In a groundbreaking initiative, Quttainah Specialty Hospital, in partnership with the Emirates Plastic Surgery Society, has unveiled the UAE’s inaugural live breast implant surgery course. The much-awaited two-day event, held on September 27 and 28, featured one of the leading authorities in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, Prof. Dr. Moustapha Hamdi. The course delved into advanced techniques in breast augmentation and lifting, utilizing innovative B-Lite implants by Polytech.

Throughout the event, live demonstrations of breast augmentation and lifting procedures highlighted state-of-the-art techniques and technologies. Participants acquired invaluable insights and practical knowledge, empowering them to elevate their practices to new heights. The Aesthetic Implant Live Breast Surgery Course is crafted to provide plastic surgeons with an exceptional opportunity to learn directly from Prof. Hamdi, a global pioneer in the field and the inventor of the techniques being showcased.

Prof. Hamdi, who holds the position of professor and chairman of the plastic and reconstructive surgery department at Brussels University Hospital in Belgium, has garnered worldwide acclaim for his expertise and contributions to plastic surgery. Reflecting on the importance of this pioneering course, Prof. Hamdi stated: “This course marks a significant milestone for cosmetic surgery in the UAE. By introducing advanced surgical techniques and innovations, we aim to improve both aesthetic outcomes and the long-term health of patients, ensuring optimal results with minimal impact on the body.”

The event will be hosted at Quttainah Specialty Hospital, founded by Dr Adel Quttainah, a renowned figure in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery with over two decades of experience. Dr Quttainah has also established Quttainah Medical Centers in Kuwait and Qatar, further solidifying his role as a leader in the field. Dr Quttainah emphasized the educational value of the course, saying: “We are committed to bringing the latest advancements in cosmetic surgery to Dubai by collaborating with esteemed professionals like Prof. Hamdi. This course offers an unparalleled opportunity for surgeons to gain hands-on experience with innovative techniques that will significantly enhance the level of care we provide to our patients in the region.”

A key highlight of the event will be the use of B-Lite implants, a groundbreaking advancement in aesthetic surgery. These implants, which are 30% lighter than conventional implants, are designed to minimize the long-term effects of implant weight on breast tissue, offering a more natural appearance and feel while ensuring enduring results without compromising on aesthetic objectives. Prof Zuhair Fardan, president of the Emirates Plastic Surgery Society, highlighted the significance of the course in advancing the field: “This course is vital for the future of cosmetic surgery in the UAE. It allows us to stay ahead of innovation, ensuring we deliver our patients with the highest standards of care and safety.”
