Cosmetic surgeons in Dubai have found many of their patients are asking them to carry out hair transplants. Eyebrows, eye lashes and facial hair seem to be the main problem areas.<\/p>\n
One Dubai surgeon, Dr Riad Roomi, said since 2009 when he started his practice there has been around a 78% increase in requests for this type of surgery. He told reporters: \u201cPeople are more educated, and the expectations from hair restoration and plastic surgery are a lot more realistic. Everyone wants to look natural and a lot depends on the surgeon the patient goes to.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cPatients have come to me with disastrous results that I have had to correct because they have gone to inexperienced surgeons.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOne particular case changed my philosophy on hair transplants because I used to think that people went in for treatments only for themselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cA few months ago, a blind gentleman came to me. He said, \u2018I wanted to feel the hair on my head.\u2019 After the treatment, he called me to tell that his family thinks that he looks 20 years younger.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of the more popular operations is eye lash surgery. One patient, a lady, said: \u201cI used to have very thin eye lashes and a lopsided eye-brow. I got it surgically fixed. I mean, let\u2019s face it, not all of us are genetically born beautiful and the industry I work for requires me to look conventionally perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n
