Blepharoplasty: The Aftercare Guide

Blepharoplasty Dubai | 30 May 2019

Blepharoplasty – the surgical procedure of removing excess skin and fat around the eyes to remove eye bags and correct hooded, or drooping eyelids – is one of the simplest and most straightforward plastic surgery procedures you can have. It is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments which improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. A Blepharoplasty procedure can take as little as 30 minutes, but just as any other treatment or surgery, you’ll need to ensure that you follow all the aftercare instructions and advice (how to care for your eyes, medications to apply or take) to allow for a swift and smooth recovery.

What to expect following your Blepharoplasty procedure

Before you leave your cosmetic clinic, your cosmetic surgeon will go through Blepharoplasty aftercare guidelines with you and answer any questions you may have. Patient advisors should contact you regularly to follow-up on your progress and you should also be given 24-hour emergency numbers, to keep your mind at ease knowing that you can get in touch with your clinic whenever you feel the need to. On the day of your procedure, it is suggested that a family member or friend pick you up from the clinic and stay with you for the first 24 to 48 hours, until you are settled in and feel comfortable about acting autonomously.

While you’re comfortable at home, it is recommended that you follow the below general guidelines:

– Avoid lying down flat. By keeping your head elevated, you can reduce some of the swelling while also being more comfortable. Use 3-4 pillows when sleeping. A 45-degree angle is best and a travel pillow will provide support for your neck. During the first week, make sure to sleep on your back.

– Try not to bend forward or over for the next three weeks as this can increase swelling.

– For the first 24 hours, try and eat only liquid, nutritious food so as to exert your face as little as possible.

– DRINK WATER. We can’t stress enough how important it is for you to stay hydrated.

– Don’t skip any of your medication. It’s in your own interest to take it exactly as prescribed. When your pain lessens, you can switch to over-the-counter medicine like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.

– Don’t remove any steri-strips. It might be slightly uncomfortable, but please try not to touch the crusting around your stitches.

– Quit smoking and alcohol for at least 6 weeks prior to surgery and 3 months after. That way you’ll be ensuring that your body’s healing ability is performing at full capacity.

– Contact lenses shouldn’t be worn for 2 weeks.

– Wait at least a week until you start driving again. Use common sense – if you have trouble seeing, don’t drive.

– Use an SPF 30 sunblock or higher, regardless of your activities or the weather as your skin will be sensitive.

– Don’t use any fragranced skincare products. If you feel the need to apply skincare products, do so cautiously and stay away from the incision areas to avoid infection.

– Don’t apply any makeup until at least a week after your stitches have been taken out and the wounds have sealed. It’s best to avoid applying it until your eyes have completely healed in order to avoid scarring and infection. Note that using new products will further lessen the risk of infection.

– Don’t do any exercise other than walking, which is necessary daily so as to prevent blood clot formation.

The healing process

Depending on your body, you will be advised to take around 1 week off work. It’s normal to experience some bruising and swelling during your initial healing process. This isn’t anything to be alarmed about, and your surgeon and aftercare advisor will talk you through how to control any discomfort. Very few of our patients report any pain experienced with the bruising. Despite it being a minimal procedure, patients have expressed great joy at having opted for it. Women in particular, have been impressed at how much easier their morning routines are now that they can easily apply makeup, without having to deal with troublesome creases and folds. Most just tell of how much younger and more refreshed they feel thanks to these small tweaks.

What Are Dermal Fillers Used For?

Fillers in Dubai | 23 May 2019

Dermal fillers do not refer to a single production line, so there are differences in what parts of the face each and every one of them is meant to address. However, they all perform the same basic function at the end of the day – taking care of those lines and wrinkles that set in to depict aging on the face. For a more comprehensive list of where the known dermal fillers work on, we have:

– Nasolabial fold – those lines from the mouth to the nose

– Melomental fold – the lines from the mouth to the chin

– Lines occurring above the upper lip and

– Lines formed on the face due to frowns, among others.

– Besides the treatment of lines, though, dermal fillers have found application in other areas too.

For one, they are used to return volume to the cheekbones after they start sinking due to age. Furthermore, the lips have also started enjoying from the wide application of dermal fillers. Known to supply volume to thinner lips for a fuller feel, the level of safety they bring to this operation make them the ideal pick for many undergoing any of the procedures mentioned above.

What are the alternatives to tummy tuck?

Tummy Tuck Dubai | 20 May 2019

What are the alternatives to tummy tuck?

Although it’s not strictly an alternative, you might be able to have liposuction to reshape your abdomen. This is where your surgeon uses a special machine to suck out excess fat from under your skin. You can have it on its own instead of a tummy tuck, but it only removes fat, whereas a tummy tuck removes fat and skin. After liposuction, your skin will shrink back a little, if you’re younger and your skin is still quite elastic. But if you have loose skin or muscles before the operation, then liposuction alone won’t be effective. Liposuction might be helpful if you’re not generally overweight, but have localised areas of fat that you want to get rid of. If you have excess skin, liposuction alone won’t be effective. Liposuction may occasionally be an added part of a tummy tuck procedure. As with any medical procedure, liposuction can have side-effects and longer-term complications. Your surgeon will tell you about the potential risks and benefits of tummy tuck and any other treatment options available to you.

What happens during a tummy tuck?

Depending on how much fat and skin you’re having removed and the technique your surgeon is using, the operation can take between two and four hours. There are several types of tummy tuck. The one you have will depend on how much skin and fat you have removed. Your surgeon will discuss this with you and explain which type is most suitable for you and why. Occasionally, liposuction may also be done at the same time as your tummy tuck, but your surgeon will explain whether this is needed.

Standard tummy tuck

Your surgeon will make a cut in your abdomen from hip to hip along your pubic area (in women this is also called your bikini line). They’ll make another cut around your belly button to free it from the surrounding skin. Then the repair will tighten your abdominal muscles and remove excess fat and skin. The remaining skin is pulled down and a new hole is made for your belly button so that it is in the correct position. You’ll have a scar around your belly button and a long curved scar on your abdomen above your pubic area. Because of the normal pattern of pubic hair, the scar is generally higher in men than in women. You can usually hide these scars with your underwear or with swimwear such as a bikini or shorts, but this may not always be possible. This will differ from person to person and on the type of tummy tuck you have. Your surgeon will explain the scars you’re likely to have.

Mini tummy tuck

You can have a mini tummy tuck if you only need to have a small amount of skin or fat removed. Your surgeon will remove excess skin and fat from below your belly button and you usually have liposuction at the same time. Afterwards, you’ll have a curved scar on your abdomen above your pubic area. This may be slightly shorter than with a standard tummy tuck. Your belly button stays in the same place, but it may be a slightly different shape.

Blepharoplasty – Eyelid Lift Surgery & Recovery

Blepharoplasty Dubai | 17 May 2019

Eyelid Lift Surgery & Recovery

Cosmetic eyelid surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, and typically lasts from 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending upon whether or not you are having another procedure performed at the same time. Depending on the extent of your eyelid surgery, you will be given general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation. Most trained, board certified cosmetic surgeons today use advanced techniques that eliminate the need to bandage the eyes after surgery, although you may be given an eye lubricant that somewhat blurs your vision at first. When preparing for your surgery, it is a good idea to have some of your favorite music or audiobooks on hand to listen to as you spend the first few days resting at home. During the first 1 to 2 weeks after eyelid surgery, patients commonly have some visible bruising and swelling, and your eyelids may feel unusually tight. However, most patients report feeling more soreness than pain. Using cold compresses and keeping your head elevated while you sleep can help alleviate discomfort.

Life After Eyelid Surgery

Most patients feel well enough to make short trips (do not drive yourself until your cosmetic surgeon gives you clearance to do so) after about a week, and return to their jobs 10-14 days after an eyelid lift. It’s always important to follow your cosmetic surgeon’s instructions after any procedure, and after eyelid surgery you will have to make a few special but relatively simple modifications to ensure your newly rejuvenated eyelids heal optimally. Expect your eyes to get tired more quickly than usual for the first few weeks, and it’s important to let them rest as needed. If your job requires you constantly to be at a computer, consider resuming work part-time initially, then gradually increasing your workload as you continue to recover.

You must protect your eyes from the sun and wind. Wear dark sunglasses with frames that provide plenty of coverage whenever you go outdoors, and follow your cosmetic surgeons’ instructions about applying sunscreen after eyelid surgery. You will have to avoid lifting, straining, and bending down to pick things up for up to 4 weeks after eyelid surgery. This can be an inconvenient restriction, but it is crucial that you do not induce sudden increases in blood pressure until your incisions have healed adequately.

Keeping Your Results Looking Their Best

With a healthy lifestyle and good skincare habits, the results of cosmetic eyelid surgery should last for years. With the excess, sagging skin gone, your eyes will always look better refreshed and more youthful than they would have without an eyelid lift. Likewise, if you have lower eyelid surgery, those puffy eye bags will be gone. While nothing can stop the normal aging process, your results will age naturally with you.

You can keep your eyes looking more youthful by wearing sunscreen daily, becoming or remaining a non-smoker, and practicing good nutrition and health habits. Non-surgical treatments, such as Botox or filler injections or skin resurfacing, can also help you touch up your youthful appearance by smoothing wrinkles around the face and eyes. Your cosmetic surgeon can recommend the treatment options that will best meet your needs.

 

Dermal Fillers – What to Expect During Treatment

Fillers in Dubai | 16 May 2019

What to Expect During Treatment

Dermal filler injections are non-surgical and typically completed during an office visit. Your initial treatment will begin with a consultation, during which you will meet with your cosmetic surgeon to discuss your concerns and goals.

Pre-treatment consultation

During your consultation, your cosmetic surgeon will evaluate your area of concern and review your medical history. While the risks associated with dermal fillers are minimal, you need to fully disclose your medical history prior to treatment, as certain allergies, skin and neurological conditions, or medications can jeopardize your safety or results. For instance, you need to tell your cosmetic surgeon if you have been taking NSAIDs (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen) or blood thinners, as these increase the likelihood of bruising.

Your injectable filler treatment

Just before the actual treatment, the area will be cleaned, and you may be given a topical anesthetic to numb the area prior to injection. Many filler products also contain lidocaine, a mild anesthetic, which is intended to help minimize discomfort during and after your treatment. Your provider will then inject a precise amount of filler strategically beneath the skin. Depending on the product and the areas treated, you should be able to notice results immediately after receiving filler injections. Some patients experience mild bruising and swelling, but these are temporary and should subside over the days following treatment. You will be able to go back to your normal activities right after treatment, but your cosmetic surgeon may ask you to take the day off from exercise or other strenuous activity.

If you are having fat injections

Facial fat grafting is a surgical procedure and follows a different treatment protocol. Typically, fat grafting is performed as an outpatient procedure, using general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Up to 2 weeks of downtime may be required, depending on the extent of liposuction performed. Your cosmetic surgeon will go over what to expect with surgery and recovery during your consultation.

Preparing for a Tummy Tuck

Tummy Tuck Dubai | 14 May 2019

Your surgeon will explain how to prepare for your operation. For example, if you smoke you will be asked to stop up to eight weeks before your surgery. Smoking increases your risk of getting a chest and wound infection, which can significantly slow your recovery. Coughing from a chest infection will make recovery much more painful. Smoking also reduces the amount of blood that reaches your skin, which means your wounds may heal more slowly.

Your surgeon may also advise you to:

– lose excess weight – you should be as close to the ideal weight for your height as possible before your operation

– stop taking the contraceptive pill four to six weeks before your operation, to reduce the chances of a blood clot (thrombosis) – make sure you use an alternative method of contraception

You have tummy tuck surgery under a general anaesthetic. This means you’ll be asleep during the operation. Before a general anaesthetic, you are normally asked not to eat or drink for six hours beforehand. Your surgeon or anaesthetist will give you specific advice on what you may or may not eat or drink and for how long before the operation.

Your surgeon will make sure you understand what will happen before, during and after your operation. They’ll also explain what to expect when you wake up and what level of discomfort or pain you might have. This is your opportunity to ask any remaining questions you have about the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure. This will help you to be informed, so you can give your consent for the operation to go ahead. You’ll be asked to sign a consent form. Your surgeon may ask you to wear compression stockings from the time of your operation until you are fully up and about again. This helps to prevent blood clots forming in the veins in your legs.

Forehead and brow rejuvenation

Cosmetic Surgery Dubai | 12 May 2019

The brow lift is the method of choice for rejuvenative surgery of the upper third of the face. It can revitalise the entire forehead, smooth out frown lines and wrinkles, and restore the position of the eyebrows. A brow lift will also raise and tighten loose skin of the upper eyelid and open up the eyes. Although the forehead is much less prone to ageing and gravitational descent than the mid and lower third of the face, it is sometimes necessary to include the forehead in combination with eyelid surgeries or a facelift as part of a complete facial rejuvenation. Since the brow and forehead are close to the eyes, most concerns related to this zone stem from sagging brow tissues that in some way affect the eye area; either by drooping skin reducing the size of the eyes, heavy brows affecting their appearance or by physical impairment of upper eyelid function. The second most frequent concern relates to folds and frown lines in the central part of the forehead, which may communicate a heavy or fatigued appearance.

Reasons for lifting the forehead and brow tissues include reversal of the gradual age-related droop (ptosis) of soft tissue which is a natural process of facial ageing, though more pronounced in some individuals. Secondly, brow lifts can be used to adjust a congenitally low and heavy brow and correct asymmetry (due to conditions such as facial palsy where lack of muscle function will result in an asymmetric sagging of forehead soft tissue).

Forehead and brow rejuvenation

Forehead and brow rejuvenation is customised to suit individual features: lifting of the brow, repositioning of descended tissues, adjustment of skin, and modulation of the muscle function responsible for lines and creases. The forehead, brow and eyes are areas where gentle adjustments can lead to major improvements. A lift of just 4-6 mm is often sufficient to open up the eyes and restore the youthful position of the eyebrows. Forehead rejuvenation usually requires lifting the outer half of the brow, as the mid-section is anatomically more stable and less prone to gravitational descent. A delicate upwards curve of the brow is aesthetically appealing. The overall aim is to position the outer part (end point) of the brow slightly higher than the inner part (the start point) with a gentle arch in-between.

Why do people choose breast augmentation or breast enlargement surgery?

Breast Enlargement Dubai | 10 May 2019

People choose this operation for different reasons:

– To enhance the body contour
– To reconstruct the breast after previous breast surgery
– To improve breast size after having children
– To balance a difference in breast size.
– What are the benefits of breast enlargement surgery?

Perhaps you have always wanted larger breasts. Or you may want to enhance the shape of your breasts following pregnancy or weight loss. Breast enlargement patients often report psychological benefits following the procedure including:

– Increased self esteem (self confidence)
– Enjoy wearing new/fitted clothing
– Feeling more feminine
– Body balance, feeling breast are more in proportion with your body.

Benefits of BOTOX for Facial Rejuvenation

Fillers in Dubai | 8 May 2019

BOTOX® is one of the most effective cosmetic treatments for wrinkled facial skin. Most adults begin to experience dynamic wrinkles, which are the wrinkles that form when the facial muscles are contracted. The relaxing or pulling of the skin surface causes the formation smile lines and crow’s feet around the corners of the eyes and mouth. Thinning skin that is no longer retaining moisture and has less collagen is more easily wrinkled, and the appearance of these smile lines can have a negative effect on one’s appearance. No surgery, no chemical peels and no abrasive resurfacing are involved.

Benefits of BOTOX®

BOTOX® doesn’t treat the skin directly. Rather, it inhibits transmission of signals from the nerve endings to the upper-level facial muscles. This means that smoothing of the skin surface is realized without the need for surgery or any sort of skin repositioning. Another benefit of this treatment is that it actually trains the muscles to stay relaxed. The effect of BOTOX® lasts for anywhere up to six months. During this time, the facial muscles that control our appearance when we smile or frown never contract fully. Subsequent treatments typically use less of the fluid because the muscles stay in a relaxed state. BOTOX® doesn’t paralyze the muscles or deaden the nerve endings in the skin. This means that the individual won’t be overcome by a feeling of numbness, and it’s just as easy to frown, smile and laugh as it was before the treatment was administered. The only difference is that these expressions won’t result in wrinkles.

How It Works

I always consult with our client before administering this treatment. I look at the face closely and note the appearance of dynamic wrinkles when certain facial expressions are made. This helps me determine the best injection sites and the best amount of solution to use for the treatment. BOTOX® is injected just beneath the skin and directly into the upper-level muscle tissues. The treatment begins to work almost immediately, so you may see some results just after receiving your injections. However, the real results show themselves in the following days. After a few days, clients notice that the skin around the mouth or eyes no longer wrinkles when smiling or frowning occurs. This effect alone can make the individual look much younger. Injections can be repeated at regular intervals. If you are in generally good health, you will likely make a good candidate for this treatment.

A beautiful neck contour is not just merely related with youthful look, but also with vitality and overall well being

Cosmetic Surgery Dubai | 6 May 2019

Performed as an isolated procedure or integrated within a facelift surgery, a neck lift will correct one of the earliest age-related concerns. A number of different techniques can be combined to suit each individual, allowing for a comprehensive recontouring and rejuvenation of the neck. A defined neckline gives an attractive and appealing appearance and conveys a sense of health, fitness and vitality. Changes to the neck and lower jawline are the most obvious and earliest signs of facial ageing and usually one of the main objectives for patients seeking facial rejuvenation. Some patients may present with hereditary problems of their neck contours and seek an early aesthetic improvement, which may not necessarily be related to ageing. A neck lift, also known as a platysmaplasty, can restore neck contours by modifying the underlying muscles (platysma), redraping skin, interrupting vertical neck bands and removing excess fat. Neck lifting can be performed as an isolated procedure or integrated with a facelift. In both cases it will provide a more youthful and defined appearance to the neck and jawline. Each patient will present with a different set of anatomical concerns, these generally fall into two main categories: (1) a heavy and full neck (often hereditary), or (2) a neck with age-related changes such as skin laxity, skin creases, jowls, vertical muscle bands (platysma bands) and accumulated sub-platysmal fat. In both cases there are several effective options for shaping and rejuvenation of the neck.

Isolated neck lift

The isolated neck lift is suitable for patients who want to treat their neck specifically and have no concerns with the face. This procedure is usually indicated for younger patients and men who generally do well with an isolated neck lift rather than a full facelift. The isolated neck lift is designed to reshape an undesirable neck appearance, often by reducing volume and achieving a sharper and more defined angle between the jaw and neck (cervicomental angle). This is achieved by reducing fat in the deeper layers of the neck and adjusting the platysma muscle position. Removal of superficial fat (liposuction) and/or the placement of a chin implant for further improved definition of the chin and jawline, may also be indicated. Access to and modification of the neck tissues are achieved by an earlobe-based incision (behind the ear) and if required, combined with a discreet incision in the crease below the chin (submental approach).

Integrated neck lift

The integrated neck lift is appropriate for a generalised rejuvenation of the face. A two-layer SMAS face-neck lift procedure will provide rejuvenation of the entire face from the corner of the eyes down to the collarbone, this includes the mid-face, cheeks, jawline and the neck. In the ageing neck, the aim is a restoration of a youthful and aesthetic contour by repositioning sagging tissues, tightening the neck muscle (platysma) and removing accumulated fat and loose skin. Access to and modification of the neck is achieved via the facelift incision located in front and behind the ear.

Techniques

Several components in the neck can be treated to achieve the desired results. The neck tissues consist of superficial fat, deep fat (sub-platysma fat), muscle (platysma), deeper neck muscles and the overlying skin. Because there are wide variations in neck anatomy among individuals, it is necessary to customise the surgery for each patient. During consultation, I will examine the neck, measure facial proportions and discuss individual requirements and goals, in order to formulate an effective treatment plan. Patients can generally determine in what anatomical plane their problems are located, by actively tightening their flat platysma muscle; if their concerns are mobile and located above the muscle (as a double chin), superficial adjustments may be sufficient to address their concerns. If undesirable full contours are located below the muscle, deeper adjustments are required.

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!!!

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

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.

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.

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

Dr. Vigo is extremely competent and professional. In my experience, he has always recommended a procedure on the patient’s interest, sometimes even against its own. It’s a privilege to have him in Dubai.

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 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 can not recommend Dr Vigo enough….I have recently had a tummy tuck and breast reduction. The results are absolutely amazing and have changed my life. Dr Vigo is extremely professional on every level and is undoubtedly the best cosmetic surgeon in Dubai! Thank you…I feel amazing!!

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:))
