Plastic surgery: 37% of Arab girls consider it

A survey by Dove has found that 37% of Arab girls between the ages of 15 and 17 would consider cosmetic surgery in the near future, a figure that reveals a generational shift in the way women in the region perceive beauty.

In comparison, only 27% of women between the ages of 18 and 64 would consider undergoing the procedures.

Dove representatives are in Dubai this week for a roundtable discussion with key industry experts to discuss the local relevance of its global Campaign For Real Beauty.
