Lip lift in Dr. Adel Quttainah
About the clinic
A lip lift at Quttainah Specialized Hospital in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, offers a permanent way to enhance the upper lip without using fillers. This surgical procedure changes the lip structure to show more of the pink tissue and create a more youthful look. The hospital is a private surgical facility known for its focus on cosmetic and reconstructive surgery within the Quttainah Medical Group.
Lip Lift Techniques and Methods
Quttainah Specialized Hospital provides four different techniques to match the unique facial structure of each patient. These methods address different parts of the lip and mouth area:
- Subnasal (Bullhorn) lip lift: This is a common choice where the surgeon makes a small incision under the nose.
- Central lip lift: This method shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip.
- Direct lip lift: The surgeon removes skin above the lip border to make the lip look fuller.
- Corner lip lift: This specifically helps people whose mouth corners have started to droop.
The Procedure and Recovery Process
The surgery takes about 1 hour to complete. Doctors use local anesthesia, so the patient stays awake but feels no pain during the process. Some patients may also choose to have light sedation to feel more relaxed. Surgeons place incisions in the natural creases under the nose or along the lip border. This placement makes the small scars very hard to see once they heal.
Most patients return to their regular daily activities within a week. While you will see a change immediately, the full results emerge over several weeks as swelling goes down. The structural changes are permanent, though natural aging will still affect the face over time. Unlike dermal fillers, this treatment does not require repeat visits every few months to maintain the lip shape.
Care at Quttainah Specialized Hospital
The hospital serves international patients and focuses on providing a private environment for recovery. It is part of the Quttainah Medical Group, which specializes in aesthetic medicine and surgery. The medical team focuses on creating natural-looking results that balance well with other facial features.

Dr. Adel Quttainah: more details about the clinic
Quttainah Specialized Hospital is a private medical facility in Dubai specializing in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Located in Umm Suqeim 3, it operates as part of the Quttainah Medical Group network. The group maintains centers across the Middle East, including Kuwait and Qatar. The Dubai location serves as a surgical hub for facial rejuvenation and body contouring.
Academic Foundation and Expertise
Founder Dr. Adel Quttainah is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with over 20 years of experience. He completed his Plastic Surgery Residency and a Clinical Research Fellowship at McMaster University in Canada. He then pursued a Microsurgery & Breast Reconstruction Fellowship at the University of Toronto. He also trained as a visiting surgeon with Dr. Ivo Pitanguy in Brazil.
The hospital's medical team includes three specialists focused on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Dr. Quttainah curates the Quttainah Museum of Medicine, the first of its kind in the GCC region. This private collection contains 400 rare historical medical pieces.
Facial Plastic Surgery
The surgical team uses a structural, anatomic approach to enhance natural facial harmony. Specialists perform various facelift methods tailored to the degree of aging:
- Deep plane facelift for full rejuvenation
- SMAS facelift to tighten underlying tissues
- Mini facelift as a less extensive option
- Endoscopic facelift for a small-incision approach
- Facelift and neck lift combinations
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, uses discreet incisions hidden within natural creases. For nasal reshaping, the clinic offers both open and closed rhinoplasty based on case complexity. Final results for facial procedures typically appear after 6–8 weeks.
Body Contouring and Breast Surgery
Quttainah Specialized Hospital provides a full range of body sculpting treatments. The Mommy Makeover combines tummy tuck surgery with breast augmentation or lifts. This addresses post-pregnancy changes in a single surgical session. Surgeons use silicone implants for breast enlargement but also offer fat transfer as a natural alternative. Reconstructive services include breast reconstruction and implant removal.
The hospital treats several body-shaping needs through specialized techniques:
- High-definition liposuction for abdomen, hips, and thighs
- Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery
- Brachioplasty (arm lift) and thigh lifts
- Belt lipectomy for lower body lifting
- Gluteoplasty using buttock implants
Recovery timelines vary by procedure. Most patients return to light activities within two weeks. Surgeons provide detailed aftercare instructions, including compression garment use after BBL or liposuction.
Gynecomastia Treatment
Specialists use a grade-based system to treat male breast enlargement. For fat-dominant cases, the team uses High-Definition Liposuction with PAL or VASER technology. These energy-assisted tools remove excess fat with greater precision. For higher grades, surgeons perform direct gland excision through a small incision around the areola.
Recovery involves wearing a compression vest continuously during the first week. Most patients resume desk work within 3–5 days. Light activity returns in the second week. Final muscular definition emerges between 3 and 6 months.
International Patient Services
The hospital serves as a regional hub for patients from the UAE and abroad. The network supports consultations and surgeries across its Dubai, Kuwait, and Doha facilities. This system allows international patients to begin planning in one city and undergo treatment in another. The team provides direct consultation with the lead surgeon and detailed pre-operative instructions.
