Dr. Bouraoui Kotti

To book an appointment with Dr Kotti, please contact our reception via WhatsApp or call +971 4 383 0500.

Dr. Bouraoui Kotti is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon licensed by the Dubai Health Authority and a Fellow of the European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (EBOPRAS, 2008). He sees patients at ELEMENTAL Day Surgical Center in Jumeirah 1 for breast, body and facial surgery. He has practised in Dubai since 2014.

He graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis and trained in plastic surgery in Tunis, Nice and Paris, including microsurgery and reconstructive oncology. From 2009 he led the plastic surgery unit at Institut Salah Azaïz, the cancer institute in Tunis, where his daily work was breast reconstruction after cancer. That reconstructive background shapes how he plans aesthetic breast surgery today: tissue quality, blood supply and scar position come first, implant size second.

Dr. Kotti has published on breast lift technique and on the classification of breast ptosis in peer-reviewed journals, including Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. He consults in English, French and Arabic.

The ELEMENTAL approach

Operations take place in the operating theatres of ELEMENTAL, a day surgical center licensed by the Dubai Health Authority (licence 5323888), with a specialist anaesthesiologist present. Most patients go home the same day. Whether a procedure suits you, and whether it can be done as day surgery, is decided at an in-person consultation after examination.

Consultation with Dr. Bouraoui Kotti — from AED 1,000. The price of surgery is confirmed in writing after the consultation.
