Frequently asked questions
Practical answers across consultations, aesthetics, ENT, hearing, and travel planning.
General
What can I expect in the first consultation?
A detailed exam, photos, breathing or hearing assessment when relevant, and a transparent plan with timelines. We take time to understand your concerns and goals.
Travel
How soon can I travel after surgery?
Most rhinoplasty and ENT patients depart after 7–10 days; the team confirms based on your progress. We provide clear guidance on when it is safe to travel home.
General
How do I schedule a consultation with Dr. Laban?
You can schedule a consultation by calling our clinic directly, using the online consultation form on our website, or contacting us via WhatsApp. We offer both in-person and virtual consultations for international patients.
Aesthetic
How long do the results of rhinoplasty last?
Rhinoplasty results are permanent, though your nose will continue to age naturally over time. Most patients can enjoy their results for a lifetime. Final results become fully apparent after 12-18 months when all swelling has resolved.
ENT
Can rhinoplasty improve my breathing?
Yes, functional rhinoplasty (septoplasty) can significantly improve breathing by correcting a deviated septum or other structural issues. Dr. Laban often combines functional and aesthetic improvements in a single procedure when appropriate.
Hearing
How do I know if I need a hearing aid?
Signs include difficulty understanding conversations (especially in noisy environments), frequently asking people to repeat themselves, turning up TV or radio volume, or missing doorbells/phone rings. A comprehensive hearing evaluation can determine if hearing aids would benefit you.
Travel
How long should I plan to stay in Amman for my procedure?
The recommended stay varies by procedure. For surgical procedures like rhinoplasty, plan for 7-10 days to include pre-operative consultation, surgery, and initial follow-up. For non-surgical treatments, 2-3 days is typically sufficient. We provide guidance on timing and can recommend third-party options for travel and accommodation.
General
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Please bring a valid ID, your medical history including current medications, any relevant medical records or previous surgical notes, and a list of questions or concerns you would like to discuss. If you have insurance, bring your insurance card and policy information.
Aesthetic
When can I see the final results of my facial procedure?
While you'll notice immediate changes, final results vary by procedure. Injectable treatments show results within days to 2 weeks. Surgical procedures like rhinoplasty require 12-18 months for complete healing and final results. Swelling gradually subsides during this time.
ENT
What is the recovery time for sinus surgery?
Most patients can return to work within 5-7 days after sinus surgery. Full recovery takes about 2-3 weeks. You may experience nasal congestion and drainage during the healing process. Dr. Laban will provide detailed post-operative care instructions.
Hearing
Will my hearing aids be noticeable?
Modern hearing aids are discreet and come in various styles, from completely invisible (worn deep in the ear canal) to small behind-the-ear models. Dr. Laban will recommend options based on your hearing needs and cosmetic preferences.
General
Do you offer virtual consultations?
Yes. Submit photos and details online to receive guidance and provisional recommendations before you arrive. We also offer virtual follow-up appointments for international patients.
Travel
Do you provide assistance with travel arrangements?
Travel, accommodation, and transport are managed by third-party providers—we do not book flights, hotels, or ground transportation ourselves. We can recommend trusted options and provide guidance on areas to stay and how to plan your visit; you (or a travel partner) arrange the actual bookings.
General
Does Dr. Laban accept insurance?
We accept several major insurance providers for medically necessary procedures. Cosmetic procedures are typically not covered by insurance. Please contact our office with your insurance information, and we can verify your coverage and provide detailed cost estimates.
Aesthetic
Will there be visible scarring?
Dr. Laban uses advanced surgical techniques to minimize scarring. For rhinoplasty, incisions are typically hidden inside the nose (closed technique) or in natural creases (open technique). Scars fade significantly over time and are usually imperceptible after full healing.
ENT
Will I be awake during the procedure?
Most ENT and facial procedures are performed under general anesthesia for your comfort and safety. Some minor procedures may use local anesthesia with sedation. Dr. Laban will discuss the best anesthesia option for your specific procedure during consultation.
Hearing
Can I trial hearing aids before committing?
Yes. We fit and fine-tune devices, then schedule follow-ups to adjust based on your comfort and daily use.
Travel
Can I have virtual follow-up appointments?
Yes, we offer virtual follow-up consultations for international patients. We'll arrange in-person follow-ups during your stay in Amman, and subsequent check-ins can be conducted via video call. We also coordinate with local physicians in your area if needed.
General
What are the payment options available?
We accept cash, credit cards, bank transfers, and offer payment plans for qualifying procedures. Our team can discuss financing options during your consultation to help make your desired treatment more accessible.
Aesthetic
How long do Botox and filler results last?
Botox typically lasts 3-4 months, while dermal fillers can last 6-18 months depending on the type of filler and treatment area. Results vary by individual metabolism and lifestyle factors. Regular maintenance treatments help maintain optimal results.
ENT
Are breathing surgeries covered by insurance?
Functional procedures like septoplasty or FESS may be eligible. We provide documentation and operative reports for your insurer.
Travel
Can I receive post-op care after returning home?
Yes. We offer remote follow-ups and will coordinate with you on timing before you travel back.
General
How long will the consultation take?
Initial consultations typically last 45-60 minutes. This allows adequate time for Dr. Laban to understand your concerns, perform an examination, discuss treatment options, and answer all your questions thoroughly.
Aesthetic
What level of pain and downtime should I expect?
Most non-surgical treatments have minimal downtime. Surgical downtime depends on the procedure—rhinoplasty patients usually plan 7–10 days before travel.
General
How do I book and what is the cancellation policy?
Book via phone, WhatsApp, or the online consultation form. If you need to reschedule, please notify the team at least 24 hours in advance.
