About

Dr. Piero Crabai is an Italian board-certified plastic surgeon with over 25 years of dedicated experience in the fields of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, as well as orthopaedics and facial surgery. He began his career in 1993 and has since become renowned for his expertise in cosmetic procedures, including face lifting, rhinoplasty, full-body transformations, and the specialised reconstructive techniques used in post-cancer breast reconstruction and post-bariatric surgery. Dr. Crabai's proficiency extends to managing complex reconstructive challenges following major accidents.
After earning his medical degree from the University of Florence, he pursued specialist training in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Orthopaedics and Traumatology at the University of Milan, further enhancing his skills with a Postgraduate Diploma in Facial Surgery from the University of Grenoble, France. Dr. Crabai continuously adapts to innovations by incorporating advanced technologies, biomaterials, and less invasive surgical techniques to achieve outstanding aesthetic outcomes.
Dr. Crabai leads prestigious medical centres in Italy (Rome and Milan), Switzerland (Lugano), and the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), and has established himself as an international speaker at major aesthetic surgery congresses. He is also a dedicated trainer in innovative technology, having conducted training sessions in more than 20 countries. His contributions to research in regenerative medicine—particularly in the development of diode laser devices, cavitation, and EPL—are widely recognised. Additionally, his service as a medical officer during peacekeeping operations in Somalia and Mozambique, and his current leadership role at the Military Hospital in Milan as a Lieutenant Colonel, further attest to his exceptional career and commitment to advancing surgical care.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”

Practitioners listed here are registered with the relevant United Arab Emirates medical authority and operate within national rules on scope of practice, prescribing rights, and continuing professional development. Care delivered in Dubai carries the additional benefits of local language support, in-person follow-up, and direct coordination with regional hospitals and labs.
