What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that repositions the eyebrows and smooths the forehead for a more refreshed and alert appearance. Over time, the brow can begin to descend, creating heaviness above the eyes and a tired or stern look.
Dr Parviz Sadigh offers both traditional and minimally invasive brow lift techniques in Dubai, carefully choosing the method based on your facial anatomy and goals. The result is a more open upper face, improved brow symmetry, and a smoother, more youthful expression.
How Buccal Fat Removal Works
Consultation and Planning
During your consultation in Dubai, Dr Parviz Sadigh will assess your facial anatomy, skin tone, and aesthetic goals. Buccal fat removal isn’t suitable for everyone — patients with naturally slim faces or those over 50 may not be ideal candidates, as excessive removal could lead to a gaunt appearance over time.
The Procedure
The surgery is performed under local or general anaesthetic, depending on the case. A small incision is made inside each cheek to access and gently remove a portion of the buccal fat pad. The incision is then closed with dissolvable stitches. The entire procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients experience mild swelling for the first 7–10 days. Since the incision is made inside the mouth, a soft diet and good oral hygiene are essential. Final results become more apparent over the following weeks as swelling resolves.
Results & Longevity
Once removed, buccal fat does not return. The results are permanent and continue to refine over several months. The goal is a naturally contoured face that complements your overall features – not an overdone or hollow look.
Who Can Benefit
You may be a good candidate if you:
Have visible jowls or loss of jawline definition
Notice sagging skin or deep facial folds
Feel your appearance no longer reflects your energy
Want a long-lasting solution, not temporary fillers
Are in good general health with realistic expectations
Frequently Asked Questions
How painful is buccal fat removal?
The procedure is generally well tolerated. It’s usually performed under local anaesthetic, and most patients report only mild discomfort or tightness in the cheeks for a few days. Dr Parviz Sadigh provides tailored aftercare to manage any swelling or sensitivity.
What are the risks?
As with any facial surgery, there are small risks such as infection, asymmetry, or overcorrection. Dr Sadigh takes a conservative approach to ensure balanced results. Choosing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon significantly reduces the likelihood of complications.
How long does recovery take?
Initial recovery usually lasts 7–10 days. Most patients can return to work within a few days, depending on swelling. A soft diet is advised during the first week, and final results are visible after 2–3 months once the swelling has fully subsided.
Are the results permanent?
Yes. Once the buccal fat pads are removed, they do not grow back. The results are long-lasting, though future ageing or significant weight changes may affect overall facial shape.
