Weekly UAE museum and gallery guide: A painted Lamborghini and art with raw meat
A painted Lamborghini, sausages crafted from ceramics and wooden panels painted in gold – this week's round-up of exhibitions challenge conventional aesthetics with their use of unlikely materials and forms. Lebanese artist Ihab Ahmad paints with his non-dominant hand, letting go of painterly control in favour of spontaneity. The artists presenting at Rarares Art Gallery use gold leaf, ceramics and fabrics to explore transformation and femininity. Indian artist Richi Bhatia, meanwhile, uses fish scales and raw meat to explore food systems. Here are three exhibitions to see this week. I put my brain on pause! at Firetti Contemporary Every artist reaches a point when they question their process, their practice and even themselves. Lebanese artist Ihab Ahmad rose to the challenge by disrupting his entire approach. I Put My Brain on Pause! is the result of this experiment. Firetti Contemporary describes the exhibition as 'a deeply personal body of work that embraces instinct, vulnerability and emotional surrender'. Works that use oil on linen and spray paint show smiling faces (a first in Ahmad's work) as reflections of personal connections and memories. But the centrepiece of the exhibition, a work created in collaboration with Lamborghini Dubai, is a Huracan Spyder decked with whimsical patterns and figures, similar to those on the surrounding canvases. Monday to Sunday, 11am-7pm; until August 20; Alserkal Avenue, Dubai Elysian Awakening of Powerful Spring at Rarares Art Gallery This group exhibition is exclusively dedicated to women artists, spanning generations, geographies and practices. Established names such as Emirati artist Fatma Lootah and Rome-born artist Barbara Duran explore identity and transformation through abstract forms, light and textured surfaces. Duran's Sortilegio series, for instance, presents wooden panels layered with gold and silver pigments to evoke light. Emerging artists such as Emirati Sara Alkhayyal and Egyptian Zeina Abdullah revisit regional heritage through interesting use of materials and visual language. The exhibition, at its core, is a celebration of the contributions of women in contemporary art, exploring emotional depth and imaginative vision. Monday to Sunday, 10am-10pm; until August 31; Dubai International Financial Centre Antevasin: The one who sits at the border of two worlds at Gallery Isabelle Embodied research is central to artist Richi Bhatia's practice. Living with a skin condition, for instance, prompted an exploration of fish scales as an artistic material. Ultimately, it also led her to question our food systems and consumption habits. In The Animals, The Bodies, and Coefficient of Time, she constructs temporary-scale shelters from fish scales and stainless steel structures. In Prone to Change… she constructs a bundle of stringed sausages from ceramics. In Table - Bed II, she puts together animal hide, hair, bottled water residue, pearl head pins, ashwagandha and meat-referencing ceramics. The works may evoke discomfort – and that is partly the point. As the gallery describes: 'Food is both a sustainer of life and a site of suffering.'

Nurse shows surprising results of having Botox on ONE side of her face
A nurse had anti-wrinkle injections on one side of her face only to show others how the treatment really changes your looks. Brittany Krautheim, 41, from Queenstown, Maryland, has spent the past 21 years working as an esthetic nurse practitioner. In recent months she decided to conduct an experiment in which she received Botox on half her face and documented the outcome online in the hopes of enlightening others about the pros and cons of injectables. Brittany said: 'I injected the entire left side of my face (upper and lower). Areas included the 11s, forehead, crows feet, downturned smile, and platysmal sheath/bands. 'I stayed true to FDA on label dosing (but half since it was only half my face). Between my brows, I did 10 units, my forehead 10 units, my left eye 12 units, left downturned smile five units, left platysmal bands/sheath 18 units.' And while some may think that the results would be dramatic, they're actually more subtle. She said strangers often tell her they would not have noticed that she had Botox in half her face if she hadn't pointed it out. And according to the expert, that's a good thing. 'I think the biggest misnomer about Botox is that it's going to change how you look,' she explained. 'However, that's not really the goal. Good Botox allows you to keep your normal appearance while subtly reducing facial muscle contractions that cause wrinkles due to repetition. 'I think the results speak for themselves. I think both sides of my face look "natural."' Facing up: She had injections in the upper and lower areas, including her forehead and crows feet; pictured before (left) and after (right) While the differences aren't that noticeable yet, she said she believed that if she continued on with the project, the changes to her face would become more pronounced. 'Over time if I continued this project, let's say over the course of a year, one side of my face would have significantly more set in fine lines and wrinkles because the facial muscles are constantly contracting in the same place.' According to Brittany, there have been some negative side effects. 'It is strange to only have half of your face injected and I will say that around the third week I was getting headaches and having trouble focusing my vision because of the imbalance.' Brittany has been documenting the endeavor on TikTok, where her videos have racked in millions of views. It has sparked a fierce debate about Botox, with some claiming in the comments section that they prefer the 'natural' side and that it made them not want to get the injectables, while others writing that it has inspired them to go get some. In the end, the nurse practitioner said she hopes people can use her experiment to make 'informed and educated' decisions when it comes to cosmetic enhancements. And she slammed any beliefs that she did this to gain more customers. 'It's frustrating when people comment on these types of posts that I'm just trying to promote something or sell something. 'My goal is to educate and to develop a relationship with each person that I encounter. 'If at the end of that conversation, they feel like an esthetic treatment is in their best interest, then great. 'If that's not the case, that's OK too! The "right" choice, much like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.' She also shared some advice to women who may feel insecure about their decision to get Botox. 'Every woman should have the freedom to take care of themselves in a way that feels best to them without shame or judgment. 'As we grow into our age and beauty remember that there is no one look or set of rules. 'While some of us choose to smooth our lines while others don't, remember that we are all beautiful in our own right and we all deserve to feel seen and supported.'

EXCLUSIVE I got Botox on half my face to show others how it really affects your looks... here are the results
A nurse who got Botox injected on only one side of her face to show others how it really affects your looks has revealed the shocking results. Brittany Krautheim, 41, from Queenstown, Maryland, has spent the last 21 years working as an aesthetic nurse practitioner. And over the course of her two decades in the beauty industry, she has learned a lot of tips and tricks to ensuring your skin stays healthy. Over the last few years, she has become a viral social media star by sharing advice to maintaining a youthful appearance as you age to TikTok and Instagram. She explained during an exclusive chat with the Daily Mail that she's been told time and time again by her patients that she's 'great at explaining medical information in real world terms.' 'So it felt natural to turn my social media platforms into a place where people can get real and honest information,' she explained. 'Many people are hesitant to make a consultation with an aesthetics provider, but most have questions that they are too afraid to ask. 'I wanted to bridge that gap. I wanted my platform to be the place to go for honest real life educational content. No BS.' In recent months, she decided to conduct an experiment in which she received Botox on half her face and documented the outcome online in the hopes of enlightening others about the pros and cons of the injectables. 'I injected the entire left side of my face (upper and lower). Areas included the 11s, forehead, crows feet, downturned smile, and platysmal sheath/bands,' she shared.

I Thought I Wanted an Upper Blepharoplasty—What I Needed Was a Brow Lift
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Nothing gets us more excited than talking about a not-so-little tweakment or a nip-tuck procedure. In the spirit of transparency, Marie Claire's aesthetics column, Life in Plastic, delivers a first-hand peak into what goes on behind the doctor's door. My eyes have always been the defining feature of my face. They're Mediterranean Sea-blue, almond shaped, and always the first thing people comment on when they meet me. They're kind of my claim to fame, if you will. So in the last few years—basically after I turned 30—I felt dismayed to see that they looked more and more hooded. Pretty much everyone on my mom's side of the family has heavy brows and hooded eyes, so I was expecting to follow in her hereditary footsteps, but it was still jarring to see pictures of myself where my eyelids looked increasingly droopy. My immediate thought was that I needed an upper blepharoplasty, a minor plastic surgery wherein excess skin on your eyelids is removed. It's a favorite among celebrities and influencers—2025 was even dubbed 'the year of the upper bleph' by the Beauty Filter Podcast hosts. Then, I ran into Daniel Gould, MD, Ph.D, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, at a beauty event in Los Angeles and asked him if he thought I was a good candidate for an upper bleph. Within five seconds of looking at my face he explained that what I was seeing as excess skin on my eyelids was actually a symptom of a larger issue: my sagging brows. In fact, he said that a temporal brow lift—where the skin around the brows and upper cheek area is pulled slightly back and up from the temples—would help fix my issues. Interestingly, he said that around 90 percent of the patients he sees in his practice think they need an upper bleph when a brow lift is actually what they end up getting. After a proper in-office consultation with Dr. Gould (where I wasn't cornering him at a party), I decided to take my first plunge into the world of plastic surgery. Keep reading to get a full picture of why I concluded that surgery was my best option, along with a play-by-play of the entire brow lift process from consultation to healing. I've never had plastic surgery before, so I came into my consultation with Dr. Gould pretty hot. I also contacted two other surgeons who I trust to give me some extra insights: Laura Devgan, MD, MPH, FACS, a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City, and Jason Diamond, MD, FACS, a double-board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. I chose Dr. Gould to perform my surgery after spending a lot of time looking at his results via Instagram; his technique is particularly subtle, which is exactly what I wanted. My biggest fear around plastic surgery is looking unnatural and, let's face it, slightly ghoulish, but Dr. Gould reassured me that I would still feel like myself post-surgery. So why get a brow lift instead of an upper bleph? 'Many patients assume that heaviness on the upper eyelids means they need a blepharoplasty, when in fact the issue may originate from brow descent,' explains Dr. Devgan. 'The brow and upper eyelid are part of a shared anatomical unit, so when the brow falls with age, it compresses the upper eyelid space, creating hooding. A brow lift repositions the brows to their youthful height, often restoring the upper eyelid platform without removing skin.' Dr. Diamond adds that he advises his patients to put a towel wrap on their hair after taking a shower, and if they like the position of their brows and appearance of their upper eyelids and eyes, the solution for them is often a brow lift. All three surgeons note that they often perform a brow lift in tandem with an upper bleph. 'The brow lift will address the skin of the brow bone and forehead, which then alleviates heaviness from the upper eyelids,' says Dr. Diamond. 'We then go in to remove any excess skin of the upper eyelids with an upper blepharoplasty, as needed. This gives a much more beautiful, aesthetically pleasing result, than trying to achieve too much with solely an upper blepharoplasty.' After chatting with Dr. Gould, I decided not to get an upper bleph as well as the brow lift, mostly because I was slightly nervous to start my plastic surgery journey with two procedures with different healing protocols. I also looked at photos of Dr. Gould's results on women with similar anatomy who had made the same decision not to get the bleph and I loved their results. I instead opted to get CO2 laser treatment around my eyes, which helps tighten and renew the skin. Beyond the aesthetic results a brow lift would give me, the major reason I wanted to get the surgery was to help alleviate the tension headaches I was getting along my left brow. Basically, over the last few years, I've noticed my left brow especially started to ride really high and constantly pull up without me actually thinking about it. This constant tension in my muscle was causing serious fatigue at the end of the day as well as some new wrinkles on top of my brow. Dr. Gould explained what was happening: 'Your brain is sensing that heaviness in the upper eyelid and it's recruiting the forehead muscle, which we call the frontalis, to lift the brow in compensation. This makes the brow look high, but it's an overactive muscle response, not the actual brow position. After surgery, the compensation will relax so the brow may settle into a more natural position." After spending some time going over prep and recovery (which I'll get into next), Dr. Gould and I chatted a lot about the benefits of getting small plastic surgery adjustments while you're younger (I'm 35). Beyond the fact that younger bodies have an easier time healing and less excess skin to maneuver around, Dr. Gould's point of view was that patients want something that looks untouched, which is easier to achieve when you're younger before many of the effects of aging have set in. 'They don't want to get to a point where they have to look back,' he says. 'Techniques have evolved that are more precise, less invasive, and more natural. And it's increasingly often that I see patients who are trying to address this early descent in their 30s. Because people look at your eyes, and if you look sad and tired, people think you're sad and tired, and then they act sad and tired. This is the hidden thing that we really don't stress enough, that the way you look affects people's emotions around you, and that affects you. And when we brighten you up, people around you are brighter, and it changes your entire perception.' In terms of technique and what's actually happening during a brow lift surgery, it depends on the type of brow lift you're getting. Dr. Devgan broke down the four types of brow lifts: Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift, which focuses on lifting the outer brow only (this is what I got); Endoscopic Brow Lift, where small incisions behind the hairline with a camera-assisted elevation (Dr. Gould also used this technique for my surgery); Coronal Brow Lift, which involves a longer incision across the scalp, and effective in severe cases or those with high foreheads; and Pretrichial Brow Lift, where incisions are made along the hairline, and is ideal for patients with high foreheads who don't want further vertical elongation. This is the hidden thing that we really don't stress enough, that the way you look affects people's emotions around you, and that affects you. Dr. Daniel Gould For my surgery, Dr. Gould took a hybrid endoscopic approach. Two small incisions were placed behind the hairline at the temple, addressing lateral brow descent. The procedure involves elevating soft tissue, repositioning deeper structures, and anchoring them using sutures or bone tunneling. A permanent 'horn stitch' is applied to secure the scalp skin to the bone to prevent internal accumulation. Overall, the lateral portion—meaning, the sides of my eyes and brows rather than the top arch—is lifted more than the central portion to rebalance facial tension and address heaviness at the corners of the eyes. Two months before surgery: Starting two months before surgery, my main priority was skincare. 'Healthier skin before surgery means you'll get better laser results, less downtime, and a way stronger barrier to protect the healing tissues,' says Dr. Gould. My specific routine focused on incorporating exosomes via the Plated Intense Serum. Dr. Gould explains that Plated is formulated with exosomes derived from human platelets, which boost natural healing factors and support tissue repair. I also used a prescription compounded tretinoin cream that Dr. Gould formulated; I incorporated it every fifth evening since I have sensitive, rosacea-prone skin and didn't want to trigger a flare-up. On other nights I used Dr. Diamond's Metacine Instafacial Collection Trio of serums and moisturizer. Honestly, my skin has never looked better after this two-month regimen. Two weeks before surgery: I wanted to start with a clean slate ahead of my surgery, so I went to my favorite injector, Grace Jensen, FNP-BC at JECT in Los Angeles to dissolve some old under-eye filler that had migrated a bit. I also made sure to stop taking any of my supplements, including my Seed probiotic, calcium, and B12—basically, anything that could stick around in my body and mess with my blood's ability to clot or interact badly with anesthesia. The two-week mark was also when I stopped drinking any alcohol, switched from Ibuprofen to Tylenol, and made sure to keep my face protected from too much sun (which could cause the CO2 laser to trigger unwanted pigmentation). I also tried to keep my diet as clean and protein-rich as possible ('tried' is the operative word here) to help my body be as prepped as possible for healing. Five days before surgery: In the week before surgery, Dr. Gould recommended that I take the HealFast Pre-Op supplement, which can provide foundational recovery support before your surgery. 'There's lots of good data showing [HealFast] improves healing,' says Dr. Gould. 'It has HMB (beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate) which is a precursor your body uses to make its own growth hormone.' There is also a post-op formula, however it contains biotin, which I'm allergic to, so I skipped it. You'll also need to remove your nail polish before surgery—I had a gel manicure so I made sure to visit my nail tech the week before surgery and swap to a clear, regular polish. A few days before surgery: Two days before surgery, I was advised to shower using antiseptic soap and start taking Colace stool softener to help alleviate any constipation caused by the pain meds I'd be taking. Because I knew I wasn't going to want to wash my hair for a few days (and also because, why not), the day before surgery, my mom and I went to a Japanese head spa where our hair was washed multiple times. That night, I showered with Hibiclens and made sure not to put on any body lotion. Just like with any surgery where you're under general anesthesia, I was advised to stop eating or drinking after 10pm. I took a half of a Xanax to calm any nerves and passed out. The day of my surgery, I wore a button-up PJ shirt that I didn't have to pull over my head and comfy sweats I could pull on. I set up my bed with a wedge pillow to keep me upright and on my back so it would be ready to go when I got home. My mom and I arrived at the surgery center at 6:00am and were greeted by one of the OR nurses. We talked through any leftover recovery questions I had and she gave me a dose of Aprepitant, a medication used to prevent nausea. I also got my first dose of Journavx, a non-opioid pain medication that was recently approved by the FDA, which I would take for the next five days. Dr. Gould then came in to make sure we were on the same page about the process (we were) and mark up my face for reference in the OR. Finally, the IV went in and I was out. About two hours later, I woke up from anesthesia looking like a Q-Tip—I had my head wrapped in gauze and my forehead was covered in surgical tape. Honestly, I felt pretty with it other than some leftover shakes from the anesthesia. I never experienced any acute pain—it felt mostly like an annoying hangover headache. When we got home, my mom was all ready to help me up the stairs, but truthfully I felt totally lucid and not at all wobbly. Still, I will take any excuse for a bed-rot day, so she gave me a dose of my antibiotic, a Percocet, and a stool softener, and we started a Lord of the Rings marathon. Days 1-3 Post-Op: The next morning, I still had the hangover-style headache, but I opted to take Tylenol instead of Percocet. I was excited to see that I didn't have any major swelling and there were no signs of black eyes or ruptured blood vessels in my eyes. We headed back to Dr. Gould's office to remove the gauze wrap and so that I could get the CO2 laser around my eyes. He also injected my forehead and eye area with a lot of Dysport—way more than I typically get. Dr. Gould explained that he uses a neurotoxin at this stage to help the skin and muscles stay super still while they're healing, which helps everything heal more evenly. I also sat under a medical-grade red light therapy panel for about 20 minutes. From there, I went directly to Oxynergy2 for my first of three 60-minute hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions. 'Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a no-brainer,' says Dr. Gould. 'It increases oxygenation of the tissues, reduces swelling, and accelerates recovery.' During these sessions, which I did for three consecutive days after surgery, I sat in a pressurized chamber (it feels like the pressure you experience in an airplane) with a cannula in my nose that delivered super-concentrated doses of 100 percent oxygen. (For reference, the air we breathe naturally is about 21 percent oxygen.) I'm quite sure these sessions were a big reason why I recovered so fast. Over the next few days, my face swelled pretty dramatically as I was healing from the CO2 laser. This is something I was prepared for since that's the reaction I almost always get from ablative lasers (see: my face after getting HALO), but it's still a bit jarring. For me, it takes about three to four days for the swelling to go down and all the MENDS (the brown, sandpaper-like scabs created by the laser) to flake off. During that time, my skincare routine only consisted of Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar, Aquaphor, a ton of Dr. Loretta Universal Glow Mineral SPF 40, and a wide-brimmed hat. Three-days post-op, I went back to Dr. Gould's office to have the small stitches at the back of my head removed. The incisions along my hairline had dissolvable stitches that would come out on their own, and I didn't need to put any kind of ointment on them. I finally felt ready to take a proper shower and wash my hair (even though I had been cleared to do so as soon as the gauze came off), which was kind of a wild experience. The entirety of the top of my head was numb so I had to be careful about the heat and how much I was scrubbing. I also let my hair air-dry for the next few days because I was nervous about heat styling. The hair around the incision sites felt really oily for about a week, which Dr. Gould said is normal since we had just disrupted the hair follicles. After a few washes, massaging my scalp even along the incision points felt like no big deal, and the dissolvable stitches had all fallen out by about the 10-day post-op mark. Day 10+ Post-Op: After 10 days, I started seeing celebrity-loved Brazilian masseuse Shirlei Silva, the owner of Shila Beauty Center in Beverly Hills, for lymphatic drainage massages. She's worked on my body before, so I was excited for her to help get the remaining swelling in my temples, inner eye, and forehead down. 'Surgical instruments can cause micro-damage to tissues and capillaries, which stimulates the immune response, inflammation, and the body's natural recovery mechanisms,' says Silva. 'Post-op lymphatic massage is beneficial as it helps immune cells reach the areas that require recovery, aids in fighting pathogens, and facilitates the removal of inter-tissue fluids from 'pockets' where it can stagnate.' She adds that lymphatic drainage can help prevent fibrosis and scar tissue, reduce edema and swelling, alleviate pain, and improve metabolism and the overall recovery process. 'After surgery, tissues are often inflamed, so my goal is to support the face's natural drainage system, not override it.' I'm a huge proponent of lymphatic drainage massages in general, so I believe this was a key part of my recovery. The most annoying things about this relatively straightforward recovery have been forcing myself to sleep on my back for six weeks (I'm a natural stomach sleeper), feeling overly frozen from the amount of 'tox in my forehead, and the slight tenderness in my temples and forehead. I also only took the Percocet for two days, so I never felt constipated or had trouble coming off it. Overall, I'm shocked at how easy and pain-free this experience has been. I'm extremely lucky that Dr. Gould and his team agreed to waive his fee for this surgery, so I only had to pay for the anesthesiologist's time and the use of the surgery center. Typically, a brow lift surgery plus CO2 laser would be around $16,000, which can fluctuate depending on where you live. It's also imperative that you find a surgeon that you trust—both in terms of their results and the rapport you have. One of the reasons I felt so confident was that I felt deeply supported by not just Dr. Gould, but by his entire staff. If your surgeon is a 'yes man,' saying they'll do whatever you want—run. It's really important that expectations are kept realistic, which applies to any plastic surgery or cosmetic procedure. If cost isn't a factor for you and you're a candidate for a brow lift, I'd say unequivocally it's worth it. The recovery was miniscule and the results were incredible—six weeks in, and I'm absolutely thrilled with how my brow lift turned out. One of the things that resonated the most when making my decision to get a brow lift was when Dr. Devgan said her patients often describe feeling like their 'real face' is revealed again. I can confirm this is the effect I've been noticing post-surgery—I feel 100 percent like myself, just refreshed. It's like my eyes are finally back to their full glory after a few years in shadow. The results are extremely subtle but make a huge difference both in how I see myself and how others see me. I'm also wildly happy to report that my tension headaches are gone—you read that right. Gone. It took about three to four weeks for my muscle to relax after surgery, which Dr. Gould told me would be the case, but then all of a sudden I started noticing that I wasn't so fatigued at the end of the day. This has been a huge game changer in my life—plus, my left eyebrow no longer arches way above the right. At six weeks post-surgery, the only remnants of my surgery are some small lumps under my skin around my temples and hairline, which is just leftover fluid that will soften over the next few months. My scars, which you can't see unless you part my hair at my temples, are still a bit pink but will fade over time. Overall, my brow lift results turned out exactly as I had hoped, if not better.
