Dubai Hair Transplant Teaching Conference
Greetings all, in more recent news, I have just returned from Dubai teaching a course in Hair Transplant Surgery. The attending physicians came from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Dubai, and the United States. It was very interesting to hear the practice experiences of the attending Cosmetic Surgeons in their respective countries. One physician from Iraq described how he treated Saddam Hussein’s wife, who then brought him to treat Saddam himself. He went on to treat Saddam for a period of 5 years, all the while his 6 brothers were killed by Saddam’s people. He wears a Rolex watch that Saddam gave him as a gift. Another physician who currently practices in Iran described in great detail how the current political and social issues there have affected his practice and his personal life. The city of Dubai is a sight to behold. The infrastructure is modern and well planned. The malls are all like the nicest stores on Rodeo Drive or 5th Avenue. I went to the top of the tallest building in the world (2 1/2 times the size of the Empire State Building!), went skiing in the indoor ski resort, and saw the world’s only 7 star hotel. I also had the chance to meet some new prospective patients and follow up with some of my existing patients who live in the Middle East. I may be going back to Dubai in the next few months to perform cases on private patients there and will keep you updated on these activities. I have posted some photos of my trip below.
All the best,

Malaysia Hair Transplant Teaching Conference
Greetings all, it has been a long time since I have posted so there is a lot to catch up on. In October I conducted a training course in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, under the auspices of the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine, for Cosmetic Surgeons interested in pursuing Hair Transplant Surgery. The Physicians that attended came from all over the world including Pakistan, Hong Kong, China, England, Malaysia, and the United States. The clinic where we performed the course was a beautiful state of the art new facility called Health Pathway. It was very gratifying to teach the physicians my personal approach and techniques in Hair Restoration, and to hear about their practice experiences in their respective countries. I also had the opportunity to demonstrate an Eyebrow Transplant on of the attending physicians who had a scar in his eyebrow. The family that operates Health Pathway went out of their way to show me the city and entertain me during my stay, and I am grateful to them for this. The city of Kuala Lumpur is quite impressive. The architecture is modern and beautiful with some of the largest and most advanced buildings in the world. The endless palm trees provide for a beautiful landscape beyond the towering skyscrapers. I have posted some photos below from my trip.
All the best,
Marc Dauer, M.D.
