Excerpted Letters from Happy Patients.
Dear Dr. Sabet,
It has been 2 months since my breast augmentation and I am more pleased than I ever thought I would be! I was told from the first visit in your office that you were the best of the best and the results would be amazing. Your staff was right, and I wanted to let you know that I am very grateful for the extra attention you gave me during surgery that took much longer because of the problems you had to correct due to the inadequate surgery done in America.
Three years ago, I underwent breast augmentation in America. Immediately after surgery, my husband and I both knew that the procedure had not been successful. For the past 3 years, I have suffered with encapsulation and uneven, misshapen breasts. While living abroad, the left breast deflated and I needed immediate attention for repair/replacement. Your expertise and friendliness and the attention during my stay at Emirates Hospital is what I am most thankful for.
I would not hesitate to have any procedure, elected or emergency, done at your hospital in the future. Be assured, I have given your name to many friends and acquaintances when the opportunity presents itself. In November, after most of the pain and swelling was gone, I found my physical appearance so much more improved over what I have been living with for the past 3 years. Everything from bathing suits to exercise tops to evening gowns look fabulous! And as I begin to exercise again, they only look better! Dr. Sabet, thank you for everything! I will come again for updated photos in January.
See you soon,
Your happy patient!

Hi Dr. Afif,
I just wanted to let you know that six weeks after my breast augmentation the results are amazing. I am very pleased with my new breasts and I am making sure I do my 'massage' all the time. I have recommended you to LOTS of women. One of my friends has already contacted Racquel for information. I have been telling her what a good experience I had and she should go to you and not anywhere else!
Kindest Regards,

Dear Dr. Christiaan,
My life completely changed after I got rid of this extra weight with (Gastric Banding). I started looking at the world from a different angle - from an angle full of hope, ambition and confidence. Whenever I look at myself in the mirror and see this huge positive change on my appearance and my feelings, I feel grateful and appreciative to the caring team of the CosmeSurge staff and Emirates Hospital staff. Special thanks to the person who guided me, helped me reach this level... Dr. Christiaan.

Dear Dr. Max,
I'm very pleased with my operation and would recommend Dr. Sawaf to anyone considering Liposuction. He answered all my questions, made the procedure itself interesting (almost fun) and was very concerned that I am pleased with the results. The Tumescent Technique was quite appealing to me (I had wanted to avoid the unnecessary additional risks of "total" anaesthesia and needed to "see" the process). And, while I could still use a little more exercise and toning up, I don't have ugly bulges anymore.
Thanks to him.

Hello Rita,
How are you? The assistance that you gave us during our procedures was truly beyond the limits of your work. Every one at your clinic, from reception to the nurses to the assistants, were all so great, you made my experience absolutely the best! As for Dr. Gabriel Saab, he too is an amazing person. So very gentle and professional. True, his time was very limited, but it was worth the trip just to have met him! And finally, my nose. It is better than I had expected or even imagined. I fully trusted Dr. Gabriel. He made the perfect suggestions and decisions for my case and with his perfect skills, I am EXTREMELY HAPPY. May God bless you all for your hard work.
Best regards, always.

Dear Dr. Giulio,
I want to thank you for the wonderful facelift you’ve performed. It is a miracle. I am so confident and comfortable with myself. At first I had my doubts about this operation. You made me feel so comfortable that I was not afraid to go through with the operation. If I had to do it again I would. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Debbie (Dahran, KSA)
Dear Dr. Harley,
Thank you for the Thermage session. In less than two months my skin feels tighter, the outline and texture of my face and neck have improved. Thank you for your kindness, advice and professional help. I did not have any side effect, and the session was very smooth. I can't wait till I get Thermage lift for my eyes. Hopefully soon.
Kind regards.

Dear Dr. Sabet Salahia
I trust you had a good vacation, and now you are back I wanted to write to you, to let you know the impact the surgery I had with you has made on my life!
I am a new woman, and after spending a lifetime avoiding mirrors, I cannot walk past one without stopping and admiring the way you have made me look.
Thanks to the liposuction my double chin has vanished which makes me look 10 years younger according to all of my friends, my breasts no longer give me constant back ache and discomfort in the heat, and thanks to the liposuction (and the breast lift), I can now walk into a shop and buy clothes off the peg.
My waist measurement was so enormous before in comparison to my hips that to buy off the peg was impossible.
I don't think I can ever explain how wonderful it felt to walk into Marks and Spencer's and be able to fit easily into size 14 trousers and slim fitting T Shirts, without worrying about the love handles, droopy breasts, and bulging tummy.
I truly cannot compliment you and your work enough. It is unbelievable that without losing any significant amount of weight, you have sculpted my body in such a skilful way; I easily look and feel 20 pounds lighter.
You have given me back my life and I don't think I can ever thank you enough.
You were gentle, kind and patient, even though I know I can be somewhat awkward to deal with, and you and your wonderful staff made me feel totally at ease from start to finish.
I have passed your name onto so many people; I was surprised to discover how many other ladies are unhappy with the way they look. I am happy to be a walking advertisement for your skill.
I thank you again wholeheartedly
Annabelle Parton
I am writing to express my gratitude for the wonderful work you and your team performed on my eye lids. I was extremely apprehensive about the procedure, but the professionalism and kindness you all showed soon put me at ease. The result is quite amazing and I am thrilled to be able to wear eye make-up for the first time in years. Thank you for giving me my confidence back and I look forward to seeing you in February when i visit my twin sister. Once again thank you very much.
Yours sincerely

CosmeSurge made me feel very secure with my decision to have nose surgery. I had a large nose with a small face and refined features. I decided to go ahead with the surgery. It was performed in the morning and I was home in the afternoon with a splint on my nose. Even though it was done under local anaesthesia I did not feel anything…
Breathing was difficult, the postoperative pain was minimal and I had only a slight amount of bruising. The splint was removed after seven days and I was delighted with the results.
The Surgeon did a super job! The staff is terrific!
Thanks.
M.N. of Jeddah
Dear Dr. Giuloi,
May I take this opportunity to thank you and the staff at Cosmesurge for all the help and support over the last month following my recent surgery. My husband beat me to it to thank you, and I wanted to do it personally.
Having had three lots of surgery in one, Breast Implants, Full Tummy Tuck and Liposuction, my recovery has been brilliant and the results are just fantastic. Thanks to Dr Sabet , who I trusted implicitly both at the consultation and on the day! Dr. Sabet was a true Professional and I trusted and valued his opinion from the beginning. I would not think twice about recommending him to anyone who is thinking of undergoing this kind of surgery. Secondly, If at a later stage I would consider having more surgery, Dr. Sabet would be my first choice of Surgeon!.
In addition the other person whom I would like to thank personally, would be Alison Potter, who I believe, has now relocated to Qatar. Being English myself, I found Alison to be truly fantastic! Alison communicated everything to me with such empathy and professionalism. A day before my surgery, Alison, made so much time for me to explain a lot of information about the Surgery, Aftercare, Garment, PR Cell and Dietitian etc., something which had not been explained to me right up until the last minute. Without this knowledge I truly believe I would have gone into the surgery feeling very anxious and afraid. Alison put my mind at rest and she gave me so much confidence, it was all I needed to reassure me.
In my opinion, Alison was fantastic in advising and guiding me through the aftercare period, which at the time, was the lowest point of the surgery and recovery period. Alison is a truly wonderful person and I do feel that if you are appealing to a Western market it is very important for Cosmesurge to cater for those clients in the form of a 'Patient Support Advisor'. I guess this recommendation to you, is because I am British and we do things in a different way!!! and certainly communication from start to finish, is in my opinion, the most important aspect of undertaking this kind of life changing decision.
Furthermore, The sessions I have had with Rowena and the PR Cell have been supherb too, so much so that I have signed up for a course of LPG now for the next 7 weeks.
On that note Dr. Max I would like to thank you for your time in reading this and please do not hesitate to contact me or please feel free to use my name as a reference for the surgery. I am exceptionally happy with the results, they have changed my life!
Best wishes and regards to all the lovely staff at Cosmesurge Dubai.
Yours sincerely,
L . M . S
How are you? It was really amazing meeting you in Dubai. You are a truly fantastic person, truly unforgettable for your kindness, your generosity and thoughtfulness. The assistance that you gave us during our procedures was truly beyond the limits of your work. I really cannot say thank you enough! I personally will recommend your clinic to any of my friends or any one that I meet in the future! Every one at your clinic, from reception to the nurses to the assistants, were all so great, you made my experience absolutely the best! To you, a VERY SPECIAL thank you! I will not forget you, that’s for sure.
As for Doctor Gabriel Saab, he too is an amazing person. So very gentle and professional. True, his time was very limited, but it was worth the trip just to have met him!
And finally, my nose. It is better than I had expected or even imagined. I fully trusted Doctor Gabriel. He made the perfect suggestions and decisions for my case and with his perfect skills, he has managed to give me a truly perfect nose! I am EXTREMELY HAPPY and thank you Doctor Gabriel for your perfectionism.
May God bless you all for your hard work. Best regards, always.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You…..
Everything for my teeth cleaning and whitening appointment went extremely well. I would like to compliment Cosme Surge on their highly professional staff. I was made very comfortable from the moment I entered the building. I also want to take this opportunity to recognize Dr. Bayan and her assistant for their highly professional yet caring and gracious manner. I am highly satisfied with the whitening results, and I will refer my acquaintances to you for their necessary dental requirements.
Thanks, M.K
I want to thank CosmeSurge for the wonderful work they performed on my breasts. It is a miracle. I am so confident and comfortable with myself. At first I had my doubts about this operation. You made me feel so comfortable that I was not afraid to go through with the operation.
If I had to do it again I would. Thank you so much.

"Dear Dr. Sawaf,”
I wanted to express once more my appreciation for your expert and kind treatment of me yesterday. I have had several surgeries over the past few years (knees, eyes, sinuses) and so have had the opportunity to observe surgical teams at work both as a patient and as a physician. The comfortable working relationships, which you have with each other, your years of working together, and the smooth, coordinated division of activities during the procedure all contribute to making the patient very comfortable. The local analgesia was very effective and I had minimal discomfort during the surgery.
It is now 24 hours postop. I have virtually no swelling of my face or scalp. I took to Percacet last night, slept well, and have required only a couple of Tylenol today for the slight discomfort at the donor site (no pain at all over the frontal scalp). My teenage daughter (who still doesn't know I had hair transplantation surgery) and I spoke for a few minutes and she did not even notice that my head looked different than usual (true, my hair was combed forward). We'll see if she notices later tonight. My wife, who is a physician, looked me over before my daughter arrived home and was impressed that my head looked so good on postop day #2.
I am happily looking forward to the prospect of a new hairline."
Appreciatively,
Shawn of Torrance, California
I have recently undergone a permanent make-up treatment through your office. I want to give praise where praise is deserved. From the first call with Raja to the excellent job done by Iro Smith I am 100% satisfied. First, with Mariam, who was new, still made me feel comfortable and was extremely prompt finding answers to my questions. I really want to thank Iro for her concerns and attention to details. She made me feel very comfortable and that I was in good hands, she answered all questions and prepared me for the treatment. Everything went well. Understanding that the results are not always completely successful I am still satisfied with the results so far. I also have no hesitation about returning to your office for another treatment if required. But for now we will wait and see. Hats off to all and keep up the great work.

My experience with CosmeSurge and his staff was most gratifying. My surgery was much greater than I ever expected. Everything went smooth except the ride during the snow storm! The outcome was more than satisfying. My self-esteem over the past years since the surgery has risen to heights I'd never thought possible. It's just amazing how differently I feel about myself now and how others look at me. Believe me, it's worth every dime and I'd do it all over again in a minute!
G. T. of Montreal
I have had an endoscopic brow lift, fat transfer and a full-face laser.
With all the procedures, the discomfort, cost & results were fully disclosed. I am completely satisfied with the way I was treated & more than satisfied with all the results.
Dr. Sawaf & his staff are a warm, caring group. They made me feel like I was important to them & could call for information and reassurance during my recovery.
The full-face laser was uncomfortable for the first few days but the pain medication alleviated most of that. I would do it again - I’m thrilled with the results!
S.R. of Dammam
This was the most wonderful experience that I can remember regarding medical miracles. All the staff was very supportive and sensitive to all my physical and emotion needs during my weight reduction program. Rene Deker is the nicest person on earth! In just 8 weeks I have lost 15 pounds, 4 inches, wear 2 sizes smaller and have been the recipient of numerous compliments of the new me! Having finally lost the extra weight has lifted my spirits, self-esteem and has been one of the best gifts I have ever given myself. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
N. B. of Damascus
"Dear Dr. Sawaf,”
Thank you so much for your participation in last night's symposium for the Women's Forum.
Obviously it could - and perhaps should - have been at least an hour longer, but I know the members of this prestigious group left with a clearer understanding of choices for skin problems and cosmetic surgery thanks to your excellent presentation.
With warm personal regards,
Z.B. Newport Beach
Five years ago I elected to have breast augmentation surgery at CosmeSurge. Having breast augmentation surgery was a very personal decision that I had agonized over for many years. After consulting with my OB-GYN, I was referred to CosmeSurge. After meeting with Samira, I elected to have the surgery. The surgical procedure went very smoothly and the results were wonderful! My breast size increased from a 32AA to a 34C. My body now appears more in proportion and my self-esteem has improved by 100%. Putting on a swimsuit is now no longer a dreaded event!
Thanks to Dr. Max and his wonderful staff!
R.C. from Dubai.
I have already recommended you and your staff to quite a few others (including my own patients!). You know how to make a person feel at ease and relaxed, with your warm and comforting office. Everything and everybody was so excellent at what they had to do. I absolutely love the results.
I can't thank you enough for all what you've done for me.
J.L., a 40 year-old physician and mother who had breast augmentation and lift (mastopexy) from Dubai
Words cannot explain how happy I am with everything CosmeSurge has done for me. I have been treated like and individual and the surgeon has listened to me and explained to me the process I was having done. The time I wait to the doctor see the doctor has never been long, and when it is my turn the doctor gives me her full attention and time.
The staff at CosmeSurge care and it shows in her work and attitude towards me. They are the best! I can't believe that someone so famous is also such a genuinely nice person!
K.G., a 46 year-old teacher who had eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) in Dubai
Thank you so much for such a positive experience! I never once felt as though I was just a number. All of you are quite professional, yet loving and caring, a rare combination in today's medical environment! I felt as though my heart was as well cared for as my body! Those of us who live in Saudi Arabia are truly lucky to have such a fabulous center here in close to us -
I know that people travel from all over the country to see CosmeSurge- Dubai.
K.R., a 35 year-old stay-at-home-mom who had a tummy tuck and liposuction from Saudi Arab
I've told everyone about the wonderful, professional and positive experience of being a patient at CosmeSurge. She truly has a gift for helping people look & feel better about themselves. It has been a pleasure being cared for by such great people!!
S.F., a 49-year-old nail technician who had breast augmentation from Dubai
My experience the day of surgery was excellent everyone was friendly, helpful and kind. I am 100% satisfied and thrilled with my results. I have already recommended you to many people. Like most people, I was a little uncertain about what all was happening when I first came home from surgery. When I got a call from my surgeon that night, it was incredibly reassuring! I still can't believe the doctor takes the time to call all of his patients after surgery!
D.M., a 62 year-old retired college professor who had a facelift, browlift and eyelid surgery (bleph) from Abu Dhabi
Dr. Sahar and Rabah,
I just wanted to take the time to Thank both of you for being so considerate and helping me through all the appointments and "fun stuff" I went through both before and after the surgery. Dr. Sahar, I am so thrilled with my results and I am so much happier now that it is truly amazing and I have you to Thank. THANKS!!!! I am eternally grateful to you. You have worked a miracle and I am glad that you helped me to achieve what I have always dreamed of having. Wonderful Thinner Thighs. I can't thank you enough, and I will always keep you in mind if I, or anyone else I should know could use your services. I couldn't have asked for or wished for a better Doctor. You were there for me to ask questions of before and after and you calmed my nerves on the day of the surgery. You were even there for me on a Saturday morning when I was sick. I don't know too many Doctor's that would care that much about their patients. Thank you.
I want to also thank you for the encouraging comments that kept me going from day to day. Your manner and how excited you were for me on what I looked like just a week after kept me going. I couldn't believe how excited you were for Me? Again… I can't thank you enough. Nada, You couldn't have been more knowledgeable in what you do and what you did for me. Thank you for setting up the surgery for me and Thank you answering every question I had before and after I met with Dr. Sahar. Thank you for your honesty and sincerity in what you told me about the surgeries. Thank you for being the one who always helped to schedule my appointments to see Dr. Sahar. Thank you for being there early in the mornings; with a smile on your face to the first patient of the day. Thank you for the encouraging comments on my first visit back after the surgery. Thank you for being so considerate and nice. THANKS!!!
V.T., a 26 year-old computer programmer who had liposuction from Dubai
From my initial phone call to the day of my surgery, the entire staff was very helpful, pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. Nada was extremely helpful and informative! I couldn't have asked for any more than I got during this emotional experience.
I absolutely LOVE the results! I would refer others to CosmeSurge.
L.L., a 31 year-old financial advisor who had rhinoplasty at Dubai
I've never been to a doctor's office where every member of the staff was as nice, polite, and helpful as everyone I met in your office. I felt very comfortable from my first visit on. I've recommended your office to several people already and I'm sure I will continue to do so.
I'm very, very happy with my results and sing your praises regularly! Thank you so very much!!!
A.D., a 32 year-old interior designer who had a tummy tuck, body lift, and breast lift after losing over 140 pounds at Dubai
I just want to thank the woman doctor for doing my hair transplant. My name is Randy Reibling, I had a transplant done on Sept 13, 2003. I want to say thanks you for believing in the hairline that I wanted, thank you for doing such a great job, and thank you for changing my life.
Randy R.
I would send any interested friend or family member to you. Everyone in the office is very friendly and I knew during my first visit, to gather info, that I would be having my surgery there! As for waiting to be seen, I don't think I've ever taken a seat in the waiting room. I've always been ushered back quickly. The surgeon did a beautiful job on my tummy thereby earning yourself "M&M's for life".
Thank you so much, call me if you ever have a Hershey emergency (I have Butterfinger connections, too)!!
C.M., a 49 year-old sales manager who had an bdominoplasty (tummy tuck) at Dubai
"She said She would make you look 10 years younger mum and she did" This was the comment from my son Max age 13 when I returned from my permanent eyebrow and eyeliner treatment with Iro Smith.
My friends who visited soon after were amazed, they are now going to
book flights from England to come and see Iro for permanent makeup.
Having permanent makeup has made me feel and look younger, more confident and attractive . I would recomend it to anyone . This really is "wash and go" no more struggling in the morning.
Thank you for your professionalism Iro.

Dear Nada,
Thank you for your e-mail and sincere apologies for the delay in replying, but I'm back at work and as usual very, very busy.
A car was arranged for me from the hospital (thank you) and I arrived at the Airport in good time. No one ran away from me while I was wandering around, so I probably looked fairly normal--I did have lots of make-up on and dark glasses!
Most of the swelling and bruises have disappeared from my face; the backs of my hands are still "puffy", but I'm sure that will subside in time. I have a wonderful firm jaw line now and of course no sagging on my neck. I had the last of my sutures (from behind my ears) removed to-day and those areas have also healed very well. The bruises are fast disappearing from my tummy and IT still remains fairly flat---long may it last!
Everyone I meet is very curious; they question me initially about the remaining bruises on my face and when I tell them I have had cosmetic surgery, their eyes light up and the questions come fast and furious. I have answered their questions truthfully as I have absolutely no inhibitions about telling people what procedures I had done and I also think I am a good advertisement for the work being done at the hospital.
A very sincere "thank you" for your kind and caring attention, you really are an asset to Dr. Max, but I know he highly appreciates you.
The nurses were all lovely and very caring, please say hello to them for me and also please convey my thanks and best wishes to Dr. Max.
Patricia.
Thank you very much for the e-newsletter. I treated my son at your clinic. You transplanted hair for him. His name is Zaid. He is better than before. Most of the hair you grew is Ok. He is in a good situation. He still has short places that are not intensive.
Thank you very much for your kindness and cooperating with us.

Hi Dr. Afif,
I just wanted to let you know that at six weeks 'post-op', my breast augmentation seems to be doing very well. I am very pleased with my new breasts and I am making sure I do my 'massage' all the time.
The muscles seem to be more sore than they were when I first had the surgery. In the last two weeks the breasts have been tender and they hurt more at night. Is this normal and should I be doing something different? I wear my proper bras all the time.
I have reccommended you to LOTS of women. One of my friends has already contacted Nada for information. I have been telling her what a good experience I had and she should go to you and not anywhere else!
Hope all is well.
Kindest Regards,
K. H
Hello Rima.
I just wanted you to know I returned to camp in one piece and survived wearing my armor on the long trip back. Everything seems to be healing well and everyday I get stronger and stronger. I hate wearing the bra and girdle though!!! Do you know when the clear “fishing” wire will come off the ends of my incisions? Will they fall out by themselves? Have yours come out?
I also wanted to thank you all for your hospitality and professionalism that I received during this procedure. I was able to relax, begin the healing process, and catch up on much needed sleep while there. I was also happy to meet you finally after all our e-mailing back and forth. Tell Dr. Max and Afif hello from the Iraqi girl. Have a wonderful day!
Sincerely,
Kristi
I wanted you to know that you made my experience in the hospital pleasant.
As pleasant as a tummy tuck can be! Your gentleness was a comfort to me and for that I am grateful.
It was also a pleasure to see you on this visit.
Kimberlee
Hello Marc,
Just wanted to say thank you for the professional way you treated me yesterday during the laser surgery.
I was sleeping great last night and I am feeling OK today.
