It’s strange, people invest in mobile phones, PDAs, designer clothes, bags, jewellery and cars, but they don’t bother to invest in their face and body — which would probably provide more satisfaction. “If you say you want to age gracefully, why come to me when you have started to look like a shrivelled prune? Not that I cannot help you out then, but drastic procedures would be required. Come to me when your skin is starting to sag and wrinkles are starting to appear, so that I can solve your problem with non-invasive procedures. Sagging and wrinkles can be effectively treated with Thermage, botox and Obaji. After that you’ll just need to maintain yourself. Over the years, a little nip here and a little tuck there will do.” So says the refreshingly frank and handsome Dr Mabroor A. Bhatty.
I was impressed with the beautiful, glowing interiors and the highly sophisticated machines and equipment that Dr Mabroor has at his disposal, so I asked him how he managed to establish such a state-of-the-art facility? “All that I have today is due to the prayers of my family and the poor burn and leprosy patients that I treated at Masoomeen Hospital in Kharadar (owned by the Habib Group) and Marie Adelaide Leprosy Centre. It has definitely been the most rewarding and satisfying thing I have done.” Dr Mabroor does reconstructive surgery for patients at these hospitals completely free of charge. Both invasive and non-invasive procedures are expensive. For instance, the latest and most sophisticated cosmetic procedure called Thermage costs Rs.100,000, but you only need one treatment — and that one session lasts for years. After that, you just need to maintain your newly acquired good looks and take care of your skin. Thermage eliminates wrinkles and sagging skin, effectively giving you a face-lift or smoothing out your neck, tummy, hands and upper arms. The procedure involves supplying heat to the deeper layers of the skin, tightening existing collagen and stimulating the growth of new collagen, resulting in tighter, smoother skin and renewed facial contours. After treatment, the skin continues to tighten and new collagen keeps growing for the next two to six months. Dr Mabroor was actually selected by the Thermage company (based in the US) and sent to Singapore for training.

 
 
 
 
At Transform you have access to Mesotherapy treatments in which solutions containing amino acids, vitamins and proteins are transported into the mesoderm layer of the skin using a special French gun called U225. The procedure is pain free and is used to make the skin healthy, stop hair fall and get rid of double chins, love handles etc.
Compared to other plastic surgeons, Dr Mabroor may be expensive because he never uses unsafe Chinese products. He has very high ethical standards and feels strongly about risking the looks, health and well-being of his patients. He made it very clear that he does not experiment on his patients and does not try out new machines and procedures unless they have been tested by experienced surgeons in the West.
Transform also has an operation theatre where the doctor performs surgeries to get rid of stretch marks and cellulite, enlarge and reduce breast sizes, reconstruct breasts after mastectomy, MACS face-lifts, tummy tucks as well as reshaping thighs, breasts and buttocks.
So next time you have money to spend, take a good look at yourself in the mirror and ask if you are happy with the way things are. If you can invest, do take steps to beautify yourself and get rid of unsightly sagging skin, double chins, love handles and scars. Remember that you can apply as much make-up as you want and dress your hair, but wrinkled or unhealthy, dull skin, open pores and excess weight make all that hard work go to waste. If you look good, you’ll feel great! v
