The majority of Arab women who want cosmetic surgery have one destination in mind; London, England. Leading cosmetic surgeon Professor Laurence Kirwan says that 90% of Arab women who leave the Middle East to have cosmetic surgery performed go to Europe. And over half of them from Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates, Qatar and other countries in the region choose London for their treatment.
Professor Kirwan says,” London is famous for a lot of things and now you can count top-notch cosmetic surgery among those things. These women come from very wealthy backgrounds and they can afford to go anywhere in the world to have their cosmetic surgery done so naturally they choose the place with the best reputation.”
According to Kirwan, 20% of wealthy Arabs who have cosmetic surgery would now choose to come to Europe – with 10% of those coming to London.
But even with an influx of potential new patients, Kirwan is now going to take his services to them. He will now be consulting in Abu Dhabi once a month.” The Arab market continues to grow as Arab and Middle Eastern women continue to become more open to the idea of cosmetic surgery. It just makes sense to go to where the market is growing.”
Kirwan already has an international presence with clinics in Harley Street in London and in New York and Connecticut in the USA. He has long been sought out by wealthy clients from the Arab world and expects his consultancy will be in high demand in Abu Dhabi.
Arab women, like their Western counterparts, are influenced by what they see in the media and want to feel good and look beautiful. Despite the fact that cosmetic surgery is outlawed in some Arab states and that many Arab women remain covered around all but their husbands and family, they still want to look the best that they possibly can.
