Plastic surgery is the name given to procedures which repair or reconstruct damaged, missing or deformed parts of the face or body. Plastic surgery aims to restore the function and appearance of skin and tissue as much as possible to its normal state. Doctors who carry out these procedures are called plastic surgeons.
Cosmetic surgery is a type of plastic surgery but is different as it focusses on aesthetic results. Cosmetic surgery aims to change a person’s appearance, either by reshaping, enhancing or reproportioning, for aesthetic reasons. Cosmetic procedures are elective and can be performed on any part of the face or body. Cosmetic surgery is performed by either a plastic surgeon or a cosmetic surgeon.
The Plastic Surgery department at Mubadala Health Dubai offers a wide range of advanced treatment options for patients requiring reconstructive surgery or looking for cosmetic enhancements.
Our team of plastic surgeons and cosmetic surgeons have extensive training and experience, and work with a wider, multidisciplinary team of specialists to provide a comprehensive range of services, from simple facial enhancements through to complex reconstructive surgeries.
Our team tailors every service to the individual, prioritizing comfort, compassion and confidentiality at all times. Backed by the latest technology and medical advances within the field, our plastic surgeons aim to restore, repair or rejuvenate whether to improve your health, quality of life, or simply the way you feel about yourself.
We focus exclusively on cosmetic procedures designed to enhance form and confidence. Reconstructive procedures are not offered.
Breast Lifting & Reduction – Lollipop Technique (Two Scars): A short‑scar approach (vertical/lollipop) that lifts and reshapes the breast while minimizing scarring. Ideal for ptosis (sagging) or heavy breasts causing discomfort. Recovery typically involves a support bra and a gradual return to daily activity.
Breast Augmentation (Implants or Fat Transfer): Customized augmentation using silicone implants or your own fat for a natural look and feel. Choice depends on your anatomy and goals; we discuss projection, volume, and incision placement during consultation.
Correction of Breast Anomalies: Tailored solutions for asymmetry, tuberous breast characteristics, or nipple–areola repositioning to achieve balanced, harmonious results.
Liposuction: Targeted fat removal to refine contours in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, or arms.
Fat Transfer: Strategic grafting of your own purified fat to enhance volume and shape in areas like the buttocks or hips.
Buttocks Lift: Lifting and reshaping of the gluteal region to improve contour; may be combined with liposuction and/or fat transfer based on individual goals.
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty): Removes excess skin and tightens underlying tissue of the upper arms for a firmer silhouette.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal wall for improved core contour, often following pregnancy or weight changes.
Mommy Makeover: Personalized combination of procedures—commonly breast and abdominal contouring—to restore pre‑pregnancy shape in a single, coordinated plan.
Comprehensive contouring plans to address redundant skin and reshape areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, and back. Staged approaches are discussed to optimize safety, recovery, and outcomes.
For patients seeking less‑invasive options, Attiva radiofrequency remodeling stimulates collagen to tighten and firm tissue with minimal downtime. Treatment areas include the face and neck as well as the arms, thighs, and tummy. Attiva can be performed alone or combined with liposuction or other procedures for enhanced results.
Your consultation includes a full assessment, discussion of options, and a personalized plan aligned with your goals and lifestyle. Recovery timelines vary by procedure; we provide detailed aftercare and follow‑up to support safe, steady healing.
Plastic surgery can offer enormous benefits. Reconstructive plastic surgery can improve your quality of life, restore the function of a body part or offer pain relief by correcting a defect.
Cosmetic surgery can improve the way you feel about yourself, boosting self-confidence, self-esteem and body image. It can alter the appearance of parts of the body or face to make them more natural in appearance, or can improve the function of certain features, such as the eyes following the removal of excess skin.
Most people recover quickly from invasive plastic surgery procedures, going home the same day. Recovery will depend on the procedure you have had and how invasive it was. Side effects may range from slight bruising through to stitches that require care at home. Recovery can be enhanced by:
Any surgical procedure comes with an element of risk associated. However, for most people, the benefits of plastic or cosmetic surgery outweigh the risks significantly.
The likelihood of a complication will be influenced by factors such as your overall health, lifestyle (whether you smoke or are overweight) and the type of procedure you are having. For many people, the biggest risk is not achieving the results they were hoping for. Our team of plastic and cosmetic surgeons will always discuss your procedure with you in detail to ensure you have realistic expectations of what can be achieved.
