Dubai's Cosmetic Surgery Boom
Dubai's cosmetic surgery boom shows no sign of slowing. By some estimates Dubai has more plastic surgeons per capita than any other city in the world. The Instagram generation is driving Dubai's booming cosmetic surgery industry, in some cases to the point of addiction. Medics at an international conference have said celebrity culture is ensuring the industry continues to thrive, as many people seek corrective procedures or enhancements to look a certain way.
The Evolution of Aesthetic Trends
Surgically enhanced buttocks have overtaken breast implants as the cosmetic surgery of choice as many women strive to achieve the ‘Kardashian’ effect. Ten years ago, a big behind was not seen as a sign of beauty in white women, but that’s changed in recent years largely due to the impact of celebrities like Kim Kardashian. While women are still more impacted by social media and the demand to look a certain way, men are catching up fast. In the last ten years, the number of men asking for cosmetic surgery has seen figures rising from 10 per cent to nearer 30 per cent.
Botox remains the most popular non-invasive treatment of choice for men and women, followed by soft tissue fillers in women and laser hair removal in men. More people are also choosing non-invasive procedures because they have a quick turnaround and are cheaper than surgery, although the effects usually only last six months.

Safety and Professional Ethics
Plastic surgery is always evolving and progressing, but specialists warn that we have to be careful we don’t quickly adopt new trends before they’re fully researched. Dr. Bouraoui Kotti and other experts emphasize the importance of patient safety: if a procedure will harm the patient, surgeons will decline to do it. While extreme requests exist, such as for huge breasts, doctors advise patients on what suits their ethnicity and what is medically advisable to avoid damaging tissue.
