Prof. Dr. Yves Saban
Advanced Preservation Rhinoplasty & Anatomy-Driven Nasal Surgery Training
As part of his continuous pursuit of mastering modern rhinoplasty techniques, Dr. Mohamed El Assal attended advanced educational training and surgical workshops with Prof. Dr. Yves Saban, internationally recognized as one of the pioneers and leading authorities in Preservation Rhinoplasty worldwide.
Prof. Dr. Yves Saban is considered one of the founding figures of modern preservation rhinoplasty techniques, particularly dorsal preservation surgery, which focuses on reshaping the nose while preserving the natural anatomical structures and maintaining both function and long-term stability.
Dr. Saban is internationally known for his anatomy-driven surgical philosophy, combining advanced aesthetic refinement with preservation of nasal breathing and structural integrity, aiming to achieve highly natural and balanced results tailored to each patient’s facial identity.
During this educational journey, Dr. Mohamed El Assal participated in advanced surgical observations, scientific discussions, and specialized workshops focusing on Preservation Rhinoplasty, dorsal preservation techniques, nasal anatomy, structural balance, and modern concepts in function-preserving rhinoplasty surgery.
The training emphasized preserving the natural nasal framework instead of aggressive tissue removal, improving long-term surgical stability, minimizing trauma, and achieving natural aesthetic outcomes without compromising nasal function.
Prof. Dr. Yves Saban is also globally recognized for his academic contributions to rhinoplasty education, serving as Chairman of the Rhinoplasty Focus Group for the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (EAFPS), former President of the International Rhinoplasty Research Society (IRRS), and author of multiple scientific textbooks and anatomical references in rhinoplasty surgery.
These experiences played a major role in refining Dr. Mohamed El Assal’s modern surgical philosophy and continue to influence the advanced rhinoplasty techniques currently adopted at ME Clinic.
