Talk to the performing surgeon and check qualifications
Make sure that the surgeon is certified with the Plastic Surgery Board of his home country. This is VERY important. As a board member you have the privilege to call yourself a Plastic Surgeon. There are doctors who call themselves Plastic Surgeons and yet they are not members of their home Board, be aware that other medical practitioners cannot use this title. This, along with other memberships and qualifications will be listed on the surgeon’s website. Check that the doctor in Dubai holds the title of Specialist Plastic Surgeon, or one step above that, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, this means that the doctor has passed the required exams in Dubai to practice as a Plastic Surgeon here. Check his reputation and remember personal recommendations are a good starting point.
Ensure that your qualified surgeon will be the one operating throughout the entire process. By law, a physician with a current medical license, such as a GP, gynecologist, vein doctor, dermatologist, etc, can perform cosmetic procedures with no experience. Make sure that the surgeon is working together with a certified anesthesiologist and that all blood work and necessary exams have been undertaken and checked pre surgery. Always check on the medical facility where your surgery will be performed.

There are many reasons; the reason though, must be because it’s for you, not someone else
