28 | January 2012 | woman this month Showcase O ver the years, it seems that plastic surgery has become a moneymaking business, rather than a branch of medicine. However, Dr. Abeer Isa Alkebaisi plans to bring it back to its ethical roots. The former consultant in plastic and reconstructive surgery in Saudi Arabia’s well known Saad Specialist Hospital opened her own clinic in 2009. Providing individualised aesthetic surgical care, the clinic’s in-house services include chin liposuction, face injections, cheek augmentation or filling, facial filling in general, elevation of the eyebrows, nose job through fillers, lip injection and a wide variety of laser machines. Apart from laser hair removal, using the most up to date technology, the clinic also uses laser machines for skin rejuvenation, resurfacing and weight loss. “The Ematrix is also an exciting service offered here, by generating heat under the skin, new collagen is created. It’s used for a number of things; including tightening of the skin and reducing stretch marks,” explains the doctor. As part of the Dr Abeer’s awareness initiative, the clinic will be holding a workshop this month, highlighting the benefits of the Ematrix machine. The latest version of the already well known Vela shape machine is also available; where two types of radiations are used; radio frequency and infrared, along with massage to re-circulate the blood. As for the surgical services, she offers head-to-toe procedures, including face and neck lifts, lower and upper lid blepharoplasty, cosmetic breast surgery, breast reduction, rhinoplasty and liposuction. “The most commonly asked for procedures have so far been liposuction and breast augmentation. As for office procedures, injections and botox are very popular. When a patient comes to me, I consider and analyse their problem, look into the pros and cons of the solution and also what suits the patient best. If someone comes in with an unreasonable expectation then we explain to them that the surgery will affect their health. I’m very selective with my cases. If I know that it may lead to post-surgery complications, then we won’t continue, my patient’s safety comes first.” Dr Abeer holds her consultations at the clinic and performs her surgeries at the Bahrain Specialist Hospital. The first female plastic surgeon in the region of Bahraini origin, the surgeon completed her medical education in both Ireland and France with three masters’ degrees in burns and the surgical treatment, cosmetic and therapeutic injections and surgical treatments and reconstruction of skin tumours. Specialising in cosmetic surgery and cosmetic medicine, Dr.Abeer also has an AFS/AFSA France fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as an AFRC from Ireland. Call 17 820-988.
