WORTH IT$3,000
After contemplating the procedure for many years I finally decided to go ahead and look into getting it done. I had a friend who had a few cosmetic procedures in Beirut and she couldn't tell me enough how good it was over there. I was recommended Dr Charbel Medawar at Advanced Derma Plastics so after a few phone conversations and emails booked my flights and the surgery!
Dr Medawar was fantastic, very professional and friendly really put me at ease and listened to what I want! I know I was being a difficult client as I only wanted a really subtle change and was panicking that my nose would look really scooped out and upturned so I made a big fuss about NOT having it like that, and he was very reassuring and assured me his work is much more subtle and refined!
On arrival at the hospital, very modern and clean with really good facilities, everyone was very kind and helpful - I don't speak Arabic or French which are the main languages over there but most of the nurses/doctors spoke English so didn't have any trouble communicating. I had a GA - which I was concerned about as I had a bad experience with post-op depression previously, but the Anaesthetist was really reassuring and explained she would give me moderate sedation ect so would have minimum after-effects.
I woke up feeling totally fine, not much pain - which was really surprising. After sleeping a little I went back to my hotel with the nasal packing and painkillers!
I had some brusing mainly under one eye and some swelling, but in general my recovery was really good - very little pain and I didn't feel any after effects from the GA!! I travelled back home on the Sunday morning - just under 48 hours after my op, didn't have any problems on the plane, was a little bit swollen probably from the pressure but got up walked around and kept hydrated so felt totally fine!
One week later I saw a Dr at home to remove cast and stitches as my surgery was open, nose looks amazing! Took a little time to adjust to it but the tip looks fantastic - not upturned, and the bridge looks so good! Still a lot of swelling especially at the tip making it look a little bulbous but I know this could just be swelling so will be looking forward to seeing the final result once it is all settled!!
In general I had a really great experience, Dr Medawar was fantastic and the surgery in Beirut was better than I could have imagined. Really happy with the results so far, would highly recommend him to anybody considering travelling abroad.
