower top. The specialist eliminates or rearranges overabundance fat, muscle and hanging skin. Then, at that point, the specialist shuts the cut.

On the off chance that your upper eyelid hangs near your student, your specialist might do blepharoplasty joined with a technique called ptosis. Ptosis is intended to lift the eyelid as well as eliminate overabundance eyelid skin.

IS A BLEPHAROPLASTY RIGHT FOR YOU?

Hanging eyelids can make you look a lot more seasoned than you truly are. The saggy tops likewise make shadow zones that give your face a hazier, harsh appearance. Be that as it may, restorative medical procedure isn’t a great fit for everybody.

For the most part, optimal possibility for blepharoplasty incorporate the people who experience the ill effects of saggy lower eyelids that cause an expanded measure of eye white to show, the people who have hanging upper covers brought about by a development of greasy tissue underneath the skin and people who are having their vision – particularly their fringe vision – darkened. Packs under the lower covers can likewise be revised with blepharoplasty.

Eyelid blepharoplasty can have a striking effect in the presence of your face, lightening the presence of sluggishness and advanced age. Your eyes seem fresher and more young and these outcomes might keep going for a long time. The level of progress shifts from one patient to another.

BLEPHAROPLASTY RESULTS

Following a blepharoplasty medical procedure the face will have a more energetic appearance and generally speaking the eyelids feel less weighty. 

The outcomes by and large last 10 to 15 years and the medical procedure typically needn’t bother with to be rehashed. There is no such thing as an ideal tasks and no specialist is great. No individual has wonderful prior life systems and no skin twisted recuperates without some level of scarring. A gentle level of deviation between eyelids is the standard, as opposed to the exemption.

A practical assumption from the medical procedure would be a 80% improvement in the upper eyelid appearance and a 70% improvement in the lower eyelid appearance.

Unlike many other cosmetic procedures and anti-ageing products, a blepharoplasty procedure offers a long-lasting solution to tired eyes. As the results are long-term, most patients will not feel the need to come back in for a repeat procedure.

Of course, the ageing process will continue, and results will vary from person to person, but in most people, a well-performed blepharoplasty procedure should last between 10-15 years.

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that creates a replacement breast after a breast or a portion of a breast has been removed. The goal is to create a breast that is comparable to your natural breast in size and form. However, they won’t be the same.

TYPES OF RECONSTRUCTION

The main ways of making a new breast include:

– implants to replace all or some of your breast tissue

– using tissue taken from another part of your body (autologous or “flap” reconstruction)

– using your own tissue and an implant 

Dr. Vigo will talk to you about the different types of reconstruction. They may not all be suitable for you. They aim to match your other breast as much as possible.  Dr. Vigo can also show you pictures of different types of breast reconstruction. You can see how the reconstruction looks straight after surgery and several months later.

After reconstruction surgery you might consider more surgery to:

– create a new nipple (a nipple reconstruction)

– change the shape of your other breast to match

WHEN TO HAVE BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

Breast reconstruction can be done:

– at the same time as the cancer surgery (immediate reconstruction)

– after your cancer surgery (delayed reconstruction) 

When discussing reconstruction options with you, Dr. Vigo will consider:

– the type and stage of your cancer 

– other treatments that you might need 

– your feelings and preferences

IMMEDIATE BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

You immediately receive a new breast following an instant reconstruction. While Dr. Vigo will make every effort to match the reconstructed breast to your other breast, it won’t be an identical match. The replacement breast will appear and feel different from the removed one. However, some women discover that having their breasts immediately rebuilt makes it easier for them to deal with their emotions.

Advantages

– You will have your new reconstructed breast when you wake up after your mastectomy or breast conserving surgery.

– You usually have fewer operations, so fewer anaesthetics.

There won’t be as much scarring on the breast that was rebuilt; however, there may be a tiny patch of scarred skin where your nipple once was. 

Disadvantages

– You might not have as much time to decide on the type of reconstruction you want.

– If you are having radiotherapy after surgery, it might change how the reconstruction looks. 

– Dr. Vigo might advise you not to have implant reconstruction if you are having radiotherapy afterwards. But you can have a temporary implant during radiotherapy and a second reconstruction operation after the radiotherapy.

– Recovery time after surgery is longer with a reconstruction compared to having a mastectomy only.

– You may have more scars on your body, this depends on the type of reconstruction you have.

It’s probable that you’ll require additional surgery; this is typically minor surgery to achieve the best cosmetic result, and it might involve developing a new nipple. Complications following surgery may cause you to postpone receiving any necessary radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy occasionally prevent the body from healing itself as effectively. Therefore, you won’t be able to begin these treatments until the wounds have healed if there are any issues with the wound following your operation. 

DELAYED BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

Before considering having a reconstruction, some people would prefer to recover from their mastectomy and breast cancer therapy.

Advantages

– You have more time to look at your options and discuss them with 

Dr. Vigo.

– Your breast cancer treatment will be finished and won’t be affected by your reconstruction surgery.

– Your recovery is generally quicker as you have time to prepare yourself for your surgery.

Disadvantages

– You have a time after the mastectomy with no breast tissue, you can choose to wear a false breast (prosthesis) if you want to.

– You might have a larger scar on the reconstructed breast than after immediate reconstruction.

– You may need more surgery afterwards to get a good cosmetic effect – this is usually minor surgery that you may have as a day case.

WHO CAN HAVE BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

Breast reconstruction might be possible for you even if you have:

– a radical mastectomy (removal of the breast and the muscle behind it)

– radiotherapy

– large breasts 

If you are well enough you can have breast reconstruction at any age. There is a higher risk of complications if you smoke, are very overweight, or have other serious medical conditions.

RECONSTRUCTION AFTER BREAST CONSERVING SURGERY

Breast conserving surgery removes only part of the breast. After this kind of surgery and subsequent radiotherapy, the appearance of the breast is typically very excellent. When only a portion of a woman’s breast is taken, few of them require reconstructive surgery. But some women might require repair of the breast tissue that is still present. A partial surgery or breast reshaping might be an option.

HAVING A PARTIAL RECONSTRUCTION

Some women will require a quadrantectomy, for example, which involves removing a bigger portion of breast tissue. This indicates that roughly a fourth of the breast tissue is removed by Dr. Vigo. This kind of surgery results in the treated breast becoming smaller than the untreated breast and creates a dent in the breast. Nevertheless, by filling the dent with a small portion of living tissue, it is occasionally feasible to restore the shape with a partial reconstruction of the breast.  

RESHAPING THE BREAST

If you need a portion of your breast removed and you have fairly large breasts, reshaping might be a possibility. Therapeutic mammoplasty is the term used. To make a smaller breast, Dr. Vigo reshapes the leftover breast tissue. You can have surgery to reduce the size of your other breast (breast reduction) concurrently with your cosmetic procedure to make them equal in size. Alternately, you could decide to consume this afterward.

HELPING YOURSELF BEFORE BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

If you take the following steps before your surgery, you will heal more rapidly after reconstruction surgery.

Stop smoking 

Smoking can harm tissue blood flow. Additionally, it may make you more likely to contract an illness. Smoking raises the possibility of developing a hernia if tissue from the abdomen is removed. 

Maintain a healthy weight

If you are overweight, you run a higher risk of experiencing problems from an anaesthetic. If you would like to reduce weight before the procedure, request a referral to a dietitian.

Keep physically active

It can be useful to do sit ups if tissue is going to be taken from your tummy (abdomen). You could aim to build up to 30 sit ups a day. Talk to your doctor or specialist nurse before starting any exercise.

By removing sagging tissue between the top lip and the septum, lip lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that enhances the appearance of thin upper lips. In order to raise and enhance the appearance of the lips and cupid’s bow, Dr. Vigo makes a small incision in the lip area or under the nose and trims away extra skin. When you grin, it’s usually easier to see your teeth.

Lip lifts are frequently performed on patients to improve the lip shape or to make the philtrum area appear more youthful and fresher.

WHAT IS LIP LIFTING

A lip lift is a clinic-based surgical procedure that narrows the “philtrum,” or space between the nose and the top of the lip. The technique makes more pink tissue exposed, giving the lips the appearance of being bigger and more prominent. Additionally, it makes your top central teeth more visible while your lips are at rest. It’s an excellent alternative for those who wish to give their lips height rather than volume.

There are numerous lip lift variations. Knowing the different kinds and strategies will help you and Dr. Vigo have an informed discussion about which is best for you.

WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE LIP LIFTING?

There are various factors that influence people’s decisions about lift lip surgery. The procedure successfully tackles issues such an enlarged philtrum, the vertical groove between the nose and the upper lip, and a thin upper lip that is brought on by ageing or genetics.

Lip lifts provide a long-term fix for thin lips that lack shape and volume. It is a more long-lasting alternative to dermal fillers, making it a desirable choice for those who do not want the maintenance associated with fillers.

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?

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

– Your mental and physical health are both good.

– You are optimistic and realistic about what surgery can accomplish when you are at your desired weight.

– You’re seeking a long-lasting outcome.

– You have a 15mm or larger gap between your upper lip and nose.

– Your thin lips are a result of ageing or heredity.

– Your lip corners are downturned.

– You’re trying to find a substitute for lip fillers.

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

– scarring

– poor wound healing 

– blood loss during or after surgery

– nerve damage

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME FROM LIP LIFTING SURGERY?

The recovery period following a lip lifting treatment is relatively brief. After surgery, we strongly advise resting for 24 hours and refraining from heavy activity and smoking for the next few weeks. Before having raise lip surgery, we implore you to stop smoking.

Dr. Vigo advises avoiding sleeping on your faces and avoiding extending your mouth too widely in order to take extra precautions near the lip area. It will assist to use a toothbrush with a smaller head.

After surgery, you should be able to resume your regular daily activities in about seven days.

Profhilo works by boosting your natural collagen and elastin production, the cells responsible for giving skin its firm, youthful appearance. The unique injectable HA gel has the capability to stimulate four different kinds of collagen and elastin production, putting its performance above any other filler.

The HA solution is injected at five key points on either side of the face, restoring hydration – plumping out the skin – while also stimulating long-term collagen and elastin production.

Profhilo is ideal for combating several signs of aging, including:

– fine vertical lines around the mouth, also known as ‘smoker’s lines’

– wrinkles under and around the eye

– loose skin around the jawline and under the chin

– thin and/or sagging neck skin

– cheek wrinkles and hollow cheeks

Profhilo is highly recommended for mature patients looking to improve their skin’s quality and appearance, as well as younger patients seeking an effective preventative measure against first signs of aging.

Compared with Mesotherapy or Skin boosters, the key benefits of Profhilo are:

– quicker treatments with less injections and reduced discomfort

– less chance of bruising

– much longer-lasting results which improve over time

– fewer treatment sessions required

– significantly improves fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity & hydration

WHAT IS PROFHILO?

– Profhilo is not a dermal filler, but a new product altogether

– Profhilo is composed of highly purified hyaluronic acid, free from impurities and additives (offering greater safety and reduced side effects).

– Using patented thermal technology IBSA have produced this stable hybrid of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid at an incredibly high concentration of 32mg/ml, specifically engineered for ‘skin bioremodelling’.

– Profhilo is indicated for the treatment of skin laxity of the face, neck and body.

HOW DOES PROFHILO WORK?

Profhilo has a dual action on the skin:

– Hydrating and stimulating collagen and elastin production to renew your skin from within.

– Dermal scaffold action to support the skin

– Effectively stimulates production of both your natural collagen and elastin

– Profhilo has a proven safety record and results. It was awarded Product Innovation of the Year at the 2016 Aesthetics Awards in the UK and received the international Anti-Ageing and Beauty Trophy for ‘Best Skin Enhancement Device’ at the Aesthetic and Anti-Ageing Medicine European Congress in Paris October 2015

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?

Results following Profhilo are almost immediately visible, natural-looking yet noticeable rejuvenation of all treated areas; including brighter fresher-looking skin and even improvements to the under eye area.

Profhilo works to remodel your skin:

– stimulates production of all four types of collagen and elastin in the skin (the only product that can do this!)

– improves skin tone, texture, hydration and radiance

– increases firmness and elasticity – for healthier, softer skin with more ‘bounce’

– increases facial fullness, with a tightening and lifting effect

Profhilo delivers results quickly. After a recommended course (two Profhilo appointments, four weeks apart) skin looks deeply hydrated, facial skin appears firmer, and fine lines diminished. Skin tone also looks noticeably smoother and fuller. In mature patients, even deeper wrinkles and facial folds – such as nasolabial lines, the lines that run from the side of the nose to the mouth – are improved, while overall skin texture appears fresher, firmer and more radiant.

We all want to look our very best and having a toned physical appearance can mean all the difference to our confidence and wellbeing. If you are planning a special event, have a milestone birthday coming up, or simply want to look and feel better in yourself, Dr. Vigo offers a range of body sculpting and toning treatments so you can stand out from the crowd and really ‘own’ your physical appearance.

Renuvion® is a ground breaking, minimally-invasive tissue contracting treatment, which is perfect as a stand-alone procedure, or combined with fat removal treatments, for a holistic approach to body sculpting and skin toning. Renuvion® is a walk-in-walk-out procedure and can be conducted under a local or general anaesthetic, depending on what Dr. Vigo advises.

Until recently, no surgical procedure or energy source achieved consistent significant tightening without an extensive recovery. Now, whether ultrasonic liposuction is used in conjunction with Renuvion for skin tightening or not, there is hardly an area of the body that cannot be treated.

Renuvion is used in a minimally invasive procedure through small entry points to gently contract tissue below the skin. Incisional scars are very minor compared to traditional excisional surgery. The procedure can be performed while awake with a local anesthetic or while the patient is asleep. Recovery time is shorter compared to more invasive treatments and alternative minimally invasive RF technology. Doctors often report that the contraction effect created by Renuvion is noticeable immediately after treatment. Results may even continue to improve over time. 

WHAT IS RENUVION?

Renuvion is a revolutionary minimally invasive procedure that uses cold plasma energy on the underside of the skin to instantly tighten and rejuvenate anywhere on the face and body. A unique alternative to traditional facelifts, tummy tucks, and body sculpting, the Renuvion procedure will shrink and sculpt loose and lax skin without large incisions, downtime or complications of cosmetic surgery.

Renuvion for the face uses cold plasma energy under the skin to lift, tighten and rejuvenate the face and neck giving you natural-looking results with minimal downtime and no complications of a traditional facelift. Renuvion is unique because the cold plasma energy applied under the skin creates instant skin contraction resulting in improved laxity, tightening and shrinkage.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR THIS SKIN TIGHTENING PROCEDURE?

Renuvion is a treatment option for patients who want skin tightening results, but do not want to do invasive plastic surgery. No other minimally invasive technology will tighten the skin to this degree with such a:

– tiny incision

– little or no scarring

– minimal downtime

BENEFITS OF RENUVION FOR THE FACE

– Immediate skin tightening

– Improved skin elasticity

– Scar reduction

– Reduction and/or elimination of age spots, sun damaged pigment and 

   freckles

– Reduction of wrinkles and lines caused by ageing and weight changes

– Tightening of loose skin in known problematic areas of the face

– Improvement of skin texture and tone around the lips, eyes, cheeks, 

   forehead, jaw and neck

– Reduction of eye bags and crow’s feet

– Reduction of acne and pigment issues (chloasma)

RENUVION COMMON TREATMENTS

Both women and men can undergo Renuvion treatment. However, it is most popular with women and the most common treatment areas are:

– Face

– Neck

– Breasts

– Stomach

– Arms

– Thighs

WHAT IS PLASMA ENERGY?

Cold plasma is created when helium gas is energized by radiofrequency energy and delivered through the Renuvion device. Because Helium gas is very stable, it can be ionized at very low energy ensuring flexible, precise and safe delivery. Cold plasma is cooler than laser energy making Renuvion Face a safer procedure with less risk and damage to the tissue and affording patients a quick recovery. The level of improvement and rejuvenation from cold plasma energy is unrivaled in current technologies. No laser, ultrasound or radiofrequency treatment is capable of tightening and firming skin to this level.

RENUVION CONSULTATION

During your consultation, Dr. Vigo will evaluate your skin elasticity, and your underlying muscle tone. He will thoroughly explain the technique along with its risks, benefits, and recovery times.

RENUVION FACE PROCEDURE

Performed in a day care facility  and using local anesthesia with sedation, Dr. Vigo starts the Renuvion procedure with three tiny, hidden incisions under the chin and behind each ear. He will then use the Renuvion device sub-dermally (under the skin) to deliver cold plasma, which instantly tightens, shrinks and rejuvenates skin from the inside out. Results are immediate and continue to improve as your body continues to heal. A compressive garment is needed post operatively in order to enhance the result of the procedure.

DOES THE PROCEDURE REQUIRE GENERAL ANESTHESIA?

Renuvion can be done under general anesthesia, sedation or even local anesthesia only for limited areas.  

HOW MANY RENUVION TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

Renuvion is a single treatment. You will start seeing results soon after surgery, but the skin continues to tighten over the next several months and up to a year as the skin remodels and deposits new collagen.

RECOVERY AFTER RENUVION SKIN RESURFACING

Although most patients are up and about at 2 weeks, there is still redness/erythema that lasts approximately 4 weeks. The energy penetrates deep into the skin for maximal result which does lengthen downtime. This is in contrast to Renuvion tightening where I have had patients go back to work within a few days. For limited areas, most patients only require a pain reliever during recovery. 

RECOVERY & SIDE EFFECTS

Recovery from Renuvion procedures can take between two to three weeks depending on the extent of the procedure and the target area.

Larger body parts generally require more downtime and patients will feel more symptoms than that of smaller target areas. Patients should expect to experience symptoms for up to three weeks post treatment. These can include:

– Dry skin

– Peeling skin

– Mild pain

– Redness

– Swelling

– Itching

– Bruising

Medication can be taken to curb symptoms if at any point you feel uncomfortable. However, symptoms are very rarely severe and patients can usually return to regular light activities after two to five days.

It is common for patients to experience a ‘tight’ feeling in the area that has been treated as the sensation post treatment is different than before.

In addition, compression wraps can be worn day and night in the immediate recovery phase to help with the healing process and ensure a more comfortable resting / sleeping state.

However, every patient is different and no two are the same. So if you are feeling like you are experiencing more symptoms than you should, contact your clinician for assistance and advice.

SIMPLY BETTER

The precision of the Renuvion® device wand, the ultra-controlled heat and the fact that Renuvion® doesn’t require large incisions, this can all help to reduce the risk of this treatment, shortening recovery times and minimising scarring. Furthermore, research suggests that radio-frequency energy, such as that used in Renuvion® is able to deliver very similar results as with invasive surgery, but with far less risk.

Mia FemTech Dubai | 1 October 2024

Mia® FemTech is a less invasive, natural-looking breast augmentation option for women who have never had breast augmentation surgery. It leaves no scars and doesn’t require a scalpel or general anaesthesia. Amazingly, 90 minutes following the treatment, patients are free to leave the facility and get back to their regular lives.

Mia® FemTech is ideal for women who:

– Have had children and want to regain their pre-pregnancy confidence.

– Have never had surgery before and are seeking an increase in volume of up to two cup sizes.

– Have considered breast enhancement but were deterred by the scarring and downtime associated with traditional breast augmentation.

WHAT IS MIA® FEMTECH?

Created especially for breast augmentation, Mia® FemTech is a cutting-edge method in the realm of cosmetic surgery by Establishment Laboratories, the same company that makes Motiva Implant. It differs from conventional techniques in that it is less intrusive, aims for less scarring, and requires a shorter recovery period. With the use of cutting-edge surgical instruments and technology, Dr. Vigo is able to precisely and safely execute breast augmentation procedures with a smaller incision.

HOW IS MIA® FEMTECH PERFORMED?

The Mia FemTech procedure involves several key steps:

Consultation and Planning

A detailed discussion of the patient’s expectations and goals during the consultation. Dr. Vigo assesses the anatomy of the patient to decide on the best course of action.

Anaesthesia

The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation to ensure patient comfort.

Incision

Usually the armpit, a small incision is made in a hidden place. Depending on the anatomy of the patient and the intended result, the exact site of the incision may change.

Placement of Implants

Dr. Vigo uses specific instruments and methods to make an implant pocket. The implants are then cautiously placed utilising a unique delivery mechanism through the tiny incision.

Closure

The incision is closed with sutures, and a surgical dressing is applied. The small size of the incision typically results in minimal scarring.

MORE ABOUT THE MIA® FEMTECH INCISION

The anatomy of the patient and the intended outcome determine the size of implants that may be utilised with Mia® FemTech. Usually, the surgery is limited to a cup-sized increase in size. Traditional breast augmentation or MiniAugmentation treatments will produce the necessary effects if you would prefer a bigger increase in breast size.

HOW MIA® FEMTECH DIFFERS FROM A TRADITIONAL BREAST AUGMENTATION?

Mia® FemTech differs from traditional breast augmentation in several key ways:

Incision Size

Compared to previous procedures, which usually require bigger incisions to put the implants, Mia® FemTech employs a substantially smaller incision. However, if you’re thinking about getting tiny implants, we can often accomplish this with a 3–4 cm incision.

Recovery Time

Patients frequently recover from Mia® FemTech procedures more quickly because they are less intrusive. Less downtime and a speedier return to regular activities result from this. There are restrictions on the size and surgical plane of the FemTech implant process.

Scarring

The smaller incision used in Mia® FemTech results in less noticeable scarring, which is in the armpit.

Technology and Tools

Mia® FemTech uses a diamond shaped implant which provides more projection with a smaller size.

With its less invasive approach that may result in shorter recovery times and less scarring, Mia® FemTech is a significant leap in the area of breast augmentation. Like any surgical operation, there are risks associated with it.

Mia® FemTech is for all those women who are looking for proportion, harmony and naturalness in their breasts.

Plastic Surgery Dubai | 27 September 2024

The phrase “Mummy Makeover” refers to a combination of procedures a patient may have after giving birth in order to rebuild and repair their body. Pregnancy and lactation cause the female body to undergo several changes, which for some women can result in diminished self-esteem and heightened anxiety. After a prolonged period of pregnancy and lactation, you may find yourself yearning to return your body to its pre-childhood form. Thankfully, modern restorative care techniques have enabled us to address common discomfort sites and help women become more confident about their looks after having children.

A mother’s body will often be under extreme pressure throughout pregnancy and after giving birth, and even the healthiest, most robust woman may experience unfavourable changes to her looks. A woman may discover that she is less confident in her appearance, which can tinge the glitter of parenting and the delight of raising a child with a hint of resentment. Hormonal changes can lead to increased appetite and weight gain, which is one of the progressions a woman may experience. A woman may discover that her body clings the excess fat she gained throughout her pregnancy as well as the excess skin caused by the expansion of her abdominal wall after she becomes pregnant.

A “mummy makeover” is a combination of surgical treatments performed on the thighs, hips, abdomen, and breasts with the goal of returning the body to its original shapes and sizes prior to childbirth. Frequently used techniques include liposuction, stomach folding, and bosom lifts and expansions. These can be combined into one single procedure. One reason for the mum makeover’s renown is that each system is specially tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient; there are no pre-made components. However, the meticulous approach generally starts with a technique for sculpting the breasts and abdomen, then adds additional elements as needed.

A mother makeover will often centre on a bosom and mid-region treatment because these are the key places of growth with parenting. Throughout pregnancy and breast care, the breasts will also enlarge, perhaps by up to a full cup size. However, returning to “typical” can result in a significant loss in breast volume and distinguishable listing. The skin, tissues, and abs expand throughout pregnancy to safely accommodate the growing kid. Sadly, these layers might not revert to their stiff, pre-child form following delivery.

Inserts into the breasts can restore volume and completeness that has been lost, and a bosom lift helps elevate the skin to help the form grow further. Compared to previous times, the current bosom expansion is more successful and secure. A breast reduction surgery can provide a more modest, more perfect appearance for those with overly huge, uncomfortable bosoms. In order to further enhance the figure, subsequent techniques often involve liposuction, circumferential abdominoplasty, and abdominoplasty, sometimes known as belly folds. Ladies don’t have to stop there, though, since a mother makeover can also include a Brazilian butt lift, arm lift, or thigh lift.

When compared to a single medical operation, combining many medical procedures into one approach might lengthen the recovery period. This recovery period is still far shorter than recovering from each individual medical operation on its own. More time is anticipated for healing the more intrusive the medical procedure. The length of time it takes for each patient to recover will vary depending on the therapies used in their makeover.

These are the main advantages to be aware of if you are thinking about getting breast implants:

Increased Self-Esteem: Most women report feeling more self-assured following breast implant surgery. In a survey, nine out of 10 women who had the procedure reported feeling more self-assured. Increased self-worth can result in more significant and long-lasting benefits. When your self-esteem improves, you might be ready to ask someone out or pursue that promotion. As a result, your relationships and connections could feel better. Once you genuinely love yourself, you too can enjoy life.

Better Breast Symmetry: A lot of ladies don’t have symmetrical breasts. Perhaps one is bigger than the other. It is possible for nipples to point in various directions or have varying diameters. There may be a difference in the hanging height of each breast. All of these problems may be resolved with breast implant surgery, giving you genuinely symmetrical breasts and nipples.

Improved Breast Appearance Following Pregnancy
After pregnancy, your breasts might appear drastically different, whether or not you decide to nurse. Breasts enlarge throughout pregnancy and after giving birth. But when it’s all over, they could appear hollow or sagging. Despite your decreased volume, you still have a lot of excess tissue. Your breast attractiveness may suffer even more from many pregnancies.

More Stunning Cleavage: Many women like to flaunt their gorgeous cleavage, but they discover that this exposes more of their sternum than their breasts. You can get the desired cleavage with a breast augmentation. Dr. Vigo can strategically position breast implants to accentuate your cleavage. Improved cleavage can also result from breast implants’ greater volume.

New Options for Your Wardrobe: A new form and style for clothing accompany a new set of breasts. Your old garments may no longer look the same, but you may now wear new designs and necklines that you were previously unable to wear. Maybe you’d like a sophisticated scoop neck or a deeper V-neck. To balance out your altered figure, you might choose to wear a dress with a fit and flare.

A More Youthful Appearance – Breasts might lose volume and droop with age. Every woman experiences this, which is why low-hanging or flat breasts are seen to be signs of ageing. However, breast augmentation surgery can resolve these two problems. Your overall appearance will alter when your breasts appear taller and fuller. You may even appear younger and with better posture as a result.

Enhanced Self-Confidence: Most women who have breast implant surgery say they feel more self-assured. Furthermore, having confidence is healthy. Poor health has been related to low self-esteem and confidence. You take better care of your body and have better general health when you feel good about your physical appearance.

PLASTIC SURGERY DUBAI | 21 September 2024

Renuvion®, sometimes referred to as J-Plasma®, is a medical technique that uses radiofrequency (RF) radiation and helium plasma to precisely heat connective tissues just beneath the skin to encourage contraction, tightening, and shrinking of tissue. Through a thin, hand-held wand, the RF energy and helium plasma are concurrently released to produce an even application. The method leaves tissue with a striking but delicate look. The chin, neck, arms, breasts, chest, belly, inner thighs, lower thighs, and knees are the regions that Renuvion® treats most frequently.

Renuvion is a fantastic way to lessen the need for skin tightening surgery for patients. As we age, our skin becomes less elastic, which can occasionally result in looseness in undesirable places. Renuvion, when taken in isolation, can treat the body’s creases and superfluous skin to provide minor changes in muscle definition and shape. This technique can improve contouring outcomes and successfully minimise fine lines and skin folds when combined with liposuction. Renuvion is a one-time treatment that, in contrast to other skin tightening methods, instantly tightens skin and stimulates the creation of collagen, which might last for several months following the procedure.

Renuvion technology is frequently used to the face to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. The apparatus functions in the same manner, simultaneously releasing RF and helium gas to produce thermal heating and plasma. The Renuvion device is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that may be used on the face in fractionated, painted, or pulsed patterns. In order to create ports for the Renuvion device, Dr. Vigo makes three tiny incisions behind the chin and in each ear. If liposuction is necessary, it is done prior to starting the skin tightening procedure. The region is numbed before the gadget is carefully placed beneath the skin and turned on. The skin tightens and new collagen is formed as a result of the plasma beams’ interaction with the tissues.

If Renuvion® is determined to be the best course of action, Dr. Vigo will perform the operation in a cutting-edge clinic. Dr. Vigo makes tiny incisions in the tissue to insert the Renuvion® disposable probe after carefully identifying the treatment region or areas and administering the proper anaesthetic. The shrinking effect is induced in the tissue by precisely releasing helium plasma and radiofrequency radiation. Very thin dressings are placed, and the margins of the incisions are sealed with dissolvable stitches. The procedure is often carried out under general anaesthesia as a day case.

The soft tissue contracts as a result of the treatment, and this is frequently apparent right away. Over the course of the following six to nine months, as the body heals, the outcomes will get better. Incision lines will eventually disappear and post-surgical oedema will decrease. As you recuperate entirely following surgery, you should continue to feel more satisfied with your new appearance. It is crucial that you adhere to Dr. Vigo’s post-operative recommendations and follow-up appointments in order to get the best outcomes.

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 18 September 2024

One of the most common plastic operations for women is breast augmentation, however breast enlargement doesn’t necessarily include breast implants.An further safe, efficient, and all-natural method of increasing breast size is by fat transfer breast augmentation, which also leaves no scars behind.

The steps involved in fat grafting are as follows.

The greatest material for breast augmentation is fatty tissue since it eliminates frequent issues with breast implants, such capsular contracture, nipple loss of sensitivity, implant deflation, and noticeable rippling.

The following are the three primary steps in fat transfer breast augmentation:

By using liposuction, the fat cells are extracted from a donor site on your body.

The fat is condensed and prepared for the breast augmentation surgery after being extracted from the anaesthetic liquid used in liposuction.

To enhance breast size, fat is injected into the breasts.

How Is Breast Augmentation Through Fat Transfer Processed?

To put it simply, liposuction is the method used to perform a fat transfer. Not just the breasts, but any desirable body portion can be injected with fat that has been extracted from another region of your body, such as your stomach, buttocks, or thighs.Stem cells found naturally in the fat that has been extracted are retained by using extremely tiny, needle-like harvesting cannulas. In a sterile closed system, the fat is cleansed and filtered in between the liposuctioning and the injection. This technique reduces contamination before reinjection and increases the likelihood that fat cells will survive.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer

A fat transfer augmentation cannot provide a certain size result, in contrast to a breast implant, whose size is predetermined.

Positives: Boosts self-esteem, It feels natural, is entirely natural, and lowers danger.

Cons: Because the volume injected is not always identical to the ultimate, stable size, results might be difficult to interpret. May need many treatments: The intended result may not be achieved with a single treatment if there is unexpected fat absorption.
