Callum Faris, MD

After two failed revision rhinoplasty rib grafts with a previous surgeon, my nose was completely botched, and I had lost hope of ever looking like myself again. I presented with a significantly short, upturned nose, uneven, exposed nostril's and severe breathing issues. I had reached out to numerous revision rhinoplasty surgeons worldwide, but they all turned me down, believing my case was too complex due to significant skin shrinkage from previous surgeries. From our initial contact, Callum was confident that he could achieve a significantly improved result. Although I was traumatised by my previous experiences, his confidence gave me hope that I could look like myself again. Following our online meeting, I traveled across the world for my fourth rhinoplasty (third revision rib graft). I never imagined he would be able to achieve such remarkable results! When my cast was removed, I cried upon seeing my reflection. For years, I had been living with a nose that did not resemble myself at all. I am only 21 days post-surgery, and I finally look like myself again. Will post pictures but the results are already better than I ever could have imagined. For that, I am so grateful to Callum and his incredible team at Face Institute.

Dr. Faris was a great expert to work with on my deep plane face and neck lift. He carefully considered the issues I wanted addressed, made appropriate recommendations for treatment, explained probable outcomes, and respected my wish to maintain a natural, but refreshed, finished look.
The process from initial consultation to final post-op appointment was clear and his team took great care of me. I’m happy with my result and glad I chose him!

If you are considering a facelift and necklift, Dr. Faris and his team are the best you can choose. From the preliminary discussion to execution and aftercare is excellent. With so much precision the face and necklift is performed. The best investment in yourself!

Zorgvuldig heb ik vooraf uitgezocht bij welke arts ik mijn operatie wilde laten doen. Bij Face Institute ben ik op de juiste plek terechtgekomen. Meerdere gesprekken hebben plaatsgevonden (live en via face-time, omdat ik niet in de buurt woonde). Uitgebreid besproken wat mijn wensen waren en wat mogelijk was. Zo zijn we tot een plan gekomen. In februari 2024 heb ik een deep plane facelift en endoscopische voorhoofdlift ondergaan. Ik wilde absoluut op mezelf blijven lijken en dat is echt ontzettend goed gelukt! Van de meest sceptische mensen kreeg ik nadien reacties als: die arts heeft fantastisch werk geleverd, tot die heeft een lintje verdiend. Ik kan het helemaal met ze eens zijn.
De samenwerking tussen de artsen Faris en Schmidt (en hun team) is zo goed op elkaar afgestemd. Dat gaf een gevoel dat ik in veilige, zorgvuldige handen was.
De operatie is goed verlopen en ook de nazorg en de nacht die ik daarna in de kliniek verbleef waren zeer goed. Dingen werden niet mooier voorgesteld dan dat ze in werkelijkheid waren. Want ja, het is gewoon heftig, maar het herstel is echt goed verlopen. Elke dag ben ik nog blij wanneer ik in de spiegel kijk. Mijn dank is daarom heel groot!

I had a previous rhinoplasty elsewhere (in my country) what is went wrong.I have extremly thin skin , my nose tip was upturned and my cartilages stucked out. I was very disappointed about my result and didnt like look at the mirror...
So I made my search. I knew that my case was very difficult because of my thin skin, so I wanted a really professional doctor who is good at revision rhinoplasty, thats why I chose Dr Faris and I didnt regret it.
First of all he is very kind, he was always available before and after the surgery as well. And it was very important for me. Always answered my questions. And didnt make any false promises. He made my nose exactly what he said and he made his best.
My revision surgery was one year ago , so its already healed. Im very satisfied, happy with the result and I like myself again:)
I am very grateful for him.

A exceptionally positive experience
After turning 67, searching the internet, I discovered "The Face Institute," which specializes in face and neck lifts using the "Deep Plane Face Lift," technique a procedure which lifts both the facial and neck skin and muscle layer. Intrigued, I made an appointment with Dr. Callum Faris, whose calm manner, obvious expert knowledge and clear explanation of the involved procedure immediately put me at ease.
Leading up to the surgery, I felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. Post-surgery, I initially worried about the swelling and stitches, but now the swelling has subsided, I am so pleased with the natural-looking results. People notice how good I look without realizing I have had surgery. The excellent aftercare from Dr. Faris and his team also made the healing process so much easier.
I believe the procedure was more than worth it and would like to encourage others not to delay such decisions. I would recommend ‘The Face Institute’ and Dr. Faris to anyone looking for a reliable clinic to carry out this operation. All in all it has been an exceptionally positive experience!

Mijn ervaring was uitstekend. Na een eerdere revision, ergens anders door een andere dokter uitgevoerd, was ik mijn vertrouwen een beetje kwijt. Maar dokter Faris heeft extreem veel kennis, meet dingen op en is up to date met de nieuwste technieken. Dat is ook al geruststellend. Daarnaast zijn ze professioneel goede voorzorg en hele goede nazorg je bent niet zomaar een nummer. Ik ben zo blij met het resultaat en vooral ook dat dokter Faris me wilde opereren. Ik leid mijn leven nu weer onbezorgd en ben daar heel dankbaar voor. Ik raad Dokter Faris zeker aan.

It has been almost six months since my rhinoplasty by doctor Faris and i am very satisfied with the final result. I felt very comfortable with my doctor and he listens very carefully to your preferences and shows you what he can do. I did not want my nose to change a lot but i did not like the bump on my nose. Doctor Faris made some pictures and told me what te plan was and always asked me if i was oke with it. After the surgery i felt no pain and with the weeks you could see my nose straighten more and more while the swelling subsides. I would recommend doctor Faris and i am very happy with the end result!

Surgery to repair a lower eyelid defect that had formed over an orbital implant and previous fracture.

Dr Faris created a realistic and skilled treatment plan, drawing on an impressive depth and breadth of experience — which he communicated clearly and kindly.

The surgery went smoothly, requiring several specialized techniques (including cathoplasty, palate grafting and tissue lifting). His colleague Dr Schmidt likewise provided excellent care, including postoperative wound management and fat grafting.

The results, process, and aftercare all far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

I had a previous nosejob (NOT by dr Faris) years ago and it was a total mess, I was traumatized and cried every day. I didn't looked like myself anymore. I told the surgeon I wanted to have a natural result but my nose after surgery looked not natural at all. It was extremly small, upturned tip and there was a big 'gap' in the nosebridge.
I had a revision 2 years after (NOT by dr Faris). It was certainly better than before but it still looked not natural at all, still small and piggy-ish.
Couple years after my first revision I had my consultation with dr Faris (and dr Susan Schmidt). I wanted to see if there is anything possible to have a normal looking nose again. Dr Faris and Susan Schmidt were so kind and proffessional. They really took the time for me and were very understanding. He said it was a difficult job because my skin was thight and thin + I needed a rib bonegraft. I was cleary traumatized of my first botched nosejob and they recommend me to so some mental work before surgery. I did EMDR for the trauma and a couple months after I did the surgery. I was so happy with the result. It was better than I expected. Finally I have a normal looking nose. Still not what it was before all the nose surgeries, but it's a normal looking nose. It is now more than 2 years ago that dr Faris (dr S. Schmidt + dr. H Vuyk) changed my life for the better. Anyone who thinks about nose surgery, dr Faris and his team I would definity recommend. Thank you so much!
