This cosmetic eye surgery deals with the contours of the upper eyelid space. This procedure concerns the removal of excess skin and muscle. The goal is to create a more youthful appearance by reducing sagging skin, lifting the area and reducing hooded lids. 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.

The goal of the natural-looking Botox technique is to soften and smoothen fine lines, not erase every trace of a wrinkle or muscle movement. Botox is one of the most commonly used anti-aging products in the world today. It’s used to combat fine lines and wrinkles, plump-up lips, and more. It even has uses in the treatment of migraines and other health conditions. However, if you’re thinking about a Botox treatment, there are things you’ll need to know.

Mia® FemTech is a minimally invasive invasive, natural-looking breast enhancement option for women who have never had breast augmentation surgery. It leaves no scars on the breast and doesn’t require 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 considered breast enhancement but were deterred by the scarring and downtime associated with traditional breast augmentation.

Are you a new mom? Achieved significant weight loss? Or simply ageing? One of the main causes of loose skin is the deterioration of collagen-rich tissue, which also leads to a decrease in the flexibility of the skin. In actuality, following liposuction, a lot of patients have undesired loose skin. Although liposuction works well to eliminate fat that won’t go away, it can’t treat loose skin that frequently happens with ageing or weight reduction. Sometimes the decrease in fat mass might make skin laxity worse. That is the function of Renuvion®.

The size of a woman’s breasts, one of her most distinguishing physical characteristics, can have an impact on her physically and psychologically. If one’s breasts are lovely and proportionate, one can project confidence in social and professional contexts. Choosing how much larger you want to go for a breast augmentation or repair is a really tough decision. The size of your new breasts will define their appearance and degree of proportion with the rest of your body.

Profhilo improves overall skin texture and boosts hydration, giving your skin that radiant glow. While Sunkeos tightens the skin and improves fine lines and wrinkles.

Mia FemTech™ offers a discreet and natural solution to enhance your body’s harmony, sculpting your breasts in just 15 minutes through innovative minimally invasive technology. With no need for general anesthesia, you can resume your busy life on the very same day.

Renuva is ideal for restoring lost volume and smoothing irregularities in various areas of the body. If you seek natural-looking results without surgery and minimal downtime, Renuva may be the perfect solution for you.

Renuva works by utilizing processed adipose tissue, which is extracted from your own body fat, to restore lost volume and contour irregularities. This processed tissue is injected into targeted areas, where it integrates with existing fat cells, providing long-lasting results.

For many years, breast augmentation has been one of the most common cosmetic surgery treatments performed worldwide. Plastic surgeons have made significant advancements in their ability to raise and shape the breasts, in addition to the fact that it is now more well recognised and reasonably accessible.

Patients should always do their research to see whether or not they are a good candidate for breast augmentation surgery, even though the decision to have breast implants is very personal and can be very rewarding.

As the first – and original – injectable collagen stimulator containing microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), Sculptra helps restore facial skin structure, which may provide long-lasting skin improvement

Sculptra is a gel-like substance made of poly-L-lactic acid. A healthcare provider will inject this filler underneath your skin where you want a fuller or smoother appearance. Poly-L-lactic acid is a collagen stimulator that absorbs into your body a few days after treatment to encourage your cells to produce more collagen. Collagen is a protein in your skin – as well as in your connective tissues, bones and cartilage – that provides structure, support and strength.

Mia Femtech™ is the first ever injectable, biocompatible  implants for 1 to 2 cups up, designed for a true natural look & feel.

The purpose of a breast augmentation is to enlarge or improve the breast. To bring the breasts back into the “normal” position, a breast lift is done. The breasts can be lifted and made larger by performing one or more of the procedures separately or in combination. 

A breast augmentation would be the ideal option if the breast is in a normal position, with the majority of the breast tissue above the base/inframammary crease and the nipple not below the base. A breast lift is the best choice, though, if there is a lot of laxity in the breast skin and the nipple rests low on the breast.

Numerous ladies in their 40s and 50s have successfully undergone breast augmentation surgery. A woman in her 30s with two children who has been considering this surgery for a long time is the most common patient for this procedure. Dr. Vigo urges you to set up a consultation to determine the best course for achieving your cosmetic objectives, regardless of where you are in life.

It goes without saying that women’s bodies are skin roadmaps under constant change. As time passes, we experience multiple transformations, and our breasts don’t look and feel the same as when we were younger. The loss in breast volume or changes caused by breastfeeding are some typical examples. Similarly, some of us believe that our breasts are not well developed, and we want a quick and subtle change according to our busy lifestyle. It may be 1 or 2 cup sizes up so we can get rid of those push-up or padded bras.

No matter which transformation you’re experiencing, the starting point is to reflect on the way you feel. Do we feel guilty for not liking our breasts? Do we feel superficial or insecure? Why are we unable to talk about breast health and aesthetics in a normal way? Surely, we shouldn’t feel bad for wanting our breasts to look a certain way or even to be restored. Our bodies are our decision, and we should speak freely about our breast issues. Why? Quite simply because we’re free women, but mainly because we’re human beings.

NECK & CHEST

Renuva helps smooth and tighten neck skin. The treatment also replaces age-related fat loss on the décolletage, erasing vertical lines and smoothing the skin.

HANDS

Renuva replenishes age-related fat loss in the hands, reducing the appearance of veins, bones and loose skin.

BODY

Renuva can be used anywhere fat naturally exists in the body to volumize hip-dips, erase cellulite dimples, smooth liposuction irregularities,  flatten depressed scars, and more. 

CONTOURING

Renuva is ideal for contouring body areas that don’t respond to exercise – like small contour deficiencies in the buttocks and indentations on the sides of the body, called hip dips.

BREAST

Renuva can be used to camouflage breast implant irregularities, like rippling, squaring off, or indentations without the need for liposuction or surgery.

Renuvion® (sometimes known as J-Plasma®) is a medical procedure that combines helium plasma and radiofrequency (RF) energy, to stimulate tissue shrinking, tightening and contraction by carefully heating connective tissues directly beneath the skin. The helium plasma and RF energy are emitted simultaneously through a slender hand-held wand to

provide an even application. The technique provides a dramatic yet gentle effect on tissue. The areas most commonly treated by Renuvion® are the chin, neck, arms, breasts, chest, abdomen, inner thighs, lower thighs and knees.

Close to 70% of men and 40% of women face androgenetic alopecia, a hair loss issue, at one point in their lives. Rigenera therapy is an innovative treatment procedure that regenerates hair, stimulates hair growth, and creates stronger hair by using the patient’s own stem cells.

For the treatment of early-stage balding, Dr. Vigo uses the Rigenera therapy, a procedure developed specifically for the treatment of androgenic alopecia, which mainly affects men. Baldness among men usually begins in the two front-side “triangles” and follows a characteristic pattern. The therapy can be used alone, or as a complementary therapy for hair transplantation. Rigenera is a cutting edge and one of a kind technology that can provide a quick and effective method of regenerating bio-tissues.  Its purpose is to stimulate the  growth of hair, thicken hair, reduce hair loss and boost the regenerative process.

This treatment is used primarily in people in the earlier stages of balding (male pattern hair loss and female pattern hair loss). 

The concept is similar to PRP except that that growth factors are from the scalp rather than the blood, so they are more specific.  It is a good option to consider if PRP has not worked.

Skin boosters are non-invasive treatments that hydrate, smooth, and enhance the skin’s overall texture and elasticity for a more youthful and radiant appearance. Here are Dr. Vigo’s top 5 skin booster treatments:

You may have heard of anti-wrinkle treatments, such as Botox, in movies, on television and in the news. Botulinum Toxin has been around for decades and continues to be one of the more popular ways to tackle the signs of ageing. Due to its excellent anti-wrinkle properties, Botulinum Toxin is exceptional at reducing the visible appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Even wrinkles that have developed over time can be addressed quite simply with a few injectable treatments using this solution.

Breast augmentation using breast implants is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the UAE. And it’s no wonder why. Breast implants have numerous physical and mental benefits for women, making them well worth the investment of time and money.

If you are considering breast implants, you should know about these  top benefits: After having breast implant surgery, the majority of women say they feel more confident in themselves. Nine out of ten women who underwent the operation said they felt more confident about themselves in a poll. Enhanced self-worth can yield more substantial and enduring advantages. You could be prepared to ask someone out or go for that promotion when your self-esteem is better. Your connections and relationships may feel better as a result. You may enjoy your life as well, once you truly love yourself.

For those who would want their upper lip to have more height, definition, and volume, lip lift surgery is a very effective option.

A surgical technique called an upper lip lift aims to raise the top lip by shortening the space between the nose and the lip. This surgical procedure addresses an enlarged philtrum, the vertical groove that runs between the nose and the top lip, and offers a permanent treatment for people who have a thin upper lip as a result of heredity or ageing naturally. Moreover, a sagging upper lip—a frequent side effect of natural aging – can be properly treated with lip lift surgery.

It’s normal for women’s breasts to sag and lose their initial suppleness as they age. Breast drooping, or ptosis, is one of the most frequent diseases addressed by cosmetic surgeons, but it may cause concern in many women.  

This procedure addresses sagging breasts without changing their size. Your breasts will be lifted and reshaped by your surgeon to give them a firmer, younger appearance, and any loose skin will be removed.

Making the decision to receive breast implants is a big one, and you might be concerned about how your life will alter following the operation. The surgery can most obviously increase the size of your breasts, but it can also increase the number of clothes you can wear and make certain types of apparel more comfortable.

Although many women get breast augmentation surgery to improve their physical appearance, there are also many emotional and psychological advantages to the process. For instance, breast augmentation may enhance your body image in addition to the obvious benefits of physical modifications. You may arrange a consultation with Dr Vigo to talk about the process, your candidature, and how your life could change afterward with a qualified cosmetic surgeon for additional information about breast augmentation and its outcomes.

You’re interested in breast augmentation with implants but don’t know the difference between round or teardrop, smooth or textured, or silicone or saline implants. Dr. Vigo can assist you.

It takes a lot of study and understanding to begin your artistic journey. You must consider which process will yield the desired result in addition to reducing the number of potential providers. Consider breast augmentation, or augmentation mammaplasty. Breast implants, fat transfer, and a mix of the two are the three main forms of breast augmentation.

Arm reduction and lift (Brachioplasty) is a form of body contouring (shaping). It is normally performed on patients with large amounts of loose or sagging skin on the upper arms. Liposuction may also be performed during this procedure. An arm lift is not a substitute for weight loss. The best candidates for brachioplasty are those who are within several pounds of their ideal weight. Ideal candidates also have enough loose skin and elasticity to allow a good outcome. Do you notice any swaying of the skin between your elbow and your armpit? Do your upper arms have large amounts of loose skin that cause your sleeves to tug and sag? As we become older, it can become more common, but it doesn’t have to be your experience. It is frustrating because after spending hours at the gym, you can’t seem to tone this area. Building muscle won’t help skin that has lost its suppleness, and it might even make your arms look bigger and more prominent.

Botox is one of the most commonly used anti-aging products in the world today. It’s used to combat fine lines and wrinkles, plump-up lips, and more. It even has uses in the treatment of migraines and other health conditions. However, if you’re thinking about a Botox treatment, there are things you’ll need to know. Botox is a patented product made from bacteria (Clostridium botulinum). It is technically a diluted neurotoxin, and it does one thing – it relaxes the muscles under your skin by blocking nerve signals. Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles. This prevents them from moving, which, in turn, prevents wrinkles from appearing. Note that Botox does not remove wrinkles – it prevents muscles from contracting and creating wrinkles in the process. Simply put, it prevents you from making the facial expressions that form the wrinkles that come with them.

Body lift surgery is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs. 

This treatment is popular for individuals who have undergone significant weight loss or have been affected by aging, genetics, or pregnancy.

A body lift is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess tissue after significant weight loss. The procedure offers numerous benefits to those that have lost weight quickly due to bariatric surgery or their own dieting efforts. If you have reached the target number on the scale but do not see the results you were hoping for when you look in the mirror, body contouring surgery may be the right choice for you. 

A facelift (rhytidectomy) cannot stop the ageing process. What it can do is turn back the clock and restore former beauty. It can remove the most visible signs of ageing by trimming or repositioning excess fat, tightening the underlying muscles, and re-draping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as blepharoplasty, (eyelid tuck), and neck lift.

As part of the aging process which happens to all of us sooner or later our skin progressively loses its elasticity and our muscles tend to slacken. The stresses of daily life, effects of gravity and exposure to sun can be seen on our faces. The folds and smile lines deepen, the corners of the mouth droop, the jaw line sags and the skin of the neck becomes slack. 

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.

Women thinking about having this procedure usually ask this question. Numerous studies have demonstrated that women who get implants do not have an elevated risk of developing breast cancer. Additionally, breast cancer identification is not delayed by implants. Numerous research and data from the National Cancer Institute demonstrate that having breast implants does not prevent a patient or their doctor from detecting breast tumours. Finally, women with breast implants had the same likelihood of achieving remission, or remaining cancer-free for 5 years, as those without implants if they get breast cancer.

Breast implants can be medically removed if you already have them and decide you no longer want them, whether it’s for aesthetic or medical reasons.

It’s possible that you desire to get your breast implants updated or that you have been told to do so because they typically last up to 15 years. Some people make the decision to have bigger or smaller breasts. Rarely, some women experience issues from their initial implants, necessitating their replacement.

Through incisions beneath the breasts or around the nipple, the implants – which lie either directly under the breast tissue or behind the muscle – will be taken out. Following the implant removal and/or replacement, further treatment, such as a breast elevation, may be necessary depending on the specific type of surgery you underwent. This is due to the fact that as you age, your breasts might lose their shape, and the uplift operation is frequently done in conjunction with breast enlargement.

Like the women who have them, breasts vary in a variety of sizes and forms. Putting body positivity aside, it’s not always simple to embrace your inherent beauty. There’s probably at least one part of a woman’s chest that she dislikes, whether it’s feeling anxious about the form of her breasts, disliking how clothing fit, or breasts getting in the way of daily activities. It can be challenging to choose the proper operation to do in a given circumstance, particularly for those who are unfamiliar with the concept of cosmetic surgery.

In the guide to Breast Surgery Options we cover:

– Breast Augmentation

– Breast Lifting

– Breast Reduction

– Breast Implant Removal

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.

Women with large breasts can often struggle with discomfort, uncomfortable clothing, and even neck and back problems. Breast reduction surgery seeks to make your bust more sculpted and uplifted while reducing the size of your breasts. A breast reduction treatment can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life by easing pain and enhancing self-confidence. Breast reduction surgery is a possibility if the size of your breasts worries you.

Breast reduction surgery includes removing extra breast tissue, fat, and skin from the breasts, resulting in breasts that are more in proportion to the rest of your body. Your breast reduction will be customised for you by one of our top breast surgeons once they have heard your worries.

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.

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. 

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.

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  fat grafting or “flap” reconstruction)

– using your own tissue and an implant 

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.

A form of fat transfer operation called the Brazilian Butt Lift produces youthful looking, prominent buttocks and a more seductive body profile. 

A Brazilian Butt Lift lifts, contours and enhances your curves — not only your butt but also your waist, hips and thighs for a more feminine, hourglass figure. A Brazilian Butt Lift is a very long-lasting procedure. On average, expect about 50% of the injected fat to stay in the area and about 50% to be reabsorbed by the body.

A Brazilian Butt Lift can be individually customized to achieve the buttocks size and shape you desire. A great advantage of this is that unlike implants, Brazilian Butt Lift outcomes are not limited to the sizes and shapes of implants that are available.

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.

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.

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes hanging excess skin and endows the arm with a smooth, lithe contour. Many men and women experience sagging upper arms due to weight fluctuations, the natural ageing process, or genetics.

Do you notice any swaying of the skin between your elbow and your armpit? Do your upper arms have large amounts of loose skin that cause your sleeves to tug and sag? 

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.

Typically, a facelift treatment lasts between one and three hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. Sometimes, more involved and involved procedures take longer. A facelift technique seeks to restore a more youthful and refreshed facial appearance by reviving the facial area’s appearance. The technique entails removing extra skin from the area around the ears and tightening the platysma, the muscle that lies beneath the covering skin. This lifting procedure is frequently combined by Dr. Vigo with volumizing procedures such fat grafting to the chin, jawline, lips, cheeks, and temples. 

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…

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.

The labia minora, or inner vaginal lips, are surgically reshaped and increased in size during a surgery called a labiaplasty. A labiaplasty eliminates extra tissue that has developed as a result of heredity, childbirth, stretching, or rapid weight loss. If your labia minora droops, is extended, or gives you pain or discomfort, you might want to think about having labiaplasty. 

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

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

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.

If you are struggling with chubby cheeks that don’t seem to budge nor matter what you do, buccal fat pad reduction is the treatment for you. By removing this fat pocket we can give you a sharper and more elegant look.

Buccal fat removal is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that targets the Buccal Fat Pad. This is an area found deep in the cheeks on both sides of the face. Upon removal of the buccal fat, the face looks leaner and more contoured leading to a more defined lower face.

Following a buccal fat removal, you will have a sharper and more contoured appearance. Traditional facial liposuction cannot give the same results since this area cannot be treated with liposuction. Patients who suffer from resistant facial fat that doesn’t shift with diet and exercise are the ones that benefit the most from buccal fat removal.

Did you know that the skin on your buttocks changes with age? It can loosen and sag. You may also find that the same thing happens after significant weight loss.

Exercise can certainly help strengthen and tone the muscles in the hip area, but it cannot repair excess skin that has lost its elasticity. This not only affects your body awareness, but also the clothes you wear. the hip lift is designed to create a smoother, more contoured hip shape.

If you’re looking for ways to improve the shape of your butt, you’ll find that there are three main options for butt enlargement: Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), butt implants, and butt injections. In order to decide which option is best for you, it’s important to understand the pros and cons of each program.

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.

A ‘ Mummy Makeover’ is a term used to include a mix of systems that a patient might go through post pregnancy to reestablish and restore the body. The female body goes through many changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding and for certain ladies, these progressions can prompt low confidence and  increased anxiety.

Following some serious time pregnancy and breastfeeding, you might be longing for reestablishing your body to the shape it had before you chosen to have kids. Fortunately, current restorative careful strategies have made it workable for us to further develop normal pain points and assist ladies with turning out to be more certain about their appearance after parenthood.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is corrective medical procedure to eliminate abundance skin or fat from the eyelids. The point is to work on hooded or hanging eyelids or eye packs. Before you go on, make certain about your explanations behind needing eyelid medical procedure. Remember the expense, the dangers, and the reality the outcomes can’t be ensured.

Blepharoplasty is a profoundly particular eyelid medical procedure that rectifies hanging, loose, or hanging lower or upper covers for a more open, welcoming, energetic look. Some go through blepharoplasty only for corrective reasons, while others select this plastic medical procedure to work on their vision.

Most of us hope to remain youthful-looking forever, but that’s not easy to do even for famous supermodels and actresses. General aging and the effects of sun exposure take their toll on our faces and bodies. Wrinkles, sagging and loss of collagen all make their appearance sooner or later. 

While surgery can be an excellent option, many of us would prefer to put it off for as long as we can but still maintain a natural look that doesn’t seem overdone. Dermal fillers have the power to restore our youthful facial contours and add amazing lift and volume.

Dermal fillers are a gel-like substance that’s injected under the skin. They enhance the contours of your face by restoring lost volume, filling out wrinkles, and smoothing the skin.

A nonsurgical rhinoplasty is actually a dermal filler procedure that changes the shape of your nose for up to 6 months. This procedure is ideal for people who are looking to smooth out bumps in their nose or make it look less angular but who aren’t ready for a permanent solution, or are worried about the risks and recovery time involved in a traditional rhinoplasty. Going under the needle is certainly less complicated than going under the knife for a nose job, but modifying the nose’s shape is never risk-free. 

There are several factors that cause your jawline and neck to drop or wrinkle. As you age, your skin loses collagen and elastin – two proteins that are responsible for how taught, firm and supple your skin is. Not only is the skin on your neck thinner, it’s also a highly mobile body part that continually bends and twists with the motion of our head. This makes it far more susceptible to wrinkles over time!

Genetics have a part to play in how the skin on your neck and jaw develop as you age. This is why it’s important to take action early if you suspect you’re genetically prone to looser skin in this area. Daily activities are also a contributing factor, the most common being looking down at a smartphone or laptop screen (it’s called ‘tech neck’!).

If you’ve become increasingly unhappy about the sagging of your breasts, you may wonder what mastopexy surgery can do. Don’t be surprised if Dr. Vigo suggests combining breast augmentation or breast reduction with your lift; adjunct procedures may be necessary to achieve your goals.

Your eyes are so much more than the window to your soul. They are the focal point of your face. They communicate emotion and foster a human-to-human connection. They reveal how you are feeling – stressed, tired, overjoyed, surprised – and, in many cases, they age you. Excess skin on the lower lids, for example, can make an individual look more tired and older than they are. Blepharoplasty is a highly specialized eyelid surgery that corrects sagging, baggy, or drooping lower or upper lids for a more open, inviting, youthful look. Some undergo blepharoplasty purely for cosmetic reasons, while others opt for this plastic surgery to improve their vision.

Many women with large breasts report feeling physically uncomfortable. They can restrict your ability to run or play sport and can even effect how you feel. If you are concerned about the size of your breasts reduction surgery is an option. Breast reduction surgery aims to reduce the size of your breasts while creating a more shapely, uplifted bust. This is achieved by removing excess fat, breast tissue and skin from the breasts. Very large and heavy breasts may cause considerable physical and/or psychological distress. The size and shape of your breasts can be changed to give you the look you want.

The non-surgical nose job became a popular treatment for different age groups because it is an excellent choice for those who don’t want to have surgery. Major advantages of Nose Reshaping Fillers are that you can return to work the next day and resume your daily routine. No more hospital stay, leave of absence or long recovery period.

Let Dr. Matteo Vigo help you to be happy with what you see in the mirror by having a super effective, walk-in walk-out procedure, with no complications and scalpels.

Tear trough filler treatment, also referred to as under-eye filler or dermal filler, is a popular cosmetic solution for tackling tired looking eyes. It is a non-surgical procedure that involves carefully injecting a gel-like substance into specific areas around the eyes, which works to replace the lost volume brought about through the ageing process. The outcome is smoother, younger-looking, more radiant skin, and a reduction in deep wrinkles and lines.

The treatment can also be used to add volume to other areas of the face, like the lips, brows, cheeks, marionette lines and nasolabial folds, creating a more youthful appearance. Filler can also be placed throughout the face with strategic injections to create a liquid facelift or liquid eye lift, which can be highly effective in selective patients.

You’ve likely already heard of lip injections, sometimes called lip fillers. These procedures give that bee-stung look to the lips. There’s another surgical procedure known as a lip lift that can give you a different kind of pout. Unlike lip fillers, it’s permanent.

Breasts are arguably one of the most defining physical features of a woman, and their size can have both a physiological and psychological impact. A great looking, proportionate pair of breasts can make one radiate self-confidence in both personal and professional environments. A most challenging decision to be considered for a breast reconstruction or augmentation is how much larger you’d like to go. Size will determine not only how your new breasts will look, but also how complementary they will be to the rest of your frame.

The New Year is the perfect time for a “new” you! 

The spirit of rejuvenation is in the air, so why not rejuvenate yourself?

While it is inevitable that we all age, an excellent start to looking after your skin and protect against ageing is medical grade skin care. These products contain active ingredients to counteract the effects of ageing such as dry or rough skin, fine lines or uneven pigmentation and to exfoliate the surface layer of skin and stimulate new collagen. 

Preventing sun damage by protecting your skin from the sun and not smoking also go a long way in keeping wrinkles at bay for as long as possible. Applying vitamin C serum helps get even more protection from your sunscreen. Facial peels are a stronger exfoliative treatment that also improve the texture and tone of your skin and reduce uneven pigmentation and fine lines.

As you age, the skin on your buttock changes; it can start to become loose and sag. You may also find that the same thing happens after significant weight loss. 

Exercise can, of course, help strengthen and improve the toning of your muscles in the buttock area, but it can’t fix excess skin that has lost its elasticity. This can affect not just your body confidence, but also the clothes you choose to wear. Buttock lift surgery aims to create a smoother, more contoured buttock shape.

Excess skin and fat from aging, heredity factors, or after dramatic weight loss in the gluteal area can be drastically improved with a buttock lift. Not to be confused with a “Brazilian butt lift,” which adds volume using fat transfer, this procedure involves only removing skin and fat through surgical excision and liposuction. Every year, thousands of people undergo successful buttock-lift surgery and are pleased with the results. You should consider a buttock lift:

Breast uplift surgery is an operation to re-shape your breasts to change how they look and make them feel firmer.

Like all surgery, this major operation has risks. It’s important to find out about the procedure and choose your surgeon carefully. We hope the information here will help you make the right decision for you.

It’s common for breasts to become less firm after pregnancy and breastfeeding or with gravity over time. Many women feel comfortable with this. But if you want to change how you look, you may consider breast uplift surgery.

Have you ever thought of getting a breast augmentation? Like most women, you have probably thought of changing the shape, increasing the size, or even moving the position of your breast ever so slightly. If you desire new breasts to feel more confident and comfortable in your own body, then breast augmentation may just be the solution that you are looking for.

Breast augmentation, sometimes referred to as a “boob job” by patients,is a surgical procedure in which the surgeon is using breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size of your breasts. This procedure can also restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy, achieve a more rounded breast shape or improve natural breast size asymmetry.

Otoplasty is cosmetic surgery used to correct the form and shape of the ear. This can be required or recommended for patients who have a defective, deformed, or completely missing external ear. Ear issues can be present due to trauma as well as genetics. A surgeon makes corrections by creating a more proportionate, contoured, visually attractive external ear.

Ear correction surgery is cosmetic surgery to alter the size or shape of the ears, or pin them back if they stick out. Generally, ear correction surgery is safe and most people are happy with the results. However there are risks to consider, and it may be expensive. Pinning back the ears is known as an otoplasty or pinnaplasty. It’s usually done on children and young teenagers, although adults can also have it done.

We are all familiar with the concept of breast enlargements, the tabloids and gossip magazines regularly talk about the latest celebrity to ‘go under the knife’ to get a pair of new, improved and ultimately bigger breasts. As a result, breast enlargement has become one of the most popular forms of cosmetic surgery, with patients ranging from the stars on the red carpet to the girl next door.

What isn’t as widely documented, however, is the operation that sits at the other end of the scale, breast reduction. Many women undergo surgery to reduce the size of their breasts, achieving equally life-changing results with similar benefits of increased confidence and self-esteem.

A flat, sleek abdomen is a very common desire, and many people put a lot of effort into achieving it. Although there are some who can achieve it through diet and exercise, there are others for whom these will never be enough. Whether because of pregnancy, a major weight loss, or simply because of genetics, some people will never have a flat belly, even when they’re at a healthy weight and are fit.

The first of its kind, Profhilo® is a revolutionary ‘beneath the skin’ hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, made with the patented NAHYCO® technology. This results in a unique hyaluronic acid injectable gel, which has a prolonged stimulating activity on the dermal cells. When injected into skin, Profhilo stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin.

One of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, Profhilo not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue. The most common areas of treatment include the face and neck and can also be used for the décolletage, hands, arms, knees and abdomen area where it would effectively treat skin laxity. The treatment is suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all ages.

Renuva® is a groundbreaking treatment that, when injected, gradually replaces age-related fat loss with your body’s own fat. Renuva is safe and effective for replacing volume loss in the face, hands and body. Renuva is injected where fat naturally exists, to replace volume where fat loss occurs. It is commonly used to restore volume in the face and hands, as well as areas of the body. The treatment is also helpful for erasing cellulite dimples, smoothing liposuction irregularities, and flattening depressed scars.

Women’s breasts can change with time, losing their firmness and shape. These changes can occur secondary to pregnancy, weight loss, aging, and heredity. A breast lift raises and firms the breasts by reshaping the breast tissue and removing the excess skin. The size of your breasts will not change. You are a good candidate for a breast lift if you are physically healthy; do not smoke; your breasts sag and have lost shape and volume; your nipples rest below the breast crease when unsupported; or you have stretched skin and enlarged areolae.

For years demand from men for anti-wrinkle treatment has increased – by almost 400% in the last 20 years. These days anti wrinkle treatment is a firmly established part of many a mans ‘man-tenance’ programme. A Botox® treatment plan for every client is customised to the individual according to the clients facial anatomy and desired outcome. However, more broadly speaking, there are important differences when working with the male face, that must be integrated into the personalised approach. Inexperienced practitioners often fail to work with these differences, ignoring the rules of the male aesthetic. In treating men and women the same, an unsatisfactory outcome is likely.

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.

DECIDING TO GET A MOMMY MAKEOVER

After the long months of pregnancy and breastfeeding, you may be dreaming of restoring your body to the shape it had before you decided to have children. Luckily, modern cosmetic surgical techniques have made it possible for us to improve common problem areas and help women become more confident in their appearance after motherhood.

Becoming a mother is usually regarded as one of life’s most treasured moments, but there is another side to the story that many women find challenging to deal with: the way their body changes as a result of giving birth.

While it is inevitable that we all age, an excellent start to looking after your skin and protect against ageing is medical grade skin care. These products contain active ingredients to counteract the effects of ageing such as dry or rough skin, fine lines or uneven pigmentation and to exfoliate the surface layer of skin and stimulate new collagen.

Renuva® is a groundbreaking treatment that, when injected, gradually replaces age-related fat loss with your body’s own fat. Renuva is safe and effective for replacing volume loss in the face, hands and body. Renuva® is an adipose allograft matrix composed of collagen, proteins, and growth factors derived from donated and purified fat. Think of it as a scaffolding that triggers your body’s fat production. After it’s injected, your stem cells divide and grow into new fat cells that populate the new collagen matrix that it creates – in other words, the solution gets replaced over time with your own fat.

Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for addressing fine lines and wrinkles across the visage. This treatment is entirely non-surgical and does not require any special aftercare or recovery time. Best of all, it provides subtle, natural-looking results. This makes it perfect for people who are unwilling to commit to the high-risk and dramatic changes that invasive procedures often entail.

Botulinum toxin anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the facial muscles responsible for wrinkles. When used appropriately, botulinum toxin is a great solution for reducing the appearance of wrinkles around the face. In particular, it is highly effective in the lip, forehead and eye areas. I always undertake a detailed medical consultation to assess your general health and requirements. After which, if it is deemed safe and appropriate then I can offer botulinum toxin anti-wrinkle injections as a treatment.

Ever noticed that having a sharp, defined jawline is a sign of health, fitness and youth? At any age, a well-defined jaw helps show off a more youthful you.

If you’ve struggled to get the jawline of your dreams despite diet and exercise, have jowls and loose skin beginning to obscure your jawline or noticed that you may be prone or predisposed to never having a defined jawline despite excellent overall health and fitness, fear not! Thanks to modern plastic surgery, you have some nonsurgical and surgical options available.

Dermal fillers are a gel-like substance that’s injected under the skin. They enhance the contours of your face by restoring lost volume, filling out wrinkles, and smoothing the skin.

More than 1 million men and women rceive this facial treatment annually. It’s a cost-effective method of facial rejuvenation.

To understand why dermal fillers are such a popular cosmetic procedure, I encourage you to consider some of the amazing benefits:

If you feel conscious of your lip size, or would like to have more luscious volume, lip filler injections can provide spectacular results. Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced in the human body, and micro-injections in the lip can enhance volume and hydration.

Fillers are typically used to increase the volume and size of the lips. Collagen or hyaluronic acid-based filler are typical. Collagen works by plumping, while hyaluronic acid works by both plumping but also holding water within the lip for a more natural effect. Lip fillers are not permanent. They last about three months to a year depending on how quickly your body breaks them down. The type I recommend are made of hyaluronic acid — a sugar, found naturally in the body, that adds temporary volume and definition when injected into lips.

If you’re considering breast uplift surgery you can find out all you need to know about the procedure in this guide. Breast uplift (mastoplexy) is a cosmetic operation to remove excess skin from your breasts to improve their shape. The procedure is very similar to breast reduction surgery. However, in a breast lift procedure your breasts are reshaped by tightening the skin, without removing any breast tissue. This means your breasts will remain the same size, but be reshaped so they look firmer and perter. If you would like extra volume or a larger breast, then a breast uplift and breast augmentation using a breast implant can be combined to create your desired look.

Renuvion applies radiofrequency energy and helium plasma causing controlled coagulation and theref contraction of soft tissue below the skin, quickly and gently, as part of a minimally invasive procedure. 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. 

An abdominoplasty, better known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that requires careful planning and meticulous follow-up care for the best results. Knowing the steps to take before your abdominoplasty will ensure a better recovery process. Ideally, you’ll have several months in advance to prepare for your tummy tuck surgery. I recommend most individuals give themselves a full six months to prepare, giving them time to find the right surgeon, achieve or maintain their ideal weight and get a plan for aftercare in place. Some people may not need the full six months of prep before their surgery, and that’s okay. You’ll still want to make sure that you’ve taken sufficient time to research, plan and prepare. The better prepared you are for the big day of surgery, the better your results will be. Use the information below as your guide to planning your tummy tuck.

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure that can give you more uniform body shape and help to get rid of stubborn fat cells. People often get liposuction on their abdomen, buttocks, thighs, chin, neck, upper arms, calves, back, and on the back of the arms for a tight and toned look.

Unwanted fatty deposits are found in areas that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as the face, neck, breast, abdomen, upper arm, hips, thighs, knees, and ankles. Liposuction-liposculpture can be performed on multiple areas at one time – your surgeon will follow accepted guidelines regarding safe volumes which may be removed in one session. While goals include size improvement, this procedure is not for weight loss. Final results may not be evident for 6 months following your procedure. 

Breasts are arguably one of the most defining physical features of a woman, and their size can have both a physiological and psychological impact. A great-looking, proportionate pair of breasts can make one radiate self-confidence in both personal and professional environments.

A most challenging decision to be considered for a breast reconstruction or augmentation is how much larger you’d like to go. Size will determine not only how your new breasts will look, but also how complementary they will be to the rest of your frame.

There’s no escaping from the fact that as our bodies age our skin loses elasticity. Various factors such as over-exposure to the sun, pollution, and lifestyle factors can increase the speed at which a woman’s skin loses it elasticity and bounce. At one time there was very little choice for women who wanted to halt the skin aging process. Nowadays we have many options at our fingertips ranging from anti-aging cream to surgery. I believe there’s a better option that’s quicker than creams and less invasive and final than surgery: dermal fillers.

Dermal fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid which is a sugar molecule that exists naturally in almost all living organisms. Its role is to bind water molecules and act as a lubricant and shock absorber in moveable parts of the body. It is also responsible for transporting nutrients and regulating water balance in the skin. Dermal fillers boost the skin’s supply of hyaluronic acid, revitalising and adding volume to the skin, thus diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Here we’re going to take a look at some of the main benefits of dermal fillers:

Until recently, nose reshaping was a painful surgical procedure that requires an overnight stay in the hospital and long recovery period. Nonsurgical Nose Reshaping, also known as Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty is a safe, non-invasive procedure that uses dermal fillers to alter or reshape your nose, smoothing out any bumps and irregularities. The non-surgical nose job became a popular treatment for different age groups because it is an excellent choice for those who don’t want to have surgery. Major advantages of Nose Reshaping Fillers are that you can return to work the next day and resume your daily routine. No more hospital stay, leave of absence or long recovery period.

Although there is no definitive cause of gynaecomastia, the condition is thought to be the result of hormones circulating in specific cells in the breast area. As such, symptoms of the condition are generally apparent after puberty, although the condition may be visible at birth. An imbalance of the ratio of male and female hormones in the body is also thought to contribute to the development of the condition. While in the majority of cases the cause of gynaecomastia is developmental, in some instances the condition is linked to the use of substances such as anabolic steroids or marijuana. Often, the condition may be genetic or hereditary, or as a result of organ disease. Some men find that one or both breasts may be abnormally large. Known as gynaecomastia, this condition can result from a hormone imbalance or from being very overweight, which can increase levels of oestrogen and cause breast tissue to grow. Breast reduction surgery is an option for men with this condition. It may also be used to tighten the breast area after dramatic weight loss that has caused the skin to sag. However, it is not suitable for men whose large breasts are simply excess fat from being overweight.

Plasma Pen is the newest cosmetic procedure to combat wrinkles, loss of collagen, and sagging skin. As we age, the dermal layer of our skin thins, we produce less collagen, and we lose elasticity. All of these factors produce sagging and wrinkling of the skin. The Plasma Pen is a soft-surgery procedure targeting a wide variety of skin conditions including loss of elasticity, sagging, and wrinkles that have been traditionally treated with fillers or plastic surgery.

In today’s culture, we’re bombarded with images of celebrities who look inexplicably trim just a few months after giving birth. This has led to a heightened demand for the series of procedures called a “mommy makeover.” At the same time, however, the media has spread a number of misconceptions about postpartum plastic surgery.

The mommy makeover is one of today’s most popular combination plastic surgery techniques, designed specifically to address common issues faced by women who have been through pregnancy and breastfeeding. The surgical technique has found its way into mainstream media with it becoming the procedure of choice among Hollywood elite.

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, or is a surgical procedure that aims to increase the size, shape, or fullness of the breast.

Breast augmentation is done to:

– Enlarge breasts that are naturally small – Restore breast size and shape after pregnancy, weight loss or breastfeeding – Restore symmetry when the breasts are asymmetrical – Restore the breast or breasts after surgery

When it comes to Botox and other non-invasive cosmetic procedures, experts in the field believe that less is more. Every procedure has an undesirable consequence, so people need to understand the necessity of less is more, and only have treatments where the positive outweighs that consequence.

If you can tell someone has had work done, it’s been done wrong. The results of a ‘less is more’ approach rest on knowing exactly where to put these minuscule measures of Botox to deliver the desired results.

Wrinkles are part of the ageing process. They can be attributed to sun damage, effects of gravity and muscle contraction resulting from facial expressions such as frowning and laughing. Wrinkles due to the effects of gravity represent natural sagging of tissue with age and are generally only improved by surgical tightening procedures. Wrinkles caused by muscle contraction such as frown lines, forehead lines and crows’ feet, can be improved by Botox treatment.

Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP is obtained from your blood and injected into your tissue wherever tissue regeneration is needed. Over the last decade, autologous PRP has been successfully and extensively used in sports medicine to regenerate tendon injuries, muscle injuries, worn out cartilage in aging joints; in general surgery to promote faster healing of  large surgical scars and in the field of cosmetic and anti-aging medicine for skin rejuvenation and hair regeneration.

The breast is the symbol of femininity. A too small or too big breast, or less toned than in the past, does not enhance the woman body figure . Through my experience I can intervene to give the breast the right shape and the whole body, the look and harmony that every woman desires. Every woman desire is to be comfortable with her body, to feel beautiful and attractive. A beautiful and balanced body definitely depends on the breast, symbol of femininity. When the breasts are not in proportion to the other forms, a woman may feel dissatisfaction in looking in the mirror and insecurity in being with others.

Until recently, nose reshaping was a painful surgical procedure that requires an overnight stay in the hospital and long recovery period. Non-Surgical Nose Reshaping, also known as Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty is a safe, non-invasive procedure that uses dermal fillers to alter or reshape your nose, smoothing out any bumps and irregularities.

The non-surgical nose job became a popular treatment for different age groups because it is an excellent choice for those who don’t want to have surgery. Major advantages of Nose Reshaping Fillers are that you can return to work the next day and resume your daily routine. No more hospital stay, leave of absence or long recovery period.

Fillers are typically used to increase the volume and size of the lips. Collagen or hyaluronic acid-based filler are typical. Collagen works by plumping, while hyaluronic acid works by both plumping but also holding water within the lip for a more natural effect. Let’s start with what they’re not: they are not permanent. They last about three months to a year depending on how quickly your body breaks them down. The type I recommend are made of hyaluronic acid — a sugar, found naturally in the body, that adds temporary volume and definition when injected into lips.

Dermal fillers are one of the most widely used treatments for restoring smoothness and facial volume. Injected by an expert healthcare professional, they fill in space and absorb water to create a smoother, fuller appearance or enhance the contours of the face.

A common complaint of ageing skin is the general loss of volume in the face and less ‘bouncy’ skin. As we age, our supplies of collagen and elastin decline, and the fibres themselves become weaker and less springy. The surrounding fluids that cushion and support these fibres also begin to ‘dry up’ resulting in wrinkles, ridges, and a general loss of volume in the skin. While injecting neurotoxins, such as botulinum toxin, will help smooth out wrinkles caused by muscle movement, only a dermal injectable can address the depressions and loss of volume associated with ageing. This is why dermal fillers are most commonly used to fill nasolabial folds, marionette lines (from the edge of the mouth to the chin), the jawline, cheeks, lips and the under eye area.

As part of the aging process which happens to all of us sooner or later, our skin progressively loses its elasticity and our muscles tend to slacken. The stresses of daily life, effects of gravity and exposure to sun can be seen on our faces. The folds and smile lines deepen, the corners of the mouth droop, the jaw line sags and the skin of the neck becomes slack. Around the eyes, the eyebrows droop and the skin of the eyelids gathers in loose folds. In the skin the first sign is fine wrinkles developing around the lips, at the outer corners of the eye and lines of expression. The rate at which this happens varies from one person to another and is probably determined by our genes. Aging of the skin of the face does not necessarily reflect the rate that the rest of our body and mind is ageing and many people feel frustrated that the face they see in the mirror is not the one they feel should be there. Substantial weight loss can produce similar changes in facial appearance to those of the aging process.

Breast enlargement surgery, also known as breast augmentation or breast enhancement, is one of the most regularly performed procedures and involves the insertion of implants under the breast tissue to increase the size or change the shape of the breasts. Many women choose to have breast augmentation surgery to boost body confidence and to feel comfortable with the size and shape of their breasts. Breast enlargement surgery is an operation to enlarge the breasts, usually using an implant filled with silicone or with physiological saline (a solution containing salt at the same concentration as in the body).Sometimes, the breasts can be enlarged with fat from another part of the body. Patients are usually pleased with the results of breast augmentation, but first it is important to understand what is and isn’t possible, and what care might be needed in the future.

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure used to remove unwanted body fat. It involves sucking out small areas of fat that are hard to lose through exercise and a healthy diet. It’s carried out on areas of the body where deposits of fat tend to collect, such as the buttocks, hips, thighs and tummy. The aim is to alter body shape, and the results are generally long-lasting, providing you maintain a healthy weight. It works best in people who are a normal weight and in areas where the skin is tight.

Aging is an inevitable result of living, and wrinkles are a sign of aging. Collagen in the dermis is made up of fibers of protein that, along with elastin, give strength, support, and resilience to the skin. Collagen production starts to slow down as early as one’s thirties. The strands break up and decrease number. This, along with hyperactive facial muscles, sun damage, and years of tobacco use all contribute to wrinkle formation.

A face-lift (rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic surgical procedure to create a younger appearance in your face. The procedure can reduce the sagging or folds of skin on the cheeks and jawline and other changes in the shape of your face that occur with age. During a face-lift, a flap of skin on each side of the face is pulled back, and tissues below the skin are surgically altered to return the contour of the face to a more youthful shape. Before the flap is sutured closed, excess skin is removed. A neck lift (platysmaplasty) is often done as part of a face-lift to reduce fat deposits and sagging skin on the neck. A face-lift won’t decrease fine creases or wrinkles in your skin or damage from sun exposure. Other cosmetic procedures can address the appearance or quality of the skin itself.

A body lift is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess tissue after significant weight loss. The procedure offers numerous benefits to those that have lost weight quickly due to bariatric surgery or their own dieting efforts. If you have reached the target number on the scale but do not see the results you were hoping for when you look in the mirror, body contouring surgery may be the right choice for you.

These treatments are safe, with minimum side effects and almost no interference with our patients’ daily activities.

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure used to remove excess fat, tissue and skin from the breasts. If you have large breasts, you might choose to have breast reduction surgery to ease discomfort or to achieve a breast size proportionate to your body. Breast reduction surgery might also help improve your self-image and your ability to participate in physical activities. If you’re considering breast reduction surgery, consult an experienced plastic surgeon. It’s important to understand what breast reduction surgery entails – including possible risks and complications – as well as set realistic expectations.

Stem Cell Treatment is an effective treatment for several conditions and has been successfully used to improve skin and hair conditions. I provide the following treatments:  

– Anti ageing

– Scar and acne treatments

– Hair loss

– Natural body shaping

Liposuction involves removing unwanted subcutaneous fat while simultaneously re-contouring to create a more aesthetically appealing body. While not a treatment for obesity, liposuction- liposculpture selectively removes persistent and unwanted subcutaneous fat.

Bothersome fatty deposits are found in areas that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as the face, neck, breast, abdomen, upper arm, hips, thighs, knees, and ankles. Liposuction-liposculpture can be performed on multiple areas at one time – your surgeon will follow accepted guidelines regarding safe volumes which may be removed in one session. While goals include size improvement, this procedure is not for weight loss. Final results may not be evident for 6 months following your procedure. 

During this time your body balances fluids and the skin and remodels underlying tissues. Final results also depend on proper nutrition, exercise and decreasing your caloric intake.

Read my lips: I’m not saying you need lip injections. But if you’d like to try them or are curious about the procedure (and it’s kind of impossible not to be, given the current state of pouty celebrities and volumising lip products), it’s important to fill up on facts before you go plumping anything.

The objective in treating the upper lip is to artistically create a form that harmonizes with the patient’s unique facial features and takes into account the age and ethnic background of the patient. The goal in treating the lower lip is to create bulk and greater prominence and artistic projection of the vermilion. The physician must establish appropriate guidelines and patient expectations for augmentation relative to normal lip proportions in order to avoid a cartoon-like appearance.

Loss of tissue elasticity and tone is a hallmark of aging skin. It is the characteristic change that makes one start to look older than one feels inside. 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 J-Plasma Renuvion for skin tightening or not, there is hardly an area of the body that cannot be treated.

J-Plasma 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 J-Plasma Renuvion procedure will shrink and sculpt loose and lax skin without large incisions, downtime or complications of cosmetic surgery.

Everything from age to the environment can cause wrinkles. What if you had the chance to turn back the clock?  Every time you look in the mirror, it seems that a new line has popped up. You clutch your face and wonder how long you have before your face looks like a sandy desert landscape covered with wrinkles. Fortunately, you can prevent this with the help of dermal fillers. These fillers have become increasingly popular because they can quickly decrease common signs of aging. Whether you’re battling wrinkles and fine lines, sunken areas or even thin lips, fillers can be used to treat them.
