As reported by The Blast | June 26, 2023
Celebrities are flocking to the Middle East for the latest in plastic surgery, and according to a new report from The Blast, it’s all the work of one man: Dr. Bouraoui Kotti.
When the world’s wealthiest and most powerful desire youthful beauty or need reconstructive surgery, they trust only the most acclaimed and high-profile plastic surgeons. Dr. Kotti, an aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon based in Tunisia and Dubai, has been a household name among high-profile public figures for over a decade, thanks to his stellar results and elite pedigree. His recent arrival in Dubai has already alerted celebrities and royalty around the world, positioning the UAE as the premier destination for the best in cosmetic enhancement.
Golden Visa: A Signal of Medical Excellence
The Department of Health in Abu Dhabi awarded Dr. Kotti a Golden Visa two years ago (circa 2021), granting him residency in the UAE along with a host of other privileges. Dr. Kotti was among the first-ever recipients of this prestigious visa, an award given only to a select few who demonstrate they are at the top of their field and can make a tremendous impact on the UAE community at large.
This recognition signals the UAE’s ambition to become a global powerhouse in medicine, joining its leadership in industries like real estate, finance, and technology.
Since moving to Dubai and establishing his practice in the region, the news has reportedly prompted several high-profile figures to fly from around the world for consultations with Dr. Kotti. While patient privacy prevents the disclosure of names, sources indicate the list is filled with Hollywood elites.
An Elite Pedigree and Global Recognition
Dr. Kotti’s journey to becoming a trusted name among celebrities began with rigorous training across continents:
- After graduating in Tunisia, he went to Paris, earning a Diploma from the French College of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (PRAS) in 2007.
- He obtained a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in PRAS at the Medical School of Nice Côte d’Azur in 2008.
- That same year, he received European Board certification (EBOPRAS) in Madeira, becoming the first native Arab and African non-European doctorate quality certified and recognized by the EBOPRAS.
His presence on the global stage was cemented over a decade ago. In 2012, he was recognized as a “Rising Star in Plastic Surgery” at the International Confederation of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery in Beijing. He also gained international notoriety as the first-ever National Secretary for Tunisia for the International Society of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) , a position he held for eight consecutive years.
Upon his move to the UAE, Dr. Kotti expressed his commitment to elevating the region’s medical standing:
“My colleagues in the UAE are some of the best plastic surgeons in the world. It will be my honor to amplify our presence on the global stage through ISAPS and I know that we will lead our field with immense pride.” — Dr. Bouraoui Kotti

While Dr. Kotti’s practice covers many areas of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, he is best known for his work in breast surgery. Many also know him from his highly successful book, “The Breast Key Book,” which details his innovative approaches and philosophy.
