The Dubai skyline.
The imposter conducted fat-removal liposuction procedures under primitive conditions, according to Dr. Jeehan Qadir, head of the Dubai branch of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Hospital.
"The operating conditions were so primitive that he discarded the removed fat into a cooking pot," the newspaper quoted Qadir as saying.
The operation "requires a special disposal machine which he did not have," she said.
The Arabic-language Emarat al-Youm identified the fake surgeon as Steven Moose.
Qadir said that the imposter was exposed after one of Hopping's patients sent the celebrity surgeon a copy of the fraudster's business card and asked, "Is this really you?"
Hopping told Emarat al-Youm from Washington that the fraudster is wanted for trading in uncertified medical supplies and sedatives, and that he has committed several violations in more than one country.
"This person went to Dubai to continue his illegal medical activities," the newspaper quoted the Harvard-educated surgeon as saying.
Police sources told the press that the fake surgeon has been on Interpol's Red Notice alert since 2008 and was once arrested and released by UAE authorities because the United States did not follow up on his case.
Qadir said she suspected that many women knew that the fraudster was not a certified surgeon but went to him anyway because his fees were as low as 500 dirhams (136 dollars).
