Dr. Lyor Hanan is a French-trained Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon practising across Dubai and Paris, with a focus on natural-looking facial rejuvenation and advanced breast surgery. Known for precision and restraint, he is recognised for results that refine a patient’s appearance without altering their identity.
Dr. Hanan’s philosophy is built on precision, honesty, safety and natural results. He believes a successful aesthetic procedure should enhance a patient’s features without changing their identity, achieving a result that is harmonious and proportionate rather than visibly operated.
Every treatment plan begins with a detailed analysis of the patient’s anatomy, concerns, medical history, lifestyle and expectations. Initial consultations run 45 to 60 minutes, giving patients time to understand what surgery can realistically achieve, what it cannot, the risks involved, the recovery process and the available alternatives. Dr. Hanan considers knowing when not to operate to be an essential part of responsible plastic surgery.
Each patient he operates on receives his personal telephone number, reflecting the close and individualised post-operative follow-up he considers central to surgical care.
He completed an eight-year specialist surgical training pathway at several of Paris’s leading university hospitals, including Saint-Louis, Hôpital Européen Georges-Pompidou, Henri-Mondor and Tenon. At Georges-Pompidou he trained under Professor Laurent Lantieri, a pioneer in facial transplantation, contributing to the anatomical preparation and post-operative management of full face transplantation cases. At Saint-Louis — historically the first plastic surgery department in Paris — he trained in nose reconstructive and secondary rhinoplasty surgery.
Dr. Hanan subsequently served as a Consultant Plastic Surgeon in France, where he led the microsurgery unit for DIEP and PAP free-flap breast reconstruction. His hospital practice combined aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the face and breast, including breast reconstruction following cancer and the surgical management and reconstruction of facial skin cancers.
He holds three inter-university diplomas — in Microsurgery and in Aesthetic and Functional Rhinoplasty from Paris Sorbonne, and in Surgical Anatomy from Bordeaux — and has pursued advanced training with recognised specialists in deep-plane facelift surgery, preservation rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery. He is registered with the French Medical Council and licensed by the Dubai Health Authority as a Consultant Plastic Surgeon.
Dr. Hanan’s practice includes both primary and revision surgery, and he treats a highly international patient population across his Dubai and Paris practices. His approach is not the application of a single standard technique: each operation is planned around the individual patient’s anatomy, tissue quality, proportions and aesthetic objectives.
