What recent patients say
5.0 / 5 · 26 Google reviewsI had my Otoplasty done with Dr. Charbel, and I’d like to share my experience: 1. The procedure was completely painless — I didn’t feel any discomfort at all. 2. He really helped me feel mentally comfortable, explaining everything step by step and answering all my questions with genuine attention. 3. After the surgery, he checked on me almost every day, making sure I was healing well and feeling okay. He honestly made the whole process so easy for me, especially with how closely he followed up during the first week. The results turned out amazing, and I’m truly happy. I had consulted many doctors before, but I never had the courage to go through with it until I met him. I’m thankful I chose him. Thank you so much doctor, for your care and support.
Great facial plastic surgeon in town!
I am from Australia, and I can honestly say that traveling all the way to see Dr Medawar was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I had an absolutely amazing experience with him. He is incredibly professional and takes his time with every single patient. I have never seen anyone devote so much attention to perfecting lip fillers, ensuring every detail is flawless. He explains every step of the process, which immediately makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease. I experienced absolutely no pain at all, which speaks volumes about his skill and gentle approach. Beyond his expertise, Dr Medawar is exceptionally caring and responsive. He gives you his WhatsApp number and answers every question promptly, making you feel valued and supported. He is kind, respectful, and genuinely compassionate. At my follow up appointment, I happened to have cuts on my palm from an incident, and he went out of his way to disinfect and take care of them, even though he absolutely didn’t have to. That act of kindness is something I will never forget. His work is nothing short of outstanding. He is truly gifted at what he does, combining artistry with precision and care. I have already shared his details with all my friends and relatives because I want everyone to have the same incredible experience. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY LIPS! If I could give him 1000 stars out of 5, I absolutely would. Dr Medawar is in a league of his own, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. An AMAZING doctor and human being!

Dr. Medawar's Surgical Approach
Dr. Charbel Medawar approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin rather than on its surface.
Dr. Charbel Medawar approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin rather than on its surface. This philosophy distinguishes the deep plane technique from older methods that simply tightened skin, which often produced a pulled or unnatural appearance.
The foundation of the deep plane facelift lies in the SMAS layer. The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is a continuous sheet of muscle and connective tissue that sits beneath the skin and above the deeper facial structures. Age causes this layer to descend, creating jowls and midface hollowing.

During the first one to two weeks, swelling and bruising are most pronounced. Because the deep plane technique works beneath the SMAS layer, some patients find that swelling resolves in a predictable pattern, though tightness and numbness are normal at this stage.
