Expert Medical Team
Dr. Buthainah Al-Shunnar leads the clinic as the first female Emirati plastic surgeon. She is double board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery.

Filler Types and Methods
The clinic focuses on safety by using temporary fillers that the body can naturally absorb. Patients can choose from several options based on their specific needs:
- Hyaluronic acid (HA): Preferred for its safety and ability to be dissolved if needed. Brands include Juvéderm and Restylane.
- Calcium hydroxyapatite: A mineral-like compound with a long safety record and low allergy risk.
- Poly-L-lactic acid: A synthetic stimulator that helps the body produce its own collagen over time.
- PMMA microspheres: A semi-permanent option used for deep wrinkles or pitted acne scars.
- PRP combination: Platelet-rich plasma can be added to fillers to improve skin rejuvenation.
What to Expect During Treatment
A typical session lasts between 20 minutes and one hour. Lip injections are even faster, often taking only 15 to 30 minutes. The doctor applies a numbing cream or local anesthesia to make the process comfortable. Many fillers also contain lidocaine to help reduce pain during the injection. After the filler is placed, the specialist massages and moulds the area to reach the desired shape.
Recovery and Results
There is no downtime, so patients can return to work or daily tasks immediately. Some temporary redness, soreness, or bruising may appear. Results are visible right away and last from 6 months up to 2 years, depending on the material used. Doctors recommend avoiding heavy exercise for 24 to 48 hours. A follow-up visit is scheduled after 14 days to check the results and perform any necessary touch-ups. To keep the look fresh, maintenance sessions are usually planned every 3 to 12 months.

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.
