Frequently Asked Questions

Any surgical procedure carries risks — such as bleeding, infection and complications of anaesthesia — and no doctor can guarantee a result or rule out risk entirely. What genuinely reduces risk is a specialist surgeon, a complete health assessment before surgery, and following pre- and post-operative instructions.

A suitable candidate is generally in good health, a non-smoker or willing to stop smoking temporarily, and has realistic expectations. The final decision is made after a clinical examination — and we may sometimes advise against surgery if it is not right for you.

The first consultation is dedicated to a medical assessment of your case and a discussion of your goals, followed by identifying the most suitable surgical or non-surgical option for you, if there is one. You can book your appointment by phone, via WhatsApp or through the contact form on the website.

The minimum age varies by procedure: rhinoplasty, for example, usually requires growth to be complete (around 18), while some ear procedures may be performed at a younger age following the doctor's assessment. There is no upper age limit as long as general health is good, and the doctor assesses each case individually.

In many cases two or more procedures can be combined in a single anaesthesia session, which may shorten the overall recovery period. The doctor decides whether this is possible based on your health and the nature and length of the procedures requested.

Yes, directly: smoking reduces blood flow, slows wound healing and raises the likelihood of complications in some procedures, especially facelifts and breast surgery. You will usually be asked to stop smoking for several weeks before and after surgery, and the doctor will set the right period for your case.

The cost differs from one procedure to another and depends on the details of each case, so we do not advertise fixed prices — the cost is determined after the examination at your consultation. To learn about the factors that affect cost, read the article on plastic surgery prices in Jordan on our blog.

Most insurance plans in Jordan do not cover elective cosmetic procedures. Possible exceptions include reconstructive surgery after accidents or illness, some breast reductions for medical reasons, and eyelid surgery when it affects vision — ultimately this depends on your insurer's terms.

Yes, we welcome patients from the Gulf and other countries, with the option of an initial assessment via WhatsApp before travelling and full coordination of the visit. See our Contact Us page.

It depends on the procedure: non-surgical treatments such as Botox involve little noticeable downtime, while major operations such as a tummy tuck need weeks before a full return to activity. You will find a detailed recovery timeline on each procedure page and in our blog articles.

Some results are long-lasting (such as rhinoplasty and tummy tuck), some are affected by age, weight and lifestyle (such as facelift and liposuction), and some are temporary by nature (such as Botox and fillers). We explain the expected longevity of each procedure at your consultation.

Yes — we show before and after photos of real cases whose owners agreed to share them, and this is done during the consultation at the centre to protect patient privacy.

The operation is performed under general anaesthesia. Afterwards the patient may feel pressure and swelling for a few days, and the discomfort can be managed with pain medication prescribed by the doctor. The degree of discomfort varies from person to person, and the doctor explains what to expect at the consultation.

In the closed approach all incisions are inside the nose, so there is no external mark, but the surgeon's view of the internal structures is limited. The open approach adds a small incision on the strip between the nostrils, giving the surgeon a clearer view and more room for adjustment; this incision usually fades and becomes hard to notice once healing is complete. The doctor chooses the most suitable approach for each case.

The splint is usually removed after about a week, and most patients return to desk work within 7 to 10 days. Mild swelling lasts for weeks but is usually not noticeable to others, and the final shape emerges gradually over 6 to 12 months as the nasal tissues settle.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure and, like any surgery, carries risks such as infection or skin surface irregularity. These risks are lower when it is performed by a specialist plastic surgeon in an accredited medical facility after a complete health assessment. The doctor discusses the possible risks with you clearly during the consultation.

The fat cells that were removed do not come back, but the remaining cells in other areas of the body can enlarge with weight gain. To maintain the result, a healthy diet and regular physical activity are recommended.

Most areas of the body can be treated: abdomen and waist, buttocks and hips, thighs, arms, back, neck and under the chin, and knees. The doctor determines the suitable areas for your case during the consultation.

A surgical facelift works on the deep layers of skin and tissue, giving more comprehensive and longer-lasting results. Non-surgical options such as threads and some energy-based treatments offer a lighter improvement for a shorter period and suit milder cases. The doctor assesses the right option according to the degree of sagging and your expectations.

Surgical facelift results usually last for many years, but the face continues to age naturally. Factors that affect how long the result lasts include skin quality, lifestyle, sun exposure and hormonal changes.

Dr. Ahmad Dawood aims for natural results in harmony with the facial features. Modern facelift techniques work on the deep layers rather than the skin alone, aiming for a refreshed rather than an artificial look. At the consultation the doctor discusses what you can realistically expect in your case.
