UAE women rush into cosmetic surgery to please husbands
Marie Magleby; 28/6/08
A surgeon has disclosed that many women are seeking plastic surgery to restore their youthful looks and retain the interest of their husbands who they fear will take another younger wife. “Men are the main cause of pushing these women to plastic surgery,” said surgeon Sahar Al Kadhi, who added that marital discord is the main reason why women are willing to go under the knife. “Surgeons sometimes have to play psychologists for depressed patients who seek surgery to distract themselves from their emotional and physical pain,” said Loaay Haidar, a specialist in Italian cosmetic surgery. “We have to choose our patients with extreme care.”
