Aesthetic Surgeons Reveal Latest Cosmetic Surgery Trends In The UAE
The rising incidence of obesity in UAE is very well documented; however, there is also a significant increase in weight loss as well. Aesthetic surgeons at the Cocoona Centre for Aesthetic Transformation & Day Surgery are now performing body lift surgeries on 60% of their patients who have experienced dramatic weight loss. Other popular aesthetic surgeries in the UAE are liposuction & body sculpting, breast enhancements, and rhinoplasty. There is also a growing demand for more diversified procedures such as hair transplantations, face lifts, and eyelid surgeries.
Dr Sanjay Parashar, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, Cocoona Centre for Aesthetic Transformation & Day Surgery, spoke today at the Surgery Conference at the Arab Health Recruitment & Training Fair. The event, which is the largest healthcare recruitment and career development fair in the region, concludes today (20 October) at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, Abu Dhabi, UAE.
“We are aware of the rising incidence of obesity in UAE, but there is also a significant increase in weight loss as well. I have seen about 250 patients in last five years who have undergone massive weight loss (at least 100 pounds or more than 50% of their body weight), and around 45% have lost the weight by simply altering their lifestyle, exercising and watching their diet. Obesity not only poses immediate health risks but also distorts the body and leaves behind excess skin folds in the body,†highlighted Dr Parashar.
