The first visit is a conversation, not a booking
Plastic surgery in Lebanon starts with a consultation, and nothing is booked under pressure. The visit is a frank conversation about what you want to change, what is realistic, and whether surgery is really the right answer. Some patients are advised against surgery; hearing that is a sign the consultation is honest.
You are examined in person
The examination is done in person, by the surgeon who will operate. A result cannot be predicted from someone else's photograph, so the plan is not drawn from a catalogue: it is made from your own examination and your own photographs. Photographs of other people can be brought as a starting point for conversation, never as a target.
The risks are gone through in full
You are told what the operation will do, what it will not do, the risks in full, and the recovery. The risks of each operation are written out in plain words on its page, because a patient who has read them and still wants to proceed is a patient who will be content afterwards. The timeline for your own operation is gone through before surgery.
The same surgeon, every visit
Dr. Vincent ElKhoury is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and a member of the Lebanese Order of Physicians. Every patient is seen by him at the clinic, and he operates on every case himself. You meet the person who will do the operation before you decide, which is the check set out in how to choose a plastic surgeon in Lebanon.
