As 2022 is almost over, we start reflecting on all the things that highlighted this year and made it amazing. We think about how we will remember this year and how to be even better the next year.
And at Lucia Clinic, so many wonderful things have happened and so many wonderful people have visited it and picked it as their beauty sanctuary. So, what lies behind Lucia’s successful mission for this year? Thousands of happy and satisfied clients, 365 days of being there for the patients, care and dedication, and constant moving forward are just some of the things that outline this aesthetic clinic. But perhaps most important is their passion – the passion to keep their patients pleased by fulfilling all their aesthetic goals.
So, let’s see what Lucia Clinic has achieved this year together with its patients.

A BESPOKE PROCEDURE FOR EVERY PATIENT

This is what has always singled out this aesthetic clinic and what has made its doctors experts in skin care. This year, Lucia Clinic’s skin therapists and doctors have done 21,147 different treatments – the number really speaks for itself! With the focus on every aspect of facial and body skin, patients found the treatments that helped them rejuvenate their skin and feel and look youthful again.

With an array of injectable treatments, each and every patient could find the best solution for their facial skin issues. Whether they needed an anti-aging solution or improvement of different facial features with the help of  Botox, Dermal fillers, advanced PRP procedure, Profhilo, Skin Boosters and many others, Lucia’s doctors created a customized treatment for every patient because that’s how you really get the best results, show the patients that you honestly care for them and help them feel confident again.
As for non-invasive treatments, the patients chose various skin lifting and tightening procedures like various laser therapies, ultrasound techniques and facials. Each treatment brought them flawless skin that was radiant and beautiful. Natural-looking results are the most beautiful results – this is Lucia’s team mantra. And seeing that radiance and huge smiles on their patients’ faces after the right treatment is what makes Lucia’s team’s hearts warm and keeps them motivated and ready to become even better.
Finally, treatments for the body concerns were a hit!
A true hero is the EmSculpt NEO procedure that was first introduced in the Middle East by Lucia Clinic. It is a really advanced treatment that reduces stubborn fat pockets and tones muscles at the same time. This is something that truly made Lucia’s patients happy because it took their fitness goals to a whole new level. All without side effects or downtime.
And other body contouring procedures fulfilled patients’ goals, like cellulite elimination, skin firming and tightening, and fat reduction – to name just a few. Throw in laser hair elimination and you have the full package.
What made Lucia’s patients satisfied is the fact that all treatments are safe, they are of the latest generation and they deliver everything they expected.

LUCIA CLINIC WELCOMES PATIENTS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE

This is another thing that makes Lucia Clinic shine among others, and in 2022 Lucia’s team created special treatments for 3917 patients. This year, as in any previous year, Lucia Clinic was visited by VIPs from the movie and entertainment industry, famous influencers, world sports champions and others. They always say that Lucia Clinic is their number one destination when they visit Dubai – they feel pampered, special and well taken care of. But this also goes for people who shy away from the limelight – each patient gets individual care and attention.
We are all different and have different skin – this is another motto that Lucia’s team stands by firmly. And since Lucia Clinic is located in Dubai, this gives Lucia’s team a fabulous opportunity to create treatments for patients with various skin types and tones. This is what makes them experts in their job – individual attention and custom-tailored procedures for everyone.
There is no one-size solution – every facial or body skin needs special nurture. It is all in the right intensity of laser therapy for example or the proper amount of injectables – only with an individual approach do you get what you are expecting – the best, most natural-looking and long-lasting effects. This is what Lucia’s team knows extremely well and what keeps their patients returning.
This year Lucia Clinic had a magnificent 98% of clients who returned and, well, found their aesthetic clinic. Also, let’s not forget that 99% of patients were satisfied with their brilliant results. These numbers portray Lucia’s team’s devotion to their patients, their constant drive to achieve even better results but also their natural friendliness and ability to treat every patient with care and full attention.
Among this colossal number of returning and satisfied patients were also male clients. Men found Lucia Clinic as their retreat, where they could get treatment designed especially for them. There are extra special procedures that help men rejuvenate their facial skin, deal with wrinkles and skin blemishes concerns and contour their problematic body areas. Men felt safe and sound in the expert hands of Lucia Clinic’s team and included aesthetic treatments in their routine.
The time of male aesthetic treatments is on the rise and Lucia’s team welcomes men with the same devotion and care as they do for female patients. The artistry and expertise of Lucia’s team come in the first place here – men have different facial features and skin than women so they need a unique approach. What they achieve with Lucia’s team is rejuvenated faces and bodies but they still keep their masculinity – it’s all about natural-looking results, and men appreciate that the most.

BEING THE PIONEERS IN OFFERING GROUNDBREAKING TREATMENTS

This is another of Lucia Clinic’s ruling principles. And they never fail to WOW their patients with the latest and gold standard procedures – all for the sake of offering more improved and more efficient treatments. This is how Lucia’s team stays up-to-date, educates themselves even further and creates even more customized treatments for their patients’ skin concerns.

So, in 2022, Lucia Clinic included not 1 or 2 but 7 new procedures. All these new treatments offered even bigger choices for their patients’ facial and body skin aesthetic goals.
We need to mention EmSculpt NEO again because the most innovative addition to this powerful treatment is EmSculpt NEO Edge applicators, used for sculpting curvy areas of the body. With this new procedure, Lucia’s patients could finally get rid of infamous love handles and tone the muscles in their waists simultaneously. This is the first treatment that can address this body area in a safe and effective manner. EmSculpt NEO Edge applicators are the latest buzz in the field of aesthetic treatments and Lucia Clinic was one of the first to introduce it to their patients. And they loved it.
Another super effective and brilliant treatment that found its place among the best Lucia treatments is EmFace. It is a treatment that everyone is raving about – it lifts and firms the facial skin by making facial muscles stronger. This is a completely new approach to anti-aging solutions and Lucia’s patients were crazy about it. Simply because it is safe, painless, non-invasive and brings amazing results.
Or how about the wonderful EmSella treatment? It helped so many of  Lucia’s female patients to return their confidence by helping them solve problems of urinary incontinence. It is also an innovative solution to this problem – it is a super simple treatment, that doesn’t require any preparations and is completely painless. Many women claimed that this treatment was really life-changing.
Let’s mention some of the new products that Lucia Clinic included in the array of different injectable treatments. Xela Raderm is a unique skin booster that completely revitalizes the skin. It helped patients with aging signs, pigmentation, scars and other blemishes with its special innovative formula. It provided Lucia’s patients with healthy, bright and radiant skin by hydrating it and triggering the production of collagen and elastin. Xela Raderm skin booster really delivered everything the patients wanted – all thanks to Lucia’s team’s desire and motivation to always offer the latest and highest quality products.
Anteage MD and ExoSCRT Exosomes injectable treatments also deserve to be mentioned. These treatments truly represent what Lucia Clinic is all about – a natural approach to skincare and natural-looking results. Anteage MD effectively brought patients younger-looking skin by introducing innovative Growth Factors. This is the future of skincare treatments – helping the skin to heal itself with its own repair mechanisms. That’s really something else.
The same goes with Exosomes – they represent a new era of skin rejuvenation. This powerful stem cell serum helps the skin to heal faster and produce more collagen and elastin. Again another completely natural treatment that provides long-lasting results.
Finally, a completely new technique of body contouring found its place – fat grafting. This procedure which falls into the category of plastic surgery enabled Lucia’s patients to get 2 treatments in 1. That is pretty cool – fat grafting removes excess fat from one area of the body by liposuction and then transfers it to another area that lacks volume. So it is an awesome procedure for breast augmentation or buttocks enhancement. It can even be done for the face as a full-face rejuvenation. Add to that the expert hands of brilliant Lucia’s plastic surgeons and everything is fully covered.
When talking about plastic surgery,

THE DEPARTMENT FOR PLASTIC SURGERY SPRUNG OUT THIS YEAR

It immediately skyrocketed in popularity. This was really a big deal for Lucia Clinic because it was able to offer its patients a completely different approach to aesthetic treatments. And again, all plastic surgeries are done with amazing new techniques that don’t require long recovery but bring mind-blowing results. Like Tumescent Liposuction which is performed just with local anesthesia. This really shows how advanced techniques always find their place at Lucia Clinic. And by using these techniques, Lucia’s team cares for their patients and helps them to be out and about really quickly. Or when considering breast augmentation, female patients had an opportunity to choose the highest quality breast implants that don’t need to be changed every ten years. This is huge in the field of plastic surgery.
Lucia’s patients could get all the latest plastic surgeries, according to their needs and aesthetic goals. Like tummy tuck or Mummy makeover, Eyelid lift, facelift and others – all surgeries are done by wonderful and world-renowned Lucia’s plastic surgeons, who go the extra mile in delivering the best possible outcomes.
All the patients knew that they were in good hands after initial consultation with doctors and made their decisions about plastic surgeries much easier. We know it’s not a decision you make overnight. But with doctors’ help and guidance through the process, it sure is more comfortable.
Men were not forgotten in this new department. They had a chance to solve their problems with Gynecomastia, enlarge their pectorals or lose unwanted fat with Liposuction. As we said, Lucia Clinic always follows trends and male plastic surgeries are definitely on the rise.

WHAT LIES AHEAD IS DEFINITELY CERTAIN –

Lucia Clinic will continue to search for new and more advanced methods for antiaging solutions. Lucia’s team is dedicated to further educating themselves and providing even better results for their patients. But one thing will stay the same – they will care for their patients with the same passion and devotion. And also, helping their patients feel confident and radiant again will remain their mission. Lucia Clinic’s team is looking forward to inspiring their patients in the next year.

Lucia Clinic has a brand new treat for you – EmSculpt NEO Edge applicators for sculpting curvy body parts. We are proud and excited to be the first in the Middle East to introduce this brilliant addition to EmSculpt NEO treatment. Now, you can finally contour almost any part of your body, even the ones that are hard to reach, like the lateral abdomen or the infamous love handles. More muscles and less fat in your lateral abdomen in just 4 sessions is what EmSculpt NEO Edge is all about.

Numbers speak for themselves – EmSculpt NEO Edge can burn up to 30% of fat and build up to 25% of muscles. Before, this was only possible in the middle area of your abdomen. But now, with the new sleek applicators, you can treat the sides of your abdomen with the same effectiveness. Your core strength also improves while your waist is toned and slimmer without downtime or surgery.

WHY IS EMSCULPT NEO EDGE SUCH AN EXCITING INNOVATION?

Because it can treat your whole mid-section now, not just the middle abs. This is a real breakthrough in non-invasive body-contouring treatments because EmSculpt NEO Edge targets these difficult-to-reach body areas. It is precisely developed to target the main concerns as love handles and replace them with shaped muscles.

The new applicators are sleekly designed to wrap around your entire abdomen and make your waist slimmer and better defined. They sculpt your oblique muscles and contour your midsection. As your oblique muscles get stronger, you feel less pain in your lower back area and stand up straight because suddenly your posture has also improved. How awesome is that! You build muscles, get rid of back pain and look “taller,” thanks to this non-invasive, completely painless, super-effective treatment.

SCULPT YOUR WAIST IN JUST 30 MINUTES

As EmSculpt NEO Edge continues the effective tradition of its forerunner EmSculpt NEO, each session still lasts only for 30 minutes. Why change something that already works perfectly? EmSculpt NEO Edge is fast and ideal if you are a busy person. It’s even shorter than the time you spend in the gym, exercising those lateral abs that simply can’t get defined as you want them. But now they must – with this intense sculpting, your lateral muscles will start building hard. After half an hour of effortlessly lying on the treatment table and relaxing, you can continue your day. Think of EmSculpt NEO Edge as a perfect lunch break treatment.

BUILD MUSCLES AND GET RID OF FAT AT THE SAME TIME

Yes, that’s what you’re aiming at. EmSculpt NEO Edge is the only treatment that simultaneously works on muscle definition and fat elimination. It’s all about the right combo of treatment energies – Radio Frequency and HIFEM energy. RF energy targets those stubborn fat pockets that are accumulated around your waist. It heats them and they get destroyed – super simple. Once they are destroyed, your metabolism eliminates these fat cells from your system. After that, your waist becomes super slim. HIFEM targets your muscles. It makes them contract so intensely that they immediately start reshaping. You can’t work on your muscles like that on your own. So not only does your lateral abdomen gets better shaped, but your flanks melt away also.

MELT THOSE LOVE HANDLES AWAY

We can’t fight genetics. Perhaps we are predetermined to accumulate fat deposits in our waist and form those nasty love handles. No matter how much you exercise or eat healthy, love handles stay stuck on your waist. But not anymore – EmSculpt NEO Edge applicators specifically target this body area. It isn’t easy to reach the curvy lateral abdomen, but not with this treatment. The applicators are specially designed to wrap around this area, target fat deposits and build muscles. Love handles stand no chance against EmSculpt NEO Edge, they just melt away. Your waist gets slimmer and nicely shaped and love handles stay in the past. Your waist gets enhanced in a non-invasive and completely safe way.

IT’S NON-INVASIVE AND YET SUPER EFFECTIVE

And completely painless. You do feel the sensation of heat but it’s not uncomfortable. And you experience strong contractions in your lateral abs but the intensity can be set according to your comfort level. That’s the beauty of this treatment – your treatment therapist can simply lower the intensity of the energies so that you feel comfortable while having the treatment. You get a tailored treatment just for your needs and aesthetic goals. Your skin doesn’t get harmed because of the heat, and you don’t experience any side effects except short-lasting redness. With zero downtime and effective results, EmSculpt NEO Edge lets you take your fitness goals to the next level.

MELTED FAT CELLS ARE GONE FOREVER

This is one of the most awesome traits of EmSculpt NEO Edge – once it destroys stubborn fat deposits and they get eliminated from your body, they are gone for good. That’s how effective this treatment is. The destroyed fat cells are naturally eliminated from your system so you need a little time to thoroughly flush them away. You will gradually notice that your waist is becoming slimmer and more defined and after 3 months you will see the full effects of this brilliant treatment. And it is also brilliant again because it motivates you to keep those great results. With regular exercise and a nutritious diet, your waist will stay nicely contoured for a long time.

EMSCULPT NEO EDGE IS FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE

This innovative treatment targets your waist or lateral abdomen, and if these are your trouble spots, EmSculpt NEO Edge is your solution. During the initial consultation with Lucia’s skin therapist, you can express your wishes for a better-contoured waist, and the therapist will create a treatment plan just for you. It usually includes 4 sessions spaced at 1 or 2 weeks. You don’t need to prepare for the treatment because it is super simple – you just come to your scheduled appointment and relax while EmSculpt NEO Edge does its magic and sculpts your midsection. With this revolutionary treatment, non-invasive body sculpting has become even easier than before.

TAKE YOUR FITNESS GOALS TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL

If you are already a fit and active person, then EmSculpt NEO Edge is right for you. Once it builds your muscles and increases your core strength, you will be supercharging your workouts. You’ll notice that you can run a bit faster and exercise a bit harder. Maybe you will be able to do more crunches or sit-ups. Becoming stronger and getting better-defined lateral abs will benefit your whole well-being. So if you are close to your ideal body weight and love handles are the ones that bother you constantly then try this excellent treatment – you’ll be surprised how beneficial and effective it will be in your body contouring.

EMSCULPT NEO EDGE IS AWESOME FOR MEN TOO

If you are tired of countless side situps in the gym, this muscle-toning and fat-burning treatment is your solution. With the new additional applicators, EmSculpt NEO Edge targets your flanks and contours your body’s natural curves – as a result you get that V shape you have always desired. The fat deposits in your waist get permanently destroyed and your mid-section muscles build up. Your waist looks trimmed and tight. These are really brilliant results achieved without downtime or surgery. You can opt to have occasional touch-up treatments to maintain the results but keep up with working out. This way your lateral abs will stay firm and defined. The best results are there 3 months after your last session. So say goodbye to muffin tops, spare tires and nasty love handles.

EMSCULPT NEO EDGE CAN DO SO MUCH FOR YOUR BODY CONTOURING

This innovative non-surgical procedure will contour your most problematic body area – the lateral abdomen. The last inches of fat will melt away and muscles will take their place. Think about the boost in your confidence when you finally reach your desired results. You will feel fantastic. With love handles out of the picture, you will look amazing in your clothes. All it takes is 30 minutes and 4 sessions – EmSculpt NEO Edge even saves you time. The effects of this state-of-the-art treatment after 4 sessions can be compared to 4 long months of constant workouts. And again there is no guarantee that you will be able to sculpt your lateral abdomen the way you want to. But with this fast and effective procedure, you will finally define these muscles and enhance your waist.

LOOK AND FEEL THE BEST WITH EMSCULPT NEO EDGE

This treatment truly gives you that edge you are looking for to define your muscles and melt stubborn fat deposits. Especially in the hardest area to sculpt like your waist. These game-changing new applicators spread the effectiveness of EmSculpt NEO to your lateral abdomen. This treatment is the only one that combines two energies and simultaneously burns fat and builds your muscles – in a non-invasive way. You notice that your posture has improved and that your mid-section is better sculpted. Think about how much you will boost your confidence when you finally leave love handles behind you.

1. WHAT IS BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY?

Imagine standing in front of the mirror every day, looking at your breasts and wishing they were bigger. Let’s say that you have been imagining what would your breasts look like in a skimpy top with full cleavage or without a push-up bra for about 10 to 15 years. And then you realize – there is something I can do about it. I’ll google the term breast augmentation and read all about it. I’m sure you have stumbled upon the same answers to the question of what breast augmentation represents.

But here it is again –
Breast augmentation is a surgery that makes your breasts bigger. It can be done with silicone breast implants which the surgeon places under your chest muscles or under your breast tissue.

That’s what breast augmentation is – in a nutshell. It helps you feel more confident, sexier and perkier. Or it helps you reconstruct your breasts if you are unhappy with how your breasts look. This can mean that one of your breasts is smaller than the other and needs a little boost. Or you have finished planning your family and lost significant amount of weight and now you want to focus on yourself and make your breasts look as they did before your pregnancy.

The reasons for your breast augmentation are yours and only yours.

One important thing is that it is a surgery after which you usually can go home the same day. You rarely have to stay overnight in a hospital or surgical center.

REMEMBER – Finding a surgeon you can trust, a surgeon who will answer all your questions (even those that sound silly) and is more than qualified to do this procedure is the key to your successful breast augmentation surgery.

Let’s move on to the second question –

2. HOW CAN I PREP MYSELF FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY?

We all know that surgeries are a bit scary. But if you know how to prepare for breast augmentation it will help you ease the anxiety you may be feeling no matter if you are just starting to consider it, you have already booked a consultation with your plastic surgeon or you are counting the days before D-day.

Read the following tips.

EXPLORE THE BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY

Before making your decision, learn about this surgery as much as you can – what it involves in every detail. This way you will be sure that this surgery is right for you and that you are comfortable going through this process.

TRY TO BE IN THE BEST EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL SHAPE

This is important for your surgery to be successful and for your recovery of course. You will have a much faster and better healing experience. This means that you have a stable weight and are generally healthy. As for emotional state – don’t neglect it. You need to feel okay about the procedure and surround yourself with supportive people like a boyfriend, husband, friend or family member who will be by your side all the time.

FOLLOW YOUR SURGEON’S RECOMMENDATIONS

This may include a lot of different advice like proper nutrition, regular sleep and exercise and minimizing stress. Now, this is not always easy, but be positive about your surgery. Remember – it’s just for you and the end result will be more than satisfactory.

BE STRAIGHT WITH YOUR SURGEON

This means that you need to inform him about all medications, vitamins and supplements you are taking and about all the illnesses or conditions you may have. This could interfere with your surgery and prolong your recovery period – this is something you definitely don’t want to happen.

Finally,

MAKE POST-OP ARRANGEMENTS

Because you don’t want to come home after surgery and be unprepared for your recovery. First, arrange for someone to drive you home because you won’t be able to do it because of anesthesia side effects.

Then do everything around the house that you won’t be able to do in the next period. Put all your food in the lower levels to avoid reaching for it.

Make sure to get post-op garments like comfy sports bras that have clips on the front and don’t have wires.
Prepare loads of ice packs – they will help you with post-op swelling.

Keep taking prescribed medications if your surgeon gave you the green light. Just avoid blood thinners because they can interfere with your surgery and recovery in terms of causing prolonged bleeding.

On the day of surgery, bring a list of last-minute questions for the surgeon – you never know what will pop into your mind.

That’s it – you’re ready! Remember – all detailed instructions will be given to you by your surgeon. Just follow them and your breast augmentation journey will be smooth and positive.

3. THE BIG QUESTION – HOW LONG AM I UNDER ANESTHESIA DURING BREAST AUGMENTATION?

It’s only natural to ask this question and to feel a bit nervous about it. But knowing some general guidelines about anesthesia will give you a bit of peace of mind.

For this surgery, you are under general anesthesia even though it is quite a quick procedure. In most cases it lasts for 1 hour, so during that time, you are completely asleep. You are unaware of what’s happening around you nor you will remember the surgery itself when you wake up.

Since you are fully asleep, an anesthesiologist monitors your vital signs while your plastic surgeon and the staff are performing the surgery. So, you are in good hands all through the process of breast augmentation.

Another question that you may ask is whether anesthesia is painful. Let me tell you right away – no, it isn’t. With today’s advanced techniques used for delivering anesthesia, the only discomfort you may feel is a needle prick for IV. Otherwise, no other pain should be felt.

Finally, you may also be wondering how long it takes to wake up. Well, usually 30 minutes to one hour. So there you have it – you will be under anesthesia for an hour and a half or max two hours. Let’s admit – that’s not too long, considering that breast augmentation is major surgery.

JUST DON’T FORGET – arrange for someone to pick you up from the hospital and drive you home.

4. I REALLY WANT TO HEAD TO THE BEACH – BUT WHEN SHOULD I DO IT AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION?

Think about this – you have always been self-conscious about your breasts and the way they look in bikinis or other swimsuits.
And now after, breast augmentation, you can finally get a bikini that will show your fuller and better-shaped breasts. You are eager to present your new and proportionate figure.

But, you need to be a bit patient and listen to your body, before you hit the beach.

Why?

Because you want to avoid unnecessary complications.

Everyone is different, your body is different and perhaps you will feel that these time limitations are too long for you and that you are ready to enjoy beach activities, but just keep them in mind:

If your scars are dry and properly healed you can go underwater after 6 to 8 weeks. And you can go swimming in the lake, sea, ocean or other natural water after 3 months. Your incisions need to be completely healed so you don’t catch bacteria from the water. This is because this water is untreated and you don’t want to end up with an unnecessary infection. If you do go to the beach sooner, just don’t get your incisions wet.

Also, try not to expose to the sun too soon after the surgery. The sun can increase your swelling or make your scars darker than they should be.

Be patient with beach activities like volleyball for example. It is too strenuous for you in the early stage of recovery, so wait for 6 to 8 weeks before you serve a ball.

One last thing – after the surgery, your breasts need to be properly supported. So you’ll need to wear a compression garment or a sports bra for 4 to 6 weeks before you can slip on a fun and flattering swimsuit top.
So, just take your time.

Waiting for 6 weeks is not that big a deal when you know that after that you will be able to fully enjoy your fun day at the beach.

5. WHEN CAN I WEAR A REGULAR BRA AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION?

Another thing you can’t wait to do after your surgery is shop for new tops, shirts and, well – normal bras. You want to highlight your awesome new figure and that’s completely legit.

But, again you’ll need to be a bit patient before you head on a shopping spree.

Your new breasts will need some time to drop into their position in the breast pocket and fluff – more precisely 3 months. So, if you buy new bras too soon, later when you actually see the end result of your breast augmentation surgery, you may find that they don’t fit you correctly. You may also have some residual swelling and when it finally settles, your new bras will be too big.

Also, the exact moment when you can start wearing normal bras depends on the type of implants you got. You’ll need to wear a sports bra or compression garment if you got silicon breast implants because your new breasts need to be supported as they are healing.

Also, it is important if your silicones are smooth and round or textured and teardrop-shaped. For smooth and round implants it can take months before they drop and settle, and for teardrop implants, you need to super support them in order to prevent them from rotating and creating an unnatural look.

So, what can you do to avoid this and still wear a bra?

Simply buy some cheap bras while you are recovering. Just make sure that they are comfy and don’t have a wire. A wire could potentially disrupt your incisions and that’s something you don’t need while you’re healing from the surgery.

6. I KNOW MY NEW BREASTS WILL FEEL TIGHT AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION, BUT WHEN DO THEY STOP?

This is something everyone wonders – why are my new breasts hard and how long will they stay like that? To tell you right away, once you get silicone implants your breasts start to heal and swell and that’s why you feel tightness. It takes time for the muscles and tissues around your implants to stretch and get used to the added volume. As your breast pockets expand your breasts start to fluff, drop and get that natural look and feel you were expecting.

So, when does that happen?

Generally, after 2 to 3 months post-op, your new breasts will get softer and more settled. As for tightness, you may have to wait for 6 months to fully resolve. It’s simple – as I said your new breasts need time to accept the new implant and once that happens, your breasts will feel like a part of your body again.

But, tightness after breast augmentation surgery is normal and leads towards the end result you desired – improved, perkier and natural-looking breasts.

7. WHEN IS IT OKAY TO SLEEP ON MY SIDE AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION?

EXTRA TIP: Try to get used to sleeping on your back prior to the surgery.

That way you will be already accustomed to this sleeping position. And it won’t be so uncomfortable post-op.

8. MY BREASTS ARE SWOLLEN AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION – HOW CAN I REDUCE IT?

To tell you right away, swelling is normal after this type of surgery. Your body is reacting to surgery and swelling is part of your healing process. But there are some things you can do to decrease this uncomfortable feeling, so read the following tips.
Just to know, most swelling appears in the first 3 days and then slowly decreases. By the end of 3 weeks, there is a huge difference in how much your swelling has reduced. By the end of week 6, the swelling should be cut in half, and after 6 months your swelling should be completely gone.

GOOD TIP: Take a photo of your breasts right after the surgery and 3 weeks after to compare.

Now let’s go back to the tips.

DON’T NEGLECT YOUR COMPRESSION GARMENT

You’ll wear it right after the surgery for a couple of weeks. Then you can wear a tight sports bra with no wires or cups to keep your new breasts properly supported. Now, these compression garments and sports bras may not look very attractive or comfortable but they do their jobs – they reduce the swelling much faster.

APPLY COLD COMPRESSES

Ice can really help you reduce swelling in the first 3 days. You can put ice packs or towels stuffed with ice or even bags of frozen peas on the treated area, just not directly in contact with your skin, always wrap the frozen item with something.  Do it for 15 minutes and then take a break for 20 minutes. Cold constricts your blood vessels and limits fluids and blood leaks.

PRO TIP: Ice and cold can also reduce your bruises.

Just make sure not to apply it directly onto your incisions to avoid irritation.

TRY TO SLEEP IN AN ELEVATED POSITION

Now, since you need to sleep on your back after surgery, try to sleep with your chest a bit higher than your lower body. This way you can improve circulation and relieve the pressure of your breasts – and reduce the swelling.

EXTRA TIP: Try to sleep on ‘a neck pillow’ – it can really help you sleep more comfortably in this position.

HYDRATE, HYDRATE, AND HYDRATE

Isn’t this a bit contradictory? You may wonder. But actually, it isn’t. When you drink a lot of water while you are recovering post-op, your body flushes away everything you don’t need, swelling included.

DON’T STRAIN YOURSELF – TAKE IT EASY

Just take as much rest as you can. No reaching, lifting heavy things or moving around quickly should be on the list of your routine – your swelling can get even worse. So, move around the house slowly and your swelling will resolve faster.

Just think – you definitely don’t want to compromise the end result of your breast augmentation surgery.

9. MY BREAST AUGMENTATION POST-OP RECOVERY HAS STARTED – WHEN CAN I REMOVE THE BANDAGES?

I realize that coming home after your surgery with tons of bandages wrapped around your new breasts is not a pretty sight. But luckily you don’t have to wear them for a long time.

Actually, the moment you can remove your bandages depends on what kind of bandages you have.

If your bandages are held in place by your postoperative garment, you need to remove them and place new ones once a day for a week until you meet with your surgeon for a follow-up appointment. The surgeon will then tell you if you can totally remove your bandages.

If on the other hand, you have bandages that are held by clear plastic tape, you can remove the bandages 2 days post-surgery.

When bandages are off, you will be left with sutures or stitches. They can be dissolvable or you’ll need to head to your surgeon to pull them out – of course when the time comes.

10. HOW CAN I RELIEVE PAIN AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY?

Again, I must point out that experiencing some level of pain after this surgery is normal and expected. But you can do some simple tricks to minimize it.

Your surgeon will of course prescribe you pain medications. They can be upsetting for the stomach so they are generally taken with anti-nausea medication and after you have eaten well.

However, you can also try some basic exercises to relax the muscles and therefore ease the pain. Just make sure your surgeon gives you the green light to do them.

For example, you can do a simple shoulder roll, where you lift your shoulders up and down to your ears every day 10 times. Then you can move your shoulders forward and backward in a circulation motion.

Then go with arm circles, which you do in a sitting position and very very slowly. Do it 10 times forward and then 10 times backward.

Finally, try stretching your arms by placing your forearm on top of your head and then touching your elbow with the other hand. Keep the hand on your elbow for 10 seconds and then switch. This exercise helps you to stretch pectoral muscles.

REMEMBER: avoid lifting heavy objects and do all these exercises gently and slowly.

11. I FEEL MUCH BETTER NOW – WHEN CAN I DRIVE AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY?

You definitely feel impatient to resume your daily activities after your surgery – driving included. But here, you really have to listen to your body and feel when you are ready to sit behind the wheel again.

Generally, it can be after one week to several weeks post-op. So, the first week will definitely keep you at home but after that, if your surgeon says it’s okay, you can start driving again. You must admit – one week is not that long.

The reason why you need to wait for at least a week is pain medications that can make you feel drowsy. Also, you will need to move slowly because of stitches, swelling and so on – your attention won’t be fully on the road.

So, it all boils down to this – wait until you are recovered enough to drive again. Maybe it will take two weeks, but that’s totally okay because every breast augmentation surgery is different and the pace of recovery is different too.

12. I LOST SOME OF THE SENSATION IN MY BREAST – HOW CAN I GET IT BACK?

This happens because some of the nerves in your breasts got disrupted by the surgery or are compressed because of the swelling. The loss of sensation may last for a couple of months but there are some things you can do to feel better.

The nerves will naturally start to regenerate and you may feel itching and sometimes even pain in your new breasts.
Don’t hesitate to touch the numb areas of your breast – massage them to stimulate the nerves and speed up their regeneration. You can combine massaging your breasts with daily massaging of the scars. Focus on the nipple area as well – by massaging your nipples you restore or create new paths of sensation between your brain and your breasts.

Do it yourself, because it will also help you to accept your new breasts and feel as if they are part of your body again.

One fact that might lower the chances of losing sensation in your breasts is the size of your implants. So, think about it beforehand and choose the implant size that is proportionate to your chest diameter. With only slightly smaller implants, you will disturb fewer nerves and so keep most of the sensations in your breasts as before.

13. I HAD BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY AND THEN GOT PREGNANT – NOW WHAT?

Ah – the beauty of expecting a child! You can’t always control when you’ll get pregnant so surprises tend to happen in that department. Even right after you had your breast augmentation surgery. So you start thinking that this surgery might harm you or your baby, but don’t. Because there is no direct risk to your pregnancy because of this surgery.

First, what pops into your mind is will I be able to breastfeed?

Let’s say, probably yes. However, if you are a first-time mum you don’t even know if you’ll be able to breastfeed with implants or without. To find out, you’ll need to wait for your baby to be born and then deal with it. So breast implants have nothing to do in this case. They are usually placed under the chest muscles and the breast tissue lays above this muscle. So, no worries there.

Next, you may wonder if incisions can harm milk ducts.

They shouldn’t harm them because they are made under the breasts and as I said, the implants are placed through the incisions under the breast tissue.

Finally, you may ask yourself – how will pregnancy affect the look of my new breasts?

Well, it all depends. I can’t stress enough that every woman is different and every breast augmentation is special. I could say that if you don’t gain a lot of weight during pregnancy and if you got smaller implants then you won’t notice significant changes in your breasts. Your breasts do get larger during pregnancy, but not because of implants.

It may happen that breasts glands stretch the skin of your breasts, but after pregnancy, your breasts can simply return to their normal size again.

If on the other hand, you do get saggy breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding then you can simply get a breast lift procedure and return your breasts to their normal pre-pregnancy position.

So, as you can see, getting pregnant right after breast augmentation is not that big a deal.

14. MY CHEST MUSCLES ARE SORE AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION – HOW CAN I RELAX THEM?

This is something that is usual after breast augmentation but it can be quite uncomfortable. Fortunately, there is something you can do like taking a massage.First of all, your chest muscles are tight because they are in spasm after the surgery. And you know that when any muscle is in spasm it hurts.

So, when you get your implants under the chest muscles they need some time to relax again.
This is where massage can help. When you get a back massage it immediately relaxes your front chest muscles. All these muscles are connected by fibrous tissue. So once you relax your back muscles you will relieve the spasm in the front muscles that go over your breast muscles.

Just get this massage in a sitting position of course – not while lying on your stomach.

Next, you can also directly massage your breasts – it will also relax chest muscles. Do it gently and softly because if you press your breasts too hard you can end up feeling even more pain, or dislocating your implant.
So how do you do it?

The usual breast massage is the implant roll – you take off your bra, use your open palm and press it under the nipple. And then you roll your palm upward against the chest wall. Do it for 10 to 15 seconds, 3 to 5 times a day.

Last, but not least keep a good posture. This may sound like something I don’t even need to mention, but it is important. If you stand upright and sleep in the proper position you will relax your chest muscles by taking the unnecessary stress from them. Pretty soon your muscles will get stronger and you will feel more comfortable and relaxed.

15. MY BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY IS FINISHED – WHAT CAN I EXPECT NOW?

Okay, you’ve done your research, found a perfect plastic surgeon, prepared for the surgery, had the surgery and now what. Well, you need to recover before you can enjoy your new boobies and start shopping for new clothes.

So, let’s talk about what you can expect after your surgery.

THE VERY FIRST DAY AFTER THE SURGERY

As I’ve already mentioned, you can go home soon after it’s all finished, and you don’t feel nausea from the anesthesia. If you feel comfortable enough, the doctor lets you go home. If you feel like you need to spend the night at the surgical facility, that’s okay too. If you do go home, remember that someone needs to pick you up.

You get instruction from your surgeon on how to take care of your bandages and incisions – follow them because you do want to heal as quickly as possible and avoid being left with scars.

And then you just rest. You will think that the surgery was performed on you, but actually, your body is the active participant here. It starts its natural healing process to help you recover. So you just need to rest and let your body do the work.

THE FIRST WEEK AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY

During the first week, your body is working hard to heal your incisions. Eat well, to give your body enough energy. Keep relaxing and steer clear of heavy lifting, even if you feel well. You will feel the discomfort where your incisions are and the swelling will climax on the third day. Your new breasts will also feel tight. In general, your breasts won’t look like themselves.

REMEMBER: Don’t feel post-op blues.

Again, your new boobs may look too big on one day, or too small on the other. The worst you can think about is whether you have made the right decision. But, try not to give in to these gloomy thoughts. All the discomfort will eventually pass and then you will say to yourself – I should have done this sooner.

THE FIRST MONTH AFTER THE BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY

You will start feeling much better at the start of the second week. You will probably get a green light to drive again. You will still have to wear bras that don’t have wires but soft sports bras. Your breasts still need to be properly supported. After this first month, you will probably be able to start working out again – only slowly of course and return to your normal routine.

THE FIRST YEAR AFTER BREAST AUG SURGERY

Once the first month is over, your swelling will noticeably drop. Your incisions should be almost completely healed. You will still have some swelling in the next months but it will become hardly noticeable.

Also, the scars will change and may look even worse than before. But you need to be patient because scars need a year or a year and a half to start looking as they will look forever. Just follow the instructions about taking care of your scars and you will minimize their appearance – this will ensure the results you wanted. Pretty soon you will feel rejuvenated and start getting compliments from others. But most importantly you will feel great in your body and feel that confidence boost you have always needed.

So, that’s it in short. Think of this year as a year of transition – towards your newly found confidence about your awesome new look.

16. I AM YEARNING FOR A BATH – WHEN CAN I TAKE ONE AFTER MY BREAST AUGMENTATION?

If you are the type of person that likes to relax and take the load off in a nice long, hot, bubbly bath it’s completely natural that you will want to continue this routine ASAP. Good news – you don’t have to wait too long.

So, we’ve already established that you will have stitches after the surgery and that you need to take care of them to reduce your scars. Taking a bath right away won’t be a good idea, because your stitches need 48 hours to close completely. So you can’t submerge them into the water at first.

In the first 2 days, you should even avoid showering, but after that, you need to clean the incisions with a sponge, soft cloth or gauze wetted with lukewarm water. You can use non-irritation soap to gently clean the area around the incisions, so don’t disrupt or rub the incisions directly.

So, basically, you’ll need to wait for your incisions to fully heal until you can take a bath and that’s approximately 6 weeks. Not too long you must admit – just be a bit patient and you’ll enjoy the scented hot baths as you used to before.

17. HOW CAN I RECOVER SUPER FAST AFTER MY BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY?

Okay, it won’t be super fast, but doing some useful things pre and post-op can certainly help you go through your breast augmentation journey smoother and quicker.

So, what can you do?

PREPARE THE PLACE YOU WILL BE RECOVERING – BEFOREHAND

This way you can start your recovery right after the surgery. Put all the things you need close to your bed or recliner – pain medications, vitamins, TV remote, books, etc.

HELP IS MORE THAN WELCOME

Have someone by your side at least for the first week. It can be your
partner, cousin or friend. It’s important to have someone support you both physically and emotionally.

EAT HEALTHY AND HYDRATE WELL

Healthy nutrition is vital during your recovery. As I said your body needs the energy to recover. Include almonds, apples, bananas, oranges eggs, beans and rice in your diet, but try to avoid salty food – it can increase the swelling.

Drink loads of water, lemonade or orange juice to help your body flush away all unnecessary residue, but steer clear of fizzy drinks and alcohol for a couple of weeks.

SAY NO TO SMOKING PRE AND POST-OP

Smoking can interfere with the speed of your recovery because it constricts your blood vessels and lowers your blood supply which is more than necessary for a fast recovery. Try to avoid smoking six weeks pre and post-op.

JUST REST

And I mean get a lot of rest. Don’t go to work for at least 2 weeks and take it easy. Your mobility will return slowly but until it does don’t make any sudden movements. You don’t want to disrupt your new breasts.

WHAT YOUR SURGEON SAYS GOES

This should be in the first place on this list. Follow all the instructions given by your surgeon to recover quickly and smoothly.

DON’T NEGLECT YOUR COMPRESSION GARMENT

Wear it as instructed. It provides proper support to your new breasts but also reduces swelling and bruising. This definitely helps you speed up your recovery.

The general timeline for recovery is 6 to 8 weeks. If you feel that you need even more time that’s totally okay. If you feel that you are well enough to start with your normal daily routine sooner than that, that’s okay too. Just check it with your surgeon first.

REMEMBER: proper recovery will lead you to the best final results.

18. HOW CAN I PREVENT STRETCH MARKS AFTER BREAST AUG SURGERY?

Stretch marks may appear on your new breasts because the skin is stretched to accommodate the implants.
So, it needs a bit of time to adjust and return its elasticity. There are some things you can do to prevent stretch marks from becoming too visible.

BE CONSISTENT WITH YOUR AFTERCARE REGIME

Keep your skin moisturized with products that have Vitamin E. Massage these products gently into your breasts and your skin will be hydrated and elastic. You can combine these products with a scar minimization routine, usually 6 weeks post-op.

CONSULT YOUR SURGEON ABOUT OTHER TREATMENTS

There are several treatment option that can reduce the appearance of stretch marks like laser treatments, microneedling and others. The best thing you can do is ask your doctor to recommend which one would be the most suitable in your case.

REMEMBER: if stretch marks do appear after your breast aug surgery they will fade with time.

Help your skin to adapt to the implants and you will prevent stretch marks and get the best results.

19. HOW MUCH DO I NEED TO PAY FOR MY BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY IN DUBAI?

This is another big question and perhaps the first question that pops into your mind when you think about breast augmentation. That’s totally normal.

Let’s discuss it.

I’ll tell you right away (again) that every breast augmentation surgery is different because every patient is different. So, the total cost may vary accordingly.

The surgery cost is affected by the choice of implant type and its size. The latest generation of implants may cost more than usual. There are some other expenses that have to be covered as hospital stays for example.
So, what can you do?

The best thing is to schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon. You can talk about the best financial options for you and cover all the details regarding the surgery and of course, how and how much to pay for it.

That’s it. I hope these answers have helped you to better understand some facts about breast augmentation surgery.

Now, over to you – schedule a consultation with Lucia’s plastic surgeons and find out what this surgery can do for you.

With the upcoming festive time, it’s time to look your best. You can spend your holidays reuniting with your friends, seeing your family or meeting your work colleagues. On all these social occasions, you want to feel radiant and confident and not worried about early signs of aging. Or you want to eliminate those stubborn inches of fat under your chin or anywhere else on your body.

If you start noticing aging signs on your face, you may feel anxious about reuniting with people you love and not feel excited about holidays. But at Lucia Clinic, you can get various anti-aging treatments like Dermal Fillers, Profhilo and of course, Botox. All treatments are safe, minimally invasive, and effective in reducing or completely erasing wrinkles and fine lines. They also restore facial volume. You can take years off your face with these treatments. Or if you want to turn to the most popular non-invasive treatments, try Ultherapy, EmSculpt NEO or Laser Hair Removal – all perfect for your holiday preparations.

NOVEMBER IS THE PERFECT MONTH FOR ANTI-AGING TREATMENTS

Anti-aging injectable treatments are super effective but their full results are not seen immediately. You need one week to notice the full effects of Botox and two weeks for most Dermal Fillers. Most injectables enhance the production of your own collagen and elastin so their full effects are improved with time. It all depends on how long your body needs to start its natural healing. Some patients even say they notice a further enhancement in the volume and tightness of their skin one or two months after getting dermal fillers. Also, for non-invasive treatments like Ultherapy, EmSculpt NEO or Laser hair removal, you might need more treatment sessions to achieve the best results.

So it would be best to have Botox or Dermal Fillers injected in November – a perfect amount of time before the holiday season starts. Before you head off to your first Christmas or festive party, all the effects of anti-aging treatments will have settled and you will look youthful and radiant. Or you will have completed all the sessions of non-invasive treatments. Also, since these treatments don’t require downtime, you don’t need to take time off work to get them. You can spend your holiday time doing something meaningful. So, start this holiday season feeling confident.

GET THAT SMOOTH SKIN WITH THE BOTOX TREATMENT

If you have dynamic wrinkles that appear because of your muscles creasing, Botox is perfect for that skin issue. It is carefully injected into specific facial muscles that cause those wrinkles. The muscles temporarily relax, and your wrinkles disappear. Take care of Frown Lines or Crow’s Feet and take years off your face. It’s time to have this treatment and sparkle at your holiday parties. With just one treatment session, you can significantly improve the appearance of your skin. Your skin will be smooth, fresh, and youthful-looking. So, prepare for this holiday season and feel merry with a magical touch of Botox.

REFRESH YOUR FACE WITH DERMAL FILLERS

Dermal Fillers are super effective in filling in wrinkles and fine lines on your face. But that’s not all they do. Dermal fillers also improve other blemishes like acne scars and hollows under the eyes. Fillers can restore their volume and make you look refreshed and youthful again if you are bothered by your sunken cheeks. You can choose different types of fillers depending on your needs and aesthetic goals. Dermal Filler like Juvederm is full of hyaluronic acid, a natural ingredient of your skin. But hyaluronic acid slowly reduces with time so your skin needs a little boost of it with Dermal fillers. On top of that, they also start collagen production which is super essential for your skin’s overall health look. So you get an instant filling effect and improvement of your skin and a prolonged impact because your skin gradually looks even better as collagen builds up.

IMPROVE YOUR SKIN TEXTURE WITH CUTTING-EDGE PROFHILO TREATMENT

For excellent skin rejuvenation, Profhilo injectable treatment is one of the most effective ones. It is full of stabilized hyaluronic acid that can dramatically improve the appearance of your skin. It improves your skin elasticity, boosts its firmness and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. On top of that, it hydrates your skin, evens its tone and texture and makes it softer. Profhilo injectable can rejuvenate your cheeks, wrinkles around your lips, Marionette lines and wrinkles around your eyes. You can go even further and use it to enhance your jaw, neck, decolletage and arms – this injectable product is really versatile. Forget about dull, dehydrated skin – after Profhilo treatment, you will shine on your festive parties.

LIFT, TIGHTEN AND REFINE LOOSE SKIN WITH ULTHERAPY TREATMENT

Get flawless skin that beams with radiance and vitality with this hit treatment. It strengthens your skin by boosting collagen and elastin, super essential proteins that keep your skin beautiful and youthful. It’s great that you can also have this treatment done on your neck and decolletage in a non-invasive way and with no downtime at all.

It lifts your jawline, defines your facial contours and eliminates fine lines and wrinkles, all in a non-invasive and comfortable way. The results you get with this treatment are natural-looking – your brows are subtly lifted and your jawline is better defined. Ultherapy is safe and fast – ideal for getting ready for the upcoming holiday season.

GET FIT WITH THE EMSCULPT NEO TREATMENT

It will melt those unwanted fat cells in a flash – just in time for your festive clothes. But that’s not all it does.

So you won’t have to deal with unwanted side effects – you will finally get that smooth skin on your arms, legs, bikini area or other areas of your body. Laser Hair Removal gives you long-lasting results, but you may need several treatment sessions to achieve them. This is simply because all your unwanted hair doesn’t grow simultaneously. But don’t worry – start with Laser Hair Removal now and you will have plenty of time to get that gorgeous skin before all the festivities start.

GENTS, IT’S ALSO YOUR TIME TO GET READY FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON

Don’t think that we have forgotten about you! You also have your specific skin concerns and aesthetic goals. Injectable treatments are the most effective procedures that will bring you a youthful appearance but keep your masculine features. They don’t require long downtime, so they are perfect for the upcoming holidays. Aging signs like wrinkles and fine fines and loss of volume in the facial skin can impact your confidence in your business and personal social interactions. So put an end to that and clear those deep furrows in your forehead or frown lines with Botox – or as you call it ‘Brotox’. It will make you look younger, refreshed and ready to hit the holiday parties.

Or if you don’t like the apparent loss of volume in your cheeks or under the eye area, Dermal Fillers are the answer. Let that powerful hyaluronic acid return that natural fullness of your face and soften wrinkles and fine lines around your lips. Or make your chin and jowls more defined. You will look masculine, healthy and younger without taking time off work and with long-lasting results. So, prepare for the festive season and feel and look your best.

Or you can opt for non-invasive treatment like Ultherapy and finally get rid of that double chin.

You can have an Ultherapy session during your lunch break. Best of all, after completing all Ultherapy treatment sessions you will be the star of your holiday celebrations with your youthful and refreshed look.

Get ready to have six packs in just four treatment sessions. Start with EmSculpt NEO treatment now, and you will be more than prepared for the holiday season.

In dermatology and aesthetic beauty, it is always a priority to be innovative and creative – this is something Dr. Lukian knows really well. Next to taking care of their clients’ skin, Dr. Lukian and her team are the ones who always offer the newest techniques, products and treatments. This and of course the highest quality of service has led them to become the leading aesthetic clinic in the Middle East and worldwide. This, among other things, has Dr. Lukian recently discussed in her interview for the prestigious Emirates Woman magazine. This eminent doctor was also featured in Mojeh Magazine, as one of 100 women that shaped the region.

Let’s see, what. Dr. Lukian had to say on this topic.

DR. RADMILA LUKIAN – A LADY WHO LOVES CHALLENGES

Challenging herself is in Dr. Lukian nature – without challenges you can succeed. Setting up a dermatology clinic was definitely one of the biggest challenges for Dr. Lukian but she did it all by herself – learned how to do business and follow the laws. Now she is recognized all over the world including the USA. As a superior professional and creative aesthetic doctor, Dr. Lukian shares her knowledge of new technologies and techniques, especially in the field of non-surgical facelifts. But she doesn’t shy away from working with experts and getting training from the best. Dr. Lukian is always among the keynote speakers at congresses in Europe, Asia and the USA but is also determined to learn from other experts.

LUCIA CLINIC – A PLACE OF CONSTANT DEVELOPMENT

When Dr. Lukian founded Lucia Clinic she was the only doctor. Now, 10 years later her team consists of more than 40 doctors, skin experts, external consultants and others. And the number is still growing. But, her view on the business hasn’t changed – every single patient deserves individual attention because every skin is different. Every client gets a tailor-made treatment no matter if that treatment is aesthetic, dermatological or plastic surgery. Dr. Lukian and her team are devoted to helping their clients live healthier and happier lives. That’s why Lucia Clinic is so much more than a medical center.

STAYING AHEAD OF THE GAME

In the world of major competition, how is staying competitive possible? By knowing the international and national markets and being the first to implement innovations. Lucia Clinic is the leader in the GCC market, with the newest products, treatments and techniques. They included 4 groundbreaking technologies in the last year. And they are the first to do it in Asia. This says a lot about them – they are always the first to find out about the latest developments in their field. And since the field of aesthetics and dermatology is always developing, keeping pace with these changes is one of the things that makes you a leader.

DUBAI – A CITY OF OPPORTUNITIES

Dr. Lukian first came to this beautiful city to give a lecture at a conference. Soon, she fell in love with this city of lights. Dubai offers so many opportunities for people with clear visions and unique ideas. Dr. Lukian was definitely one of those people. She founded a clinic where doctors’ expert opinion comes first. This is a new concept of running this type of business. Even though there were obstacles, they didn’t stop Dr. Lukian from developing her vision and completing her mission. One more thing that made this city appealing was its multiculturalism. Working with so many different people was another challenge for Dr. Lukian as a doctor and as a dermatologist.

Today, Dr. Lukian and her team have so many clients with different skin types. This gives them a chance to be creative and approach every skin type differently.

TREND-SETTING IN THE DERMATOLOGY AND AESTHETIC WORLD

How do you get this role in business? Of course, by working hard, challenging yourself, constant improvement and listening to your clients. This is Dr. Lukian’s company culture – always try to find ways to enhance the business and cut down on unproductiveness. Dr. Lukian always encourages her team members to suggest ideas on how to improve efficiency – together they find ways to improve their services. Apart from that, Dr. Lukian believes that it is important to learn about new treatments, new techniques and new products all the time and apply them in the business. That’s how you become a trend-setter – you gather the knowledge and offer your clients brand-new but always high-quality services.

GOING BEYOND THE EMIRATES

Although Lucia Clinic is located in Dubai, Dr. Lukian has always strived to combine her European touch with aesthetic treatments and dermatology. This shows her true creativity – implementing knowledge and beauty standards from Europe with wonderful diversity in the Emirates. This is something unique and singles out Lucia Clinic. Every client can get a specific treatment that is currently trendy in his/her own country. The beauty standard are constantly changing and to stay ahead of the game, you need to follow those standards but also set your own. The clients really appreciate this – they can choose the treatments that are most suitable for their skin and still keep up with the trends.

LUCIA CLINIC – A BEAUTY SANCTUARY FOR CELEBRITIES

It’s not said in vain that Lucia Clinic is the place where Dubai goes for beauty. A lot of national and international VIPs visit it for VIP treatment. They trust Dr. Lukian and their team when it comes to their aesthetic desires. Every client has a tailor-made treatment that works especially for his/her skin issues. Also, the openness and friendliness of all Lucia Clinic employees create a welcoming atmosphere – everybody, including Lindsey Lohan, Huda Kattan, Jelena Jankovic, Eva Longoria and many others, says that Lucia Clinic is their first destination when they come to Dubai. This trust and recognition are definitely earned by Dr. Lukian’s absolute devotion to all clients and, of course, her professionalism.

THE LATEST TREND – HEALTHY LIVING

As Dr. Lukian and her team are more for the holistic approach to aesthetic and dermatology treatments, this trend has brought many new clients to Lucia Clinic. Dr. Lukian understands her clients’ desire to feel good, live healthy and have cosmetic treatments that bring natural-looking results. Beauty comes from the inside – from our emotions and soul. What we eat is also important for our beauty, as well as physical activity. Everything is shown on our skin – how well we eat, how much we sleep and how active we are. All those factors contribute to feeling good and healthy on the inside and they are mirrored on the outside. So, apart from suggesting proper treatments for keeping the skin fresh, radiant and youthful, Dr. Lukian is always more than willing to advise her clients on how to adopt healthy lifestyle habits.

A WHOLE PLETHORA OF NEW CLIENTS

Another research and another trend have attracted new clients to Lucia Clinic – men. Men are more and more open to aesthetic treatments because of very simple reasons – they want to stay competitive and youthful in the social and business world. Lucia Clinic welcomes men from all walks of life and offers them bespoke treatments that keep their facial skin fresh and younger-looking. Of course, the results of these treatments are nothing but natural-looking – the key is to refresh their skin but keep tier masculinity. Men can also get treatments that sculpt their body areas by trimming inches of unwanted fat tissue. Another group of new clients is the young Z generation. They are looking for dermatologists that will start taking care of their skin and advise them on how to maintain their skin healthily and radiantly. So, Lucia Clinic is there for everyone – every client no matter his age or gender is treated with care and professionalism.

LISTENING TO THE PATIENTS IS THE KEY

All patients are different. They have different stories and different skin issues. And of course, different aesthetic goals. So paying attention to what the patient has to say is important when determining which treatment is the best for him. With a huge experience in aesthetic and anti-aging procedures, Dr. Lukian and her team always go the extra mile to create a treatment that will help the client feel good on the outside but also on the inside. When the clients feel that they are truly heard, they build a relationship with the dermatologist that is based on trust and confidence.

LUCIA CLINIC WILL KEEP UP BEING A PIONEER

Even though Lucia Clinic has built its reputation and earned the trust of many clients, continuing with improvements is something that will never be neglected.

October is a month of Breast Cancer Awareness where patients share their stories, address the stigma of this disease and engage the public. Pink October is also a month of learning about how to continue with your life after breast cancer and getting support for having breast reconstruction surgery.

For women who already had or will have a mastectomy because they’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer or are at risk of developing it, breast reconstructive surgery is one of the options for rebuilding their lost breast or breasts and helping them feel at least a little good about themselves again.

It’s not easy to accept that you gave up a part of your body that makes you feel like a woman. It’s normal to feel sad or anxious about it because your breasts make you look good in clothes or how you feed your babies. Nobody can deprive you of those memories. But now, you can move forward and decide what you want to do next and if breast reconstruction surgery is the right for you.

There are many questions that spring to your mind the moment you decide to have breast reconstruction surgery – Will it make me feel whole again? Where do I find the best surgeon? Will I need to recover for a long time? What kind of surgeries are there? And so on. Let’s try to answer some of those questions and bring this type of surgery closer to you.

Getting a breast rebuilt is just your choice. People around you should support the decision you make about it. This surgery may help you feel emotionally and physically like yourself again, but it’s essential to consider all the aspects before you actually have it. All the reasons you have when considering breast reconstruction are only yours. You may choose to have this surgery to balance your breasts while wearing a swimsuit or bra. Another reason could be making your clothes fit better. Also, you might decide on breast rebuild because you don’t want to wear an external breast prosthesis and you want to permanently return your breast or breasts to their previous shape. In the end, you may decide to have this surgery because of one simple reason – you want to feel good about your body again. Even though breast reconstruction leaves scars on your breast, they should fade with time. Numerous new techniques lower the number of scars. After reconstruction surgery, your breasts will be symmetrical again, and help you feel good and attractive in your clothes.

There are two main techniques of breast reconstruction -breast implants and autologous or flap reconstruction. Sometimes they can be used together.

Breast implants are made of silicone gel and come in different shapes and sizes. There are new generations of implants that are of the highest quality, which means that you don’t need to replace them every ten years. If you are not experiencing any problems with them, they can last forever. Breast reconstruction with implants is somewhat easier to perform, and recovery is faster. Your plastic surgeon may place the implant on top of your chest muscle or beneath it. This decision is made after the mastectomy because the surgeon can see how much breast skin has remained and if it is thick enough to hold the implant. If not, the implant can’t be placed on the top of the muscle. On the other hand, if a lot of chest muscle or tissue was removed, then placing the implant under the muscle may not be a good choice. In any case, your plastic surgeon will find the best solution for you, because every woman is different and is in a different situation.

Autologous or flap reconstruction is another technique for breast reconstruction. The surgeon takes tissue from a donor area like your abdomen, thighs or back and transfers it to your breasts. This technique is perhaps more difficult to perform but in the long run, it can be a good option. A skilled surgeon can perform this surgery like an artist – you won’t have to deal with it again because it can last forever. The condition to have this technique performed for breast reconstruction is that you have enough tissue in your donor sites that can be transferred into your breasts. Since this is an entirely natural approach where your own tissue is used, some of that tissue can get reabsorbed by your body. Therefore, the surgeon may have to transfer more tissue than necessary to avoid this. Even though this technique tends to leave more scars on your body, it has been improved to avoid this side effect as much as possible. The surgeon can use advanced liposuction techniques like Tumescent lipo, which is done with just local anesthesia and is much gentler to your skin during tissue extraction.

Next to the technique used for breast reconstruction, you can also consider when this surgery is done. It again depends on your specific situation and what is regarded as the best for you. Your surgeon can perform breast reconstruction at the same time as mastectomy surgery. This is called immediate reconstruction. If this time works well for you, you can have both surgeries simultaneously and wake up with a reconstructed breast or breasts. Here it’s essential that your plastic surgeon and breast cancer surgeon work closely together to perform both surgeries properly. But if you need treatments like radiation or chemotherapy after mastectomy, then this approach may not be the best. Of course, your priority then would be to complete all the necessary treatments first before you can start considering breast reconstruction. As we already mentioned, each situation is different, and it is vital that you and your plastic surgeon are on the same page about the time of your breast rebuild surgery. If it’s better to do breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy and all the treatments, then we talk about delayed reconstruction. It can be performed 6 to 12 months after all the treatments and after your tissue has healed. It can also be done years after the mastectomy, so you don’t have to hurry with it. Once again, it is essential that you consult with your plastic surgeon and decide which option will work best in your case.

The last phase in your breast reconstruction surgery can be nipple and areola rebuild. Here it’s all about your choice, whether you want nipple reconstruction or not. Sometimes, the nipple can be spared during mastectomy and left in its original place. But usually, the nipple is also removed with the rest of the breast during mastectomy. If you decide to have the nipple and areola reconstruction, this surgery will be performed separately. This surgery makes the rebuilt breast look like the original one. You can have this surgery after a couple of months when your newly rebuilt breast has healed. A skillful plastic surgeon can do wonders with this surgery. Your newly reconstructed nipple and areola can almost perfectly match the size, position, texture, projection, and shape of your natural nipple. The surgeon uses the tissue from the reconstructed breast or skin from another area of your body. You can even match the color of your natural nipple and areola with tattooing, which you can get a couple of months after nipple reconstruction.

Another critical question before deciding to have breast reconstruction surgery is how to find the right plastic surgeon. We can tell you right away that Dr. Josipovic is the plastic surgeon you are looking for. He is a certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon who falls in the category of being the  “right” surgeon. He specialized in female breast reconstruction surgery. Apart from being an expert, he is open to meeting and consulting you about every little detail of this type of surgery. He understands that you have many questions and concerns about your breast rebuilt and is happy to answer them. Meeting with Dr. Josipovic is your chance to speak openly, feel as if you are being heard, and get an honest response. Open communication with your plastic surgeon is crucial here – it’s the key to bringing you satisfying results. Even though Dr. Josipovic resides in Dubai, this shouldn’t worry you about traveling here. Many female patients come to Lucia Clinic from different countries because of Dr. Josipovic’s expertise and artistry. This extra effort you invest will be worth a lot later – getting your breast reconstructed the way you want makes a big difference.

During breast awareness month, we must also mention men and their chest issues. Even though breast reconstruction is usually reserved for female patients, a lot of men have problems with gynecomastia and in some rare cases, breast cancer. Dr. Alessandro Caielli is a certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon specializing in gynecomastia surgery and male chest reconstruction. Dr. Caielli is an experienced surgeon whose openness and friendly nature help his male patients to feel more than welcome. There maybe a huge stigma about male breast reduction, but actually, it shouldn’t be so – men deserve to feel confident about their upper body appearance. And meeting with Dr. Caielli brings that confidence closer to men. After having a consultation with this brilliant plastic surgeon, male patients get a customized treatment plan that specifically addresses their concerns about gynecomastia surgery. When Dr. Caielli answers all his male patients’ questions, they realize that having this type of surgery is not taboo. On the contrary, it greatly improves their quality of life.

  In the end, we all understand that when you decide to have breast reconstruction or gynecomastia surgery, the most important thing you need is support– support from your family, friends, and of course, your doctors. When having these surgeries at Lucia Clinic, plastic surgeons and the rest of the team will go the extra mile in helping you feel comfortable and provide you with the best possible care. This singles Lucia Clinic out – each patient is considered as an individual with individual concerns and medical conditions. You are more than welcome at Lucia Clinic.

This month we have prepared awesome specials for you – refresh your eyes with upper Blepharoplasty, freeze away unwanted fat with CoolSculpting or finally get rid of cellulite with EMTone treatment. This month is all about rejuvenating, shaping and slimming – choose the treatment that will make you feel radiant, confident and youthful again.

UPPER EYELID SURGERY AT LUCIA CLINIC

Do you feel that your upper eyelids are too saggy and make you look tired, bothered and older? Then this popular and effective plastic surgery will bring a smile back to your face. By lifting your upper eyelids you can appear rested and rejuvenated. Actually, your whole face can look refreshed after this simple and fast surgical procedure. That’s how powerful it is – only a small improvement in your upper eyelids can make your face look more open and younger.

TAKE YEARS OFF YOUR FACE WITH UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY

The key to this surgery is removing excess fat, skin and muscles that puff your eyelids and make them look heavy. Once you get rid of these culprits of droopy eyelids, you will stop pulling back the skin around your eyes – the appearance of your eyes will finally mirror how you feel. People will stop asking you – Are you tired? Instead, they will wonder -What’s the secret of your rejuvenated look? How did you turn back the time? But nobody will tell that you had an upper Blepharoplasty because the results are completely natural-looking.

LIFT YOUR UPPER EYELIDS FAST AND WITH SHORT DOWNTIME

Upper Blepharoplasty is a straightforward and fast procedure and you can go home soon after it’s finished. Another benefit is that it can be done just with local anesthesia which means that the recovery period is much shorter You will be out and about in no time. If you work from home, you can start after just 3 days. Or you can wait for 10 days until you look like yourself again and continue with your normal life. In both cases, you must agree that downtime is one thing you don’t need to consider when you are deciding to have this surgery.

LOOK YOUNGER AND REFRESHED AND IMPROVE YOUR VISION

This is a huge plus from this surgery. If you are having trouble with your peripheral vision, one of the reasons could be your droopy eyelids. The excess skin is preventing you from seeing properly. So not only do you appear more alert and rejuvenated after this excess skin is removed and your upper eyelids are lifted but you also improve your vision. Upper Blepharoplasty has a double benefit – it achieves your aesthetic goals and helps you function better.

RETURN YOUR EYES TO THEIR NATURAL LOOK

And have open and piercing eyes again. This surgery is fully customizable so you can get it done to fully meet your aesthetic goals. After a consultation with a highly experienced Lucia’s plastic surgeon, you can start your journey towards a radiant look. If you are bothered with scars on your eyelids, don’t be – they are strategically hidden in the natural creases of your eyelids. Once they heal and fade they will be practically invisible. One of the biggest advantages of this surgery is that it carries only a minimal risk of unwanted side effects.  You will be in good hands.

HIGHLIGHT YOUR ENTIRE FACE WITH YOUR EYES

Eyes tell us everything – how young and energetic you are. But if you feel that your eyes are not in harmony with how you actually feel because of droopy upper eyelids, then Blepharoplasty is the key. Your beaming and youthful eyes will mirror your youthful spirit. And with brilliant results, that last for more than 10 years you will be able to enjoy your improved appearance to the fullest. You will start attracting positive attention to your refreshed eyes and to your rejuvenated face. Only a little improvement can make such a big difference.

This October, you can also try CoolSculpting and feel the benefits it can bring to your body.

FREEZE AWAY UNWANTED FAT AT LUCIA CLINIC

When we talk about body image, we are our own biggest critics. You can keep a proper diet and exercise on a regular basis but sometimes that simply doesn’t bring you the results you desire. In that case, CoolSculpting is a non-invasive and effective treatment that eliminates those stubborn fat pockets you just can’t get rid of. It freezes away fat cells in all your trouble spots including the jawline and under the chin, thighs, waist, abdomen, buttocks arms and above the knees. It is so versatile that it can reach even the smallest body areas. With CoolSculpting treatment, you can finally achieve the body contours you have always wanted.

STAY COOL WITH COOLSCULPTING

Once you try the CoolSculpting treatment you will see how “cool” it is – it literally destroys unwanted fat cells. It exposes them to intense and controlled low temperatures but keeps the surrounding skin tissue unharmed. If you have pinchable fat anywhere on your body you are the perfect candidate for this procedure. The destroyed fat cells are gradually eliminated from your body through your lymphatic system. It takes some time to fully get rid of them but once that happens you can lose inches in the targeted area and finally have a leaner figure.

ENHANCE YOUR BODY CONTOURS

By freezing away and eliminating excess fat, you can get a well-toned body with highlighted contours. Unwanted fat pockets in your most prominent body area are permanently removed, which leaves you with an ideal body frame. After this treatment, you will feel and look your best and finally be able to wear close-fitting and more flattering clothes. When you improve your problematic body areas, you will feel more self-confident about your body especially when you wear a bathing suit or evening gown.  Forget about hiding your love handles with loose shirts – after this treatment, you will be proud of your slimmer waist.

KEEP YOUR YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE

You can benefit from CoolSculpting by trimming down unwanted fat that makes some body areas saggy. This way you maintain your youthful look by removing the excess fat that accumulated because of aging. Moreover, this treatment provides you with natural-looking and permanent results. You don’t have to worry about scars or other side effects that are left after this treatment. Since it is a non-invasive procedure, there is no downtime – you can continue with your daily routine right away. But with a big difference – your natural body contours will be accentuated once the unwanted fat cells are frozen away.

COOLSCULPTING COMPLEMENTS BRILLIANTLY YOUR DIET AND EXERCISE REGIME

We have already mentioned that a proper diet and regular exercise might not be enough for eliminating fat pockets from some areas of your body. But this treatment will freeze away that excess fat without the risk of fat returning back. This method of fat elimination guarantees that the eliminated fat won’t come back. During the treatment session, the fat cells in your trouble spot are frozen to the temperature that destroys them and when you eliminate those destroyed fat cells you can see up to 20% of less fat in the treated area. Of course, this happens when you flush away all the cells and the speed depends on how fast is your metabolism.

Once you reach your ideal body shape, you will be even more motivated to continue with your diet and exercise. CoolSculpting can be your effective ally in achieving and maintaining your desired body image.

Last but not least, try the EMTone treatment and solve your problems with cellulite.

GET RID OF CELLULITE AT LUCIA CLINIC

Next to fat pockets, cellulite can be another pesky and stubborn skin condition. Cellulite can leave you feeling insecure to wear short clothes because of its unattractive dimples. And another thing – it can appear everywhere – on your thighs, buttocks, arms, waist or knees. But luckily, you can finally eliminate cellulite with a unique EMTone treatment.

FIRM YOUR SKIN IN A NON-INVASIVE WAY

EMTone is truly a unique treatment – it eliminates cellulite and tones your loose skin. During the treatment, the applicator heats deeper layers of your skin and awakens the collagen. This protein starts to build up and makes your skin tight again. At the same time, the heat affects the tissue that creates cellulite and eventually makes your skin smoother and tighter. Cellulite has finally met its match – EMTone treatment!

EMTONE TREATMENT BRINGS YOU LONG-LASTING RESULTS

We all know that cellulite can appear because of different reasons but that’s not even the problem – the issue is always how difficult it is to eliminate it. Even with a proper diet or exercise you simply can’t make your skin smooth. But this treatment is an excellent partner infighting against unattractive cellulite dimples and still keeping healthy lifestyle habits. Once you see the final results of this amazing treatment, you will be even more motivated to take your fitness goals to the next level and keep your skin smooth and firm for a long time.‍

EXPERIENCE THE BENEFITS OF THIS POWERFUL TREATMENT

What singles this treatment out is that it effectively fights against cellulite and at the same time, it is gentle to your skin. It is non-invasive and feels like a hot stone massage. During your treatment session, you just relax while EMTone works its magic underneath your skin. The best thing is that you can continue with your daily activities right away because there is no downtime. Since this procedure leaves the surface of your skin unharmed, you can have this treatment during your lunch break.

YOU WILL LOVE EMTONE TREATMENT

Why? Because it can benefit your skin so much. It reduces accumulated fat, improves blood circulation and eliminates the built-up metabolic waste underneath your skin. All this contributes to the reduction of cellulite and improves the appearance of your skin. After a couple of sessions, you will notice that your skin quality is better – all because of newly produced collagen and elastin. That’s how brilliant EMTone is – it’s gentle to your skin but it effectively eliminates cellulite dimples.

This October, we are offering you really awesome treatments – don’t miss out on a chance to schedule your consultation.

Are you bothered with droopy eyelids or saggy bags underneath your eyes? Do you feel energetic and youthful, but your eyes start to say the opposite? Do you look in the mirror and constantly pull back saggy skin around your eyelids and wish that your appearance would reflect how you feel? And, on top of all that, are people constantly asking if you are tired?

Then Blepharoplasty or eyelid lift surgery is your answer. This popular but very effective cosmetic procedure can improve the look of your eyes and make you appear rested, refreshed, and youthful again. You can take years off your face just by lifting your eyelids. The key is to remove excess skin fat and muscles that make your eyes appear puffy and put weight on your eyelids. This procedure can also have a functional purpose – it can improve your vision by removing the skin on the eyelids that prevents you from seeing properly.

After Blepharoplasty, you will not only restore your vision but also appear younger and alert. Only a slight facial improvement can do so much for your entire appearance.

LIFT BOTH UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS AT ONCE

This benefit of Blepharoplasty is what brings you dramatic results. The procedure can address droopy upper eyelids by removing excess skin or fatty tissue. Afterward, the loose skin is tighter, and your eyes appear more open.  During the same procedure, you can get rid of bags and crepey skin underneath your eyes. Once this excess fat is removed, your eyes appear smooth and soft. When your eyes appear puffy, they cast a shadow on your undereye area and can partially contribute to dark circles. But after the under eyelid surgery, the dark circles get dramatically improved. So, your eyes appear fresh and rejuvenated on the whole. If you don’t want the surgery performed on both eyelids, you don’t have to. You can choose to have an upper eyelid lift – Blepharoplasty is fully customizable. The procedure is much shorter if you have just an upper eyelid lift. It’s all up to you and the aesthetic goals you wish to achieve.

HAVE THE BLEPHAROPLASTY SURGERY WITH JUST LOCAL ANESTHESIA

At Lucia Clinic, you can have eyelid lift surgery just with IV sedation and local anesthesia. This keeps you awake, but you feel comfortable and relaxed. You don’t feel any discomfort and can answer all your surgeon’s questions. This is a big plus – you avoid the side effects connected to general anesthesia. Also, you can recover from the surgery much faster. And since this is an outpatient procedure, you are free to go home soon after it’s over. Just make sure to have somebody drive you home. The fact that this procedure doesn’t require extended downtime makes it so popular. You can return to work after about ten days or even sooner if the surgeon gives you the green light. All the bruising and swelling are resolved until then, but if you still have minor side effects, you can easily cover them with makeup.

REJUVENATE YOUR EYELIDS WITHOUT THE FEAR OF SCARS

Even though Blepharoplasty involves making incisions in your eyelids, the risk of visible scars is minimal. This is all thanks to the highly experienced Lucia’s plastic surgeon, whose skill and expertise will put you at ease regarding the scars. The surgeon makes the incisions in the natural creases of the eyelid. As a result, the scars are strategically hidden and fade with time. So rest assured that this procedure is done with absolute precision and that your well-being is in the first place. Moreover, eyelid lift surgery carries a low risk of complications and side effects. By carefully following all the surgeon’s post-care recommendations, you can shorten your recovery period and get back to everyday life faster.

COMBINE BLEPHAROPLASTY WITH OTHER PROCEDURES FOR A FULL REJUVENATION

As we have already established, eyelid lift surgery can be a powerful ally in restoring the youthful appearance of your eyes. This anti-aging procedure is a charm against aging and droopy skin on your eyelids. But you don’t have to stop here – you can easily combine Blepharoplasty with other anti-aging treatments. Cosmetic surgeries like a brow lift or a facelift can be performed alongside an eyelid lift for even more remarkable results. Not only do you rejuvenate your eyes, but you also reduce the wrinkles on your forehead or around your eye area. The effects are unique – your whole upper face area can appear years younger. All because of these wonderfully complementing procedures. And again, you have the designs done simultaneously – think about how much time you save on recovery! Of course, it’s all up to you again – you decide if you want the additional procedure done next to Blepharoplasty. During the consultation with your plastic surgeon, you can discuss if complementing procedures are necessary and, if they are, which ones would be the best for you.

AN UNEXPECTED BENEFIT OF BLEPHAROPLASTY – IT IMPROVES YOUR VISION

This is where the functional benefit of the eyelid lift surgery comes to light – by firming the eyelids. Blepharoplasty can improve your peripheral/side vision. You can develop saggy eyelids because of age or genetics. At some point, you realize that your field of vision is impaired because of droopy skin. This can interfere with your everyday life because you can’t perform some actions. Luckily, an eyelid lift can be the answer to this problem. After this surgery, you can have a clear view of your sight again. So, as you can see, Blepharoplasty has a double benefit – not only does it improve your appearance, but it also helps you see better. Next to its aesthetic benefits, Blepharoplasty can also improve your quality of life.

EXPECT LONG-LASTING RESULTS AFTER EYELID LIFT SURGERY

And also, you can see the first improvements in the look of your eyes soon after the surgery. You have to wait for the swelling to resolve, and you will notice that your eyes are more alert and youthful-looking. Even though it may take about a year to see the full results of the surgery, your eyelids gradually get more and more improved. It is worthwhile to wait for the outcomes because they will last for up to 10 years or even more. Indeed, we can’t stop aging, but you can prolong the effects of Blepharoplasty by protecting your eyes from the sun so that the skin on your eyelids doesn’t age fast. And that healthy lifestyle habits and proper skin care can keep the results even longer. Finally, you can opt to maintain the effects of this surgery with Botox injected in the eyebrow area to maintain your eyes’ youthful appearance and alertness.

HOW CAN YOU SEE IF YOU’RE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BLEPHAROPLASTY?

As we’ve already mentioned, your eyes tell everything – even before you speak. Puffy bags underneath your eyes and loose skin on your eyelids make you look tired or sad. When you have these concerns, you can’t conceal them with makeup – it just doesn’t work. And as your eyelids start to lose their elasticity, you can’t even put on makeup because the eyeshadow or eyeliner is creasing over the excess skin on your eyelids. But, perhaps the most annoying sign that you should consider Blepharoplasty is that the skin under your eyebrows is so saggy that you can feel it when you blink. All these issues can be a thing of the past after eyelid lift surgery. Of course, during the consultation with your plastic surgeon, you will get the go-ahead with the surgery, provided that you don’t have any medical issues and are generally healthy. Just imagine – after the excess skin has been removed and your eyelids lifted, you will enjoy your younger, more energetic, and more awake appearance. You can say goodbye to looking tired!
