I had my corrective rhinoplasty last Monday, on May 12. Fifteen years ago, I had a failed surgery: there was no cartilage or bone left in my nose, and over time, my right septum collapsed. By the beginning of this year, I could no longer breathe without using nasal spray. Since I was missing a nasal bridge, a reputable surgeon in Romania had reconstructed my nose externally using hyaluronic acid — it was a first in Romania at the time. Since then, I had injections every two years to refill the loss.
But in January, an ENT specialist explained that the acid was creating significant pressure that contributed to my breathing problems, and that the veins in my skin were swollen due to the excess filler. He told me I needed surgery to repair the septum so I could breathe again.
That’s how I found out about MaClinic and Dr. Abboud. He told me he would only proceed with the surgery if Dr. Fayad confirmed he could repair the septum. I underwent several tests and had multiple appointments with Dr. Fayad, who explained the cause of the breathing issues and the planned procedure, which included a cartilage implant. Then I saw Dr. Abboud again, who confirmed the operation and explained that he would take cartilage either from the ear or the rib, depending on what was needed. We first had to dissolve the acid a week before the surgery to see what was actually underneath and because it needed to be eliminated anyway. The clinic staff were amazing. I received all the necessary documents by email, in great detail, covering the surgery, pre- and post-operative medications, and instructions to follow. I had as many appointments as needed with Dr. Abboud, which were short but always reassuring.
Having dealt with the healthcare system many times (I’m 46), I know the priority should be on the medical outcome — not minor things like waiting times — especially when working with top surgeons. In my case, the experience and empathy of the surgeons were crucial. I was hospitalized at Delta Hospital under exceptional conditions. I was given a calming pill, taken to a waiting area, and woke up in that same area after surgery. I felt no pain, and I could already breathe on my own. There was nothing inside my nose — just a bandage with a mold on top, and another bandage under my right breast where they had removed cartilage. I did vomit when I tried to eat, but I didn’t feel nauseous. Before surgery, I had a call with the anesthesiologist and explained that I am very sensitive to anesthesia and strong medication. Thanks to this, I felt really well after the procedure.
I was discharged the next morning and saw the doctor the following day. He reassured me that everything had gone well and that I would love my new nose. I told him I could breathe, and he advised me to continue the medication and return in three days. At that next visit, he changed the bandages and showed me the result: he had done an outstanding job.
I now have to see him once a week for a month while keeping small strips on my nose. I had no bruising, just some slight yellowing around the bandages for three days.
Today is Day 9, and this is how I look. I’ll be able to post new photos in a few weeks.
I have no words to describe how smooth this process has been, how much it meant to my mental health, and how reassured I felt having Dr. Abboud and Dr. Fayad by my side. I felt truly cared for.

Now, you can judge the results:
- Photo before: Nose after hyaluronic acid was dissolved – collapsed bridge, deformed septum, breathing difficulties.
- Photo after: Reconstructive rhinoplasty with cartilage graft – restored breathing, natural and redefined nose. Show less »

Je tiens à remercier chaleureusement docteur Marwan Abboud pour son travail d’une grande précision et son professionnalisme exemplaire. Il a réalisé, pour ma mère, une réduction du double menton par liposuccion et lifting, le tout de manière non invasive, sans laisser la moindre cicatrice visible. L’intervention s’est parfaitement déroulée. Il a simplement fallu faire preuve de patience pour observer les effets au fil du temps, mais le résultat, au bout de quelques mois, était net, visible et extrêmement satisfaisant. Un véritable travail d’orfèvre ! Show less »
