Mr Reza Nassab FRCS (Plast) is not simply British-trained — he is a currently practising UK Consultant Plastic Surgeon, on the GMC Specialist Register, a BAAPS Council Member, and DHA-licensed in Dubai. Surgery at Quttainah Specialized Hospital, Al Wasl Road, Umm Suqeim 3.
Many surgeons in Dubai describe themselves as British-trained. It is worth understanding what that does — and does not — tell you. Training in the UK at some point in the past is not the same as being held to UK standards today.
Mr Reza Nassab is a currently practising UK Consultant Plastic Surgeon. He remains on the GMC Specialist Register in Plastic Surgery — a live, continuously audited status requiring annual appraisal and five-yearly revalidation — and operates every month at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester. He serves on the Council of BAAPS, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, helping set the standards other surgeons follow.
In Dubai, he holds a DHA licence and performs surgery at Quttainah Specialized Hospital. Patients in the UAE receive exactly the same consent process, surgical standards, implant choices and structured aftercare as his UK patients — because it is the same practice, not a franchise or a memory of one.
Verifiable, Live Credentials
Anyone can claim training. Mr Nassab’s status is checkable today: GMC number 4704243 at gmc-uk.org, DHA licence via the Sheryan register, BAAPS membership on the association’s public surgeon list. We encourage every patient to verify — for any surgeon they consider.
UK Standards, Delivered in Dubai
Two-stage consultation and cooling-off, structured written aftercare, CE-marked Mentor and Motiva implants with published long-term data, and honest advice — including when not to operate. The UK’s regulatory culture, applied at Quttainah Specialized Hospital.
Continuity Between UK and UAE
Travel between Dubai and Britain? Mr Nassab practises in both. Consultation in Manchester, surgery in Dubai, follow-up in either — one surgeon, one clinical record, no handovers. A genuinely rare arrangement.
A Leader in the Field
BAAPS Council Member, 34+ peer-reviewed publications, invited speaker at international meetings, featured in The Sunday Times, The Guardian and on national television. Expertise recognised by peers — not just marketed to patients.
Yes. Mr Nassab holds a DHA (Dubai Health Authority) licence and operates at Quttainah Specialized Hospital, Al Wasl Road, Umm Suqeim 3. His UK credentials — FRCS (Plast) and GMC Specialist Register — remain active alongside his Dubai licence.
“British-trained” describes where a surgeon studied, possibly many years ago. Mr Nassab is a currently practising UK consultant: he remains on the GMC Specialist Register in Plastic Surgery, undergoes annual UK appraisal and revalidation, and operates in Manchester today. His Dubai patients receive the same live, audited UK standard — not a historical qualification.
Yes — and you should, for any surgeon you consider. His GMC registration (number 4704243) can be checked at gmc-uk.org, and his DHA licence via the Dubai Health Authority’s Sheryan practitioner search.
Yes. Because Mr Nassab practises in both Manchester and Dubai, patients who travel between the UK and UAE can arrange consultations, surgery and follow-up in whichever country suits them — with the same surgeon throughout. This continuity is rarely available from any other surgeon in either country.
Breast augmentation, breast lift (mastopexy), augmentation mastopexy, breast reduction, tummy tuck, mummy makeover and facelift — all at Quttainah Specialized Hospital, Dubai.
