How it works
How patients from Dubai are seen
1 — The consultation
Patients travelling from Dubai and across the UAE are seen at Elyzee Hospital in Abu Dhabi, where all consultations and surgery take place. The visit is unhurried and private: your examination, the technique your anatomy actually needs and the honest trade-offs are covered in the same appointment. Consultations are held in English, Portuguese or Spanish.
2 — Surgery at Elyzee Hospital, Abu Dhabi
Where possible, the surgical date, pre-operative tests and the anaesthesia review are arranged around a single additional trip rather than several separate journeys. Procedures are performed under the highest safety standards in premium, fully accredited hospital facilities, with board-certified anaesthesiologists.
3 — Follow-up
The first days are spent in Abu Dhabi under clinical monitoring, and subsequent review appointments are scheduled together where possible to keep the number of journeys down. The emirate you live in changes the logistics — never the clinical plan.

How do I choose a plastic surgeon in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?+
Look at verifiable credentials rather than marketing: board certification, membership of recognised societies such as ISAPS and ASPS, and where the surgery is actually performed — a fully licensed hospital with board-certified anaesthesiologists. Then judge the consultation itself: a good surgeon explains which technique your anatomy needs and why, covers the trade-offs — scars, recovery time, what the operation cannot fix — as plainly as the benefits, and tells you when a smaller procedure is enough or when surgery is not the answer.

Yes. Dr. Michels is board certified by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and is a member of ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery), ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) and EPSS (Emirates Plastic Surgery Society). In 2025 he received the Gold Medal, Best Body Contouring — World Plastic Surgery Olympiads 2025 (ISAPS, Singapore).

The full range of face, breast and body plastic surgery — including the deep plane facelift, mini facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, breast lift and reduction, tummy tuck, liposuction and BBL — alongside signature techniques rarely offered in the region, such as the MILA scarless tummy tuck and minimally invasive rib remodeling. Every plan is tailored to your anatomy at the consultation.
