For patients near and far, from every corner of the world

World-class facial surgery, one flight away

If you're reading this, you've likely done your research — and concluded that the right surgeon matters more than the right postcode. For most of our international patients, the first step is a video consultation with Dr. Faris, from home, before any flight is booked. Together we build a panfacial plan tailored to your anatomy and goals, drawing on the most advanced techniques in modern facial surgery. Every step is handled in fluent English, and with Schiphol among the world's best-connected airports, we are within reach, wherever you're travelling from.

Dr. Callum Faris

Senior consultant facial plastic & reconstructive surgeon · head and neck surgeon

Dr. Faris has spent more than 20 years operating exclusively on the face and neck. A graduate of St Bartholomew's in London with a PhD in the surgical management of facial paralysis, he conducted research at Caius College, University of Cambridge, and completed four international fellowships, including at Harvard Medical School and the University of British Columbia. He earned the Claus Walter Prize as the top international candidate in his accreditation exams and holds a university appointment as senior staff member in facial reconstructive surgery at the University of Antwerp. He also runs a cosmetic complication clinic where more than half of his operations are revision surgeries for patients who come to him from all over the world after surgery elsewhere. It is this depth that makes the extended deep-plane facelift his signature procedure.

Dr. Susan Schmidt

Medical care & non-surgical specialist · cosmetic doctor KNMG

Dr. Schmidt leads our medical care and non-surgical treatments — fat grafting, injectables and chemical peels — and is the physician who watches over your wellbeing throughout your journey with us. She studied medicine at the University of Helsinki, where she worked in the department of neurosurgery and on the transplant team, and published research in vascular surgery. She completed her GP specialisation at the University of Helsinki and the hospital of Alkmaar in the Netherlands, with a focus on emergency care, and went on to spend more than twenty years as a family doctor with her own practice. In cosmetic medicine since 2008, she is a KNMG-registered cosmetic doctor and a member of the NVCG, the Dutch society of cosmetic medicine — bringing whole-person medicine to aesthetic care. And in panfacial plans, she works hand in hand with Dr. Faris — her fat grafting completing his surgical lift.

How it works

Your journey, handled end to end

1

Tell us your wishes

Choose your area of interest and share a few details. We'll email you a personal treatment plan and quote.

2

It begins from home

Your journey starts with a personal 30–45 minute video consultation with Dr. Faris — from the comfort of your own home. Most of our international patients begin exactly this way. You meet again in person at our clinic before your surgery.

3

We plan your stay together

We help you shape your itinerary — after you've booked your flights, we can help you arrange your transfers and ensure everything is in order. For a facelift, plan ten to fourteen days in the Netherlands.

4

Your procedure

Your surgery takes place at our accredited surgical centre — modern, calm and fully equipped, with the option of an overnight stay and enhanced care.

5

Aftercare, here and at home

Our medical team sees you the morning after surgery and for follow-ups during your stay — and care continues by video once you are home.

Your comfort, considered

Every practical detail, thought through

We recommend a trusted hotel just minutes from our surgical centre, and our team helps you plan your travel and your stay down to the day. And should you prefer to leave the practicalities entirely to us, our concierge service is at your disposal — accommodation, private transfers and prescription arrangements, all taken care of on your behalf.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

Typically ten to fourteen days. Your personal treatment plan confirms your exact schedule before you book anything.

We recommend a trusted hotel a few minutes from our surgical centre, well accustomed to welcoming our patients. If you prefer, our concierge service can arrange your accommodation for you.

Gladly. On request, our concierge service arranges accommodation, private transfers and prescription collection on your behalf, so the only thing on your mind is your result.

You begin with a personal 30–45 minute video consultation with Dr. Faris (€100, which includes a second consultation — by video or in person — at no additional charge). Dr. Faris will always see you in person before your surgery — either in an in-clinic consultation in advance, or in the days leading up to surgery.

Dr. Faris reviews you personally the morning after surgery, and you return for unhurried follow-up visits throughout your stay — in close contact with your surgical team whenever you need it.

Your care doesn't end at the airport. We schedule video follow-ups, and our team — who know you and your journey — remain an email or phone call away.

Tell us your wishes or book a consultation directly with Dr. Faris, and our team will get in touch with you to begin your Face Institute journey.

Every treatment plan is personal, so we don't publish a single price list. Instead, your emailed quote states one clear figure — including surgery, anaesthesia, and surgical care centre, as well as your routine follow-up visits. It's an initial estimate based on what you share with us; once you've had your consultation, we confirm your final figure. And because we're surgeon-led rather than a large commercial group, what you pay goes into your care and your time with Dr. Faris.

The full range of modern facial surgery: the extended deep-plane facelift, the preservation deep-plane facelift, deep neck lift, endoscopic midface and forehead lifts, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty and facial fat grafting. Your treatment plan combines exactly what your face needs — nothing more. Every facelift we perform is a true deep plane — all retaining ligaments released — and deep neck lifting is routinely part of the extended deep-plane procedure, included in the price.

Yes — facial surgery is all we do, and panfacial cases are part of every operating week.

Ideally, bring a responsible adult with you for at least 5 days of your stay starting the day before surgery. If you do come alone, we are happy to make special arrangements for you.
