Your Facial Surgery Questions
Curious about something?
Suitability comes down to three things: sound general health, clear and realistic goals, and a willingness to follow the preparation and aftercare guidance that protects your result. Dr. Shamoun assesses each of these at consultation before recommending any operation — and will say candidly if surgery is not the right answer for you.
Your first visit is a conversation as much as an examination. Dr. Shamoun explores what you would like to achieve, reviews your medical history and studies your facial structure and skin quality in detail. He then walks you through the surgical — and where relevant, non-surgical — routes available, with honest answers on recovery, risks and realistic outcomes. International patients can begin this process remotely before travelling to Dubai.
It depends on the operation. Lighter procedures such as eyelid surgery or rhinoplasty often allow a return to gentle daily activities within a week or two, while a full facelift asks for a longer convalescence. Visiting patients receive guidance on sensible fit-to-fly timelines, and every patient leaves with a written aftercare plan and scheduled reviews.
Often, yes. Pairing complementary operations — a facelift with eyelid surgery or a brow lift, for instance — can produce a more cohesive rejuvenation and a single recovery period. Whether a combination is wise in your case is a clinical judgement Dr. Shamoun makes with your safety as the deciding factor.
Incisions for facial procedures are short and deliberately hidden — tucked into hairlines, natural creases or the contours of the ear. With careful technique and time, they generally fade to fine lines that are difficult to spot, even at close range.
