WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A THIGH LIFT?
Cosmetic Surgery Dubai | 30 December 2020
Aging, childbirth, and significant weight loss—these life-changing, body-altering events can leave you looking saggy in a number of places, especially your thighs. When you were young, life was easy and your skin was smooth and supple. But the dermal tissue loses its “springiness” with time.
If you have gone through any of the above-mentioned ordeals, you may find that your skin won’t be bouncing back this time. Loose skin can not be addressed with diet and exercise. Only body contouring procedures can excise excess tissue. Feel comfortable in your skin again!
A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is designed to improve the appearance of the thighs by reducing excess skin and, in some cases, excess fat. This surgical procedure offers smoother, better-toned thighs with more proportionate contours in relation to the lower body.
What are the benefits of a thigh lift?
Tighter skin on the thighs
Laxity on the thighs can create folds of skin that look unattractive. Most people turn to thigh lift surgery to improve the sagging skin on their inner or outer thighs. A thigh lift removes excess skin and fat to reveal tighter, smoother contours.

Enhanced thigh contours
After massive weight loss, stubborn fat is likely to remain. The appearance of cellulite will likely become more prominent, and skin dimpling will worsen. Thigh lift surgery removes excess folds of skin and fat to reveal more slender and toned thighs.
Improved physical comfort
When there is loose, flabby skin on the thighs, it can make it uncomfortable to wear jeans or partake in daily activities. After thigh lift surgery, you will likely feel comfortable enough to wear different styles of clothing that fit your new thigh contours.
A thigh lift helps correct the most severe cases of loose, sagging skin. Most often, thigh lift patients have gone through a transformation. Sometimes that transformation is motherhood. Other times, excess flesh is what’s left after losing many kilos of body fat as the kind that is seen after bariatric surgery. It is the cruellest of all ironies that these transformations leave embarrassing extra skin behind. Obeying the will of gravity, much of this loose skin tends to pool around the thighs

revitalize the eyes by removing excess skin
Plastic Surgery Dubai | 25 December 2020
Sagging, puffy eyelids can cause the entire face to appear aged, exhausted, or upset. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a procedure that revitalizes the eyes by removing excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can restore radiance and youthfulness to the eye area and correct vision obstruction caused by drooping eyelids. Dr. Vigo offers several eyelid enhancement options to provide his patients with a personalized surgical plan that achieves their unique cosmetic goals. Patients may improve the appearance of their upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both for optimal rejuvenation of the eyes.
REJUVENATE YOUR EYES
Of all our facial features, the eyes tend to attract the most attention. In many cultures, the elegance of the eyes is a critical component of facial allure. When the eyes are hidden beneath sagging eyelids or disguised by wrinkles, they can lose their luminescence. Eyelid surgery can remove excess eyelid tissue and tighten the remaining tissues to emphasize the natural beauty of your eyes.
Plastic Surgery Dubai
REFRESH YOUR APPEARANCE
If you have wrinkles around your eyes, drooping eyelids, or puffy under-eye bags, you may look older than you feel. Sagging eyelids can also contribute to a fatigued or unapproachable appearance. Eyelid surgery can alleviate these concerns to help you appear refreshed and restore a more youthful aesthetic to your face.
RESTORE YOUR VISION
Over time, many men and women experience eyelid hooding as a result of aging, lifestyle factors, and genetics. Some individuals can develop so much excess skin and tissue laxity of the eyelids that the eyelids physically obscure their vision. If your eyelid hooding limits your full range of sight, you may want to consider eyelid surgery to restore your sightlines.
Dr. Vigo will assess the condition of your eyelids as well as your facial anatomy to devise the most appropriate surgical approach to meet your goals. You may benefit from upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or a combination of both to achieve the desired results. Dr. Vigo closes eyelid surgery incisions with surgical tape, skin adhesive, removable sutures, or absorbable sutures.

WHAT CAN A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT ACHIEVE?
Plastic Surgery Dubai | 20 December 2020
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a surgical procedure that uses your own fat from liposuction to improve the fullness and shape of the buttocks. This fat transfer procedure has the double benefit of creating more slender body contours while also enhancing the size and shape of your derrière. Stubborn fat that is difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise is removed and then used to augment the butt. In addition, the Brazilian Butt Lift is an excellent alternative to butt implants.
WHAT CAN THE BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT ACHIEVE?
A FULLER BACKSIDE
The Brazilian Butt Lift adds volume to increase the size of the butt to achieve a larger and fuller backside. After your procedure, you can have the butt size you have always wanted and no longer worry about filling out your jeans, dresses, or skirts.
Plastic Surgery Dubai
A ROUNDER, SHAPELIER BACKSIDE
Butt augmentation with the Brazilian Butt Lift allows Dr. Vigo to improve the shape of the butt to produce a rounder “bubble butt.” Many patients experience a boost in confidence knowing that their butt finally has their ideal shape.
SLENDER CONTOURS
Because the Brazilian Butt Lift uses liposuction to harvest fat from unwanted areas, you can eliminate the stubborn fat that diet and exercise could not. This can slim down those thunder thighs, flatten your problematic belly pooch, or allow you to wave goodbye to jiggly arm fat.

Liposuction eliminates stubborn fat from areas that are difficult to target
Plastic Surgery Dubai | 15 December 2020
Liposuction eliminates stubborn fat from areas that are difficult to target with diet and exercise. This surgical procedure removes localized fat with a thin hollow tube (cannula) inserted through several tiny incisions in the skin. The cannula is connected to a vacuum device that removes the excess fat with a suctioning technique, and the result is more slender and attractive body contours.
What can liposuction do for me?

FIT INTO CLOTHING BETTER
Have you ever found the top you were looking for only to discover that after you try it on, your abdomen noticeably protrudes? Or maybe a pair of jeans fits you perfectly in the hips but bulges above the waistband. Liposuction eliminates fat from problem areas so you can fit into clothing better and have a wider variety of options that flatter your figure. After liposuction, you can actually enjoy going shopping for new clothes or even looking through your closet knowing that your clothes will adorn your body in a more fetching way.
TAKE THE STRESS OFF
Carrying extra weight can put stress on certain parts of the body, such as the back, knees, and hips. Although liposuction should not be looked at as a form of weight loss and does not result in a dramatic reduction in weight, the excess fat can be enough to make a difference when it comes to straining your body. Liposuction can result in a small amount of weight reduction and may encourage patients to continue with a healthy lifestyle that allows them to lose more weight and take even more stress off their bodies.
BE MORE CONFIDENT
You may have struggled for several months or even years to eliminate stubborn fat to no avail, and these enduring bulges may cause you to be self-conscious about your appearance. After liposuction, you will feel happy knowing you look good, which will help make you feel more comfortable in your own skin and give you the confidence you deserve.

THINKING ABOUT HAVING A FACELIFT?
Plastic Surgery Dubai | 9 December 2020
As we age, our skin begins to lose its elasticity because of the breakdown in collagen. In addition, the deep anatomical structures of the face begin to change. These include the muscles of the cheeks and around the eyes, as well as the fat in the cheeks.
All of these factors combined can often make the face and neck wrinkle and sag, causing many people to look older than they actually feel. If you are concerned about the signs of aging on your face, a facelift can be the ideal cosmetic procedure for you.
REDUCED WRINKLES
Over time, the collagen in our skin breaks down, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Facelift surgery removes loose, excess skin to produce a smooth, youthful skin texture that will take years off your appearance.

A MORE DEFINED JAWLINE
Displaced and drooping tissues along the jawline can create the appearance of jowls. Facelift surgery tightens the muscles and removes excess tissue for a sleek jawline that creates a more defined, attractive transition from the face to the neck.
FIRMER NECK AND FACIAL CONTOURS
Sagging corners of the mouth and drooping tissues in the cheeks and neck can significantly age your appearance. Facelift surgery repositions the underlying tissues and removes any excess to achieve firmer contours in the face and neck.

GET YOUR BODY BACK WITH A MOMMY MAKEOVER
Plastic Surgery Dubai | 3 December 2020
After giving birth, a mother’s life becomes a blur of changes; some of these changes are far less welcome than others. Pregnancy and nursing can have a significant impact on a woman’s figure and may lead to issues such as saggy and deflated breasts, excess abdominal skin, and stubborn fat deposits.
By combining several procedures aimed at common traits caused by pregnancy and nursing, a Mommy Makeover is specifically tailored toward restoring a mother’s body.
Plastic Surgery Dubai
GET YOUR BODY BACK
After giving birth, there is a lot of societal pressure for a woman to “get her body back.” Unfortunately, this is impossible for most women, since sagging skin and breasts cannot be fixed by spending hours at the gym or adopting the newest diet trend. The only resolution to these problems is plastic surgery.
RESTORE YOUR CONFIDENCE
The extreme lifestyle, biological, and hormonal changes that a new mother endures can lead to an overwhelming feeling of inadequacy and depression. In many cases, women who have taken perfect care of their bodies feel trapped in their sagging or stretched skin as their self-confidence diminishes. A Mommy Makeover can resolve those feelings by removing the negative physical repercussions after pregnancy and childbirth.
GIVE YOUR BODY WHAT IT NEEDS
No two pregnancies are alike; different mothers have different concerns that need to be addressed during a Mommy Makeover. While your concerns may be centered around stretched abdominal skin, another mother may want to focus more on the shape of her breasts after nursing. Regardless of what part of your body needs the most attention, a customized Mommy Makeover will help you restore your naturally feminine physique.

WHAT CAN EAR SURGERY ACHIEVE?
Plastic Surgery Dubai | 1 December 2020
Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the ears. Ear surgery can reshape the ears, improve their size or protrusion, correct concerns, or correct the appearance of stretched or gauged earlobes. Patients who are missing one or both ears from birth or an injury can have new ears constructed with otoplasty. Dr. Vigo performs ear surgery to help enhance patients’ ears and improve their appearance, confidence, and self-image.
CORRECT EAR DEFORMITIES OR INJURIES
Otoplasty can correct ear deformities or injuries such as lop ear, cupped ear, shell ear, and cauliflower ear. Surgery can help your ears blend in well with your other features and balance your facial profile.
Plastic Surgery Dubai
REDUCE EAR SIZE OR PROTRUSION
Ears that stick out noticeably from the head or that are too prominent may cause feelings of self-consciousness. Dr. Vigo can perform otoplasty to make your ears smaller and lessen the degree to which they protrude from the side of your head. After surgery, your ears will look more balanced and will no longer draw attention.
IMPROVE EARLOBES
Some earlobes are naturally large or develop creases or wrinkles. Others may become stretched or develop unsightly holes due to wearing heavy earrings or gauges. Otoplasty can correct these issues and restore a more natural appearance to the earlobes.
REBUILD A MISSING EAR
Some candidates for ear surgery are missing one or both ears because of an injury or from birth. Missing the outer ears may not affect hearing, but it can draw unwanted attention. Dr. Vigo can use natural tissues and cartilage to reconstruct a missing ear and restore your appearance.
BOOST SELF-ESTEEM AND CONFIDENCE
Many individuals experience self-esteem issues, poor self-confidence, social anxiety, or ridicule due to the appearance of their ears. Children are particularly vulnerable to emotional and psychological trauma from the mockery of other children. Otoplasty can enhance your ears and boost your self-esteem and confidence by providing more proportionate ears.

Breast Augmentation Dubai – The Benefits
Breast Augmentation Dubai | 15 November 2020
Women choose primary breast augmentation surgery to increase the size and proportion of their breast(s). In addition, women choose revision-augmentation surgery (replacement of an existing breast implant) to correct or improve the result of a primary augmentation surgery. According to literature reports, most women who have undergone breast implant surgery have reported high levels of satisfaction with their body image and the shape, feel and size of their implants.67 In Sientra’s Clinical Study, most primary and revision-augmentation patients were pleased with the results of their implant surgery. The results showed that most women who underwent primary or revision-augmentation with the Study Implants felt their breast implants made them feel more feminine and more attractive. In addition, the majority of these women indicated that their breast implants made them feel better about themselves. For more information on the benefits of breast augmentation with Sientra’s Implants based on the results of the Clinical Study, refer to Section 8.3 of this brochure.
Preparing For Breast Augmentation Dubai With Silicone Gel Breast Implants
Deciding to have breast augmentation with implants is an important personal decision that has both benefits and risks. You should decide whether it is the right choice for you after discussing all the options with your plastic surgeon and any other doctors who are treating you. This section will give you the information you need to make an informed choice and help you make a number of decisions that have to be made before your surgery.
Should I Have Breast Augmentation Dubai?
Breast augmentation with Silicone Gel Breast Implants
is one option that may be available to you if you wish to enhance the appearance of your breasts. A breast revision-augmentation surgery may be appropriate if you have had
a breast augmentation with implants but need to complete, improve upon, or correct a part of that first surgery (called the primary augmentation). Whether breast augmentation is right for you depends on many things; some of them are personal. You should take into account your medical condition, general health, lifestyle, how you feel emotionally, and your breast size and shape before surgery, as well as your hopes for breast size and shape after surgery. All of these things will affect the outcome of your surgery. Discuss your goals for breast augmentation with your doctors. You may also wish to consult your family and friends and breast implant support groups, to help you learn about the options and decide. Many women who choose implants as part of their augmentation say their augmented breast(s) help them feel more self-confident, feel better about their bodies, and/or give them a greater feeling of well-being. Other women are not satisfied with their implants because of complications, like capsular contracture, rupture, or pain.
RESTYLANE FOR FACIAL REJUVENATION
Fillers in Dubai | 13 November 2020
Restylane® is an FDA approved dermal filler used to smooth wrinkles and give the face youthful contours. It was the first hyaluronic acid filler approved for cosmetic use in the U.S. in 2003, and it has been successfully used in millions of treatments across the world.
What are Restylane and Restylane Silk used for?
The most common uses of Restylane are to:
soften the “parentheses” around the nose and mouth
hide lower eyelid bags or dark circles
lift and rejuvenate brows and upper eyelids
enhance lips by adding fullness while staying natural-looking
define lip borders
soften “lipstick lines” around the mouth
give noses more beautiful shapes and profiles
smooth chins
smooth skin wrinkles and acne scars
provide fullness to earlobes and provide support to earrings when there is damage to the ear lobes
straighten jawlines
lift the corners of the mouth
soften “marionette lines”
add fullness to cheeks, temples, chins or wherever it is needed
rejuvenate necklines
As a “thinner” version of Restylane, Restylane Silk is most commonly used to:
smooth “lipstick lines” and other fine lines, especially around the mouth
add fullness to lips
hide lower eyelid bags
provide fullness to hollows under eyes
How do Restylane and Restylane Silk work?
Restylane and Restylane Silk replenish the skin’s supply of hyaluronic acid, which is a “water-loving” molecule found naturally in the human body that keeps skin full and hydrated. Replenishing hyaluronic acid rejuvenates and adds volume to the skin, diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles and leaving patients with natural looking results.
Patients often ask about the differences between Restylane and Restylane Lyft because they are very similar products. The gel is initially made the same for both, but with Restylane, the gel is cut into smaller pieces than with Restylane Lyft. This means that Restylane can be placed more superficially in the skin, which makes it ideal for fine lines and facial contouring.
ARM LIFT & ARM REDUCTION
Cosmetic Clinic Dubai | 11 November 2020
A Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits on the upper arm. This can be caused by age, as the upper arm skin becomes loose and flabby, or may simply be a feature of natural fat distribution and surplus arm skin (often caused by weight loss). Brachioplasty procedures tackle these conditions to leave a tight and smooth skin appearance by using one, or both, of two key surgical techniques; liposuction and skin excision.
There are two aspects to the problem of the upper arm, the relative amount of excess fat and the excess skin. These problems have two surgical solutions, which are often combined. At the two extremes, there are patients with large arms with surplus fat, who are treated very satisfactorily by liposuction. Unobtrusive stab incisions are made in the armpit and on the back of the elbow. We then need a skilled and obsessional surgeon to very carefully remove the fat smoothly from around the arm. There are other adjacent areas that we often treat at the same time, and in particular fat around the shoulder, armpit, adjacent back and so-called tail of the breast. This is fat that bunches up particularly when wearing a bra, below the front of the armpit. Also, we carry out liposuction of forearms and make particular note of the fat on the back of the elbow. All of these areas can be treated in the same session.
This liposuction carried out on its own is particularly useful when the skin is still relatively elastic and will, therefore, be more commonly carried out in younger patients. At the other extreme, we have skinny patients who simply have a lot of loose skin hanging down embarrassingly as ‘Bingo Wings’. Retraction of the skin after liposuction would not be adequate, and in any case, there is little or no fat to remove. In this case, the solution is skin reduction, and can only be carried out by removing a long ellipse of skin from the back of the elbow, along the line between the inside and back of the arm, curving into the armpit. It is important to consider the position of the scar to ensure it is as subtle as possible.
The scars themselves take some months to settle in. Some surgeons offer to tighten the skin with an excision of skin confined to the armpit. The skin then is pulled up towards the armpit like pulling up a sock. Unfortunately, this does not work for the vast majority of patients. The excess skin is around the circumference of the arm and not along the length. In patients who have had extreme weight loss, perhaps after bariatric surgery, there is surplus skin everywhere and an arm reduction can be incorporated into reductions of the skin of the back, flank and breast
Many patients do not fit into these two groups. They have both excess fat and excess skin. Liposuction alone will not tighten the skin sufficiently. In these cases, a combination of liposuction and excision of skin and fat is carried out. Experience and careful planning are required to produce a symmetrical result. We have all seen patients who have had unequal amounts of skin and fat removed with unnaturally shaped arms, of unequal size. There are even occasions where patients have required to have skin put back, using skin grafts.
