The clinic welcomes patients from Morocco and abroad (video consultation, concierge service, airport transfers). ### Face aesthetic surgery ### Oval & neck contouring Oval and Neck Contouring is a set of surgical techniques and artistic analysis aiming to achieve a natural, long-lasting result. This surgery is offered by Dr. Fahd Benslimane, a plastic surgeon and expert in neuro-aesthetics, for rejuvenation of the lower face and neck. It is considered more advanced than the cervico-facial facelift or the Deep-Plane Lift. The goal is to treat the 'head-to-neck' transition to restore a clean mandibular line, address double chins or sagging necks, and achieve an attractive result even with the head tilted down. Each anatomical structure of the lower face is examined and treated to obtain a natural, long-term rejuvenation. The procedure is performed through discreet incisions under the chin and around the ears. After work on muscles, fat and submaxillary glands, the A-NET technique redistributes the skin by "redraping" it between the neck and the lower third of the face. The skin is not cut away but evenly reallocated on treated areas, avoiding the "over-pulled" or artificial look sometimes seen after facelifts. ### Post-operative care to anticipate: - Hospitalization 1 to 2 nights - A dressing to keep during the first 72 hours - Suture removal after 3 days, then at 1 week post-op - Swelling, bruising, numbness, pulling sensations for 2 to 4 weeks - Work stoppage for 10 days ### Face rejuvenation (lipofilling / fat micro-grafting) Rejuvenating a face requires reworking its volumes to restore a youthful appearance. Fat micro-grafting (MGG), or lipofilling, is one of the specialties developed, protocolized and taught internationally by Dr. Fahd Benslimane. His full mastery of lipofilling ensures great finesse and durable results. For this procedure, Dr. Fahd Benslimane compares the patient's face to photos of their younger face. MGG is recommended to soften wrinkles, fill areas thinned by aging, or improve overall facial harmony. It can be combined with face & neck contouring or a facelift. The procedure consists of injecting refined autologous fat into the treated area. These cells restore volume and improve skin quality (regenerative effect), often producing a "radiance" effect. Results are permanent, unlike dermal fillers. The procedure is performed in the operating room under local anesthesia with sedation. Same-day discharge. Minimally invasive procedure, no facial sutures or scars. ### Post-operative care: - Bruising and swelling for ~15 days - Final result to be assessed from 3 months ### Mini-face & neck lift A mini facelift of the face and neck is a lighter technique than contouring that provides medium-term results. Excess skin of the lower face is removed to redefine the oval, wrinkles are softened and nasolabial folds are treated to produce a naturally youthful appearance. Ideal for early signs of aging, when a deep intervention is not yet necessary. The earlier the indication, the more harmonious the result. Signs to look for: - Neck skin and lower face less toned - Loss of volume in certain areas - Deepening of wrinkles on the face and neck - Marked nasogenian folds and marionette lines At Face & Body Clinic, this procedure is performed without general anesthesia. It can be combined with eyelid surgery and/or lipofilling, or with injections (hyaluronic acid, botox) as needed. Minimally invasive procedure, no visible facial sutures, performed under local anesthesia in the operating room. ### Post-operative care: - Swelling, bruising, numbness, pulling sensations ~15 days - Final result around 3 months ### Double chin (neck liposuction) Neck and double chin liposuction removes localized excess fat at the chin and lower face, producing a lasting rejuvenating effect. Procedure performed under local anesthesia, same-day discharge. ### Genioplasty (chin surgery) Chin surgery (genioplasty) improves/corrects the position of the chin (advance/recede) to enhance facial shape and balance proportions. It is intended for patients with a chin that is too small, too large or retrusive. Dr. Benslimane does not use implants (risk of complications) and favors fat micro-grafting for a natural, tailor-made projection (autologous tissue, no foreign body). Minimally invasive procedure, no visible facial sutures, performed under local anesthesia in the operating room. ### Post-operative care: - Swelling and bruising ~15 days - Final result from 6 weeks ### Buccal fat pads (bichectomy) Bichectomy (resection of the buccal fat pads) sculpts the lower face by hollowing the cheeks and defining the cheekbones. The volume of buccal fat pads varies between individuals and is not influenced by diet or exercise. Partial reduction (not total removal) refines the cheeks to soften a round face and improve facial contour. ### Post-operative care: - Ice on the cheeks (72h) to reduce swelling - Swelling ~7 days - Soft/mixed diet for first 3 days - Mouthwash for 15 days - Simple analgesics for mild pain - Result visible around 30 days ### Find answers to all your questions about face & neck surgeries #### Who is oval & neck contouring for? Oval and Neck Contouring or Deep Plane Facelift is recommended for younger patients with a thick neck and a double chin and with a poorly defined transition to the face, due to their anatomy. Also for patients who have noticed loosening around the neck, jowls and under the chin due to weight loss or aging that has weakened and elongated their muscles, compromising a nice angle between the face and the neck. #### What are the advantages and benefits of face & neck contouring? One of the main advantages of face & neck contouring is the natural appearance of the result because it respects the inherent beauty and characteristics of the face and avoids a "pulled" look. Because it focuses on every structure of the face and neck, not only the skin, this intervention is ideal for patients seeking a long-lasting outcome. #### Can a mini-face lift be done without surgery? Aesthetic medicine treatments with hyaluronic acid and botox can provide very satisfactory results, but in some cases the surgical alternative with a facelift is essential. #### How many years can a lift rejuvenate you? A cervico-facial facelift can make you look 5 to 10 years younger with a natural result. The intervention does not stop aging, but it revitalizes the face and gives a fresher appearance. #### What is neck and double chin liposuction? Neck and double chin liposuction helps better define the facial oval and prevents aging of the lower face by suctioning excess fat. Early neck liposuction prevents skin distension of the neck and the appearance of a double chin caused by excess skin. ### Post-operative care: - Bruising lasting 7 days post-op - Return to activities after 2 days post-op - Final result 4 to 6 weeks #### How is chin aesthetic surgery performed in Casablanca? To define the operative strategy for the chin adapted to the patient, Dr. Fahd Benslimane will analyze the face, dental occlusion, chin, maxilla and nose. #### What is a retrusive (receding) chin? A retrusive chin is positioned backward compared to the rest of the face. This condition can be treated with hyaluronic acid injections or genioplasty. #### What is double chin liposuction? Double chin liposuction permanently removes the fat located at the chin which creates the double chin. It is performed under local anesthesia with sedation and has minimally painful post-operative care. #### What are the objectives of bichectomy? - Reduce cheek volume while redefining contours - Treat "full cheeks" and refine the face #### How is buccal fat pad reduction performed? The ambulatory procedure is performed in the operating room under local anesthesia with sedation. Discharge the same day. Dr. Fahd Benslimane makes a discreet 1 cm incision inside the mouth, just above the upper molars in the inner cheek mucosa, away from the masticatory muscles and facial nerve. Excess fat is removed, necessary fat pads are left in place, and incisions are closed with absorbable sutures. #### What are the advantages of buccal fat pad reduction? - Invisible scars (inside the mouth) - More defined facial contour - Permanent results even in case of weight gain - Simple and low-pain post-operative course - Return to activities after 3 days #### Who is buccal fat pad reduction for? Ideal to reduce facial roundness and obtain a slimmer, sculpted lower third. If your cheeks are broad due to an hypertrophied masseter, removing buccal fat may not be optimal; masseter botox can be considered. #### At what age can bichectomy be performed? From 18 years old. ### Ultrasonic rhinoplasty A gentle surgery performed with a piezotome (ultrasound) that preserves bone and cartilage as much as possible. Complete/precise remodeling for a very natural result. ### Post-operative care: - Simpler recovery than classic rhinoplasty - Swelling/bruising/mild pain 7–10 days - Nasal cleansing + ointment - Result noticeable at 1–3 months, final ~6 months ### Septoplasty Repairs a deviated nasal septum to relieve breathing difficulties. Can be combined with rhinoplasty (mucosal micro-incision) after ENT treatment failure. ### Post-operative care: - Mild pain / possible tearing - Swelling/bruising ~10 days - Splint removal at day +7 - Improved ventilation from the 2nd week ### Secondary rhinoplasty Corrects undesirable results or complications from a primary rhinoplasty. - Aesthetic: drooping tip, persistent dorsal hump, irregularities, wide tip… - Functional: nasal valve collapse, pathological scarring, septal deviation… More delicate (fibrosis). Consider 12–18 months after the first surgery. Final evaluation at 12–18 months; sometimes touch-ups with non-surgical rhinoplasty (hyaluronic acid). ### Lipofilling / fat micro-grafting Fat harvested then reinjected to correct a hollow or soften a bump — specific indications. ### Post-operative care: - Swelling/bruising/mild pain 8–10 days - No glasses for 10 days - Result ~3 weeks; final ~3 months ### Find answers to all your questions about nose surgeries #### Why have ultrasonic rhinoplasty in Casablanca? Simply because the piezotome allows better control of the surgical gesture, producing a more precise result than the osteotome, the manual instrument used in classic rhinoplasty. The ultra-precision of bone cutting also allows faster postoperative healing. #### What is ultrasonic rhinoplasty? Instead of an osteotome, ultrasonic rhinoplasty uses a piezotome to reshape, cut, rasp and refine the bony structure of the nose while preserving cartilage, vessels, muscles and skin. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty yields more precise results than classic techniques thanks to the improved control the piezotome offers. #### Who is ultrasonic rhinoplasty for? For patients who wish to: - Improve the shape of their nose with high precision - Smooth bony irregularities on the dorsum - Remove a dorsal hump - Remodel the nasal pyramid - Correct septal deviation #### How is ultrasonic rhinoplasty performed? - Stop smoking 15 days before and after surgery - ENT assessment + blood tests required - Local anesthesia with sedation Ultrasonic rhinoplasty treats wide noses, deviated noses, and reduces projection/length while reducing trauma, surgical bleeding, bruising, swelling and pain. The piezotome acts precisely on bone and cartilage and eliminates the risk of uncontrolled fractures of the nasal pyramid or injury to soft tissues. #### What are the advantages of ultrasonic rhinoplasty? - Refine and reshape the nose without traumatic bone fractures and with greater precision - Less painful recovery than classic rhinoplasty - Faster healing, quicker resolution of bruising and swelling #### CLASsic rhinoplasty or ultrasonic rhinoplasty? The piezotome (ultrasound device) causes less trauma to bone and cartilage. Traditional instruments (hammer, chisels) cause greater tissue trauma and increase the risk of accidental fractures, swelling and bruising. #### What is the recovery time after ultrasonic rhinoplasty? - Bruising for ~7 days - Bruising usually resolved by ~2 weeks #### What are the objectives of functional nose surgery? - Correct septal deviation - Balance airflow through the nostrils - Improve breathing The outcome depends on the severity of septal deformity. #### Who is functional nose surgery for? Patients suffering from functional airway obstruction. For example: - Nasal congestion / blocked nose, difficulty breathing - Perforated septum, nasal crusting - Mouth breathing at night, dry mouth - Reduced sense of smell If you answer “yes” to any of these, consult Face & Body Clinic (Dr. Fahd Benslimane) for a tailored solution. #### How is septoplasty performed? - Complete ENT assessment - Straightening of the septal cartilage (curved, deviated, arched or twisted) - Turbinate reduction (turbinoplasty) if inferior turbinate hypertrophy is present - Removal of nasal polyps if present In advanced cases, surgery of the external nasal structure may also be necessary (straightening, enlargement, reinforcement of airways) to create a free airway between the nostril and the throat. #### Can septoplasty treat snoring? Sometimes yes if snoring is due to septal deviation, but it is not primarily a snoring surgery. ENT specialists are often better placed to manage snoring issues. #### How to sleep after septoplasty? - Keep head elevated to help swelling resorb - Removal of nasal packs according to protocol #### How to perform nasal cleansing after septoplasty? 3 to 4 nasal rinses per day with saline solution are recommended for each nostril (a specialized nurse will show you the technique). #### How to blow your nose after septoplasty? - Do not blow your nose for 21 days - Prefer saline rinses #### What are the goals of secondary rhinoplasty in Morocco? Revision is more complex: bone and cartilage are reworked to reinforce or replace weakened, deformed or missing structures. Objectives: - Rebalance the nasal bony structure - Refresh and rejuvenate the face - Improve breathing (septoplasty, cartilage grafts) - Restore facial symmetry - Nasal obstruction relief / treat nasal valve collapse - Correct a drooping/rounded/bulbous tip or a twisted nose - Enhance nasal and facial aesthetics #### Who is secondary rhinoplasty for in Morocco? Patients dissatisfied with their first rhinoplasty (esthetic or functional) who wish to improve the result. #### Does secondary rhinoplasty require a cartilage graft? Possible sources: - Septal cartilage - Auricular (ear) cartilage - Costal (rib) cartilage In revision surgery, cartilage grafting is almost systematic, even to refine the nose (internal grafts). #### When to perform the second operation? - Aesthetic dissatisfaction after the primary operation - Persistence of defects - Breathing discomfort - 12–18 months after the first rhinoplasty #### How to achieve a more beautiful nose? Identify what bothers you (hump, length, etc.), then book an appointment at Face & Body Clinic (Dr. Fahd Benslimane) for a personalized treatment plan. #### How is rhinoplasty by fat micro-grafting (lipofilling) performed? Autologous fat harvested (abdomen/thighs) by liposuction, centrifuged and reinjected using fine cannulas adapted to facial tissues. Autologous fat provides structure and symmetry by correcting depressions for a harmonious, even result. ### Eye rejuvenation & enhancement Before making a diagnosis and treatment plan, the eye assessment is based on the "artistic beauty concepts" developed by Dr. Fahd Benslimane during the in-person consultation at Face & Body Clinic. Dr. Fahd Benslimane, a plastic surgeon and neuro-aesthetics expert, works from the patient's younger photos to obtain the most authentic result consistent with the patient's eye character and personality. In his approach to eye enhancement and rejuvenation, he adopts a holistic strategy: rather than treating bags, dark circles or droopy eyelids with isolated surgeries, he performs global surgery to correct everything that truly improves appearance. This technique, invented by Dr. Fahd Benslimane and endorsed by the international scientific community, is called "The Spring Roll Technique." It provides durable eye rejuvenation and enhancement. The goal is to restore light to the eyes by focusing on shadow areas: improved light reflection makes the eyes brighter, younger and more rested. ### Post-operative care: - Swelling and bruising for ~8 days - Makeup prohibited for the first 3 days - Avoid high temperatures for the first 10 days - First result at 3 weeks – final at 3 months ### Eyelids 1 — Blepharoplasty: Eyelid cosmetic surgery (blepharoplasty) allows lifting of upper and/or lower eyelids. Under local anesthesia with sedation, skin laxity is treated and fat pockets are removed. 2 — Dark circles: Dark circles are not only linked to lack of sleep. They can be caused by: - Facial aging and volume loss - Aging of the lower eyelid skin - Swelling of lower eyelid fat - Pigmentation changes / poor circulation - High pigment presence (genetic) - Fluid retention Tear trough lipofilling fills hollows with autologous fat micro-grafting. 3 — Bags: Lower blepharoplasty rejuvenates the eye contour, treats swelling and excess skin. ### Post-operative care: - Eyelid tightness ~72 h - Swelling/bruising ~8 days - Makeup prohibited 3 days - Pinkish scars ~15 days - Final result ~1 month 4 — Ptosis: Drooping of the upper eyelids corrected by surgery on the levator muscle (local anesthesia + sedation, micro-incisions under the fold). ### Post-operative care: - Tightness ~48 h - Swelling, bruising, tearing ~5 days - Return to activities ~8 days - Final result 3–6 months ### Brow lift Objective: elevate the tail of the brow at the brow ridge. ### Post-operative care: - Swelling/bruising 8–10 days - Same-day discharge - Suture removal ~3 days - No sports ~3 weeks - Final result ~2 months ### Exophthalmos Protrusion of one or both eyes, often linked to Graves' disease. Surgical treatment through combined micro-invasive solutions. ### Post-operative care: - Same-day discharge - Cold compresses 8–10 days - Result ~3 months ### Canthoplasty 1 — Canthoplasty ("cat eye"): achieve almond-shaped eyes. ### Post-operative care: - Bruising/swelling ~15 days - Mild pain (analgesics) - Blurred vision for a few days - Dissolving sutures ~1 week - No contact lenses 30 days - Final result ~3 months 2 — Canthopexy (foxy eyes): lifts the lateral third of the brow (often combined with blepharoplasty) to open/rejuvenate the eyes. ### Post-operative care: - Swelling and bruising - First results ~3 weeks – final ~3 months ### Entropion Lower eyelid turning inward (lashes rubbing the eye). Causes: lax tendon, hypertrophic/spasmodic orbicularis, internal scar. ### Post-operative care: - Same-day discharge - Tightness ~72 h - Swelling/bruising 8–10 days - Suture removal ~5 days - No sports ~15 days - Final result ~1 month ### Find answers to all your questions about eye surgeries #### How is an eye enhancement surgery with the Spring Roll Technique performed? Starting from the importance and prominence of the eyes in facial appearance, Dr. Benslimane increases reflective areas by creating a convex roll on the upper eyelid resembling a spring roll, hence the name "Spring Roll Technique." This procedure also includes wrinkle reduction and treatment of skin and/or muscle laxity of the eyelids. It is an all-in-one eye enhancement and refreshment procedure. #### Are there visible scars after this procedure? The micro-incisions made by Dr. Fahd Benslimane are discreetly hidden in natural skin folds. Scars heal quickly and fade over the first postoperative weeks. #### What is the suitable age for eye enhancement? There is no specific age limit to benefit from the Spring Roll Technique. Some patients have an eyes that appear tired even at a young age and can be treated from 18 years old; others experience changes due to aging. #### Are there non-surgical options to rejuvenate or enhance the eyes? Combined hyaluronic acid and botox treatments deliver excellent medium-term results. However, surgery is the only solution for definitive, long-lasting outcomes in some cases. #### How is upper eyelid surgery performed? Upper eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat pockets to rejuvenate the eyes naturally. #### What is the suitable age for upper blepharoplasty? Very young patients with eyelid bags may be treated from 18 years. For droopy eyelids, the typical age range at Face & Body Clinic is 40–45 years. #### Who are candidates for tear trough lipofilling? People with hollow or discolored tear troughs are good candidates for fat micro-grafting or lipofilling, provided they are in good health and preferably non-smokers. #### Is tear trough lipofilling safe? Tear trough lipofilling is known to be very safe. Harvested fat is centrifuged and reinjected without foreign material. Micro-incisions heal quickly with no visible scar. #### How long does lipofilling last on the face? Results are permanent unless significant weight loss occurs. Multiple sessions may be offered to optimize the result. #### What is the recovery time after tear trough lipofilling? Recovery varies; most patients resume activities after about one week. Face & Body Clinic also offers non-surgical options (hyaluronic acid) and peels for pigmented dark circles. #### Who is a candidate for lower eye bag treatment? Do you have: - A tired-looking gaze? - Excess skin on lower eyelids? - Bags under the eyes? - Dark circles? If yes, you are welcome at Face & Body Clinic with Dr. Fahd Benslimane, plastic surgeon and neuro-aesthetics expert. #### What is the operative technique to remove lower eye bags? Micro-incisions 1–2 mm under the lashes. If no excess skin, a transconjunctival blepharoplasty (no external scar) is performed. If needed, a small excess of skin can be removed via a sub-ciliary incision. #### How to treat lower eye bags that make you look tired? Fat from the pocket is removed by laser from inside the eyelid, leaving no external scar. Upper and lower blepharoplasties can be performed at the same time. #### How to treat dark circles? Two cases: - Fat pocket/swelling: lower blepharoplasty - Pigmentation change: peels to improve coloration #### Are there visible scars after blepharoplasty? Generally none. Incisions are in natural creases and the line becomes invisible over time. #### Are the results of lower eye bag treatment permanent? Skin will continue to age, but removed fat does not return. Results of a successful blepharoplasty can last up to 20 years. #### What is ptosis? Drooping of the upper eyelid due to a neuro-muscular defect. Surgical correction repairs the affected muscles (distinct from Claude Bernard-Horner syndrome). #### What are the objectives of ptosis treatment? Eliminate the tired appearance of the eyes. #### Who is ptosis treatment for? Patients with a tired-looking gaze and a positive drop test (muscle laxity), unilateral or bilateral. #### What is the operative technique for ptosis? Micro-incisions hidden in the lid crease. Often combined with global eye rejuvenation for a natural refreshed look. #### What are the scars after ptosis treatment? Pinkish during the first weeks; makeup usually allowed from week 2 with medical clearance. #### How to lift the eyelids? Depending on the case: upper blepharoplasty, frontal lift, temporal lift, botox injections… combined with ptosis treatment if necessary. #### How to lift the brows? Brow lift, frontal lift, temporal lift or botox (aesthetic medicine). #### How is a brow lift performed? Micro-incision hidden in the hair above the temple; ambulatory procedure under local anesthesia; may be combined with upper blepharoplasty. #### What is the difference between a brow lift and a frontal lift? Brow lift: corrects drooping of the lateral part of the brow via a micro-incision at the hairline above the temples. Frontal lift: treats the entire upper face (glabellar lines/crow's feet) and repositions the brows. #### Can a brow lift be done without surgery? Botox can modify brow position as a preview of results. Thread lifts are not recommended. Dr. Benslimane favors recent, effective and safe techniques. #### Should i choose surgery or injections? Both are possible. The choice depends on desired duration of effect and clinical exam (morphology, age, goals). Surgery provides more durable effects; injections require repeat sessions. #### What medical exams before orbital decompression? - CT scan and/or MRI - Complete preoperative ophthalmologic exam #### What are the objectives of canthoplasty? Modify the eye shape toward an almond; often combined with blepharoplasty for overall remodeling. #### How is canthoplasty performed? Incision in the upper eyelid fold to access tissues; the lateral canthal tendon is repositioned and sutured to achieve the almond shape. #### Who is canthoplasty for? Patients dissatisfied with the shape of their eyes who are in good health. #### How is canthopexy performed? The outer part of the lower eyelid is lifted with sutures ("fox eye" effect). To remain natural, it is often combined with a brow lift. It also addresses lid laxity and softens crow's feet / forehead lines. #### How is entropion surgery performed? Incision under the lower lash line to tighten and reposition the tendon; possible weakening of an hypertrophic orbicularis. Ambulatory procedure under local anesthesia + sedation, same-day discharge. ### Otoplasty Repositions the auricles, corrects symmetry and their position relative to the head (children from 7 years old and adults). Purely cosmetic (does not affect hearing). Treats hypertrophy, protrusion, anatomical divergences; one or both ears. ### Post-operative care: - Discharge the same day - Tightness/warm sensation ~48 h - Swelling/pain (analgesics) ~6 days - Compression band for ~8 days - Avoid getting wet for 8 days (dry shampoo possible) - Final result ~1 month ### Find answers to all your questions about ear surgery #### How is an otoplasty performed? Please wash your hair and scalp the day before the operation. The ambulatory operation is performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Dr. Fahd Benslimane, plastic surgeon and neuro-aesthetics expert, makes micro-incisions behind the ears in the retro-auricular fold to correct cartilage positioning defects. He then reshapes the ear, tightens the skin and sutures with absorbable stitches. Finally, a dressing is placed around the head, over the ears, to be kept for 24 hours. After 1 month, the ears are set back in place, offering a natural result with invisible scars hidden in the ear folds. ### Lipofilling of the lips (fat grafting) Lipofilling of the lips: definitive and natural volume using autologous fat. Also improves skin quality (stem cells). ### Post-operative care: - Mild discomfort - Bruising/swelling 8–10 days ### Lip Lift The Lip Lift shortens the nose–upper lip distance (small strip under the nose), rejuvenates the perioral area; discreet scar under the nostrils. ### Post-operative care: - Outpatient, discharge the same day - Swelling/bruising 8–10 days - Stitches removed at D+5 - Final result ~3 months ### Filler complications (Lip Dissolving) Dissolution of over-injections (hyaluronic acid) with hyaluronidase followed by light surgical revision if necessary. ### Post-operative care: - Inflammation/swelling ~3 weeks - Progressive deflation - Final result ~3 months ### Find answers to all your questions about lip surgery #### What are the goals of lipofilling (fat grafting) for the lips? In addition to increasing lip volume, fat grafting smooths and rejuvenates the mouth contour by softening wrinkles. #### Who is a candidate for lipofilling of the lips? All patients wishing to permanently and naturally increase the volume of their lips. #### What are the risks of lipofilling for the lips? All surgical interventions carry risks. Although rare for fat grafting, some patients may experience temporary loss of lip sensation. #### How is lipofilling of the lips performed? Dr. Fahd Benslimane performs micro fat grafts that produce natural and discreet results to enhance the mouth subtly. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Fat is harvested from the abdomen or thighs using a low-pressure syringe, then purified before being reinjected into the lips. #### How can you increase lip size? You can permanently plump your lips with a fat graft (lipofilling), or use hyaluronic acid injections for a short- to medium-term result. Face & Body Clinic supports you with advice from Dr. Fahd Benslimane, who will guide you according to your needs. #### What are the goals of an upper Lip Lift (Lip Lift)? - Lift a drooping upper lip - Reshape the Cupid's bow - Improve the smile and rejuvenate the mouth and face #### Who is a candidate for an upper Lip Lift (Lip Lift)? - Drooping or pendulous upper lip hiding the teeth when smiling - Aging lips - Poorly defined Cupid's bow - Long upper lip - Reduce the distance between the nose and the white lip - Rejuvenate the face by exposing covered teeth - Feminize the face #### How is a Lip Lift performed? Dr. Fahd Benslimane removes a thin strip of skin between the nose and the upper lip, tightens the muscle, and elevates the lip for a harmonious, long-lasting result. #### How to lift the upper lip? For a permanent result, the Lip Lift is the best surgical solution. For a temporary effect (~1 year), hyaluronic acid injections also give excellent results. #### What are the advantages of the Lip Lift? - Avoids the “duck mouth” effect - Improved, natural lip shape - Mouth better proportioned to the face - Teeth better exposed when smiling #### What is Lip Dissolving? Lip Dissolving is a procedure that reduces the volume of lips overfilled with hyaluronic acid. It involves injecting hyaluronidase to dissolve the product and restore the lips' original shape. #### How is Lip Dissolving performed? Hyaluronidase (powder diluted with saline) is injected locally after topical anesthesia. Dr. Benslimane injects the product progressively to dissolve excess hyaluronic acid. The injection is painless and post-injection inflammation subsides quickly. The patient remains under observation for approximately 30 minutes at the clinic. Resorption begins immediately (≈50% within 12 hours, the remainder within 15 days). A follow-up is then performed to adjust reshaping if necessary. After the treatment, wait 15–21 days before any new procedure on the area. #### What is hyaluronidase? Hyaluronidase is a natural enzyme used in aesthetic medicine to dissolve excess hyaluronic acid and correct overdoses or asymmetries. It is supplied as a powder diluted in saline. Apart from complications, it can be used to: - Correct an overdose resulting in overly voluminous lips - Correct an asymmetry due to uneven product distribution ## Contact - Clinique : Face & Body Clinic by Dr. Fahd Benslimane (anciennement Clinique Benslimane, fondée en 1994) - Adresse : 7, rue Ahmed Annaciri, Palmier, 20100 Casablanca, Maroc - Téléphone : +212 522 991 966 / +212 522 991 967 - WhatsApp : +212 662 579 919 - E-mail : contact@drfahdbenslimane.com - Horaires : lundi–vendredi 9 h–18 h, samedi 9 h–13 h - Google Maps : https://www.google.com/maps?cid=16115972990453426476 - Rendez-vous en ligne : https://www.drfahdbenslimane.com/fr-services-booking (EN : https://www.drfahdbenslimane.com/en-appointment) - Réseaux : https://www.instagram.com/drfahdbenslimane/ · https://www.facebook.com/CliniqueBenslimane · https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.fahd.benslimane · https://www.youtube.com/@FaceBodyClinic-wx9vh · https://www.linkedin.com/in/fahd-benslimane-35202326b
