Male breast reduction popular in UAE

Cosmetic surgery is no longer the choice of women and celebrities alone, there is a growing trend of men in the UAE opting for procedures such as a breast reduction and hair transplants.

Overall, cosmetic surgery has becomea popular phenomenon in the UAE, according to medical experts. Thedemand is keeping pace with the expansion of this medical field through the introduction of new, quick and promising non-surgical procedures.

“If you compare the number of people undergoing cosmetic surgery procedures of all types now with numbers from three years ago, you will see an obvious increase in Dubai clinics and hospitals,” commented, Dr Allen Riezai, consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon at the Elite Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Group Clinic.
Dr Rezai said more men are becoming conscious of their appearance. “The ratio of male to female patients under going cosmetic surgery is around 30 per cent males to 70 per cent females at the clinic.”

The most common procedure for men in the UAE is breast reduction followed by hair transplants, Dr Rezai said.
Non-Surgical procedures have also become more popular. “Many patients choose non-surgical procedures like botox and fillers because they are quick, easy and have no recovery time – you can get them done in your lunch break.”
