Plastic Surgery Dubai: The Most Common Procedures
Every year, millions of people in cities across the globe turn to surgeons to improve their appearance through plastic surgery. Dubai is no exception, and the rate of growth of the city is more than matched by the expansion of the cosmetic surgery industry here.
Here are 5 of Dubai’s most popular procedures:
Breast Augmentation:
Many ladies in Dubai choose surgical enlargement or reshaping of their breasts, citing reasons such as self-consciuousness due to assymetrical breasts, or particularly small breasts, and to replace breast tissue removed for medical reasons. The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic, and involves creating a pocket either behind existing breast tissue or under the pectoral muscle, into which an implant is inserted. Its popularity is in part due to its ability for the results to be tailored to each individual woman, as one or more cup sizes can be added to a woman’s bustline, depending upon her wishes.
Tummy Tuck – Abdominoplasty
In a procedure that is more commonly known as a tummy tuck, abdominoplasty removes excess skin from the abdominal area and tightens the skin that remains through plastic surgery. Dubai’s ever growing beach culture has meant a growth in popularity of this surgery. It is particularly popular with women who have experienced the appearance of excess skin as a result of pregnancy, or significant weight loss and it is more suited to those who have excess skin to remove, rather than fat deposits in the abdominal area.
Face Lift – Rhytidectomy
A facelift, or to refer to it by its technical term ‘rhytidectomy’, is a surgical solution to the wrinkles and sagging that that become more apparent with aging. Results are seen by a gentle pulling and tightening of facial skin to give a more youthful appearance, the smoothing out of deep lines and the minimisation of sagging. The procedure is often performed under general anaesthetic, but some pioneering surgeons are using the ‘MACS lift’ procedure which is performed under light sedation without full admission to hospital. This means the patient can return to their normal lifestyle much quicker, suiting Dubai’s busy population.
Nose job – Rhinoplasty
A patient may choose to have a nose job, or rhinoplasty, performed when they dislike the dhape or size of their nose, or feel it is out of balance with the rest of their face. Depending on the patient’s wishes, the surgeon may reduce or increase the size of the nose or refine areas of the nose, such as the tip, bridge, or span of the nostrils for a more pleasing overall appearance.
Breast Reduction
A woman’s breast reduction surgery is one example of plastic surgery that lists far more benefits than improved appearance. This surgery is popular with women whose large breasts affect their posture, or cause them discomfort and back pain, or mean that it is hard for them to find well fitting clothes.
Although these are 5 of the most popular procedures, there is a vast range of available plastic surgery. Dubai’s surgeons can offer a world-class standard and range of procedures, both invasive and non-invasive, to suit the needs of the city’s international population.
