Medical Safety Standards
Your safety is not a feature — it is the foundation of every decision we make
Why Safety Standards Matter in Cosmetic Surgery
Cosmetic surgery is elective — which means any avoidable complication is unacceptable. At Dawood Center, we treat every procedure — from a small Botox session to complex body contouring — as if a single patient's wellbeing depends entirely on our attention. Because it does.
This page outlines the protocols we follow, the standards we hold ourselves to, and the rights you have as a patient. We encourage you to ask about any of these during your consultation.
Accredited Surgical Facility
All general-anaesthesia procedures are performed at a Ministry of Health-accredited hospital — not an under-equipped clinic. This guarantees access to a recovery room, crash cart, emergency equipment, and ICU backup.
Board-Certified Anaesthesiologist
Anaesthesia is administered and monitored throughout by a specialist anaesthesiologist holding board certification — never a nurse or technician. Their sole responsibility is your vital signs for the entire duration of the procedure.
Mandatory Pre-Operative Testing
No surgery proceeds without full blood work, cardiac clearance, and a review of all medications and chronic conditions — even for minor procedures. There are no shortcuts.
Sterile Technique Protocol
All surgical instruments are single-use sterile. Operating theatre preparation follows international infection-control protocols. Surgical gowns, drapes, and barriers meet hospital-grade standards throughout.
Informed Consent — No Pressure
Before any procedure you receive a complete explanation of the surgery, realistic outcomes, risks, and alternatives — with enough time to consider. You may ask as many questions as you need. Nothing is rushed.
Post-Operative Follow-Up
Follow-ups are scheduled at day 1, week 1, month 1, and 3–12 months depending on the procedure. International patients receive remote check-ins by video or WhatsApp after returning home. Dr. Dawood's direct contact is available throughout recovery.
Your Rights as a Patient
Right to Full Information
You are entitled to know everything about your procedure — the real risks, not softened ones; realistic outcomes; and the alternatives available to you.
Right to Confidentiality
Your medical records are completely private. Nothing is shared with any third party without your explicit written consent.
Right to Refuse
You may withdraw consent at any point — including after signing and immediately before anaesthesia. There is no pressure and no penalty.
Right to Ask Questions
There is no question too small or too obvious. We encourage you to ask everything and answer with full honesty — including "I cannot guarantee that."
When Dr. Dawood Says No to Surgery
A good surgeon sometimes determines that surgery is not the right choice — and that decision is based on safety and ethics, not profit. Procedures are declined in the following situations:
- → Pre-operative testing reveals a health risk that makes general anaesthesia unsafe
- → The patient expects an outcome that is anatomically impossible — and we cannot align expectations
- → The patient appears to be under psychological pressure or their decision seems unstable — we recommend postponing
- → The requested procedure is unlikely to deliver an improvement that justifies the surgical risk
- → Insufficient time has passed since a prior surgery — particularly for revision rhinoplasty
