ALL ABOUT BUCCAL FAT REMOVAL FOR THINNER CHEEKS

Aesthetic Medicine Dubai | 6 November 2023

To alter the look of the face and lower cheek size, buccal fat can be surgically removed. The buccal pad is located deep within the cheek fat. It is located between two face muscles, below the cheekbone.

The size of this fat pad affects the shape of the face. They exist in all people, however they differ greatly in size. Through surgery, the size of this pad can be reduced. It will reduce roundness or fat in the cheeks, giving the face a more angular shape.

Sometimes others will refer to it as a “baby face.” There is nothing wrong with having larger buccal fat pads in the face, but if you wish them to seem smaller, Dr. Matteo Vigo is skilled at executing this fat removal surgery. Buccal fat reduction reduces facial fat, especially in the cheek hollows, with the goal of thinning the cheek region.

The pads on each patient’s faces might be different sizes overall and on either side. Patients who have this kind of cosmetic surgery frequently do not have narrow or long faces. Therefore, they would appear older and more worn-down. Instead, the cheekbones are meant to be highlighted. Larger cheeks are perfectly fine, however many patients prefer prominent cheekbones. This technique may improve patients’ appearance due to 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. Furthermore, it doesn’t take very long; often, it only takes a little bit longer than an hour.

WHAT ARE VAMPIRE FACIAL AND PRP TREATMENTS

Cosmetic Clinic Dubai | 18 October 2023

The premise of the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) procedure, popularly known as the “Vampire Facelift” or “Dracula Therapy,” is that the body’s own healing mechanisms may have the capacity to both suddenly reverse and slow down the ageing process.

We believe that the skin should heal and rejuvenate itself precisely where development components are positioned inside a progressive repair framework.

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

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

BENEFITS OF A MUMMY MAKEOVER AFTER PREGNANCY

Cosmetic Clinic Dubai | 11 October 2023

Do you know about the Mommy Makeover? The popularity of this combination of surgical treatments is growing daily. Every patient receives a unique Mommy Makeover package designed to return her postpartum physique to its pre-pregnancy form. The stomach tuck is included in several packages.The uterus expands to accommodate the growth of the baby inside the woman’s body.

This has the unfortunate side effect of stretching the abdominal muscles apart and weakening the abdominal wall. Muscle tissue sags and bulges, the skin of the stomach stretches, and excess fatty tissue forms in the region. This makes the abdomen look out of shape by creating a “pooch” of flab, along with stretch marks in the skin.

To restore the abdominal wall, trim away excess skin, remove stretch marks, and suction out excess fatty tissue, we offer the tummy tuck as an option for your Mommy Makeover package.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE GETTING LIP FILLER

Fillers in Dubai | 9 October 2023

Every single person is distinct. Variations in lip form, metabolism, heredity, risk factors, and aesthetic goals are all included in this. Instead of comparing your lip, architecture, or volume to someone else’s, embrace your uniqueness! It’s what makes us unique.

How long does it take?

– 10 minutes of topical numbing

– 10 minutes of procedure

Is it painful?

– Most clients have minimal discomfort, on a scale of 1-10, they are a 2-3. This is less painful than laser hair-removal, thanks to our unique numbing technique!

How swollen will I be?

– Everyone is different, some people swell up while others do not, swelling depends on multiple factors. Just because you didn’t swell one time, does not mean you will not swell the next time you do a treatment. Sometimes an anti-swelling medication will be given after your injection. I can address this at the time of the visit. Major swelling typically lasts less than 4 days on average, while minor residual swelling can last 14-21 days.

What about bruises?

– Some people are pre-disposed to bruise, avoiding vitamins, alcohol, and ibuprofen type products can decrease the chances of a bruise. Bruising comes in three sizes: Small (like the tip of a needle), medium (like the back of pencil eraser or two pencils erasers), and large (gum-ball sized). Depending on the type of bruise they can last 2-3 days or up to 2 weeks respectively. Arnika pills can be purchased during your visit that can help heal bruises. From time to time a laser can be used to speed up the process if warranted for specific cases.

How long does it last?

– Typically lip injections last 6 months depending on multiple factors including product used. I’ve seen people that have had fillers lasting as little as 2 months and as much as 1 year.

WHICH IS BETTER: FAT TRANSFER OR BREAST IMPLANTS?

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 6 October 2023

If you’ve ever heard someone jokingly say they wish they could transfer more fat from their waist to their breasts, we have some great news for you: a procedure known as “fat transfer breast augmentation” may really make that happen.

This surgery involves injecting breasts with fat that has been liposuctioned from a certain body part (the thighs, arms, love handles, or back). This surgery is perfect for people who only desire a little increase in breast size. It can help lessen imperfections, improve breast form, and increase your breasts by using your own natural fat cells. Additionally, individuals who already have implants can increase the size of their breasts even more by having fat transferred into them rather than having an implant replacement treatment. Breast augmentation is always breast augmentation, regardless of whether you label it “augmentation light.”

It’s important to keep in mind that even though a surgeon may just employ local anaesthetic, fat transfer to the breasts is still a surgical operation. Even though the recovery after fat grafting usually only lasts three to five days and entails little discomfort and swelling, it’s still crucial to follow your surgeon’s instructions for complete healing.

Fat transfer procedures essentially accomplish two goals at once, which accounts for their popularity. In the end, the patient is able to define their shape by contouring and moulding their body by eliminating fat from a region with excess fat. While waiting, the fat can be used once again to augment the breasts in a way that feels and looks very natural. Hearing this idea puts a lot of women at ease. In the end, there is no risk of an allergic response, a rupture, or implant rejection with fat grafting.

BREAST PTOSIS – SOLUTIONS FOR SAGGING OR DROOPING BREASTS

Breast Augmentation Dubai | 1 October 2023

There is always some risk involved with surgery. It might be as safe to get a breast augmentation and lift at the same time, though. Augmentation-mastopexy surgery offers some unique benefits in addition to resolving a range of cosmetic issues. The following reconstructive and cosmetic advantages come from combining these breast operations:

– There is less scarring

– There is less removal of skin

– The implant helps fill out the breast and improves its overall appearance so that less lifting is needed

– Combining surgeries is less expensive than having both surgeries separately

– Combining surgeries can reduce overall recovery time

The hazards are the same whether procedures are carried out alone or in tandem, and most patients would rather have only one surgical treatment, if at all feasible. Every operation, after all, comes with a certain amount of inconvenience: Patients need to make plans for time off work, find a caretaker to help them during their first recuperation, and (if they have children) find a creche facility. Doing these activities twice instead of once not only requires more labour, but it usually costs more money.
