Tell us about yourself? Your specialty? Your philosophy as a surgeon?
I have over 22 years of experience in plastic surgery, performing procedures for the face, body, and breasts. My philosophy is focused on achieving natural and harmonious results that enhance the patient’s body. Today, there is a growing preference among women for a natural appearance, achieved through cosmetic procedures that highlight their beauty and boost self-confidence without leaving obvious signs of intervention. Our goal is to balance all body parts, rather than concentrating on enhancing a single feature.
The culture of plastic surgery has notably evolved over the past decades. There is a clear trend towards more natural cosmetic procedures, particularly in breast augmentation. Many women now seek to enhance their appearance in a way that is proportionate with their bodies, avoiding overdone enhancements.
How do you stay abreast of emerging techniques and technologies in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery?
As a member of the American Board of Plastic Surgery, I am committed to continuously developing my skills. This involves participating in training courses periodically, which is crucial for maintaining the highest level of patient care. I take part in workshops offering practical training on new cosmetic surgery techniques and attend conferences and seminars that discuss the latest developments and innovations in the field. This continuous learning is essential for staying at the forefront of the industry.
What technological advancements have significantly impacted the field of plastic surgery in recent years?
Recent years have brought tremendous technological advancements in cosmetic surgery, leading to major improvements in procedure outcomes and safety. The field is now safer and more effective, allowing patients to expect better results with minimal pain and less noticeable scarring. In cosmetic medicine, staying updated with new skills directly benefits patients by improving outcomes and ensuring greater safety, effectiveness, and satisfaction.
Plastic surgery techniques are rapidly evolving, and keeping pace with these developments is essential. Advances in surgical techniques are continually improving the precision and effectiveness of procedures while minimizing risks and complications. Discovering new techniques and materials has also significantly enhanced our practice.
What are some of the latest trends and innovations in breast health that plastic surgeons should be aware of, particularly with the introduction of Mia Femtech™?
The field of breast surgery is witnessing significant advancements, with a variety of techniques available for breast enlargement, lifting, or reduction.
Mia Femtech™, a highly advanced method for breast harmonization and enhancement, stands out with unique properties that make it an ideal choice for many women. This technique has introduced a new philosophy focused on restoring harmony with the entire body, including shoulders and waist, leading to a natural and attractive look.
The emphasis with Mia® technology is on achieving natural sizes that complement a woman’s body, steering clear of unrealistic beauty standards.
The goal is to restore body symmetry, not to create exaggerated enlargement. This philosophy empowers women to feel comfortable and confident in their appearance.
Mia Femtech™ is designed to naturally shape the breasts, offering an ideal solution for women who prefer minimal changes. It is especially suitable for those who use compensatory clothing like specialized bras and gel pads, or for those who seek a subtle enhancement rather than significant breast enlargement.
The advancement of this modern procedure in breast aesthetics came through Medica Group, a leader in the aesthetic sector, who provided us with a comprehensive introduction to this procedure. After recognizing its importance, I underwent specialized training in Belgium provided by Medica. When conducting the first few procedures, we were assisted by an award-winning expert in plastic surgery who flew to the Middle East to join us and support our initial experience.
Explain what Mia® is, its benefits, what makes it so special in terms of technology and technique, what it means to the consumers.
Mia® offers several benefits that make it the preferred choice, providing advanced solutions for breast enhancement while focusing on natural, effective results, reducing risks, and speeding up recovery. The main benefits are:
- Small, invisible incision made under the armpit.
- Local anesthesia with sedation, eliminating the risks associated with general anesthesia.
- Advanced diamond-shaped implant without hard edges, which contributes to more natural-looking results. This implant is particularly compatible with the body, made from materials that gradually integrate without the risk of fibrosis or hardening in the breast.
- Preserves the natural shape of the breast by using specialized methods to insert the implant without cutting into any breast tissue.
- These aspects collectively enhance the overall safety and effectiveness of the breast shaping process, providing a comfortable and satisfactory experience for our consumers.
How do you approach the delicate balance between achieving aesthetic goals and maintaining natural-looking results for your consumers? Who are the ideal candidates for the Mia® technique?
Mia® is ideal for women who prefer a subtle, natural enhancement rather than exaggerated breast enlargement. Suitable candidates are those without breast sagging and who possess adequate fat density in the breasts. This ensures they can enjoy a comfortable and low-risk procedure while achieving natural-looking results.
It is crucial to choose the right candidate for this technique as it significantly affects the outcome. A thorough evaluation process is necessary to understand a woman’s needs and goals and determine if this technique is suitable for her. This experience includes comprehensive service that supports the woman before, during, and after the procedure to ensure a smooth and satisfying experience.
What alternative options does this innovative technique offer compared to traditional surgery?
Fortunately, this technique provides an option for women who wish to enhance their appearance naturally and harmoniously but have concerns about traditional surgery, such as exposure to general anesthesia, long recovery periods, and lasting scars. This technique meets the aspirations of many women and introduces a new trend in plastic surgery clinics where it is exclusively available in the Middle East.
How can a balance between aesthetic goals and natural results be achieved?
As a plastic surgeon, I recognize the importance of striking a precise balance between meeting a patient’s aesthetic desires and maintaining a natural appearance. This involves a holistic approach that prioritizes understanding a woman’s expectations through detailed discussions to grasp her goals for the procedure. I then assess the overall appearance, body, and skin characteristics to determine the best approach.
Attention to detail during surgery is key to ensure natural-looking results that are harmonious with the patient’s body. I use the latest surgical techniques to achieve precise and effective results with minimal scarring and quick recovery.
Providing post-surgery advice and regular follow-ups is also essential to ensure complete healing and maintain long-term results.
In your opinion, what is the secret to achieving satisfying and long-lasting results?
Each woman should be treated as a unique case deserving a personalized approach based on her needs and expectations. Therefore, I take the time to understand each woman individually, starting with a consultation that discusses every detail. I measure the size of the woman’s breasts, determine the appropriate size of the implant, and carefully explain the available options and the most suitable techniques for her expectations.
