BREAST RECONSTRUCTION AFTER MASTECTOMY

Plastic Surgery Dubai | 21 September 2023

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

TYPES OF RECONSTRUCTION

The main ways of making a new breast include:

– implants to replace all or some of your breast tissue

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

– using your own tissue and an implant

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

After reconstruction surgery you might consider more surgery to:

– create a new nipple (a nipple reconstruction)

– change the shape of your other breast to match

WHEN TO HAVE BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

Breast reconstruction can be done:

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

– after your cancer surgery (delayed reconstruction)

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

– the type and stage of your cancer

– other treatments that you might need

– your feelings and preferences

IMMEDIATE BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

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

Advantages

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

– You usually have fewer operations, so fewer anaesthetics.

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

Disadvantages

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

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

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

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

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

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

DELAYED BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

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

Advantages

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

Dr. Vigo.

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

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

Disadvantages

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

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

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

WHO CAN HAVE BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

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

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

– radiotherapy

– large breasts

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

RECONSTRUCTION AFTER BREAST CONSERVING SURGERY

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

HAVING A PARTIAL RECONSTRUCTION

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

RESHAPING THE BREAST

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

HELPING YOURSELF BEFORE BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

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

Stop smoking

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

Maintain a healthy weight

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

Keep physically active

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

WHAT IS A MOMMY MAKEOVER?

Plastic Surgery Dubai | 15 September 2023

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.

“Mommy makeover” is a catch-all phrase that refers to a specialized combination of body contouring procedures, performed together to improve the physical changes that linger long after pregnancy. One reason for its popularity is that the mommy makeover has no set components; each procedure is custom-tailored to fit the individual patient’s unique needs. However, the surgical approach generally starts with a breast and abdomen contouring procedure, then adding additional elements as needed.

THE COMPONENTS OF A MOMMY MAKEOVER

As the breasts and abdomen are the primary areas of change with motherhood, a mommy makeover will often center around a breast and abdomen procedure. During pregnancy and breast-feeding, the breasts will also enlarge, increasing as much as a full cup size or more. However, returning back to ‘normal’ can mean a significant loss in breast volume and noticeable sagging. Throughout a pregnancy, the abdominal muscles, skin and tissues stretch to safely accommodate the growing baby. Unfortunately, after childbirth, these layers may not bounce back to their taut, pre-baby shape.

Your mommy makeover may include:

– Breast Augmentation

– Breast Lift

– Breast Reduction

– Tummy Tuck

– Circumferential Abdominoplasty

– Liposuction

Breast implants can restore fullness and lost volume, while a breast lift helps to lift sagging skin for improving shape. Today’s breast augmentation is safer and more effective than ever before. For those with disproportionately large, uncomfortable breasts, a breast reduction surgery can create a smaller, more ideal appearance.

To further improve the figure, commonly added techniques can include the abdominoplasty (also known as a tummy tuck, a circumferential abdominoplasty and liposuction. However, women do not have to stop here; a mommy makeover can also include a thigh lift, arm lift or a Brazilian butt lift. Depending on the recommended set of procedures, a mommy makeover can be performed during one single operation, or for safety reasons, may be spread out over multiple surgical sessions.

10 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE MOMMY MAKEOVER

1. The mommy makeover will be performed as an inpatient surgery – This allows you to recover in a appropriate facility where specialized nurses will assist you overnight.

2. Your recovery can take from one to two weeks – Although this will depend on the specific procedures included in your mommy makeover, plan on your recovery taking up to two weeks, during which time you will be sore, bruised and swollen.

3. You will need help around the house – You will be tired and tender for several days after your mommy makeover, making routine chores impossible; enlist assistance around the house from a family member or friend.

4. No driving until certain pain medications have been stopped – Your surgeon will prescribe the necessary pain medications for a comfortable recovery, however, do not get behind the wheel while taking narcotics.

5. Swelling can last for six months or longer – While some benefits of a mommy makeover are immediate, the full results cannot be assessed until all swelling has subsided; this will take from six months to a year.

6. No heavy lifting, including babies – Vigorous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least six weeks after your mommy makeover; this includes carrying babies and children over 10 pounds.

7. A mommy makeover is for non-smokers – Smoking decreases circulation, delaying wound healing and substantially increasing the chance for serious complications to occur; stop smoking for at least four weeks before and four weeks after your mommy makeover. Better yet, use this as a reason to stop smoking altogether.

8. You will still need gym time – To ensure the results from your mommy makeover are long-lasting, stick with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and routine exercise schedule.

9. Only choose an experienced plastic surgeon – The mommy makeover is a combination of invasive techniques, so choose the best and most experienced plastic surgeon available; never risk your health and safety to cut corners or save money.

10. Get ready for a serious boost in self-confidence – Your mommy makeover will be life-changing, restoring confidence and pride in your appearance.

YOUR PERSONALIZED MOMMY MAKEOVER

The mommy makeover is ideal for bringing a post-baby body back to its pre-pregnancy shape. The best way to learn about the mommy makeover procedure is to begin with at-home research. When you are ready to take the next step, please contact me to schedule an in-person consultation.

KNOW YOUR BREAST SURGERY OPTIONS

Plastic Surgery Dubai | 10 September 2023

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

Given the range of cosmetic treatments available, selecting the best one can be challenging for many women considering breast surgery. Patients can select the procedure that best serves their cosmetic objectives by understanding the differences between the various types of breast surgery. Most often, patients get breast surgery to improve or modify the contour of their breasts. Most frequently, this entails the use of implants to enlarge and alter the shape.

Patients may choose a reduction in order to achieve better body proportions. A fat transfer or implant procedure known as augmentation is the most popular kind of cosmetic breast surgery to obtain the desired size and shape. Breast reductions, which remove extra fat and tissue for smaller, perkier breasts, and breast lifts, which tighten and raise existing breast tissue, are other popular operations.

RENUVION: THE GROUND BREAKING, MINIMALLY-INVASIVE TISSUE CONTRACTING TREATMENT

Plastic Surgery Dubai | 5 September 2023

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

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

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

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

WHAT IS RENUVION?

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

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

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR THIS SKIN TIGHTENING PROCEDURE?

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

– tiny incision

– little or no scarring

– minimal downtime

BENEFITS OF RENUVION FOR THE FACE

– Immediate skin tightening

– Improved skin elasticity

– Scar reduction

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

freckles

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

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

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

forehead, jaw and neck

– Reduction of eye bags and crow’s feet

– Reduction of acne and pigment issues (chloasma)

RENUVION COMMON TREATMENTS

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

– Face

– Neck

– Breasts

– Stomach

– Arms

– Thighs

WHAT IS PLASMA ENERGY?

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

RENUVION CONSULTATION

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

RENUVION FACE PROCEDURE

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

DOES THE PROCEDURE REQUIRE GENERAL ANESTHESIA?

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

HOW MANY RENUVION TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

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

RECOVERY AFTER RENUVION SKIN RESURFACING

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

RECOVERY & SIDE EFFECTS

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

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

– Dry skin

– Peeling skin

– Mild pain

– Redness

– Swelling

– Itching

– Bruising

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

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

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

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

SIMPLY BETTER

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

BREAST REDUCTION: FOR A MORE SHAPELY, UPLIFTED BUST

Plastic Surgery Dubai | 3 September 2023

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.

The size of a woman’s breasts is determined by a number of factors such as genes, weight and hormones. Although most women’s breasts are in proportion to their body size and shape, some women’s breasts are disproportionately large, which can cause general discomfort. The size and weight of the breasts can particularly be an issue for women who have small frames, as the imbalance can create problems. The aim of a breast reduction operation is to reduce the size and weight of the breasts.

BREAST REDUCTION TECHIQUES

There are three types of technique used and your surgeon will tailor this to suit your needs.

The peri areolar technique

Scarring is limited to the circumference of the areola; this is suitable for smaller reductions.

The vertical scar technique

Here a scar is made around the areola and then extended down towards the breast crease, this is suitable for moderate reductions.

The ‘inverted T’ or ‘anchor’ technique

This is the most traditional form. The resulting scars will be around the areola, from the areola to the breast fold and along the breast fold. This is required for larger breast reductions.

Dr. Vigo will always provide you with information and guidance in order to ensure scaring is minimised.

BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY

Breast reduction surgery is meant for women who have large breasts and want to resolve issues such as:

– Chronic back, neck and shoulder pain that requires pain medications

– Chronic rash or skin irritation under the breasts

– Nerve pain

– Restricted activity

– Difficulty fitting into bras and clothing

Breast reduction surgery generally isn’t recommended if you:

– Smoke

– Have certain conditions such as diabetes or heart problems

– Are very obese

Childbirth. If you haven’t started a family or your family isn’t yet complete, you might wait until pregnancy isn’t an issue. Breast-feeding might be challenging after breast reduction surgery – although certain surgical techniques can help preserve your ability to breast-feed.

Weight loss. If you are interested in losing weight by changing your diet and starting an exercise program, you might wait to decide if reduction mammoplasty is for you. Losing weight can often result in changes to your breast size.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE?

– Patients who want smaller breasts.

– Patients with extensive breast asymmetry.

– Healthy patients without breast cancer.

– Patients who possess realistic expectations.

– Patients who will tolerate breast scars.

– Patients who complain of chronic neck, shoulder and back pain from

excessive breast size.

– Patients with large breasts who experience chronic skin irritation along

their bra straps and under the breast folds.

BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY RISKS

Breast reduction surgery has the same risks as any other type of major surgery – bleeding, infection and an adverse reaction to the anesthesia. Other possible risks include:

– Bruising, which is usually temporary

– Scarring

– Removal of or loss of sensation in the nipples and skin surrounding the

nipples (areolae)

– Difficulty or inability to breast-feed

– Differences in the size, shape and symmetry of the surgically altered

left and right breasts, which might lead to further surgery to improve

your appearance

– Nipple loss or fat necrosis

– Evaluate your medical history and overall health

– Discuss your expectations for breast size and appearance after the

surgery

– Provide a detailed description of the procedure and its risks and

benefits, including likely scarring and possible loss of sensation

– Examine and measure your breasts

– Take photographs of your breasts for your medical record

– Explain the type of anesthesia used during surgery

Before breast reduction surgery, you might also be asked to:

– Complete various lab tests

– Get a baseline mammogram

– Stop smoking for a certain period of time before and after surgery

– Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements,

to control bleeding during surgery

AFTER THE PROCEDURE

Your breasts will be covered with a gauze dressing or bandages. A tube might be placed under each arm to drain any excess blood or fluid. You likely will take medication for pain and antibiotics, to decrease your risk of infection.

For the first days or week after surgery:

– Your breasts will probably feel tender and sensitive

– Your breasts might be swollen and bruised

– Your surgeon might recommend an elastic compression bra to protect

the breasts

You’ll need to limit physical activity for two to four weeks while the breasts heal. Dr. Vigo might suggest avoiding underwire bras for a few months after surgery. Scarring usually fades over time. You will need a follow-up visit with Dr. Vigo to remove stitches and check your recovery.

A surgical technique called breast implant removal is used to remove breast implants. Old breast implants are replaced during breast reconstruction surgery. Implants may be changed to ones that are similar to the originals or ones that are different in size, form, or composition. Both procedures can be done for therapeutic or aesthetic purposes.

After 10 to 15 years, breast implants often need to be removed or replaced. They might be beginning to “bottom out” (lateral displacement), feeling hard to the touch and malformed (capsular contracture), or they could have shifted or rotated, giving your breasts an uneven look or a space between them.

THE VAMPIRE FACELIFT USES THE POWER OF PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP)

Cosmetic Clinic Dubai | 18 August 2023

The Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment, also referred to as the “Vampire Facelift” or “Dracula Therapy,” is predicated on the hypothesis that the body’s own healing processes may be able to both slow down and, unexpectedly, reverse the maturing process.

Where development components are positioned in a progressive fix framework is the precise area where we maintain that the skin should mend and revitalise itself.

Platelets contain high levels of “development factors,” or proteins that aid in the repair of injured skin or tissue. The surrounding cells divide as a result of the platelets’ release of growth factors during reinfusion, animating the fix, adding volume, and rejuvenating the skin.

An avant-garde With the use of the concentrated platelet rich plasma system, I am able to treat large volumes of whole blood, allowing me to treat more areas in a single appointment and reducing the frequency of visits for patients. The patient’s blood is drawn during the procedure, processed (in a rotator) to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then injected once again into the targeted area. The procedure offers the skin a plumped appearance, smoothes out minor variances and kinks, and makes the skin appear overall more radiant. Additionally, the method is fantastic for healing wounds.

A BREAST UPLIFT IS AN OPERATION TO REMOVE EXTRA LOOSE SKIN FROM THE BREASTS

Plastic Surgery Dubai | 12 August 2023

Breast sagging can result after pregnancy, nursing, or rapid weight reduction. It is a normal part of growing older. In addition to breast augmentation, women who are unhappy with the way their breasts seem due to ptosis may choose breast lift surgery.

When in front of a mirror, check the distance between your nipples and the crease under your breasts. If your nipples were lower than your breast crease before to surgery, adding implants won’t do anything other than cause your breasts to droop even more. I often advise women in this condition to seek breast augmentation and a breast lift.Breast lifts are the most challenging kind of female breast surgery.

What my clients say

I wanted to thank you for the fillers I had last week, as always I am so pleased with results and feel much more confident once again! My mother is now considering having something done (she who has been totally against anything in the past) as she is so impressed with the work you have done and how natural it looks.

N Galka, Dubai

Almost 2 months have passed since my neck lift and lower/upper blepharoplasty / fat transfer, and I must say that I am delighted with your work! I would, without a shadow of a doubt, not hesitate to recommend you, as I already have in this short time, to family and friends.

AMB Abu Dhabi

Dr.Vigo is for sure the best plastic surgeon in Dubai! I am truly impressed with his talent, job and the way he cares for his patients. Highly recommend!

Karmen Infante

One of the best plastic surgeons in Dubai who has a very good heart for his patients and have so much passion about his work. With his gentle hands, anyone will forget their fear of needles/injections.

Jasmine Mateo

Dr. Matteo Vigo is, without a doubt, the best plastic surgeon in Dubai!

Sharren Lan

Best Plastic Surgeon in Dubai!

Candice Chan

Dr Matteo Vigo is doubtless the number 1 physician in UAE when it comes to the perfect balance of rejuvenation and a natural authentic look! His sense of aesthetics is elegant and perfectly tailored to the patients needs. I trust him 150% as a plastic surgeon as well as an aesthetic doctor. He takes a lot of time to explains his treatment upfront and puts all concerns at ease. Also he is a key opinion leader in his field and trains other physicians. All in a very thorough and highly skilled specialist doctor.

NA Dubai

I just want to share my experience with doctor Matteo Vigo. He is definitely one of the best plastic surgery in Dubai. I had my breast augmentation and upper and lower blepharoplastic and both are perfect. I was really afraid of the intervention, pain and result but from the first appointment he patiently answer and reassure me. He is always available to answer to your questions and doubts .The results are amazing and no pain at all ! I may say my back pained more to sleep on my back than the part operated. Scars invisible , everything is so unbelievable natural thanks to his golden hands. I strongly recommend him.

PB Dubai

“Excellent in every way! I can’t recommend the empathetic, talented and attentive Dr. Matteo enough. I was quite scared about the tummy tuck however after the initial consultation I really knew and felt I’ll be in safe and highly competent hands. He told me honestly what he thinks will work for me and listened carefully, always took my concerns seriously and explained clearly. It’s about what is the best for you and only you. The result is absolutely amazing! He has been very caring from the first appointment to the last follow up. The one to see in Dubai!”

LW Dubai

“I had a blepharoplasty last year with Dr Vigo. I am extremely satisfied with the results, no scars at all! I would recommend Dr Vigo for his high level of professionalism. He was able to to listen to my needs and made a wonderful and natural job. All my friends are still wondering what I have done. Thanks Dr Vigo!”

EG Dubai

“Three words to describe Dr Matteo Vigo…professional, knowledgeable and human. Dr Vigo goes beyond…”

VDG Dubai

Dr. Vigo and his staff went beyond my expectations. He is a very professional doctor with exceptional surgical skills. I am very very pleased with my surgery results and my entire experience from pre-op to post-op. I will definitely refer him to my friends and family and return myself for future needs.

MDD Dubai

Dr Matteo is an excellent doctor. His staff are one of the best in the industry. I feel like a princess whenever I visit their clinic. Dr Matteo is helpful and a versatile plastic surgeon. His skills are unmatched, unparallel and I trust him with my beauty goals. I can see myself getting more procedures with him in the future. He will take care of you like one of his family members, will never leave you alone if you have any tinge of doubt. I like the way he covers all the pros and cons and his attention to important facts that most plastic surgeon leaves out just to get your money. I did a lot of research and went to other surgeons before I decided that it’s only Dr. Vigo whom I can allow to do any modification on me. Dr Vigo should be on the hall of fame of great Plastic surgeons!

EO Dubai

Dr Vigo is an excellent surgeon. I’m truly impressed by the professionalism and super natural results of his work. He is very honest, recommending the best for each patient. His supportive follow up after treatments and surgeries is very appreciated. The clinic team is friendly and happy spirited.

AAH Dubai

I had a breast augmentation done by Dr Vigo two months ago: the surgery went smoothly, the post-op was almost pain-free and I am very satisfied with the result so far! I was positively impressed by Dr Vigo’s experience in this field, his attention to my specific requests and his willingness to answer any questions I had before and after the surgery. I would definitely recommend Dr Vigo for breast augmentation, especially if you are aiming for a natural result.

M Dubai

Amazing surgeon. I couldn’t be happier with my results.

SW Dubai

I promise that I was going to try to do my best to write you a thank you letter in Italian. Please excuse any mistakes that I may make grammatically. I wanted to express my deepest and sincerest gratitude to you Dr. Vigo. I understand that you are professional and take great pride in your work. But to me, the patient, you’ve changed my outlook on myself. I walk with ease and much more confident. As a mother, you devote yourself entirely to your family whom I love dearly. But also deep inside I missed seeing myself and you made this possible. And your reassurance, made the process that much easier. Anyone can tell you are very passionate about your work. You made me feel very beautiful in my skin and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

AN Dubai

Dr. Matteo is one of the best and most experienced plastic surgeons in UAE – I have tried many doctors in Dubai, unfortunately as of my personal opinion I was not really happy with the results. However, with Dr. Matteo, I’m impressed everytime with results of my Botox and fillers to an extent that I always keep coming back!

MHM Dubai

I’ve done this surgery with Dr Matteo Vigo and I’m extremely satisfied! Being myself such a scared person and having never had any surgery in my life , well once there just before the surgery I gained a lot of confidence and I felt in good hands! Dr Matteo and his awesome team made me feel comfortable and gave me a lot of reassurance before the surgery. When I woke up I could not recognize my face but that was absolutely normal after such a surgery however I was dismissed from the clinic the same day. I had no pain at all and that was such a great thing! I had to wear sunglasses for a while and take my medicines and do the proper follow up after surgery and in 3 weeks times my eyes were absolutely amazing! No more puffiness or dark circles!!! Being a public person, winner of many world titles in the sport industry as well holding the title of Miss Universe this surgery brought me back under the lights of the success!!! I will always be thankful to Dr Matteo for his awesome and super professional job and his great patience to treat me like a princess!!!!

Awesome results of my surgery with Dr Matteo Vigo!!! I highly recommend him and his team!!!

FC Dubai

When you start thinking about plastic surgery, there is a lot of research and doubt that comes with it. My experience with Dr. Vigo was great, i didn’t have any pressure to proceed without giving it careful thought. He gave me the list of risks that could arise with having the surgery and answered all my questions straight and politely. I felt reassured at the very first meeting and didn’t feel the need to consult other doctors. So far, I am very happy with the results and would definitely recomment him if you ever consider plastic surgery. Thanks a lot Doctor! 🙂

JG Dubai

Dr. Matteo Vigo is simply the best surgeon in the world! He is the one who saved my life from a special condition while no one could heal me from all the famous doctors in Lebanon, Germany, Amman, Dubai, except him. Dr. Vigo is highly recommended and very trustworthy in all plastic and non plastic condition as he advises what’s the best for you with amazing natural results. My friends have completed several plastic surgery operations and they look gorgeous. He is just PERFECT!. S

I wanted to get some fillers and as a former model/actor I am always extra picky and selective about my face and the results. I am so lucky to have selected Dr Vigo; I fully trust his expertise and attention to details and the results were amazing. I will recommend him to all my friends in the show business not just in Dubai but in the US as well.

MG Dubai

I had a breast augmentation two years ago. The experience was easier than expected. Dr Vigo is very professional. He explained to me every single step of the way and any time I had a question he was answering immediately. The recovery was quick, no pain, and the scars are invisible. My breasts look natural and lifted. So far I’m very happy for the results. Highly recommended

For a man, it’s always tricky to do fillers and Botox, with Dr. Matteo it’s not any more the case. Very friendly, knows what he is doing and very professional. Best I’ve been in… 👍

Dr Matteo Vigo is absolutely AMAZING! I’m super picky about my Botox but Dr Vigo always does it perfect. He listens to what you want and always exceeds my expectations.

Amazing and talented Surgeon Dr. Matteo Vigo, I felt like my requests were heard but valued his opinion more than my own, his manner made me feel very comfortable with him. I have seen many doctors here in Dubai Which left me with big disappointment. But with Dr. Matteo The results are amazing and very natural in appearance plus he uses only best quality and brands as products in market . Very happy with my results. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Matteo Nabila

What can i say? Absolutely delighted with my new lips ! You see so many people walking around with terrible lips so it was something i was extremely nervous about…… this is not the look i wanted! From start to finish Dr Matteo gave a 5 star professional service and listened to exactly what i wanted. Enough to notice i have had them done, but still a natural look. Highly recommended to everyone wanting this treatment. Thank you so much xx

Dr Vigo is a very professional, attentive and caring doctor. He knows perfectly what he is doing and will give you natural results. I can highly recommend him!

SLR Dubai

I’m the one look into mirror myself, as aging as worrying my changes on the face or body, but I always know safety is always first important no matter how much cost. Reminding those going to have any tiny injection on on your face or body, life is only once, take care yourself, if you save little from “none licensed operator” you may suffer the rest of your life. So I only flied back to Beijing “AAA” hospital during each vacation for some improvement before I met Dr. Matteo Vigo. After I decided to have stem cells treatment I went to their clinic, studied on line and followed on his Instagram to check his work for almost a year then put my life in his hand, and my choice was right. I was so much worrying any little issues I found after operation, and he always told me giving time for recovery, now it’s been a month, I think 90% recovered and I m happy to see my nature result. He said the stem cells will work more better after half year 🙂 People are greedy, I thought this was my final, but seeing what I got as my wish safely, still planning next. By the way, he is Italian Doctor has our Asian aesthetics, he knew what I want and what suits me, this is important.

SG Dubai

Dr. Matteo is a great advisor, surgeon and professional. He made my lip filler without any pain, and at the exact result I wished. He has a lovely team, I am happy to be his patient.

NB Dubai

Dr. Vigo is by far the most conscientious Dr. I have met. He is honest and thorough in his evaluation and managing expectations. He is responsive and open to spend any amount of time answering questions concerning the procedure. He will make sure that you are both physically and mentally fit and ready to undergo any procedure. I felt safe cooperating with him and if the situation presents itself I would cooperate with him again in heart beat.

RS Dubai

Dr. Vigo is a very professional, caring and very human surgeon. One of the best professionals I’ve ever met.

Dear Dr. Vigo I am truly thankful for so many aspects of my experience with you and your entire staff that I really do not know where to begin. So I will start with the part that I am most excited about… my results! I am currently almost 3 weeks post-op after an abdominoplasty surgery and am beyond thrilled with my tummy. My results have exceeded even my highest expectations even in a very short period of time ,the difference is evident . The weekly medical check-up during my recovery has always been met with professionalisn and care! Of course, the end result is just part of the story when it comes to having surgery. I am most grateful for your unparalleled kindness, patience and warmth, which put me at ease, calmed my jittery nerves, and has made me fell completely comfortable each step of the way and beyond. Prior to the surgery, you listened carefully to my preferences regarding outcome.
 
Your staff has been amazing, too. From the front desk all the way through to your nurses . Ms Sarah, your PS was so amazing explaining all the pre and post-op instructions, calmly answering each of my questions with the utmost knowledge and competence. She even called to check on me at home during my recovery which I appreciated highly. On a final note ;thank you so much for everything. The experience was great, the results were greater, and I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone in the future because you truly are an amazing gifted surgeon! Warmest Regards, Zina Bazzi

Changed the doctor last minute simply because he couldn’t do the surgery the way I wanted it to be done. I wanted the implants under the muscle not above so I found doctor vego who introduced me to third option which is Dual Plane. During my researches I read about this technique that is most used by doctors recently especially in Thailand but I didn’t think I would meet a doctor who would be able to do it for me. What I liked about My doctor is that he gave me all the options plus his own opinion and recommendations and left me the space to choose the incision, implant type and size, and implant placement, etc. He is surrounded by strong team including his assistant who was available 24 hrs to answer my questions and worries and planned everything for me as I only had two days between consultation and surgery. Anastasia doctor was super nice and nurses as well. Supported me and helped me with everything as I came by myself to the hospital to do the surgery and you can imagine how scared and lonely felt. Post surgery: no bleeding, no infection, very very light aching compared to other people’s experiences. Recovery was quick without any complications. After two weeks of free follow up I was able to travel for holiday and I resumed work exactly after 20 days considering that it’s a very physically demanding job yet everything went well.

I try many Doctors in Dubai and was just 50 % happy , with Dr. Vigo i can say 100%, all work he done on my face ( Filler and Botox ) I am more than happy . He is honestly and don’t make you look like a Alien. For me , I trust him what he recommend me and I was never disappointed after.

A friend in Dubai recommended Dr.Vigo Matteo, so the first thing i did when i landed in Dubai was seeing him for a consultation for Botox and fillers.

I recommend Dr. Vigo, his services are great and professional, and results are guaranteed. I will definitely come back soon and I’m really happy I finally found a Doctor I can trust.

I would like to thank Dr. Vigo for his excellent procedures he has done for me. I first visited him to do botox and lip fillers. I have to say, the lip fillers were the best I had so far. Very natural and exactly what I was looking for. Usually with fillers I was two days not able to go out due to the swelling, but with Dr. Vigos treatment I was able to go out the very next day. The botox was very good and natural too. I also needed to exchange my 14 years old breast implants, which he has done and the result is amazing. Dr. Vigo is an excellent and kind Dr. and I felt very comfortable having this procedures done with him. All the best!

I am glad to write about Dr vigo who was my surgeon and I am well impressed with his professionalism towards his work.His approach is really appreciated and result was excellent and I am back to work on the said date without any complications I strongly recommend him as your surgeon and believe me you will get fully satisfied with his art of excellence

Dr. Vigo is the best surgeon I have met. He dealt with a surgery that I had done by another doctor and that had gone completely wrong. Not only did Dr Vigo solve the problem, the results have satisfied me in every way. I appreciate the hard work, his friendly and sympathetic approach to his patients and his high standards of professionalism
 
R K Dubai
 
 
I would like to share my experience with the wonderful Dr. Vigo. He is THE BEST PLASTIC SURGEON DOCTOR IN THE UAE, from day 1 to the end I felt very comfortable and in safe hands. I always saw videos on how breast augmentation is done before and after result, and to be honest it always gave me a second thought if I should do it because I was afraid of the pain afterward, but I promise with Dr. Vigo it was like a piece of cake, I didn’t even feel like I went and done a surgery, besides all the care that I experienced with the professional Dr and his wonderful assistant Sara and very lovely staff after the surgery was more like a family feel. I do really from my heart recommend Dr. Vigo because you will feel nothing but safety and profession. To also add on it, he does keep on following up with with his patients even after months from surgery to assure that everything is okay. That is what I call a professional doctor.
 
S E Dubai
 
 
I recently underwent a bilateral mastectomy and completed my breast reconstruction with Dr Vigo. He was recommended to me by several of my health care providers whom had seen his work; my oncologist actually commented that his work was so good that visually you could not tell that her patient had had breast reconstruction and I can say with first hand experience that this is true. Undergoing a bilateral mastectomy is not a particularly pleasant experience but Dr Vigo’s gentle approach, attention to detail and his willingness to explain things really do make for a stress free experience. He truly is an exceptional surgeon, his passion for his work is evident in the way he speaks. He is a true artist who works with integrity, he will guide you through every step of your journey ensuring you make the right decisions for your body. Aesthetically speaking his work is incredibly natural and I have personally been left with minimal scaring. His assistant Sarah is also amazing, she will answer any questions you have pretty much anytime of the day, she will walk you through every step of your surgery and will regularly check in with you. Dr Vigo and Sarah are an incredible team and I’m so glad that they were part of my journey; they both hold a place in my heart and I am eternally grateful to them both.

First time getting lip fillers and I was naturally very apprehensive/nervous… however Dr. Vigo knew exactly what he was doing and I couldn’t be happier with the result. There was barely any swelling and next to no bruising. And most importantly my lips look NATURAL! I’m a happy client. Thank you.

I would like to send my compliments to Dr. Vigo. I came to him very uncertain and he took his time to explain everything to me with much patience and his specialist knowledge. He is a brilliant and very professional surgeon. I am so happy and pleased with the result, without any complication. I am so thankful that I had him as a surgeon, he is the best in Dubai.

I decided to see Dr Vigo for lip fillers and Botox. I was worried about the procedures since it was my first time, but Dr Vigo did an amazing job and the results were very natural. He truly delivers what the patient asks for and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Staff is lovely too and will follow up with the patient to make sure all is ok. Highly recommend!
 
NR Dubai
 
 
I would like here not only to give a quick review but to share life time experience with Dr. Vigo. I came to know him long years ago when I decided to go for my liposuction operation in Dubai. After doing some research and checking several options, it didn’t take much time to decide that yes he is the one. I did the operation and results were as per my expectation but his post operation professional approach, the time, the caring and attention he gives to his patients were beyond my expectations. Few years later I went through another plastic surgery (Otoplasty) to fix a defect in my ears shape. The results were amazing and far beyond my expectation, Why? Because it was him again who did it. I always say in a city like Dubai, it is never easy to find honest and experienced doctors and then to make up your mind and decide to go for operation or surgery unless you meet a doctor like Dr. Vigo…and if you do, consider yourself lucky, in safe hands and see real natural results afterwards. Although Dr Vigo doesn’t need my recommendation nor my 5 stars review, but I do recommend him and I find this platform as the best way to express my genuine feeling and appreciation to him. 
 
Albert B.
 
 
After numerous consultation in Dubai, finally decided on Dr. Vigo. First impression last! His mannerism, humbleness, professionalism and patience makes him the right surgeon. Appointments always on time. The pre & post surgery had been a very pleasant experience. Result is marvellous! His assistant Sarah is wonderful with all the appointments and communications, always available for any doubts and enquiries. She even went the extra mile to check on me post op at the hospital. Dr. Vigo and Amwaj Polyclinic nurses really made me feel so comfortable. Thank you! Best wishes, Another happy patient:))
