Tear Trough Treatment for Eye Bags and Dark Circles

Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 25 November 2018

These are all very common areas of concern for both men and women. Under eye circles are dark patches that are visible under the eye. Depending on cause and skin tone, these can look like shadows or discolouration that’s red, blue or green in hue. Under eye bags on the other hand, are swollen pockets or patches under the eye. Both under eye circles and bags can either occur separately or alone. They may also be caused by or exasperated by the presence of a tear trough (this is a loss of fat tissue leading to hollowness under the eye). The most common complaints people tend to have with under eye circles, bags or tear trough deformities is that they give the appearance of tiredness.

What Causes Under Eye Circles, Bags & Tear Troughs?

There are a number of genetic and environmental causes that give rise to under eye circles, bags and tear trough deformities. Some people are more predisposed to developing these and whether they affect other members of your family is a good indicator of your risk. Your skin tone may also play a role. Paler skin tones tend to show up blood vessels more readily and thus give the impression of bluish discolouration under the eyes. Darker skin tones may exhibit increased pigmentation in the under eye area which gives the appearance of shadowing. Aside from genetics, other common causes include:

Ageing: as we get older, the skin under the eyes loses its thickness and elasticity. This thinner and more fragile skin is more likely to show underlying muscles and blood vessels which also gives the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. Sun damage can also cause dark pigmentation under the eyes as well as accelerate skin ageing. Fat loss and reduced skin laxity can also cause under eye bags to appear more prominent. Loss of fat under the skin and skin ageing can also give rise to tear trough deformities.

Diet: deficiencies in Vitamins C and K as well as iron are thought to present with discolouration under the eyes. Diets high in salt can also increase fluid retention which can increase the prominence of under eye bags.

Sleeping: or rather lack of, can result in worsening of under eye circles and bags.

Dehydration: reduced water intake, excess caffeine and alcohol can all cause volume depletion in the skin and lack of laxity.

Sun damage and smoking: this can cause increased pigmentation and skin ageing both of which give rise to dark under eye circles and bags.

Inflammation and allergies: this can cause puffiness, bags and under eye circles over time.

Treatment Options For Under Eye Circles, Bags & Tear Troughs?

Luckily, there are a wide range of treatment options if you suffer from under eye circles or bags. The first thing is to ensure that you have a good skincare routine which includes using an under eye cream that contains ingredients like Vitamin C, Vitamin K and ferulic acid which help with under eye circles. Another important skincare tip is to ensure that the under eye skin is kept moisturised so having hyaluronic acid in your under eye cream would help immensely.

If the problem is purely due to thin skin or pigmentation issues, then advanced skin treatments like chemical peels and collagen induction therapy can help brighten and firm up the under eye skin. For tear trough deformities and under eye bags, hyaluronic acid tear trough fillers can treat the hollowness under the eyes and rejuvenate the eye area. For more defined tear trough deformities, cheek fillers can help provide support for the tear trough fillers.

Are You Losing Volume in Your Face?

Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 21 November 2018

The whole mark of a younger face is one with thick, plump and firm skin. Additionally, younger faces have fuller volumes due to the size and location of the facial fat pads. As we age, our faces lose their fullness because of thinning of the skin, loss of elasticity and shrinking in size of the facial fat pads. This loss of face volume results in the appearance of lines, wrinkles and sagging of the face.

What Causes Loss Of Face Volume?

The main cause of facial volume loss is ageing. Over time, our body produces less collagen, elastin and the fat pads in the face reduce in size. This results in thinner and less pliable skin as well as sagging of the face. Similarly, changes in hormonal profile, in particular, oestrogen, can help accelerate this process. Lifestyle factors such as smoking and sun damage also contribute to skin ageing as well as loss of facial volume.

How Does Losing Volume Affect The Appearance Of Your Face?

Loss of skin volume leads to thinner and less elastic skin. This gives rise to wrinkles and uneven texture. At the same time, reduction in the volume of the fat pads, as well as their descent with gravity, occurs. This gives rise to a flatter profile and sagging of the skin in the mid and lower face. Hence this can lead to a gaunt appearance. It is due to this loss of facial fat volume that gives rise to tear trough deformities, hollowing of the temples, malar flattening, nose to mouth lines, jowls and marionette lines.

How To Add And Restore Volume To Your Face Naturally

In my opinion, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are highly effective for restoring facial volume. This is because they can replace lost volume, help firm up and lift skin, smooth down wrinkles and deliver natural looking results. How much, which type of filler and where to pace them depends on the degree of facial volume loss and your overall face shape.

The main ways Dermal fillers can help with face volume loss are:

– Cheek fillers for contouring and midface lifting

– Tear trough fillers for undereye circles and shadows

– Restoration of lip shape, definition and volume with lip fillers

– Combat sagging, marionette lines and jowls with jawline and lower face fillers

Additionally, face fillers can be combined with Botox as part of my signature liquid facelift to refresh and smooth the face. Collagen induction therapy can also boost the effects of dermal fillers by inducing elastin and collagen formation for thicker and plumper skin.

Square Jaw Reduction: No Surgery Slim Your Face

Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 17 November 2018

The shape of the jaw is dependent on the bone, muscles, fat and skin the comprise it. There are many factors that affect the appearance of the jaw including genetics and lifestyle. Some people seek to enhance the shape of the jaw (usually if there is sagging of the lower face or if they are seeking a more defined appearance) by having jawline contouring. This can widen or narrow and shorten or lengthen the appearance of the jawline as required. Jawline contouring can also help lift and firm up the appearance of a sagging lower face. For those with a wide jaw, square jaw reduction can help produce a narrower V-shaped jawline. Ultimately, the results are dependent on your face shape, targets and the abilities of your aesthetic doctor.

What Causes The Appearance Of A Sagging Or Square Jaw?

The shape of the lower face is made up of several structures including your jaw bones, muscles and soft tissues like fat or skin. Whilst genetics play a huge part in terms of the shape and size of these facial structures, there are a number of other factors that come in to play. The main cause for lack of definition or sagging of the jawline is ageing and reduced face volume. One of the main reasons for developing a square jaw in both men and women can be overactivity of the chewing muscles which is usually caused by tooth grinding. Other factors that can give the appearance of loss of definition, jawline sagging or a square jaw is ageing and loss of volume in the cheeks or lack of chin prominence or neck sagging.

Non-Surgical Jawline Contouring & Square Jaw Reduction

There are a number of non-surgical options for enhancing the jawline and reducing a square jaw. Botox injections are an effective treatment for square jaw reduction which also has the benefit of stopping teeth grinding. These Botox injections can also be used to lift a sagging neck and hence sculpt the lower face and jawline.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be used alone or in combination with Botox for jawline contouring. Dermal fillers can be used to directly reshape the jawline and lift up the lower face. A combination of jawline, cheek and chin dermal fillers to contour the jawline and the whole face.

If the aim is to reduce the appearance of a square jaw or face, then a combination of Botox and dermal fillers can be used to provide a more contoured and V-line jaw appearance.

How to Get Rid of Forehead Wrinkles

Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 15 November 2018

Forehead wrinkles are horizontal lines that appear on the forehead due to contraction of the muscles that raise the eyebrows. Frown lines are verticle wrinkles that appear between the eyes when you squint or frown. Both these wrinkles initially appear when you are moving the muscles responsible but over time can become ingrained and apparent even when your face is still. Whilst natural, most people seek treatment as they feel these lines make them look grumpy, anxious or even angry.

What Causes Forehead Wrinkles & Frown Lines?

Both forehead wrinkles and frown lines are predominantly caused by ageing. As we get older we lose both collagen and elastin. These two proteins form the scaffolding of the skin. Hence, they are responsible for keeping your skin firm, elastic and plump. As thin becomes thinner and less stretchy, wrinkles develop. Initially, this is when the muscles underlying them contracts such as when you raise your eyebrows or frown. Eventually, forehead wrinkles and frown lines become deeper and visible even when you aren’t moving your face. Sun damage, or photoaging, are also a cause.

Treatment Options For Forehead Wrinkles & Frown Lines

Thankfully there are a number of treatment options for forehead wrinkles and frown lines. The first step is to ensure that you have a good skincare routine which helps hydrate, nourish and protect your skin.

Botox® For Forehead Wrinkles & Frown Lines

Botox® injections are highly effective for wrinkles and lines that are only apparent when you make an expression. The treatment is quick and pain-free with results lasting for 3-4 months.

Dermal Fillers For Forehead Wrinkles & Frown Lines

If your wrinkles and lines are deeper and appear at rest then Botox® is likely to not completely smooth them out. Dermal filler anti-wrinkle injections, however, can very effectively treat these areas and results last between 6-12 months.

Professional Skin Treatments For Frown Lines & Forehead Wrinkles

Botox® and dermal fillers offer immediate smoothing out of lines and wrinkles by reducing muscle contraction (Botox®) or by filling out and lifting the skin (dermal fillers). Professional skin treatments are really useful if you’re looking to address the underlying cause of wrinkles in the long term. A combination of a course of chemical peels and microneedling will resurface the skin and induce collagen and elastin production. This will smooth out lines and wrinkles, firm and plump up the skin as well as give a youthful glowing complexion. In the long term, these bespoke skin rejuvenating treatments could reduce the need for treatments like Botox and dermal fillers.

WHAT ARE CROW’S FEET & SMILE LINES?

Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 12 November 2018

Crow’s feet, also known as smile lines, are wrinkles that appear on the outer corners of the eye. They are caused by contraction of the muscles responsible for squinting, smiling, laughing or frowning. Initially, these wrinkles are only visible when you smile or laugh but over time, like all wrinkles, they become deeper. Ingrained Crow’s feet and smile lines are visible whether or not you contract the underlying muscles (ie even when you’re resting the muscles of expression). Crow’s feet can also extend upwards towards the temple and downwards to affect the cheeks when they are more advanced and as volume is lost in these areas of the face with age.

What causes crow’s feet & smile lines?

The main reason Crow’s feet or smile lines develop is due to loss of collagen and elastin in the skin. These proteins are the skin’s natural plumpers and provide elasticity. Hence losing them causes skin to become thinner and for wrinkles to become apparrent. Loss of collagen and elastin occurs naturally as we age. Of course, the other cause of the appearance of wrinkles is sun damage.

Treatments for crow’s feet & smile lines

First of all its important to start with basics like understanding your skin type and following a basic skincare routine. Simple lifestyle modifications such as sun protection, keeping hydrated and stopping smoking will also help slow down the development of crow’s feet or smile lines.

Chemical Peels & Collagen Induction Therapy

There are a number of effective treatments for existing Crow’s feet and smile lines. The simplest option for very early signs of fine lines and wrinkles would be a course of chemical peels and/or microneedling. These resurface the skin and induce collagen and elastin production. Hence, over time these smooth out wrinkles and prevent them from developing further.

Botox Injections

If you have Crow’s feet that are only evident on making expression, these can be treated very easily with Botox anti-wrinkle injections. For Crow’s feet or smile lines that are deeper (ie visible without making any expressions), then using hyaluronic acid dermal fillers would provide a better option.

Dermal Fillers

For more advanced Crow’s feet or under eye wrinkles and tear trough deformities, a combination of different dermal fillers can offer a natural looking solution. If you have smile lines that extend deep onto the cheeks, then you might which to consider both cheek fillers and wrinkle smoothing with dermal filler in order to restore volume and lift the wrinkles. For co-existing under eye hollows and wrinkles, the addition of tear trough fillers would help to completely rejuvenate the under eye area.

WHAT ARE JOWLS & MARIONETTE LINES?

Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 9 November 2018

What are jowls & marionette lines?

Jowls are loose skin and flesh that hang beneath the lower jawline. Marionette lines or “puppet lines” are lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin. Both are a sign of ageing and volume loss in the face. One of the most commonly cited reasons for wanting to get rid of them is because they give the appearance of being grumpy or sad.

What causes jowls & marionette lines?

The main cause of both jowls and marionette lines is ageing. As we get older our skin becomes thinner and less pliable. This is due to loss of collagen and elastin. At the same time, we also lose volume in the face (particularly in the midface area) which provides scaffolding and shape. Both these processes result in sagging of the skin and tissues which gives rise to jowls and marionette lines in the lower face. Other factors which exacerbate skin ageing are smoking, sun-damage and genetics.

Treatment options for jowls & marionette lines

There are a number of treatment options for jowls and marionette lines. First of all, it is very important to ensure that you follow a regular skincare routine tailored to your skin type. Two highly effective and non-surgical options are Botox® and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Which of these (if any) is suitable for you will depend on your expectations and the severity of the lines.

Botox® For Jowls & Marionette Lines

For moderate jowls, I offer jawline tightening with Botox® as part of our non-surgical neck lift. This treatment can soften the appearance of early jowling and provide a more defined jawline and sculpted neck. Whilst its possible to soften the appearance of marionette lines with Botox®, I do not think that this is the most effective treatment on its own. However, in some circumstances, I combine Botox with dermal fillers for treating marionette lines.

Dermal Fillers For Jowls & Marionette Lines

Since both Jowls and Marionette lines are caused by volume loss and sagging skin in the face, dermal fillers provide the opportunity to treat the underlying problem. For moderately severe lines, I can directly inject hyaluronic acid dermal filler into and around these creases to soften and minimize their appearance. For more severe jowling and marionette lines, I recommend hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to the cheeks to lift the face in addition to adding filler to the areas themselves.

If you have both jowls and marionette lines as well as other signs of ageing such as upper face wrinkles, then you can opt for a combination of Botox® and dermal fillers.

How Can Dermal Fillers Help?

Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 4 November 2018

Tired of looking and feeling older than you’d like? Flatter, sagging skin with deepening groves and wrinkles combined with thinning lips lead to a hollow, aged look.

How Can Dermal Fillers Help?

As you get older collagen breaks down in your face and it can become flat and saggy. Fillers simply replace the collagen you lose through ageing, raising flatter areas and restoring your youthful look. They can also be used to enhance your existing facial features. Once the treatment is gently injected into the target area it will pull in water to hydrate your skin. It also has antioxidant qualities providing instantly smoother skin with better results than any top brand moisturising creams. Results last between 6-12+ months. No none will guess you have had a filler treatment but you will feel more refreshed, confident and glamorous.

The use of injectable facial fillers

Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 2 November 2018

The use of injectable facial fillers is one of the fastest growing areas in the field of cosmetic surgery. Many advances in have been made in the last 5 years that have led to safer, more predictable and longer lasting fillers.

As one ages, the face loses volume. This creates more prominent wrinkles and skin folds while features become less distinct. Dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movement such as smiling and frowning appear. Injectables were designed to subtly reduce these signs of aging.

Most fillers work by restoring the volume of a part of the face or filling the lip or wrinkle and are gradually digested by the body. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: These were the first of the new fillers to be FDA approved. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring carbohydrate which occurs in skin. It is a clear gel with a thick consistency. Since skin testing is not required, injections may be done on the same day as the initial consultation. Manufacturers have manipulated particle size (thickness) and crosslinked molecules to offer both normal and longer duration products.

Juviderm and Teosyal are examples of normal duration products that are injected in more superficial lines and have easier flow characteristics. Juvederm Voluma and Teosyal Redensity II are examples of longer duration products are usually injected into deeper lines and folds.

The newest advance has been the addition of local anesthetic, Lidocaine, to the filler to reduce discomfort upon injection.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

I felt safe cooperating with him and if the situation presents itself I would cooperate with him again in heart beat.

He is a great friend and an excellent doctor, who could stay at your complete disposal to suggest the best solution for your beauty and wellness. The highest in professionality, the most human and serious in relationship with colleagues and patients. Absolutely the best choice in Dubai and UAE.

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.

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. The truth is, he was very honest and straight to the point suggesting the best solution. I was satisfied with the treatments’ results as they were amazing and on fleek. Thank you so much doctor.

I have recently visited for a consultation and I’m really glad I decided to choose Dr. Vigo for my facial rejuvenation procedure. Sarah (Dr. Vigo’s personal assistant) gladly helped me during my hesitations and assisted me with all the detailed information needed. Results of my procedure is exactly what I wanted! 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.

Why Doctor Matteo Vigo? Because of his inner sense of beauty, the attention to the smallest detail, his perfect touch, his aim for natural yet aesthetic results, his friendly attitude and his willingness to answer to all questions (and mine were sooooo many ;-). If you are looking for a plastic surgeon, you can’t go wrong with him! Highly recommended!!

I was advised to be treated by Dr. Matteo Vigo for my breast reconstruction post-bilateral mastectomy and it was the best decision I have ever made; he is exceptional! Dr. Matteo is an outstanding professional whose human approach and aesthetic vision and accuracy make it the perfect combination for such a life-impacting decision. The result is fantastic and the journey is really smooth and reassuring. Thank you Dr. Matteo for making it all more beautiful.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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:))
