Dubai named "nip-and-tuck" hub by leading US surgeon

Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon, Dr Jason Diamond, claims that Dubai has become the world centre for cosmetic procedures. 
Diamond, made famous by reality television show Dr 90210, told the US television channel CNN that he was “unprepared for the clamor” that met him when he first visited Dubai in 2009.

"For that week, I literally had people waiting until 2am for a consultation. The waiting room was filled 20 people-deep all day long," he recalled. 

Since then, Diamond has returned to the city every two to three months as part of a partnership with the American British Surgical Medical Centre. 

"In the last couple of years, Dubai has become a nip-and-tuck hub," he rold CNN. "Where once residents from throughout the GCC would venture to Beverly Hills, Brazil or Beirut for treatments, these days, they're staying closer to home to have work done."
