Growing up in a modest Indian household with four siblings, Dr. Sanjay Parashar’s life began in simplicity but brimmed with potential. His parents, working tirelessly to educate all five children, instilled in him strong values: resilience, discipline, and purpose. Their sacrifices laid the foundation for what would become a life of dedication and excellence in medicine.
“My father stamped me as a doctor the day I was born,” Dr. Parashar says with a smile. It wasn’t just a dream. It became his destiny. Gifted with ambidextrous hands, a strong artistic lineage, and an early affinity for fine detail, plastic surgery turned out to be not just his profession but his perfect calling.
Today, Dr. Sanjay Parashar is celebrated as the UAE’s number one plastic surgeon. With over 35,000 surgeries performed across more than 30 countries and three decades, his journey has made a profound impact both in the medical world and in the lives of thousands of patients.
Building a World Class Aesthetic Empire in Dubai
In 2005, Dr. Parashar took a bold step: he moved to Dubai, a city already filled with top tier aesthetic experts from around the globe. Breaking into such a competitive landscape was not easy. But he didn’t back down. “I had to prove myself from scratch in a place where the aesthetic market was already saturated with world renowned names,” he recalls.
That challenge soon transformed into opportunity. With relentless commitment and top level skills, Dr. Parashar built Cocoona Centre for Aesthetic Transformation, a clinic that quickly earned a stellar reputation. Today, Cocoona is recognized not only across the GCC but internationally, known for its patient first care, advanced treatments, and experienced team.
“To see Cocoona evolve into an award winning, trusted clinic is one of my proudest achievements,” says Dr. Parashar. “It represents more than a business. It’s a legacy born from a family vision, powered by global trust.”
Education, Innovation, and the Future of Aesthetic Medicine
Even after reaching such heights, Dr. Parashar remains committed to learning and innovation. He trained extensively across the globe in India, Bahrain, the USA, Australia, and South Korea. This diverse experience gave him unique insights and helped shape the global perspective he brings to his work today.
Now, he is focused on projects that aim to reshape the future of aesthetic medicine. His most recent initiatives include:
- SAFEPLAST, a safety first framework designed to guide future plastic surgeons and dermatologists on best practices
- Dermaplastic.ai, an AI powered learning platform that provides accurate, up to date education for both doctors and the public
“These projects are close to my heart,” says Dr. Parashar. “They’re about giving back to the industry, empowering professionals, and raising safety standards globally.”
Lessons from a Lifelong Journey in Medicine
With more than 30 years in the field, Dr. Parashar has accumulated not just awards but deep wisdom. One of his most valuable lessons is that safety should always come before perfection.
“In this field, it’s easy to chase results,” he explains. “But no result is worth risking a patient’s safety. This principle has shaped every decision I’ve made as a surgeon, as a leader, and as a human being.”
It’s a belief that has gained him admiration far beyond his surgical skills, positioning him as a role model for ethics and patient care in the fast paced world of aesthetic medicine.
Balancing Passion with Financial Wisdom
Dr. Parashar doesn’t just talk about surgery. He strongly believes in holistic growth. One piece of advice he would offer his younger self is to learn financial literacy early.
“Talent and training shape your hands,” he says. “But financial intelligence shapes your freedom. If I could go back, I’d tell my younger self to master money management alongside medical knowledge. It’s key to building a balanced and fulfilling life.”
A Legacy That Inspires
From the humble lanes of India to the heart of Dubai’s luxury medical scene, Dr. Sanjay Parashar’s story is a masterclass in grit, grace, and greatness. He shows what happens when natural talent meets lifelong discipline, and when personal success becomes a mission to serve others.
His journey isn’t just about beauty and transformation. It’s about living with purpose and giving others the tools to do the same.
As he continues to shape the future of plastic surgery through innovative platforms and patient centered care, Dr. Parashar remains grounded in his core values: gratitude, service, and excellence.
