MR ALI JUMA JOINS SDS REJUVENATE
BY DR SALLY ANN-DOLAN
Doctors Sally and Ian have known Mr Ali Juma as both a
colleague and a friend for many years and it is a pleasure
to welcome him as he joins forces with the team at SDS
Rejuvenate.
It is a well-known and proven fact that non-surgical aesthetics
is on the increase with demand for treatment such as
dermal fillers, body contouring and skin tightening rising
exponentially, whilst there is a perception that the number
of procedures performed surgically by cosmetic surgeons
has apparently been declining over the last two years. This
latter statement is not however accurate. An annual audit
conducted by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic
Surgeons (BAAPS) reports that the number of treatments
carried out in 2018 has seen a tiny increase of 0.1% compared
to 2017.
Mr Juma quotes, “I would postulate that the very small
increase in cosmetic surgery figures is multi-factorial. The
report shows a very small increase against a difficult and
uncertain economy, particularly with the ambiguity around
Brexit as well as competition from independent companies
and overseas providers. However, I believe that BAAPS
members have managed to buck the trend and maintain the
share of a difficult market by being able and visible to those
seeking their expertise to achieve a highest of outcomes. All
of this has been achieved against a tough economy and strong
competition with much bigger spending power.”
Sally, Ian and Ali agree that the gap between non-surgical and
surgical treatments is now closer than ever and agree that this
is one of the many ways that the industry is evolving.

Whilst non-surgical treatments such as fillers and skin
tightening can be appropriate and produce the desired effect,
it is important to note that once there is extensive loose
skin, only surgery is likely to make a significant long-term
improvement and hence a referral to a plastic surgeon is
necessary.
Working in teams both Plastic Surgeons and Aesthetic
Doctors working together in harmony is a good way forward.
As Doctors Sally & Ian work in conjunction with Ali we
believe this new service will offer any potential patients the
opportunity to undergo the most advanced treatments in
order to achieve the best outcome for the ultimate natural look
in a safe environment in the hands of expert practitioners.
Ali Juma quotes, “As a Plastic Surgeon 17-years of experience
has given me an in-depth insight that aesthetic facial
treatments and cosmetic surgery are both powerful tools to
achieve the best cosmetic outcomes for my patients. This
philosophy can also be applied in other anatomical sites of
the body, where surgical and non-surgical treatments can
be adjunctive to each other, achieving excellent outcomes in
body contouring. As a result, I have joined Dr Sally and Dr
Ian with their excellent team at SDS Rejuvenate in the Wirral,
prestigious locations in West Kirby and Heswall, offering
consultation clinics. I am looking forward to this very exciting
time of working together achieving excellence at the highest
level of safety and governance.”
Mr Juma will be holding regular clinics in both West Kirby
and Heswall and appointments for consultation can be
booked by contacting the clinics on 0151 625 8080 and
