Cosmetic Surgery
Cosmetic Surgery is clearly increasing in popularity in Dubai, due mainly to the higher level of disposable income that expatriates enjoy and also to the growing number of state of the art Cosmetic Clinics that are led by highly qualified and hugely experienced cosmetic surgeons.
Cosmetic surgery in Dubai is far less expensive than many European countries, due mainly to Dubai's tax free environment.
Cosmetic surgeons are licensed by the Ministry of Health and although they practice from a community clinic they are also affiliated to one or more of the main private hospitals.
More major procedures are carried out in the hospital environment utilising hospital support staff such as anaesthetists, nurses, radiographers, physiotherapists etc. whilst minor procedures can be done in the clinic as an out patient.
Laser eye correction is also increasing in popularity and there are several specialist eye clinics in Dubai.
Moorfields Eye Hospital an associate of the famous UK eye hospital is based in Dubai Health Care City and is a leading centre for laser treatment and cosmetic surgery around the eye.
