Shady Hayek, MD

Dr.Hayek is, in my view, one of the most talented, knowledgeable, kind-hearted and down to earth plastic surgeons you can ever have. I came to him for my secondary rhinoplasty (my first one was done by a seperate doctor) and he delivered my dream nose. After having consulted with an extensive list of surgeons in Lebanon (with a pros/cons list and an open mind), my intuition chose Dr.Hayek.

It was his warmth, hospitality and compassionate disposition that made me feel safe with him for my rhinoplasty. My nose came out as feminine, cute and symmetrical as I had described upon our two consultations (one was at his office, the other was done via Crisalix).

On the day of the operation, Dr.Hayek checked up on me right before the operation and held my hand throughout the aenesthesia process to put my mind at ease.

He kept in touch with me and made sure to check up on me and my progress. He was available 24/7 and never once let me become anxious about any part of the process.

I came out of this experience with my dream nose and a relationship with a brilliant, kind and smart surgeon that I hope more people will recognize. I would recommend him to every friend and family member of mine looking for an ideal result and surgery experience.

Very happy with the results, the doctor was exceptional. The service and the staff were amazing, everyone so friendly and everything went so smoothly. After the surgery Dr. Shady was always checking up on me to make everything was ok. I certainly recommend him!

I have spent the last two years of my life searching for a solution for my body and breast problems. My story started 4 years ago when I had a breast lift with another surgeon with results that looked mediocre. At the same time, I started noticing skin laxity and sagging in my arms, tummy, back and thighs secondary to some weight loss. I visited in the past year alone more that 10 reputable plastic surgeons in Lebanon who had good online and social media reviews but was not convinced by the solutions they have offered. It was in November of 2021 when I visited Dr. Hayek when I started to see a more logical approach and a more caring and genuine surgeon that I felt I can trust. Inside me there was something telling me to do the surgery as soon as possible and was about to book the operating room for the coming week, however, I was able to hold my horses and keep searching for other surgeons in order not to hesitate. I saw more than 3 other surgeons, and they were no different than the others that I saw before. At that time I felt that the best de ision I can make is to go with Dr. Hayek. 4 weeks ago, I underwent full body liposuction and J-plasma plus breast augmentation. I was amazed how little time the surgery took and how I was able to walk, eat and even go home a few hours after the surgery. My recovery was very smooth and, as Dr. Hayek told me before the surgery, my results started to appear after the second week after the surgery. Now I am at the last day of my 4th week a d I feel great. My body not only looks perfectly sculpted, but also tight with no saggy skin in all areas. By breasts are perky, and just the right size. All my scars have healed well and are barely showing. The most important, besides the excellent results, is the amount of care and close followup that he showed. He was available all the time, before and after the surgery, to answer all my concerns and to be inclusive of all possibilities whenever I called him for an inquiry. His good medical judgment and close followup were instrumental in making my experience a smooth and easy one. He is highly recommended and my only plastic surgeon that I can trust.

I've never met a doctor so genuinely caring and attentive with patients like dr. Hayek. After reading the incredible reviews on this site, I decided to do my (second) breast reduction with him in Beirut. We had a virtual consultation first where he explained to me how he would approach my surgery given he's fixing another surgeon's work, detailed all the info I could need, etc.. he's extremely nice and approachable, and knows how to make a patient comfortable. He understood my concerns perfectly. The surgery was super smooth and I'm recovering surprisingly quickly (I was dressed and out on day 3!). It's hard to comment on the results right now as I'm only 7 days post surgery but I have to say I am in awe of dr. Hayek's consistent follow ups. He checks in on me every day and follows up on every single thing I might've mentioned the day before. He's truly incredible. He is always directly reachable and insists i get in touch any time with any concern big or small. I wish all doctors had this level of care and genuine concern towards their patients. I highly highly recommend him.

I had a breast reduction 3 years ago and was extremely disappointed with the results, as my cup size did not change at all (DD). I decided to undergo another reduction last month with a different doctor. The size is much smaller now and the shape looks good.
However, I am dealing with a necrosis that turned into a black hole, then moldy and smelly, and now is a mixture of black and yellow. It is not changing much and it's been 5 weeks now. My doctor said he prefers to let it heal alone and said to keep putting silver sulfadiazine twice a day. I'm worried it will leave a hole in my breast.
I also had hematoma in the other breast that kept bleeding out for 4 weeks non stop and his reaction was to let it bleed out. It's now also forming a little hole that looks like the start of a necrosis.
Will necrosis completely heal on its own? How long does it usually take? Should I get another opinion? Is it normal to have both complications post reduction? The doctor is super nice but not very convincing and his wait and see approach is starting to make me very nervous.
Would love to hear your thoughts.

I recently underwent a breast augmentation with silicone implants, but I was hesitant about the surgery and confused about what to choose, Dr. Shady Hayek guided me to a safe and effective choice.
He is detail oriented, very informative, answers any questions at any time, listened to all my concerns and addressed them perfectly.
He has professional abilities, excellent care and great sense of humour.
The surgery was successful, I had no swelling or infections, my recovery was quick and my results are exactly what I hoped for.
I feel so lucky to have Dr. Hayek as my plastic surgeon.

I had my surgery 5 days ago after years of suffering from gynecomastia.
I met Dr hayek virtually and then at his clinic.
He is amazing! Explained to me about the surgery and the possible complications.
The surgery was a one day surgery.
I left the hospital few hours after it. Dr Hayek and his team were amazing and the surgery was smooth. I only felt mild chest soreness 48 hours after the surgery, relieved by some pain killer. Dr Hayek follows up on me daily by phone. The course is smooth so far, I have to keep the chest garment for 5 more weeeks but I can feel the big change that happened to my chest.
I really advise every man who suffer from this issue to schedule an appointment and have this surgery done.

Dr Shady is a true professional in his field and a gentleman above all. After months of searching for the right doctor, I came across Dr Shady on Realself. Going through his pictures and reading the reviews of former patients, I decided to get in touch. Dr Shady was prompt with his response and took his time in going through all my wishes, expectations and also fears. There was never a time when he was not available to answer any of my queries. His bedside manner is beyond par! At every point in our journey together I felt comfortable, heard, and understood. He always put my wishes first, and advised me what would and what would not work for me. I am so extremely happy with my decision to put my trust in him, and even though the final results are still out, I already look fantastic! Thank you so much Doc and till we meet again.

Today, I’m almost 4 weeks post-op, and everyday, the results get better and better. Along the way, I experienced a few hiccups (some water retention and a slight infection on my incision) but due to our daily virtual checkups, Dr Shady (awesome doctor that he is) was able to nip everythkng in the bud! The swelling has gone down significantly and everything is starting to take shape nicely. I have 2,5 more weeks of wearing the compression garment, and then Im free! I cannot wait..

Beyond perfection. The doctor was great. The service is amazing. The clinic was very clean. The recovery was very smooth. Follow up was fast and easy. Loved how friendly the doctor is and how relaxing he makes you feel before the surgery…

It was an amazing experience, it was fast and Dr.Shadi is super professional! I had Botox and fillers and thread lifts, I advise anyone who wants to enhance their face to go to Dr. Shadi and he will know what suits them and what’s not.

Dr. Hayek is the best! I contacted him a while back; I wanted to do a breast augmentation but I was very nervous about it and I had a lot of questions. He listened to everything I said, answered all my questions, he genuinely cared, and he guided me through everything. The operation and recovery were overall smooth, and he was always there to check up on me whenever I needed anything. The results were exactly what I wished for. He is very talented and trustworthy. I definitely recommend him!
