The modern plastic surgery consultation often begins not with a description of symptoms, but with a smartphone. Patients arrive armed with curated galleries of filtered selfies, algorithm-driven beauty trends, and the perfectly staged “results” of influencers. This digital backdrop has fundamentally reshaped the surgeon-patient dialogue, creating a potent new challenge: how to anchor expectations in […]
The sterile field of the operating room is often misperceived as a domain of absolute control, where a predetermined plan is executed with machinelike precision. In reality, it is a dynamic, fluid environment where certainty ends the moment the incision is made. As a plastic surgeon in Dubai, my primary tool is not the scalpel, […]
