Plastic Surgery, through science.
Evidence-based information about plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, written for patients.
I use this space to answer questions that frequently come up during consultations, explain the anatomy and reasoning behind different procedures, and look critically at some of the treatments and trends in aesthetic medicine.
The aim is simple: to help patients understand what a treatment can realistically achieve, what the evidence actually supports, and where its limitations are.
Why Doesn't My Nose Look Straight After Rhinoplasty?
One of the most common concerns after rhinoplasty is that the nose still appears crooked. In most cases, this is part of the normal healing process. Swelling, cartilage, scar tissue, skin remodeling, and the support provided by cartilage grafts all continue to shape the nose for many months after surgery.
Technical Principles for Preserving Mediterranean Identity in Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is not about changing who you are.
For Mediterranean and Middle Eastern patients, the nose is a defining feature of identity. My approach focuses on refining the nose while preserving ethnic character, natural proportions, and facial harmony.
Rhinoplasty Simulations: Planning, Visualization, and Expectations
Rhinoplasty simulations are more than just edited photos, they are powerful tools that guide surgical planning, improve communication, and help patients visualize realistic outcomes. In my Beirut and Dubai practices, simulations are part of every consultation, ensuring clarity and confidence for both surgeon and patient.
