Dubai police raid illegal plastic surgery clinic
Police officers and municipal inspectors have shut down an unlicensed clinic in Dubai where untrained 'surgeons' carried out cosmetic surgery procedures as patients laid on makeshift beds and surgical equipment mingled with kitchen utensils, reported the National. Several people were arrested in the raid, which was conducted after an undercover investigation found that the clinic was offering services such as lip and cheek enlargement, facelifts, laser hair removal, Botox injections and laser plastic surgery at prices far below what legitimate doctors charge.- » UAE delays smoking ban
