After a true breakthrough year, AI – artificial intelligence – is now found everywhere. Its role is inevitable for the future of all industries relying on science and technology. Dr. Bouraoui Kotti, a renowned plastic surgeon, bets on its advantages when it comes to giving the patient the best possible result & experience.
Without question, 2023 is the most significant year for artificial intelligence to date. The majority of online and digitally represented businesses and entrepreneurs have made the step to introduce AI-powered tools to their daily workflow. Whether it’s chat-bots leading customer support, algorithm-driven platforms improving user experiences, or even content creation – we have clearly passed the experimenting phase. One of the UAE’s leading experts in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery is making his case for its use in the industry of cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Mohammed Bouraoui Kotti is a renowned expert, highly awarded and recently credited by Arabian Business for attracting Hollywood-profile clientele to Dubai. The Tunisian-born surgeon has traveled the world through studies and work, collecting honorable accolades. He is the first native Arab and African non-European doctorate quality certified and recognised by the European board EBOPRAS and has gained global recognition after eight consecutive years as the first-ever National Secretary for Tunisia in the International Society of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).

Dr. Kotti’s portfolio boasts many other awards, scientific papers, and accolades, and he was appointed by the Ministry of Health of Abu Dhabi with a golden visa two years ago, to bring his expertise into the region. While his practices cover many different aspects and treatments of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Bouraoui Kotti has earned acclaim, particularly for his breast surgery results. He is regularly invited to teach his techniques and medical approaches.
Author Of ‘The BK Book’…
Dr. Kotti is the author of the book ‘The Hidden Stories Of The Breast’, better known as ‘The Breast Key Book’, a brainstorm on breasts from the perspectives of art to history, philosophy, and science, in the search for a definition of the perfect proportions for a beautiful breast, based on Fibonacci suites and golden ratios.

The idea of the symbiosis of art and science is not untypical amongst highly skilled plastic surgeons. Dr. Kotti has taken this idea further, translating his work into the digital world, in the form of his AI-driven ‘BreastApp’.
The app is developed to offer patients advice in the decision-making stages pre-surgery. With only 2 anonymous photos, using the information based on Dr. Kotti’s classification and algorithm for breast ptosis published in the Plastic Aesthetic Research Journal in 2018, the app points out options for procedures based on the aspired result.

The surgeon’s idea behind the app is to help women who are looking into possible procedures feel confident and more informed before heading into personal consultation with a doctor. “Funny and true story we discovered using the app for the first time, the clause “you’re beautiful no matter what they say” displayed when the software calculates the proportions to remind every woman using the app that she doesn’t need any surgery to be happy and good in her skin and bra!” It is also designed to ensure patients work with a plastic surgeon who is a member of one of the prestigious American or International Societies of plastic surgery to receive safe and professional consultation and treatment.
From a technical side, the BreastApp is based on image recognition, where an algorithm detects and calculates landmarks described by Dr. Kotti in his book. It respects privacy since the analyzed photos are anonymous, faceless, and at no point are downloaded, not even on the phone of the user. Using different Swift or Kotling technologies – depending on the device you are using – aims to add more AI by integrating deep learning for a continuously improving experience.

As with most learning AI software, the more they are used, the smoother the experience.
The surgeon himself recalls “a friend of mine in Washington DC called me once to tell me how brilliant the idea would be because every woman can do the test before seeing a plastic surgeon and can already get an idea of the treatment she would be looking at. If the aspired results for example would require a lift in addition to an implant, the patient would already know that the budget might vary from a simple breast augmentation for example, or that the treatment could include a scar. It gives patients more individual information and confidence to make decisions before the personal consultation.”

Dr. Kotti also makes very clear that “of course, nothing can beat the real consultation with a board-certified and recognized plastic surgeon. A good surgeon who may check the elasticity of your tissue and can propose solutions based on their rich practical experience is irreplaceable.” And adds with a smile “but if they’re a good one, their decision will probably match the app’s conclusion.”
So no, artificial intelligence will not replace your plastic surgeon. But it will make you more aware of the different solutions that may be offered to you according to your wishes and expectations. It offers a fast second opinion and additional information to make sure you are in the right hands.
