Dr. Salim Sébastien AYOUB is a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Lebanon with over 20 years of experience and ISAPS membership, known for natural, subtle results in facial, breast, and body procedures.

Dr. AYOUB performs facial surgery (rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, otoplasty), breast surgery (augmentation, lift, reduction, reconstruction), body surgery (tummy tuck, liposuction, arm and thigh lift), and non-surgical injectables (Botox and dermal fillers).

Dr. AYOUB consults and operates across several locations in Lebanon, including his private clinic in Jounieh, NDS University Hospital in Jbeil, and Saint Joseph University Hospital in Beirut, as well as Elyzee Medical Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Dr. AYOUB is a board-certified plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgeon trained at Saint-Joseph University and Hôtel-Dieu de France Hospital in Beirut, with further training in France. He is a member of ISAPS and LSPRAS and is SCFHS-accredited.

Yes. Dr. AYOUB regularly treats patients traveling from abroad. His team arranges a virtual consultation, travel planning, in-person pre-operative consultation, surgery, and post-operative follow-up during the patient’s stay in Lebanon.

Rhinoplasty cost in Lebanon varies depending on technique, whether breathing correction is included, and the hospital facility used. A precise quote is provided after an in-person or virtual consultation with Dr. AYOUB.

Most patients wear a splint for about a week, return to non-strenuous daily activities within 7-10 days, and see the final result of their rhinoplasty settle over 6 to 12 months as residual swelling resolves.

Blepharoplasty is performed under local or general anesthesia, so patients do not feel pain during surgery. Mild swelling and bruising afterward are normal and typically resolve within 1-2 weeks.

Most patients return to work and normal activities within 7-10 days, once visible swelling and bruising have subsided.

Otoplasty can typically be performed from around age 7, once the ear cartilage has reached near-adult size, through adulthood.

The incision for otoplasty is placed in the natural crease behind the ear, making resulting scars very difficult to see once healed.

Modern silicone breast implants typically last 10-15 years or longer before replacement may be recommended, though this varies by individual and implant type.

Implant size is determined during consultation based on chest measurements, existing breast tissue, skin elasticity, and the patient’s aesthetic goals — Dr. AYOUB guides this decision to ensure a natural, proportionate result.

Yes. Many patients combine a breast lift with implants in a single surgery (augmentation-mastopexy) to address both sagging and lost volume at once.

Coverage depends on the insurer and whether the procedure is deemed medically necessary due to documented back, neck, or shoulder pain. This should be confirmed directly with your insurance provider and Dr. AYOUB’s clinic.

Reconstruction can be performed immediately during the same surgery as the mastectomy, or delayed until after cancer treatment is complete, depending on the patient’s medical situation and preference.

A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdomen, including muscle repair above and below the navel, while a mini tummy tuck treats only the area below the navel with a shorter scar and recovery, for patients with less excess skin.

Most patients need 2-3 weeks away from work and 4-6 weeks before resuming strenuous exercise, with final results visible as swelling resolves over several months.

No. Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure that removes localized, resistant fat deposits — it is best suited for patients already near their goal weight, not as a method of significant weight loss.

Arm lift surgery does leave a scar along the inner or back of the upper arm, which fades significantly over the first year. Dr. AYOUB discusses expected scar placement and healing during consultation.

Botox results typically last 3 to 4 months before muscle activity gradually returns and a repeat treatment is needed to maintain results.

Most dermal fillers used are hyaluronic-acid based, meaning they can be dissolved with an enzyme (hyaluronidase) if a patient wishes to reverse the result.
