THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE HAVING LIP FILLERS

Fillers in Dubai | 9 August 2023

Each individual is unique. This includes differences in risk factors, genetics, metabolism, lip structure, and cosmetic aspirations. Do not contrast your lip, architecture, or volume with anyone else’s; instead, be proud of your individuality! It’s what sets us apart.

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.

FAT TRANSFER BREAST AUGMENTATION OR A ‘NATURAL BREAST AUGMENTATION’

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 6 August 2023

We have some excellent news for you if you’ve ever heard someone jokingly remark they wish they could transfer extra fat from their waist to their breasts: it is truly achievable with a surgery called “fat transfer breast augmentation.”

This surgery involves injecting breasts with fat that has been liposuctioned from a certain body part (the thighs, arms, love handles, or back). This surgery is perfect for people who only desire a little increase in breast size. It can help lessen imperfections, improve breast form, and increase your breasts by using your own natural fat cells. Additionally, individuals who already have implants can increase the size of their breasts even more by having fat transferred into them rather than having an implant replacement treatment. Breast augmentation is always breast augmentation, regardless of whether you label it “augmentation light.”

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

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

THE BREASTS OF YOUR CHOICE. BREAST AUGMENTATION IS A COSMETIC SURGERY PROCEDURE ALSO KNOWN AS BREAST ENLARGEMENT OR BREAST IMPLANTS

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 24 July 2023

Breast augmentation surgery typically takes 1-2 hours to accomplish, involves an overall sedative, and is performed as a day-stay or short-term visit system. After the procedure, it’s crucial to exercise briefly and gently and avoid carrying anything heavy for 7–10 days. About 10 days following therapy, the majority of patients could once more drive and go back to work. Sports and heavy lifting should be avoided for three months following surgery.

Bosom expansion surgery can extend your breasts and improve their proportion to the rest of your body, which can increase your self-confidence and beauty.

There are several alternatives for breast enlargement, so it’s crucial to carefully assess which ones are ideal for you. You should be knowledgeable about the advantages and disadvantages of these solutions before seeing your professional about a decision. Contrasts in the size and condition of your breasts may attempt to stand out more after the procedure, but breast implants won’t affect their basic condition.

A BREAST UPLIFT, OR MASTOPEXY, IS AN SURGICAL PROCEDURE THAT INVOLVES REMOVING EXCESS, STRETCHED SKIN AND BREAST TISSUE

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 18 July 2023

Most of my patients have very straightforward plans for their breast augmentation procedures. In addition, if you are older (over 40), have given birth more than once, or have lost a significant amount of weight, you might want to think about getting a breast lift.

When a patient has just modest breast drooping and a little amount of excess, high-quality skin, implants can raise the breasts enough without the need for additional surgical lifting. This is particularly true if the implants are placed underneath the muscle. If the patient has little sagging, placing the implant under the breast will ensure perky, natural, and firm outcomes.

If the patient has poor skin quality, stretch marks, large quantities of sagging skin, low-resting nipples, or it seems that the skin, glands, and chest wall are not engaged, a lift is necessary to provide the greatest cosmetic effect. Some younger women fall into these categories as well, albeit older women are more prone to do so. If you’ve given birth more than once, it’s likely that the repeated expansion and contraction of the breast tissue has left you with loose skin, stretch marks, and decreased breast volume (especially in the upper half of the breast). Breasts that are flat and drooping are commonly seen in women under the age of 40 who have lost a significant amount of weight.

Although mastopexy augmentation is typically less demanding and more economical, some surgeons avoid combining breast augmentation with lift surgery due to the added complexity. It is easier for the patient and enhances the chance of a successful outcome when breast augmentation and lift operations are combined into a single treatment.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE OF BREAST IMPLANTS …

Breast Enlargement Dubai | 10 July 2023

When it comes to sizing, Dr. Vigo urges his patients to focus more on proportion and shape rather than cup size. It is extremely subjective to measure the cup size of patients seeking breast augmentation. Even breasts on the same body are not identical between two persons! Before I can determine your final size, I must evaluate your skeletal and muscular make-up, general anatomy, and the quality, thickness, and suppleness of the present tissue.

These elements have a role in the widely varied ways that bras are worn by various people. Additionally, sizes differ significantly across manufacturers.So while thinking about your new size, concentrate more on proportion and shape. Most importantly, don’t base your choice of size on what a friend or your significant other may have.

During your appointment, we will carefully select the implant size based on dimensions rather than volume.

DROOPING BREASTS CAN BE BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED TO A MORE YOUTHFUL SHAPE AND POSITION

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 9 July 2023

A surgical treatment never comes without risk. Having said that, undergoing a breast lift and augmentation treatment together can be just as safe as doing it separately. Aside from correcting a wide range of cosmetic issues, augmentation-mastopexy surgery offers several unique benefits. Combining these breast surgeries gives a number of cosmetic and reconstructive advantages:

– 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.

USE YOUR OWN BODY’S FAT AND TISSUES FOR NATURAL BREAST ENGLARGEMENT WITH FAT TRANSFERS FOR YOUR BREASTS

MINIMALLY-INVASIVE EAR PINNING – EAR PINNING OR OTOPLASTY

Cosmetic Clinic Dubai | 1 July 2023

The ears may be the first body component to grow to adult size. If the ear stands out too far, it could be seen. 2% of people believe that their ears stick out abnormally. The problem, which is often acquired, is caused by the absence of the unique ligament folds in the ear.

Bullying at school is typically the root cause of the majority of big ear issues in young people. Most medical professionals advise avoiding surgery to treat children’s protruding ears until they are old enough to understand what it entails. The youngster is likely to participate at this age and find pleasure in the outcomes. Keep in mind that not everyone who has an obvious ear wants it corrected.

If medical operations are performed on children before they are old enough to understand them, they will suffer needlessly. Therefore, because the ear ligament is normally sensitive in the early years, exercises for different ears are rarely carried out on children under the age of five.

The exact modification of easily identifiable ears is referred to as “otoplasty”. The majority of medical professionals advise delaying this therapy until the child’s ears are fully formed, which is often around age eight. The right of the kid to make their own decisions is supported by certain specialists. There are several successful strategies that may be used with each child to address this issue; there isn’t just one.

Children frequently receive therapy that also includes a general sedative, even though adults can receive treatment while under local anaesthetic. A cut is made behind the ear, at the notch between the ear and the side of the head, during the procedure. A little portion of the ligament bowl (concha) may have been cut, the front of the ear may have been cut, or the ligament may have been secured with a fastener hidden in the rear if the ear was reshaped or twisted towards the head. When the skin is sealed off, the region is frequently covered with a bandage or piece of clothing to provide protection.

THE TOP 3 BENEFITS OF BOTOX®

Botox Dubai | 28 June 2023

Patients often ask me about the science of Botox, or how it works. This FDA approved drug is what is known as a neuromodulator – a messenger released from a neuron in the central nervous system, or in the periphery, that affects groups of neurons, or effector cells that have the appropriate receptors. In other words, I inject the Botox directly into the underlying muscle, which then relaxes and smooths out the appearance of the skin that covers it. The one injection typically lasts about three months.

Let’s explore 3 benefits of Botox:

Benefit of Botox #1: Helps Relieve Migraines

The first benefit of Botox is that it helps relieve migraines. Chronic migraines can be debilitating. I remember a good friend in college who regularly had to close all of the blinds and curtains in her apartment for hours at a time when a migraine struck. It didn’t matter what she had scheduled for the day, she was down for the count. While that was certainly inconvenient for a college student, the impact is much greater for adults with jobs, families and other responsibilities.

The International Headache Society defines a chronic migraine as a “headache occurring on 15 or more days/month for more than 3 months, which, on at least 8 days/month, has the features of migraine headache.” In addition, the headaches last for an extended duration and the pain can be more severe. No wonder the people who suffer from this condition – and their families – want to get rid of the pain to improve their quality of everyday life.

Benefits of Botox #2: Alleviation of TMJ

The second benefit of Botox is that it can alleviate pain caused by TMJ disorder. Anyone who has been diagnosed with TMD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) or TMJ (temporomandibular joint) understands the lifetime of discomfort and sometimes downright pain that it can elicit. Historically, people with TMJ utilize their nightguard regularly – I know some who can’t sleep or even nap without it – but did you know that Botox is now commonly used to help relieve the symptoms? People with TMJ generally experience grinding of the teeth which causes headaches, uncomfortable jaw tension and sometimes lockjaw. Others find themselves unable to sleep due to the discomfort, so not only are they groggy during the day, but they also have chronic facial pain. It’s no way to live.

Benefits of Botox #3: Botox Cosmetic Takes the Years Off

The final benefit of Botox is that it can take years off your appearance and make you feel sexy again. I can’t tell you how many patients of all ages come into the clinic and say “When did I turn into my mother?” While we all love mommy dearest, that doesn’t mean that we want to look like the family matriarch quite yet. Enter Botox to save the day, since a minor injection or two can take years off of a complexion.

Most people use Botox to target moderate to severe smile lines, frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines. We all love to laugh, but those years of sly smirks and full-blown belly laughs take their toll on our faces. Simply by smoothing certain lines on the face we can minimize the effect of all of those happy moments. In addition, those pesky lines can be caused by a loss of elasticity or collagen, genetics, dehydrated skin, smoking and a cause quite common in sunny Dubai: sun damage. The years worshipping the sun on our beautiful beaches have life-long side effects. While smile lines around the eyes or laugh lines around the mouth are more noticeable as the years go by, they’re easily treated with Botox.

BENEFITS OF DERMAL FILLERS

Quick Results and No Downtime
