THE NOSE IS AN AREA OF INSECURITY FOR A NUMBER OF PATIENTS. NON-SURGICAL RHINOPLASTY ALSO CALLED A NOSE JOB, IS A SAFE ALTERNATIVE TO SURGERY
AESTHETIC MEDICINE DUBAI | 23 JANUARY 2023
Up until recently, altering the nose required a painful surgical operation, an overnight hospital stay, and a protracted recuperation period. Dermal fillers are used during non-surgical nose reshaping, commonly referred to as non-surgical rhinoplasty, to change or contour your nose and smooth out any lumps and abnormalities. Because it’s a great option for people who don’t want surgery, the non-surgical nose job has become a common treatment for people of all ages. One of the biggest benefits of nose reshaping fillers is that you may go back to work the following day and carry on with your regular routine. No more hospital stays, absences, or protracted recuperation times.
Let me help you feel satisfied with what you see in the mirror by performing a simple, scalpel-free surgery that is highly effective and walk-in, walk-out. A highly sophisticated treatment is nonsurgical rhinoplasty, sometimes known as nonsurgical nose job. To balance your profile and sculpt your nose, I’ll utilise top-quality hyaluronic acid nose fillers. As a result, this treatment is specifically designed to meet your aesthetic objectives and unique face shape.
NON SURGICAL RHINOPLASTY WITH NOSE FILLERS
The non surgical rhinoplasty is an advanced corrective procedure. Using hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, the nose can be reshaped with just a small number of injections in a short period of time with little to no downtime involved. As such, the non surgical rhinoplasy has become extremely popular with both men and women alike. This treatment is performed using premium hyaluronic acid to reshape the nose and provide harmony to the face.
I use nose fillers to alter the definition, projection, profile and shape of the nose. As such, non surgical rhinoplasty is best for straightening, lengthening, smoothing out bumps or dents and improving asymmetries in the nose. The key benefits of my personalised non surgical rhinoplasty include:
– Safe & effective treatment using premium dermal fillers
– Fully bespoke non surgical rhinoplasty nose reshaping treatment
– Profile balancing by treating the chin area if needed
– All treatments performed by an experienced aesthetic doctor
– Premium hyaluronic acid dermal fillers
– Natural looking results
– Dedicated aftercare and follow-up
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THIS TREATMENT OVER TRADITIONAL RHINOPLASTY?
Aesthetic Medcine now has more and more options for performing non-surgical procedures. Being non-surgical it means less risk, less downtime, fewer side effects and yet with very similar results. The new non-surgical nose job using dermal fillers means I can do so much in minutes and with no pain. Surgical rhinoplasty, however, takes a month or longer to recover from and results are not always perfect. I was one of the first doctors a few years ago who developed the technique of the non-surgical procedure now done by doctors all over the UAE.
WHAT DOES THE NON SURGICAL RHINOPLASTY PROCEDURE INVOLVE?
All of my non surgical rhinoplasties start with a detailed consultation. This allows me to design a bespoke treatment based on your individual needs and aesthetic goals. The treatment starts with a thoroughcleansing of the skin then applying a numbing cream for your comfort. I will then inject the nose filler using either a needle. I may also inject the chin area to help balance the profile of yourself as part of the procedure.
WHO IS BEST SUITED FOR A NON SURGICAL RHINOPLASTY?
Non surgical rhinoplasty is a quick and non invasive method to shape the appearance of the nose. This treatment uses hyaluronic acid dermal fillers which are temporary and slowly broken down by your body over time. I am able to deliver excellent results using nose fillers for:
– Mildly crooked nose to improve symmetry
– Small nose that needs building up
– Hook-shaped nose that requires straightening
– Mild or moderate bump on the bridge of the nose that needs smoothing
– A mild to moderate drooping of nasal tip that
– Noses that would like more height, definition and a nose tip
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS AND HOW LONG DO THEY LAST FOR?
You will be able to see the result immediately and the full effect at 1-2 weeks. The results can last for up to 18-24 months. This is dependant on which of our hyaluronic acid dermal fillers you choose and how quickly your body breaks it down. I will help you decide which dermal filler is best for your needs.
HOW SAFE IS A NON-SURGICAL NOSE JOB?
Juvéderm and Restylane Perlane, which are usually used in this procedure, are biocompatible and biodegradable products which means that it is not harmful to the body and is broken down and removed from the body naturally. These hyaluronic acid nose fillers come in the form of a sterile gel produced in the laboratory.
GYNAECOMASTIA FOR MEN | CHEST REDUCTION
PLASTIC SURGERY DUBAI | 21 JANUARY 2023
One or both of their breasts may appear excessively big to some guys. This disorder, referred to as gynaecomastia, can be brought on by an imbalance in hormones or by being extremely overweight, which can raise oestrogen levels and cause breast tissue to expand. For men with this problem, breast reduction surgery is a possibility. After a significant weight reduction that has caused the skin to sag, it can also be utilised to tighten the breast area. It is not appropriate for males whose huge breasts are just extra fat from being overweight, though.
WHAT IS GYNAECOMASTIA?
Gynaecomastia is the benign (non-cancerous) growth of male breast tissue and can be due to a number of causes. It may be due to hormone imbalance or as a consequence of medication you are taking. It can also be due to alcohol excess or recreational drug abuse. I will discuss the cause of your gynaecomastia with you. Along with causing swelling of the breast and nipple, gynaecomastia can be uncomfortable and the nipple can become sensitive.
HOW CAN GYNAECOMASTIA BE TREATED?
Some gynecomastia situations will improve on their own without any sort of medical intervention. Gynecomastia may subside with the substitution or discontinuation of a certain medicine if it is believed to be brought on by one of your prescription drugs. Gynaecomastia can be painful and unattractive, but it is not harmful and will not cause any harm if you have it. Many men are content with no treatment after cancer has been ruled out. The use of medication is another kind of treatment. These drugs frequently work well to lessen pain and sensitivity, although they might not shrink the breasts. The third treatment option entails breast surgery.
SURGICAL TREATMENT OF GYNAECOMASTIA
There are three main surgical procedures which can be undertaken:
Liposuction
Liposuction is used to remove the fatty tissue under a general anaesthetic. Small incisions (cuts) are made on the chest wall. A small metal tube (cannula) is used to suck out the fatty tissue. The incisions are then sutured to give a flatter, firmer and better-contoured chest. Any stitches will be of the dissolving type and so do not need to be removed.
Excision of gynaecomastia
In excisional surgery, I will make a cut around the nipple to remove the breast tissue. This may be combined with liposuction of the breast tissue at the same time.
Male breast reduction
If the breast is very large more tissue and skin may have to be removed. This will give more scars. The degree of scarring will depend on how much skin needs to be removed. I will advise you about this.
AFTER SURGERY
After surgery for gynaecomastia your breasts will look discoloured and feel firm and swollen. Bruises can occur. You may need to have a drain (a fine plastic tube) inserted into the breast during the operation. This will be removed by the breast care nurses seven days after your operation. You should be able to go home the same day. You may be advised to wear a corset for up to four weeks after the operation to help with the swelling. You will not be able to drive home after your operation and it may be two to three days before you can drive.
The dressings can be removed after 7-10 days and you should be able to return to work after one weeks. For the first three weeks after the operation, don’t lift anything heavy or do heavy manual work. Most men resume normal activities within two to three weeks.
FOLLOW UP
You will be given an appointment to return to the clinic in 7-10 days where the dressings and drain(s) will be removed and the wounds inspected. You will also be reviewed after your surgery once the bruising and swelling has completely settled.
LONG TERM OUTLOOK
If liposuction is performed and only fat is removed, weight gain can make the gynaecomastia return. If the breast tissue itself is removed, as in the excision surgery or male breast reduction there is a chance the breast tissue can regrow. You will have medical photography before and after surgery of your chest. There will be nothing which will identify you to anyone else on these and they are used as a record of your treatment.
MOST PEOPLE EVENTUALLY EXPERIENCE THE VISUAL SIGNS OF AGING IN THE FACE AND NECK
PLASTIC SURGERY DUBAI | 15 JANUARY 2023
As muscles and skin lose their flexibility, lines and wrinkles commonly emerge on the neck as the earliest indicators of ageing. The same result may also result from significant weight loss, but whatever the reason, the neck is a frequently disregarded sign of ageing. The goal of this operation is to assist make your neck seem better. The goal of a neck lift, a type of cosmetic surgery, is to rearrange the skin around the neck and jaw, minimising drooping and other outward indications of ageing. A neck lift can enhance the skin’s appearance, giving the patient a more young and revitalised appearance. These procedures often make up a neck lift:
The most common treatment for loose skin that gathers around your throat, sometimes known as “turkey wattle,” is surgery to tighten the surrounding muscles and skin. Vertical bands, lines, and wrinkles can form as elasticity in the skin begins to decline. We can use liposuction to remove extra fat or anti-wrinkle injections to remove the “banding” to tighten the muscles in the neck. We can also remove extra skin.
A neck lift is also sometimes performed in conjunction with a facelift. Neck lift surgery, rather than a full facelift, may be sufficient to achieve the results you desire.
The procedure – If you’re having the full neck lift procedure you will be given the option of going under a general anaesthetic, so you’ll be asleep throughout. Dr. Vigo will make a series of incisions under your chin and behind your ears to access a neck muscle called the platysma. He will use small surgical instruments to make adjustments to the muscle before tightening the skin across the whole neck area. Liposuction may also be used to remove excess fat. The whole procedure usually takes around three to four hours.
If you’re just having liposuction Dr. Vigo will make a small cut beneath your chin to remove any excess fat. This will usually take around an hour. Anti-wrinkle injections – which can relax the parts of the platysma that are responsible for banding – can be given in 15 minutes and will be done on an outpatient basis. Afterwards your neck will be wrapped in compression bandages that you will need to wear for about a week.
ABDOMINOPLASTY: AN EXPERT INSIGHT
ABDOMINOPLASTY DUBAI | 11 JANUARY 2023
Overabundance skin and fat might mutilate the existence of the midriff after pregnancy or weight loss. Particularly, many women discover that their muscles and skin don’t return to their original appearance after having a subsequent child or after having twins, which may result in a repeated stretch in the middle. The “stomach fold” procedure, often known as an abdominoplasty, firms up the midsection by removing excess skin and fat while also repairing the abs. If your weight is stable, you are physically well, you don’t smoke, and you have reasonable expectations, you have a good chance of getting a belly fold.
LIFE SYSTEMS OF THE ABDOMEN
The stomach wall comprises of skin, fat, and muscle. The rectus abdominis muscles, which structure the “six pack” of muscles on the midsection, are covered by a firm sheath called the rectus sash. This fascial layer often debilitates and loosens up with pregnancy and weight gain. Thus, when a patient gets in shape or has her kids, she might be left with laxity of the stomach wall. During medical procedure, the fascial layer over the rectus abdominis muscles is fixed, and the abundance skin and fat are taken out.
MEDICAL PROCEDURE STEPS
An even cut is made inside the two-piece line in the lower midsection while using the abdominoplasty procedure. The cut can be done in a comparable location and extended to the sides in patients who have undergone a prior C-segment. The excess skin and fat are controlled and redraped, while the rectus abdominis muscles of the stomach are corrected. The umbilicus, or navel, must typically be repositioned during an abdominal surgery procedure through a subsequent cut. In the “small scale” abdominoplasty technique, the lower abdominal muscles are fixed with fat and skin removed solely through a constrained flat swimsuit cut, without the navel being repositioned.
EXTRA PROCEDURES
Liposuction is occasionally used in conjunction with abdominal surgery to contour the flanks. A few individuals choose to have a medical operation to raise, add volume, or both on their bosoms at the same time. A “mom makeover” method is frequently used to refer to the combination of a belly fold surgery and a breast lift surgery.

Why Everyone Is Suddenly Talking About Buccal Fat Removal
Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 20 December 2022
Buccal fat can be surgically removed to reduce cheek size and shape the facial profile. The buccal pad is buried deep within the cheek fat. It is positioned between two face muscles beneath the cheekbone. The form of the face is influenced by the size of this fat pad. Everyone possesses them, but the size varies greatly between individuals. This pad can be made smaller through surgery. It will reduce cheek fat or roundness to give a more angular facial shape.
If you have large buccal fat pads, your face will look bigger or rounder. It’s sometimes referred to as a “baby face.” There is nothing wrong with having larger buccal fat pads in the face, but if you’d want them to look smaller, Dr. Matteo Vigo is skilled at doing this fat removal operation. Buccal fat reduction seeks to reduce facial fat, especially in the cheek hollows, to thin out the cheek area. Some people believe that their faces appear excessively broad or huge, despite the fact that having a smooth, flexible face may be associated with youth.
The pad of either patient may vary in size overall and on each side of the face. Typically, patients who get this form of cosmetic surgery do not have faces that appear narrow or thin. As a result, they would appear older and rather haggard. Instead, the goal is to draw attention on the cheekbones. Although having bigger cheeks is completely normal, many patients prefer to have cheekbones that are distinct. After getting this treatment, patients could look better because of a more defined face shape. The best part is that there are no noticeable scars left behind because all incisions are made inside the patient’s lips. It also doesn’t take very long—generally, it only takes a little over an hour.
Lip Lift, The Trendiest Treatment To Get Juicy Lips
Lip Lifting Dubai | 17 December 2022
If you want to change something about your appearance, a lip lift can be the answer. Lip lifts typically increase the size of the lips and eliminate wrinkles. The drooping skin around the mouth caused by heredity, ageing, and sun exposure can also be improved with this procedure. The skin above the mouth is raised from its sagging and drooping condition using a lip lift. When eating and drinking, the lips pushing against the teeth can cause a lot of discomfort. It can also help with issues that could make you look unattractive.
The surgery can be finished under local anaesthesia in as little as one hour with minimal recovery time. Unfortunately, a lot of people are unaware that this technique even exists, and even if they were, they could mistakenly refer to it as lip augmentation. As we age, the skin on our face and neck starts to sag. As a result of the mouth’s natural shape changing, eating and drinking become uncomfortable.
The top lip typically begins to wrinkle, sag, and droop with time as a result of exposure to smoking and other environmental factors. Additionally, the inner mouth lining’s thickness declines, which results in a loss of definition. Another cause of drooping lips and skin is excessive sun exposure. If you spend too much time in the sun without using sunscreen, your lips will often deteriorate before your face does since they are continually exposed to UV light that is bad for your skin.
The majority of the time, the result is a wider, more realistic-looking grin with “younger-looking lips,” according to many patients. It can be performed independently or in tandem with other procedures, like a brow lift, to have even more dramatic results.
What to Expect After Labiaplasty: Recovery
Labiaplasty Dubai | 14 December 2022
During the labiaplasty procedure for vaginal rejuvenation, the length of the labia minora is lowered. Patients can leave the outpatient section the same day after receiving cosmetic surgery procedures. Make sure you have a friend or relative who can drive you home after surgery if you’re having it. Anesthesia is used throughout the procedure.
Despite the good results of a labiaplasty, which is a reasonably straightforward treatment, there is still a recuperation period before you can return to your regular activities. You will learn everything you need to know from this comprehensive manual to expedite the recovery from a labiaplasty. Throughout the procedure, local or general anaesthesia could be administered. Dr. Vigo will decide which option is best for you based on your circumstances. You can always discuss any preferences you may have with Dr. Vigo a few days before the operation. Following the procedure, you can feel some pain and discomfort, but this is normal and will pass in a few days.
Although a cosmetic procedure, labiaplasty offers both aesthetic and useful benefits: The excess tissue that protrudes from the inner vaginal folds—which a labiaplasty removes—can cause pain and discomfort because of friction when the vagina comes into contact with another surface. As a result, performing certain activities like exercising, playing sports, or indulging in sexual activity, as well as donning tight clothing, may make it difficult to function. Many women opt for labiaplasties to give their vagina a clearer, more symmetrical appearance. The labia minora can thicken and extend for a variety of causes, causing additional tissue to protrude from the vaginal lips. Thus, by giving the vaginal area the fashionable “tucked in” appearance, a labiaplasty can rejuvenate the area.
Recovery after Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast Augmentation Dubai | 12 December 2022
The most common cosmetic procedure in recent years is breast augmentation, also known as a “boob job.” For the vast majority of women, recovering from breast augmentation is quick and straightforward. However, there are still some rules you must abide by. You can ensure that your recuperation is quick and stress-free by taking a few simple steps. Discover a few behaviours and lifestyle changes that can hasten your recovery following breast augmentation by reading on.
Always keep your incision clean. You must take care of your incisions for at least five to seven days following surgery. By taking a daily shower, washing with new liquid soap, and rinsing under running water, you can achieve this (no dirty bathtub water). A daily dressing with dry gauze and Bacitracin cream is the following step. The dressings are usually no longer necessary after a week. Incision infection signs including swelling, redness, or discharge should be watched out for. If any of these things occur, kindly get in touch with your plastic surgeon right once.
Following surgery, rigorous exercise may cause complications. For six to eight weeks after the placement of your implants, you must refrain from strenuous activities, including as running, jumping, and moving heavy objects. The wrong workout can damage your incisions, shift your implants, or slow down your recuperation. Hyper-extended stretching should never be done because it can damage muscles or result in bleeding.
Find out exactly when you can start exercising again from Dr. Vigo. Find a reliable estimate of how long your recovery may last before the procedure. So that you do not have to worry about it later, make a plan and take the time off you need to recover fully and healthily. The last thing you need is stress about having to return to work soon because that could prevent your body from mending.
