Tummy Tuck Dubai | 26 August 2023

An abdominoplasty can shrink your waist by removing extra, loose skin and fat and enhancing the muscles in your abdominal wall. Additionally, it might greatly but not entirely reduce the stretch marks on your lower stomach. It is widely acknowledged that large central areas and weak muscles alter the shape of the body at any age, especially after pregnancy and significant weight loss. Most patients claimed that after using this tactic, they felt more confident.

This procedure will be done by your surgeon, who will also use sutures to straighten your abs after removing the loose stomach skin. Your doctor will examine your abdomen to locate your new navel, the incision sites, and the centre of your stomach. A topical anaesthetic called lidocaine will be administered along with epinephrine, a vasoconstrictor that prevents bleeding by constricting veins.

The crucial stomach fold will be sliced from one hipbone to the next over the pubic hill. Your navel is sliced once more during a complete abdominoplasty. Your surgeon will choose for a more restricted cut in a belly fold that is smaller than average.

To seal the access locations, your expert will use tissue sticks, stitches, staples, or Steri-Strips.

The surgeon would often implant at least one channel during a complete abdominoplasty to prevent liquid accumulation that might strain the cut. The channel is an oval-shaped, sturdy plastic cylinder that enters the body through a very small hole just below the original incision.  

BOTOX® IS A POPULAR COSMETIC TREATMENT USED TO REDUCE THE APPEARANCE OF FACIAL FINE LINES AND WRINKLES TO RESTORE YOUR SKIN BACK TO A YOUTHFUL STATE

Cosmetic Clinic Dubai | 22 August 2023

You probably already know that Botox can be used to correct faults, but it also has uses besides aesthetic improvement and can be used to treat a number of disorders.

You may be surprised to learn that the popular Botox therapy has advantageous side effects that help address mental health conditions like depression. Botox injections block the chemical signals from the nerves that cause muscles to contract. Botox, a potent, practical protein with a solid safety record, lacks botulinum toxin A, eliminating the possibility of food contamination with botulism.

Despite its origins as a medical treatment, Botox is nevertheless used to treat a broad variety of problems today. Botox can be used as a muscle relaxant to treat a variety of conditions, perhaps reducing the need for medications. Botox is an approved medical procedure for:

Additionally, Botox may alleviate neurological conditions like cerebral paralysis, which can cause appendages to pull inward. Treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) abnormalities-related jaw illnesses is another therapeutic use of Botox.

Each and every one of us is negatively affected by time, and sometimes the indicators of ageing are there in front of us. After some time, little kinks and changes brought on by facial movements like smiling, frowning, squinting, and eating may start to show.  

In situations like this, Botox provides a temporary solution that may be repeated as needed. Botox can also be used to lessen neck groups, which are vertical wrinkles caused by hanging muscles. An increasingly common least invasive alternative to plastic surgery is botox cosmetic treatment.

The most popular nonsurgical correction technique, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), is botulinum toxin injections. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), there were nearly a 200% rise in nonsurgical, approved medications between 2000 and 2017. Around 7,000,000 botulinum toxin type A prescriptions were written in the United States in 2017, an increase of 2% over the previous year.  

THE AIM OF LIP LIFT SURGERY IS TO BRING THE UPPER LIP CLOSER TO THE NOSE AND MAKE IT LOOK FULLER, ATTRACTIVE AND VOLUMINOUS

Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 12 August 2023

A lip lift may be the solution if you wish to alter some aspect of your appearance. Lip lifts are frequently used to make the lips bigger and smooth out creases. This technique can also help with droopy skin around the mouth brought on by genetics, ageing, and sun exposure. With a lip lift, the skin above the lips can be lifted to improve its sagging and drooping appearance. When the lips and teeth are present while consuming food and liquids, it can be extremely unpleasant. 

The treatment may be finished in as little as an hour while receiving local anaesthesia, and recovery time is minimal. Unfortunately, many people don’t even know that this technique exists, and even if they did, they might refer to it as lip augmentation. 

The top lip frequently begins to wrinkle, sag, and droop over time due to exposure to smoking and other environmental factors. A reduction in the thickness of the inner mouth lining also results in a loss of definition. Another cause of drooping lips and skin is overuse of sunscreen. If you spend too much time in the sun without wearing sunscreen, your lips will typically deteriorate before your face does since they are continually exposed to UV radiation that is bad for your skin.

Most frequently, the result is a wider, more realistic grin with “younger-looking lips,” according to many patients.  

CHEEK LIPOSUCTION REMOVES FAT CELLS FROM YOUR CHEEKS, LEADING TO A MORE DEFINED PROFILE OR JAWLINE

Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 6 August 2023

Buccal fat can be surgically removed to reduce cheek size and change the facial appearance. Deep within the cheek fat is where you’ll find the buccal pad. It is situated below the cheekbone, in between two facial muscles. 

The form of the face is influenced by the size of this fat pad. Despite being present in everyone, they come in a wide range of sizes. The size of this pad can be decreased surgically. It will give a more angular facial contour by reducing cheek fat or roundness.

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.

ELIMINATE EXCESS SKIN FOR A FLATTER, FIRMER APPEARANCE IN THE ABDOMINAL REGION

Abdominoplasty Dubai | 1 August 2023

After giving birth or losing weight, extra skin and fat can mutilate the midsection. Particularly after having a second child or twins, which may result in a repeated stretch in the midsection, many women find that their muscles and skin don’t return to their original appearance. Abdominal surgery, also referred to as “stomach fold” surgery, lowers the size of the waist by removing extra skin and fat and strengthening the abs. You have a good possibility of developing a belly fold if your weight remains stable, your health is good, you don’t smoke, and you have realistic expectations.

The stomach wall is made of skin, fat, and muscle. There is the rectus sash, a substantial band that covers the rectus abdominis muscles, which are the “six pack” of abdominal muscles. This fascial layer is commonly weakened and loosened by pregnancy and weight increase. As a result, a patient’s stomach wall may become loose after becoming in shape or having kids. During the procedure, the fascial layer that covers the rectus abdominis muscles is restored while the extra skin and fat are removed.

An even cut is made inside the lower stomach’s two-piece line during the abdominoplasty procedure. The incision may be done in the same location and extended to the sides for patients who have previously had a C-segment. The excess skin and fat are controlled and redraped while the rectus abdominis muscles of the stomach are tightened. The umbilicus, or navel, must typically be moved during an abdominal surgical procedure by making a second incision. The “small scale” abdominoplasty method does not move the navel but fixes the lower abdominal muscles while eliminating fat and skin using a constrained flat swimsuit cut.

Sometimes liposuction and stomach surgery are combined to contour the flanks. Only a tiny number of patients choose to have their breasts elevated, given more volume, or both after surgery. A “mom makeover” surgery is when a breast lift is combined with a procedure to remove excess skin from the tummy.

The fillers are used in a variety of circumstances, including: (Salivary fold) Run-off from the nose to the mouth crease Lip lines for definition and volume above the upper lip The cheeks will swell out, giving the backs of the hands more volume.

CREATE BEAUTIFUL, BALANCED LIP STRUCTURE WITH AN UPPER LIP LIFT

Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 21 July 2023

If you want to change something about the way you appear, a lip lift can be the answer. Lip lifts often increase the size of the lips and remove wrinkles. The drooping skin around the mouth caused by genetics, ageing, and sun exposure can also be improved with this method.

BUCCAL FAT REMOVAL IS A SURGICAL PROCEDURE DESIGNED TO CREATE A SLIMMER AND MORE CONTOURED FACE BY REMOVING FAT FROM THE INNER CHEEKS

Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 20 July 2023

 By surgically eliminating buccal fat, the cheek size can be decreased and the facial profile can be modified. 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 how the face is shaped. Although they are present in everyone, their sizes vary greatly. This pad’s size can be reduced by surgery. By minimising cheek fat or roundness, it will provide a more angular facial shape.

If you have dense buccal fat pads, your face will seem bigger or rounder.

ABDOMINOPLASTY IS AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR LOCALISED FAT, FULLNESS, AND SKIN OVERHANGING THE PUBIC AREA

Abdominoplasty Dubai | 18 July 2023

Excess skin and fat can mutilate the midriff after delivery or weight loss. Many women discover that their muscles and skin don’t recover to their previous appearance, especially after having a second child or twins, which may cause a repeated stretch in the middle. By eliminating superfluous skin and fat and strengthening the abs, abdominal surgery, often known as “stomach fold” surgery, reduces the size of the waist. If your weight is constant, your health is good, you don’t smoke, and you have reasonable expectations, you have a decent chance of growing a belly fold.

The stomach wall is made of skin, fat, and muscle. There is the rectus sash, a substantial band that covers the rectus abdominis muscles, which are the “six pack” of abdominal muscles. This fascial layer is commonly weakened and loosened by pregnancy and weight increase. As a result, a patient’s stomach wall may become loose after becoming in shape or having kids.

GYNECOMASTIA SKIN REMOVAL – PROVEN GYNECOMASTIA RESULTS

Plastic Surgery Dubai | 12 July 2023

Some men may believe that they have one or both of excessively huge breasts. This condition, known as gynecomastia, can be brought on by a hormonal imbalance or being extremely overweight, which can raise oestrogen levels and cause breast tissue to grow. Males with this problem have the option of undergoing breast reduction surgery. It can also be used to the breast area to tighten the skin after a significant weight reduction that has caused the area’s skin to sag. For overweight guys with enormous breasts that are just extra fat, it is not the best option.

Gynecomastia, or the benign (non-cancerous) growth of male breast tissue, can be caused by a variety of reasons. Your medication or a hormonal imbalance may be to blame. A contributing factor might be recreational drug usage or alcoholism. I’ll discuss the cause of your gynecomastia with you. In addition to expanding the breast and nipple, gynecomastia can also be uncomfortable and make the nipple sensitive.

Some cases of gynecomastia will get better on their own without any kind of medical help. If it is thought that one of your prescription medications is what caused your gynecomastia, it may go away with the substitution or cessation of that medication. Gynaecomastia can be uncomfortable and unsightly, but it is not dangerous and won’t hurt you if you have it. Once cancer has been ruled out, many men are comfortable with no treatment. Another type of therapy is the administration of drugs. Although they might not cause the breasts to shrink, these medications typically effectively reduce discomfort and sensitivity. Breast surgery is the third available treatment option.

Liposuction

Gynecomastia instances may resolve on their own, without the need for medical intervention. If one of your prescription drugs is suspected of being the culprit behind your gynecomastia, it can go away if you switch to another one or stop using that drug. Gynaecomastia is not harmful and won’t harm you if you have it, yet it can be painful and ugly. Many men are content with no treatment once cancer has been ruled out. The use of medication is another form of treatment. Even though they could not diminish the breasts, these drugs normally work well to lessen discomfort and sensitivity. The third viable therapy is breast surgery.

Removal of gynecomastia

I’ll cut around the nipple to remove the breast tissue during excisional surgery. This might be done concurrently with breast tissue liposuction.

Male breast reduction

It could be necessary to remove additional skin and tissue if the breast is particularly big. It will result in additional scars. The amount of skin that must be removed will determine the extent of scarring. 

The dressings can be removed after 7 to 10 days, and you should be able to return to work after one week. For the first three weeks after the surgery, refrain from heavy lifting and vigorous physical activity. In two to three weeks, the majority of males resume their usual schedules. Your visit to the clinic will be scheduled for 7–10 days from then so that the dressings and drain(s) may be removed and the wounds can be checked. You will also be evaluated after your procedure, once the swelling and bruising have completely gone down.
