Dr Faisal obtained his medical degree (MBBS) from St George University of London and attained FRCS, MRCS, UMLE, etc from Britain, the US, and Sweden. Dr Faisal, a board-certified plastic surgeon from the UK highlights 5 things, a patient should look for before making a decision on who should perform their surgery.
The basic requirement for any plastic surgeon is to have certification confirming that they completed a period of training specifically in plastic surgery. The length of the training and unfortunately the quality can vary, but the surgeon must be able to demonstrate that they satisfied the necessary competencies to gain this accreditation.
Are They Board Certified?
The training in places like the UK, USA, France, and Australia is very long and the demands are high. If the surgeon has certification from here then one can assume that they are at the very least safe and competent.
Do They Have Patient Reviews?
Patient testimonials on independent platforms such as Google, Real Self, and Trust Pilot are a very useful guide to how satisfied patients are with surgeons and the experience of the surgery. Patients often go into detail about what they liked and more importantly, disliked.
Are they licensed by the DHA?
For any doctor practicing in Dubai, they need to be licensed by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). In order to grant a license the DHA will check all the plastic surgeon’s certifications and qualifications to make sure they are genuine and safe to practice in Dubai.
Do they have before and afters to show?
During the consultation, it is important to see if the plastic surgeon is able to show you a large number of breast augmentations before and after
Do you have a rapport with the surgeon?
This is probably the most important point. Plastic surgeons are human beings. If your gut is telling you that they are a nice guy, then you should trust your intuition. If you feel they are open and transparent, then communication about the surgery will be more clear and the surgeon will be more available in the post-operative period.
