Choosing a plastic surgeon is about more than choosing a procedure. It’s about understanding the philosophy behind the person performing it.

What does your surgeon prioritise when your wishes conflict with what they believe is safest? How do they balance convenience with patient safety? How do they approach the difference between an aesthetically pleasing result and a natural-looking one? And are they prepared to say “no” to a procedure—even when there is a commercial incentive to say yes?

These questions tell you a great deal about how a surgeon practises medicine.

My approach is built around a clear hierarchy: patient health and safety first, natural and proportionate results second, and commercial considerations never above either.

That means there are procedures, trends and shortcuts I choose not to offer—even when patients request them or when they are commercially popular.

Before choosing your surgeon, don’t just ask “Can you do this procedure?”
Try to understand how they make decisions when doing less—or doing nothing—is the better option.

One of the biggest myths about breast augmentation? That implants should always go under the muscle.

There is no single “best” implant plane for every patient. Both under-the-muscle and over-the-muscle placement have advantages and trade-offs. Submuscular implants can be associated with issues such as muscle animation/twitching and displacement over time, while implants placed over the muscle may be more visible in some patients.

The right approach depends on your anatomy, lifestyle, expectations, and individual goals. Breast augmentation should be tailored to the patient — not to a one-size-fits-all rule.

A mommy makeover isn’t about how many procedures can be done at once — it’s about how many can be combined safely.

When planning combined surgery, I consider several factors: your overall health, the total surgical time, how many wounds your body will need to heal, and whether operating on adjacent areas could create opposing tension that may compromise wound healing.

As a general principle, we don’t want surgery to extend much beyond 5–6 hours, as longer operating times can increase risks such as blood clots and make recovery more demanding.

Every mommy makeover should therefore be tailored to the individual patient. Sometimes, the safest and best approach is to combine procedures. In other cases, staging them separately is the better option.

Safety always comes before doing more in a single operation.

Breast lift with or without implants?

The answer isn’t simply about whether you want bigger breasts.

A breast lift can reshape and reposition the breast, but it has limitations — particularly when it comes to creating and maintaining fullness in the upper part of the breast. For some patients, an implant may help achieve that specific aesthetic goal.

But adding an implant also makes the procedure more complex, which is why the decision needs to consider your existing breast tissue, anatomy, expectations, and the result you actually want to achieve.

There isn’t one approach that is right for everyone. A proper examination and consultation are essential to understand what each option can realistically achieve for you.

There isn’t one “right time” to have plastic surgery — because the right time is different for every patient.

Your age, stage of life, future plans and the procedure you’re considering can all influence whether surgery makes sense now or whether waiting may give you a better outcome.

This is also why trusting your surgeon matters. A good consultation isn’t simply about deciding what procedure to have. It’s about receiving an honest assessment of whether this is actually the right time to have it at all.

Sometimes the best advice may be to proceed. Sometimes it may be to wait.

A tummy tuck is about more than simply removing excess skin.

For many patients, the procedure can also include repairing separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), adding a functional benefit alongside the aesthetic change.

The scar is an important part of the trade-off, which is why understanding exactly what the surgery can achieve—and what recovery and scarring will involve—is essential before making a decision.

Ask questions, understand your expectations, and make sure you feel fully informed before proceeding.

Can breast tape really create the effect of a breast lift? 👀

In a way, yes. By tightening the skin envelope, the tape temporarily mimics part of what we achieve during a mastopexy—and the visual result can be quite impressive.

However, it is only a temporary solution. Some tapes can be difficult or painful to remove, and frequent use may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. It is also unlikely to be practical for everyday wear.

If you are struggling with drooping breasts and would like a more definitive, long-term solution, send us a WhatsApp message on +971 56 970 3561 or book an appointment through the Mediclinic app to discuss the best options for you.

Worried you might regret plastic surgery?

The best way to reduce that risk is to make a fully informed decision. Understand the procedure, be clear about your expectations, review before-and-after results, and make sure your surgeon believes those expectations are realistic.

It’s equally important to understand the recovery and ensure you have enough time and support to heal properly.

Good preparation leads to confident decisions.

Breast augmentation while wide awake — would you consider it?

Wide-awake surgery can be an excellent option for certain procedures, particularly in hand and reconstructive surgery, where techniques such as WALANT (Wide Awake Local Anaesthetic No Tourniquet) can be very effective.

But breast augmentation is a different matter. The procedure involves significant manipulation of the tissues, including creating the implant pocket and inserting the implant, which could be uncomfortable and unpleasant to experience while fully awake.

While awake breast augmentation may be an option in some settings, it’s not something I personally offer or something my patients typically request.

Choosing the right surgical and anaesthetic approach should always be based on the procedure, the patient, and what provides the safest and most comfortable experience.

Botox and fillers: how much of what you hear is actually true — and how much is trash?

Botox can help prevent static lines from becoming more established over time, but it doesn’t have to leave you looking “frozen”. The goal should be controlled, natural movement — not an expressionless face.

And when it comes to fillers, moderation matters. Although they’re often described as temporary, evidence and clinical experience suggest that some filler can remain in the tissues much longer than expected. Repeatedly adding more can eventually contribute to a heavy, overfilled or bloated appearance.

Fillers also don’t inevitably migrate, nor do they permanently stretch the skin when used appropriately. Technique, anatomy, product choice and — importantly — knowing when not to add more all matter.

The best aesthetic treatment shouldn’t be about chasing more volume. It should be about achieving a balanced, natural-looking result.
