You probably didn’t know this, but there’s a prosthetics arts centre in Dubai that is the FIRST in the region. Omniyati Prosthetic Arts Center, with the word Omniyati meaning ‘my desire’ in parallel with the aims of this cosmetics prosthetics center since 2012.

This business has been up-and-running ever since, combining medical and science to create a prosthethic body part- to cater to clients who are missing a body part, have a deformity or a birth defect that they’d like changed.

It’s often unheard of, but has become a steadily successful business in the UAE.

So successful, in fact, that it has even been linked to an Oscar-winning documentary.
