Breast augmentation in Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery Clinic
About the clinic
Breast augmentation at Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery Clinic in Dubai, UAE, provides patients with advanced surgical options including implants, fat transfer, or hybrid techniques. The clinic is led by American Board Certified surgeons who trained at Johns Hopkins Hospital and hold the Dubai Health Authority Award. These specialists help patients achieve their desired aesthetic through tailored incision methods and placement strategies.
Advanced Surgical Methods
The clinic offers several ways to increase breast size and improve shape. Patients can choose between saline, silicone, gummy bear, or structured saline implants. Surgeons use different incision points based on the patient's anatomy and preferences:
- Inframammary: An incision made in the breast fold.
- Periareolar: A cut around the border of the areola.
- Transaxillary: An endoscopic technique through the armpit that leaves no scars on the breast.
- Transumbilical: A specialized approach through the navel.
Implant placement also varies. Options include subglandular (above the muscle), submuscular (under the muscle), or subfascial placement. For those seeking a natural look, autologous fat transfer uses fat from the abdomen or thighs to enhance the breasts without implants. The hybrid option combines both implants and fat grafting to refine the final contour.
Expert Surgical Team
Dr. Buthainah Al-Shunnar is a double American Board Certified surgeon and the first female Emirati plastic surgeon. She trained at Johns Hopkins Hospital and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Kamal Sawan, also a Johns Hopkins-trained and American Board Certified surgeon, specializes in reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery. Dr. Claudia Alves Silva Machado brings Brazilian Board Certification and expertise in video endoscopic techniques for transaxillary augmentation. The staff at the clinic holds American Board Certifications, and the facility was named Cosmetic Surgery Clinic of the Year in 2020.
Recovery and Results
Surgery typically lasts between one and three hours under general anesthesia. Most patients undergo the procedure as outpatients and can return home the same day. Recovery involves wearing a surgical bra for up to four weeks. Patients usually return to work within two weeks, though strenuous activities must be avoided for at least one month. Swelling often decreases within four weeks, while final results from fat transfer may take up to six months to fully settle.

Surgical and Aesthetic Specialties
Plastic surgery services focus on breast, facial, and body contouring procedures. The surgical team performs several complex breast operations:
- Breast augmentation with fat transfer or implants
- Breast lift (mastopexy) with internal bra techniques
- DIEP flap reconstruction for post-cancer patients
- Breast reduction and gynecomastia surgery for men
Fat transfer procedures use gentle liposuction devices. These protect live fat cells before purification and reinjection.
Facial rejuvenation options include the video-endoscopic facelift. Surgeons use small scalp incisions and an endoscope to reposition midface tissues. This method takes two to three hours and aims for a softer look with minimal visible scarring. The clinic also offers otoplasty and rhinoplasty.
Body sculpting programs combine fat removal with skin-tightening techniques. Specialists perform tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) and lower body lifts. For patients with keloid or hypertrophic scars, the clinic provides cryotherapy, steroid injections, and laser surgery to flatten scar tissue.
Aesthetic medicine and dermatology services are led by Dr. Elmira Gesheva. This department manages skin rejuvenation through several non-surgical methods:
- Botox injections for forehead lines and crow's feet
- Dermal fillers including Juvéderm and Restylane
- RF micro-needling for skin firmness
- Chemical peels in light, medium, and deep variants
Dermatology services also include Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections and specialized acne clearing treatments.
Medical Technology and Platforms
The clinic uses specific laser and ultrasound platforms for aesthetic treatments. For hair removal, specialists use the LightSheer Duet Diode Laser by Lumenis.
