Your Questions, Answered
Have a question?
Suitability comes down to three things: sound general health, clear and realistic goals, and a willingness to follow aftercare guidance. At your private consultation in Dubai, Dr. Shamoun reviews your medical history and examines the area you wish to address before giving you a candid answer — including, where appropriate, advising against surgery.
You will meet Dr. Shamoun personally — never only a coordinator. Expect an unhurried conversation about what you would like to change, a physical assessment of your anatomy, and a frank discussion of the options, risks and likely outcome. Visitors travelling to Dubai can begin with a remote consultation before confirming travel dates.
It depends on the procedure. Lighter treatments may need only days, while operations such as abdominoplasty or facelift call for several weeks of structured recovery. You will receive a written aftercare plan, scheduled follow-up reviews, and — if you are flying home afterwards — clear fit-to-fly guidance before your trip is booked.
Often, yes. Combining compatible procedures — for example abdominal contouring with breast surgery — can mean a single anaesthetic and one recovery period rather than two. Whether a combination is sensible for you is a safety judgement Dr. Shamoun makes case by case at consultation.
Every incision is planned to sit within natural creases or areas concealed by clothing, and refined closure techniques keep scars as fine as possible. Because strong sun can darken healing scars, your aftercare plan includes specific sun-protection guidance for life in the UAE while scars mature and fade.
