I'm still a bit sore, but Healing well! if you are taking a taxi and as long as he know where dhcc is then when you get there, are clearly displayed signs. tell him to take you to Building 64, block C, the clinic is on the 4th Floor. otherwise just contact the clinic and ask for directions, they'll send you a map, which you can show your driver. Dr Rezai was really good in covering everything about my surgery so I didn't have anything to ask him. I was only asked to take a form of ID with me to my first consultation and that was it really. Good luck for next week.

Hey, He's an amazing surgeon, I had my tuberous breasts corrected and enlarged 2 weeks ago, even though it's still early days,I can see the remarkable diffrence in shape, for the first time in my life I have "normal" looking breasts. I cannot comment on his nose surgeries but he's a great surgeon and I'm very very happy with what he's done for me.

Hi! My husband has frequent episodes of having a stiff neck and we don't know why this keeps on happening. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good pillow? I told him that I will try to find the best pillow for him. Thanks. Hi, I'd highly recommend Tempur Traditional pillow, I've had it for 10 years now and can't have a good night sleep without it. I brought mine from Sweden, but I'm sure you can find it in Dubai.

LOL!! I love the cold weather! I really hated the heat when we lived in Doha, brought me out in terrible sweats and I suffered terribly with prickly heat. Anything above 20 degrees is too hot for me. Sitting here in my livingroom watching the snow falling, covering the hills. :) Where are you now? yes it's beautiful watching the snow from inside but it's a differnt story when you're out. I'm in south west of Sweden and it's always very windy here as it's by the coast. so you'll feel the cold right into your bones! and that's not really pleasant! I am in central Scotland. Would love to visit Sweden! I really get miserable in the heat and usually end up with a headache if it's too hot. I like getting wrapped up and walking in the snow and even the rain!! How daft is that?? :D edited by JoyceB on 21/03/2013 I'm sure I'll long for the cold when I'm in Dubai and feeling the HEAT of summer, but for now, as I'm experiencing the other end of the Extreeme, I only have positive feelings when I think of Dubai summer! Sweden is Beautiful and so realxing, actually I believe it to be similar to Scotland but weatherwise we have more sun here, even if it can get quite COLD!

Clark14, the name of the clinic is Elite cosmetic surgery group and it's in Dubai healthcare city. I am having my surgery with Dr Allen Rezai, he's a uk consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon and all reviews I found about him online where from his UK patients. if you Google him you'll find info on him. for their contact details go to their website address elitecosmeticsurgery.ae I haven't had surgery with them yet but my experience with him and his team been very good, so far! 2bnot2b had breast reduction with him and she's very happy. I'm meeting her when I'm back in Dubai.

Glad to hear! I've suffered from this condition since my teens and can't wait to feel and look "normal". the book is about cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery and will be launched in April (according to the email I recieved), hence the discount on breast surgery in April. it said in the email that the e-book can be downloaded for free from his website. I've joined their facebook so I'll know when it's out. I'll definitely email you when I'm back. x

hej, I'm actually in Sweden now, will return after Easter. I did book for end of April. And I'm now getting 10% off. recieved an email from the clinic last week about a book launch promotion which entitles me to the discount. I am having ba with tubular correction so the cost is basically more than just for a ba, so the email made my day. I was going to pay the full price anyway so this was a great surprise. hope you're healing well. have you had your dressing off yet?

Have you tried Googling? I went to see Dr Allen Rezai today for my tubular shaped breasts. his based at dubai healthcare city, I found him through internet, searching for tubular correction in Dubai, and his website came up. he has a section about breast reconstruction, I read about tubuluar correction and just browsed the rest of the pages and noticed info on diep flaps and other types of reconstruction. not sure if he does it himself or it's other surgeons at his practice who do, but it would not hurt to contact them and find out. I'm afraid I don't know much about the diep flap and what instruments are used for surgery. I hope you can find a doctor who does this. Goodluck!

We would love to take our daughters to Europe in the first week of April. They have never seen snow before...would it be possible to see snow close to a European city early April or is it far too late? Many thanks. You could try the Scandinavian countries, specially the fjords in Norway, the scenery is breathtaking, and there'll probably have snow even in April. :)

This same thing happened to us when we moved here a few months back. I know how stressful it is. Do you know if your landlord has applied for the title deed? Your agent can get it done using the title deed application. Go to the agent's office and sit on their head and get this done. If they dont respond, take it up with their managers. I was almost on the verge of booking my flight to home country and fortunately it all worked out at the last moment.... We have been told that they have applied for the title deed. Does anybody know how long that is meant to take? Can the agent really just use the title deed application? It doesn't seem that they even have that. I'll discuss with DH about going there to do a "sit in" if that is the only way to get this done. I'm on the verge to do all sorts of things...It seems that this country was not meant to be for me.. I know it's frustrating, but just try to stay calm, what ever you do DON'T loose your temper. the first advice I was given when moving here was to always keep a smile on my face whatever the situation! you have to act politrically and try to resolve this. fortunately we didnt have any issues with registeringthe ejari, actually it was the esatte agnets who were chasing us to get it sorted asap. one thing I know is that the person who has the tenancy agreement in his/her name should be present when registering the Ejari, that's why I left this task to Hubby! whatever you do avoid paying middlesman to do this for you as they charge more than double the actual fee for Ejari regsitration. Good Luck! I hope it gets sorted soon! please excuse the typo mistakes, my english is really not that bad! ;) I was just typing too fast...

Crate and Barrel have some nice vases. Perhaps also try Villeroy Boch in MoE. They sometimes stock Orrefors too. Thanks, I've just looked at wesbites for both shops, they seem to have a variety of vases, will visit the today :) Hopefully I'll find what I'm looking for!

Hi I wouldn't really know anything about the job offer you received, but if it makes you feel any better, the American Hospital is one of the best hospitals here in Dubai and it's quite well respected. So at least you have some peace of mind that it's not some mickey mouse hospital. Really? I had a shocking experience there as have several of my friends and would never grace their doors again. Yea, I think that is the way with so many Dubai Hospitals though. I've heard horror stories and really good ones about almost all the places here - City, Welcare, Medcare.... To be fair, I think in the end, it comes down to the individual doctor you've chosen. There's probably good and horrible ones in all the hospitals here. My personal experience there with a GP was quite good. Haven't been to the hospital myself. but I've also heard people having negative experience from visiting the hospital, but I also think it depends on the doctor you see. there are good and bad doctors, like in any other hospital.

I wouldn't use Groupon either, I'm having it done with Dr Allen Rezai, I had my nose done with him 2 years ago in London. few days ago I found out he's opened a clinic in Dubai healthcare city, I bet he'll be surprized to see one of his previous patients here! I'd highly reccommend him. I've read good reviews about him on various forums and also read patient fedbacks on his website, booked to see him for breast augmentation and correction of my tubular breasts. He seems to be an experinced breast surgeon, he does breast reconstruction surgery and I read about tubular correction on his website. when are you seeing him for your Botox? I saw a promotion on his website for Botox and fillres, I think! not sure if it's still valid though, but good to check it out before you see him. my appointment's on Thursday, Cannot wait!
