EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MOMMY MAKEOVER

Cosmetic Clinic Dubai |  11 November 2023

Do you know about the Mommy Makeover? The popularity of this combination of surgical treatments is growing daily. Every patient receives a unique Mommy Makeover package designed to return her postpartum physique to its pre-pregnancy form. The stomach tuck is included in several packages.The uterus expands to accommodate the growth of the baby inside the woman’s body. 

Unfortunately, this has the negative consequence of weakening the abdominal wall and separating the abdominal muscles. The skin of the stomach expands, muscle tissue sags and bulges, and extra fatty tissue accumulates in the area.This causes stretch marks in the skin and a “pooch” of flab, giving the abdomen an unnatural appearance. 

To restore the abdominal wall, trim away excess skin, remove stretch marks, and suction out excess fatty tissue, we offer the tummy tuck as an option for your Mommy Makeover package.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE GETTING LIP FILLER

Fillers in Dubai |  9 November 2023

Every person is different. Variations in lip form, metabolism, heredity, risk factors, and aesthetic goals are all included in this. Instead of comparing your lip, architecture, or volume to someone else’s, embrace your uniqueness! It’s what makes us unique.

How long does it take?

– 10 minutes of topical numbing

– 10 minutes of procedure

Is it painful?

– Most clients have minimal discomfort, on a scale of 1-10, they are a 2-3. This is less painful than laser hair-removal, thanks to our unique numbing technique!

How swollen will I be?

– Everyone is different, some people swell up while others do not, swelling depends on multiple factors. Just because you didn’t swell one time, does not mean you will not swell the next time you do a treatment. Sometimes an anti-swelling medication will be given after your injection. I can address this at the time of the visit. Major swelling typically lasts less than 4 days on average, while minor residual swelling can last 14-21 days.

What about bruises?

– Some people are pre-disposed to bruise, avoiding vitamins, alcohol, and ibuprofen type products can decrease the chances of a bruise. Bruising comes in three sizes: Small (like the tip of a needle), medium (like the back of pencil eraser or two pencils erasers), and large (gum-ball sized). Depending on the type of bruise they can last 2-3 days or up to 2 weeks respectively.  Arnika pills can be purchased during your visit that can help heal bruises. From time to time a laser can be used to speed up the process if warranted for specific cases.

How long does it last?

– Typically lip injections last 6 months depending on multiple factors including product used. I’ve seen people that have had fillers lasting as little as 2 months and as much as 1 year.

 

 

PROS AND CONS OF BREAST AUGMENTATION WITH FAT TRANSFER

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 6 November 2023

If you’ve ever heard someone jokingly say they wish they could transfer more fat from their waist to their breasts, we have some great news for you: a procedure known as “fat transfer breast augmentation” may really make that happen.

In this procedure, fat that has been liposuctioned from a specific body area—the thighs, arms, love handles, or back—is injected into the breasts. For those who merely want a slight increase in breast size, this operation is ideal. Using your own natural fat cells, it can help reduce flaws, enhance breast shape, and enlarge your breasts. 

Additionally, individuals who already have implants can increase the size of their breasts even more by having fat transferred into them rather than having an implant replacement treatment. Breast augmentation is always breast augmentation, regardless of whether you label it “augmentation light.” 

It’s important to keep in mind that even though a surgeon may just employ local anaesthetic, fat transfer to the breasts is still a surgical operation. Even though the recovery after fat grafting usually only lasts three to five days and entails little discomfort and swelling, it’s still crucial to follow your surgeon’s instructions for complete healing.

Fat transfer procedures essentially accomplish two goals at once, which accounts for their popularity. In the end, the patient is able to define their shape by contouring and moulding their body by eliminating fat from a region with excess fat. While waiting, the fat can be used once again to augment the breasts in a way that feels and looks very natural. Hearing this idea puts a lot of women at ease. In the end, there is no risk of an allergic response, a rupture, or implant rejection with fat grafting.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT SAGGING BREASTS

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 1 November 2023

There is always some risk involved with surgery. It might be as safe to get a breast augmentation and lift at the same time, though. Augmentation-mastopexy surgery offers some unique benefits in addition to resolving a range of cosmetic issues. The following reconstructive and cosmetic advantages come from combining these breast operations:

– There is less scarring

– There is less removal of skin

– The implant helps fill out the breast and improves its overall appearance so that less lifting is needed

– Combining surgeries is less expensive than having both surgeries separately

– Combining surgeries can reduce overall recovery time

The hazards are the same whether procedures are carried out alone or in tandem, and most patients would rather have only one surgical treatment, if at all feasible. Every operation, after all, comes with a certain amount of inconvenience: Patients need to make plans for time off work, find a caretaker to help them during their first recuperation, and (if they have children) find a creche facility. Doing these activities twice instead of once not only requires more labour, but it usually costs more money.

THE MINI TUCK REMOVES EXCESS FAT AND SKIN THAT HAS FORMED IN THE ABDOMINAL AREA OF THE BODY

TUMMY TUCK DUBAI | 01 NOVEMBER 2023

On the off chance that there is a lot of excess skin around here, a large portion of our patients will consider a tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty) procedure. This may significantly affect your confidence, particularly if you’re wearing certain clothing and experiencing back pain due to the added weight of the skin. With so much information at your fingertips, the pressing question at hand is whether you would benefit more from a larger or smaller-than-normal stomach fold in terms of a treatment.

A full stomach fold would be considered for the individuals who have lost a lot of weight or from pregnancy where there is a great deal of overabundance skin that hasn’t returned.

A scaled down stomach fold would be considered for on the off chance that you are of a more solid weight, however have a modest quantity of overabundance skin that won’t move through work out.

In the event that you are as yet not certain which type is the most ideal for you there are two basic tests that you can do in the solace of your own home; The Pinch Test and the DRAM test.

The Pinch test

By standing upright, squeeze the skin simply over your gut button, and pull it down towards your pubic bone region, above where a cesarean scar would sit. In the event that your skin extends down to this area, you could be qualified for stomach fold a medical procedure, on the off chance that it doesn’t, then, at that point, a smaller than normal stomach fold would be more reasonable.

The DRAM test

Your muscles in the stomach, known as the rectus-abdominis or ‘6 pack’ muscles, begin life near one another. These muscles can begin to part separated during pregnancy to clear a path for the development of the child, and can likewise part separated via doing center stomach practices erroneously, bringing about them never meeting up. This can provide you with a little wave of free skin from where the muscles have isolated. Exercise can not help right now, and medical procedure is a decent choice.

To check whether your rectiys-abdominis muscles have parted, lie level on your pack and lift your legs very high. This will draw in your stomach muscles. By setting your hands onto your stomach, you will actually want to feel and check whether there is a hole on one or the other side of your gut button. On the off chance that you can feel a hole on one or the other side, your muscles will have parted.

This can be amended through one or the other full or scaled down stomach fold a medical procedure, contingent upon the amount of overabundance skin you possess from the squeeze test.

BOTOX FOR HORIZONTAL FOREHEAD LINES TREATMENT

Botox Dubai | 31 October 2023

Many precise and well-planned injection sites are used to provide Botox injections. The tiny microneedles on the device allow it to recognise facial features. They are designed for the express purpose of reducing infusion pain so that your treatment will be as painless and soothing as it can be. In any case, if a patient requests it, we do provide desensitising cream.

Even though the injections themselves only take a few minutes, we might want to follow up with you for a while thereafter or give you counselling before starting therapy if that’s what you’ll remember most. Do this to ensure that you receive the best treatment available and that your wellbeing is consistently maintained.

Numerous conditions, including hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and juvenile cerebral paralysis, are treated with Botox. It is extremely well protected and has a tonne of clinical trials and eligibility requirements to support it. Corrective treatment employs minute doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily relax the face muscles and deter misuse. This will gradually make face wrinkles and kinks less noticeable, giving you a more youthful appearance.

Botox is most typically used on the following areas:

Between the eyebrows on the forehead is a little area known as the glabella (“Elevens”). We use this muscle to talk regularly, therefore it’s probable that some of our most noticeable kinks and notches are found here. Your face’s highlights may be mellowed, and lines may be dramatically reduced, by relaxing the muscle and tension in this area.

Some people have temple discomfort, which is typically treated at the same time as the glabella and the crow’s feet. As we age, the fat pads in front of us and the facial muscles migrate and change position, giving us an aged, jaded, and generally unpleasant appearance.  

The crow’s feet that frame our eyes frequently connote evil in the minds of our patients. Even while we occasionally may completely remove these wrinkles, most people will notice a softer and more youthful appearance around the eyes following Botox treatment.

GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY | MALE BREAST REDUCTION

Plastic Surgery Dubai | 28 October 2023

Some guys may believe that one or both of their breasts are disproportionately huge. Gynecomastia is a disorder that may result from an imbalance in hormones or from being extremely overweight, as both conditions can raise oestrogen levels and cause breast tissue to swell. Males who have this problem may choose for breast reduction surgery. It can also be used to tighten the skin around the breasts after significant weight loss that has caused the skin to droop in that area. It is not the best option for big men who have large, merely extra-fat breasts.

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.

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. 

The position of your navel will then be stamped by your specialist. Even after the skin around it has been repositioned, the navel typically stays in the same place. The expert cuts a hole in your skin and rewraps it around your navel while simultaneously sewing it. 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.
