J’ai eu le privilège de suivre une fellowship de rhinoplastie pratique (hands-on) de 6 jours avec le Dr Hossam Foda, et ce fut une expérience d’apprentissage exceptionnelle. Il s’agit véritablement d’une fellowship unique — la seule fellowship de rhinoplastie entièrement hands-on de ce type dans le monde.

Au cours de la semaine, nous avons réalisé deux rhinoplasties par jour, ce qui a offert une opportunité incomparable d’acquérir une expérience pratique et d’approfondir ma compréhension chirurgicale. J’ai énormément appris, tant sur le plan technique que conceptuel. Le Dr Foda est un enseignant remarquable — extrêmement patient, généreux dans le partage de ses connaissances et profondément engagé dans le mentorat. Il prend le temps d’expliquer chaque étape, de répondre aux questions en détail et de s’assurer d’une réelle compréhension, et non d’une simple observation.

Toute l’équipe était accueillante, professionnelle et très agréable à côtoyer, ce qui a rendu l’expérience encore plus enrichissante.

Je recommande vivement cette fellowship à tout chirurgien souhaitant perfectionner de manière significative ses compétences en rhinoplastie. Ce fut une expérience inestimable qui aura un impact durable sur ma pratique.

Participating in this Rhinoplasty Fellowship with Professor Hossam Foda was a truly outstanding and enriching experience. The hands-on training was exceptional and genuinely changed my practice, refining both my surgical techniques and decision-making. The operative exposure was remarkable, with a wide and well-selected variety of cases that covered different rhinoplasty challenges and levels of complexity, allowing for deep, practical learning.

Beyond the high scientific and surgical value, we were honored by Professor Foda’s kindness and generosity. The overall experience was conducted in a very friendly and welcoming environment, making learning enjoyable and encouraging open discussion and interaction. It was also a great opportunity to meet and connect with many inspiring colleagues, which added great professional and personal value to the fellowship.

As a surgeon committed to lifelong learning, I applied for this fellowship not looking for novelty, but for
depth. Observing and operating on Professor Foda’s approach provided exactly that: a return to
fundamentals, guided by experience, precision and clarity.
The week in Cairo was more than a learning experience; it offered a rare opportunity for focused
refinement. Each case we worked on unfolded within a well-structured framework, revealing the
discipline and consistency behind his results.
What stood out the most was Professor Foda’s ability to apply a highly standardized method to diverse
anatomies; and, when deviations occurred, rapidly, calmly, and serenely adapt the plan with practical
and effective solutions. That balance between structure and agility was both elegant and instructive.
The environment was intellectually generous, technically rigorous, and genuinely warm. His team
reflects the same values: coordination, respect, and silent mastery.
This experience will undoubtedly change my surgical thinking and how I share knowledge moving
forward. It is part of my commitment to my patients' outcomes and elevating the field of rhinoplasty
across Latin America and beyond.

I have been so lucky to attend Dr. Foda’s rhinoplasty fellowship in July 2025. It has been a wonderful
experience both surgically and socially, with Dr. Foda being a very warm and generous person with a
great sense of humor combined with extraordinary abilities to teach rhinoplasty.
From the first cases, Dr. Foda shows and guides you through the steps of rhinoplasty needed to achieve
an excellent result. The lunch lectures gave the solid theory base needed to understand the complexity
of rhinoplasty.
The true uniqueness of this fellowship is that you get to try the techniques hands on with one the worlds
most renowned nose surgeons patiently guiding you through the whole way. I can only express my
sincere gratitude for this excellent fellowship!

This fellowship was truly a transformative hands-on experience in the heart of Cairo. Over six intensive
days, we—four fellows from different countries and surgical backgrounds (ENT and plastic surgery)—had
the unique opportunity to perform rhinoplasty under the direct supervision of Professor Foda.
Each day included two primary rhinoplasty cases where we participated in every step:
 Reviewing preoperative photos
 Analyzing facial aesthetics
 Discussing surgical plans
 Operating with structured intraoperative teaching
We learned to master the open rhinoplasty approach, perform septoplasty, harvest grafts, execute tip
refinement, dorsal hump reduction, osteotomies, and even basal reduction techniques. Fellows rotated
as primary surgeon or first assistant, fostering true teamwork in the OR.
The entire surgical team was incredibly supportive and generous with their guidance. Detailed operative
notes and focused lectures were provided throughout the week, and the program concluded with a
certificate recognizing the successful completion of the fellowship.
This was more than just an educational experience — it was a career-defining opportunity to grow
technically, intellectually, and professionally under the guidance of one of the world’s leading
rhinoplasty experts.

Attending this rhinoplasty fellowship was a truly rich experience for me. The course was exceptionally
well-structured, with a strong emphasis on hands-on training that significantly enhanced my surgical
skills and understanding for rhinoplasty. The hands-on experience in every step of each case along with
the quality of the theoretical lectures reflects the experience, skills and immense knowledge of prof
Foda, whose passion for teaching and commitment to excellence were evident in every session.
The learning environment was not only highly professional but also genuinely supportive and
encouraging, creating the perfect atmosphere for growth and learning.
I am deeply grateful for this opportunity, and I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking an
intensive hands-on experience with one of the most renowned rhinoplasty surgeons in the world.
Cairo itself added a unique dimension to the experience.

I met Prof. Foda for the first time in Newcastle, UK on a rhinoplasty cadaveric course. It was an absolute
pleasure and honor to go and work with him 10 years later and learn from the master himself. Prof has
mastered a way of teaching and quickly understands the surgeon's level of experience and tailors his
teaching and guides you appropriately. This fellowship is an absolute blessing for budding rhinoplasty
surgeons and Prof teaches you to adopt a systematic approach to rhinoplasty and cases are selected to
experience and understand different aspects of aesthetic issues one may come across in the future.
Prof. Foda has an excellent team, and they are so welcoming, pleasant and very helpful. Cairo is a
beautiful city and Prof Foda and his team will look after you very well.

I am immensely grateful to Prof.Hossam Foda for conducting such a great Rhinoplasty fellowship
course. It is by chance that I happened to see one of his live operative videos.
I consider myself very lucky to have got an opportunity to attend the fellowship course.
Prof.Foda's knowledge, experience and expertise in rhinoplasty is unparalleled! The way he explains and
guides each and every step in depth right from the beginning till the end is truly amazing, as are the
post-operative results.
He explains the approach to be taken for each patient pre- operatively. The theoretical part is explained
in a simplified manner by diagrams. He is indeed a great teacher!
Thank you very much Sir for such a wonderful and enlightening experience! My confidence in doing
rhinoplasty increased greatly after attending your hands on training course and I could clear all my
doubts. It was indeed a great professional experience. I will definitely recommend this course to anyone
who wants to do rhinoplasty.
The excellent hospitality shown by Prof.Foda and his team deserves a special mention. We enjoyed the
late night dinners a lot.
I also had an opportunity to visit the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx and river Nile cruise along with
my family and my colleague Dr.Anwar and his family. Thank you Dr.Anwar. Overall, it was a very
experience.
Thank you very much Prof. Hossam Foda and team, and my colleagues for an incredible experience!

Dear Dr. Hossam
I am very thankful for the priceless experience we had with you. The rhinoplasty fellowship week was
extraordinary. Your dedicated teaching and guidance in hands-on training was so amazing and really
impressed with the high level of creations in each step of the operation. I am so grateful to have this
rewarding experience that exceeds my expectations with one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons
worldwide. Finally, I would like to thank the entire team for the warm and enjoyable environment.

It was pure serendipity that I happened to meet Prof. Foda at one of the exclusive Rhinoplasty
conferences wherein most of the Who's who in the Rhinoplasty world were presenting and Prof Foda's
simplicity of presentation without being ostentatious, the complexity of cases and the outstanding
results stood out.
I then decided to apply for his hands on fellowship which I am glad that I did.
This hand- on fellowship is one of its kind in the world, wherein the fellows are taught in a step by step
manner. From the first case onwards, gradually one can see performing all aspects of Rhinoplasty
surgery incrementally including complex tip defining work.
Prof Foda's style of teaching is crisp, clear, and informative. There was discussion about each case, prior
to the surgery as to what aspects were being addressed and why a particular procedure or maneuver
was required to get the desired results.
The cases were a good mix of different types of noses and different procedures carried out, yet there
was good continuity of experience. There was didactic lunch time teaching as well about different
aspects of the art of Rhinoplasty.
I would be doing injustice if I don’t mention the excellent hospitality shown by Prof Foda and his team to
all the fellows.  Particular mention of Dr. Mansour who is a fellow of Prof. Foda, who went out of his way
to make us comfortable and feel welcomed. In addition to gaining excellent surgical experience, I feel I
have also made lifelong  friends- with the other fellows, Prof. Foda and Dr.Mansour.

Thank you very much for the Fellowship. It was more than wonderful. The training steps were
clear and well organized, and included practical training and theoretical lectures.

I encourage any doctor interested in rhinoplasty to attend that Fellowship.

Attending the Rhinoplasty fellowship with Prof. Hossam Foda was an extraordinary experience that
profoundly enhanced my surgical skills and knowledge. Prof. Foda’s expertise and dedication to teaching
are unparalleled. From the very first day, it was evident that I was learning from a master of the craft.
The hands-on training sessions were incredibly detailed, allowing me to grasp complex techniques with
ease. Prof. Foda’s personalised approach ensured that each fellow received the attention and guidance
needed to excel. The comprehensive set of surgical cases, combined with Prof. Foda’s insightful lectures,
provided a deep understanding of both the art and science of rhinoplasty. Additionally, the supportive
and collaborative environment fostered by Prof. Foda and his team made the fellowship not only
educational but also immensely enjoyable. I highly recommend this fellowship to any aspiring
rhinoplasty surgeon seeking to refine their skills and gain invaluable experience under the mentorship of
one of the best in the field.

Words are not enough to describe this fellowship.  Firstly, I have to thank Professor Foda. He is a great
surgeon and very committed to research. His practice is driven by years of experience and backed by
evidence-based knowledge.
But you probably already know this. What not all people might know is that besides that he is a great
teacher, and a wonderful person. He is patient, very thorough and will make sure that you learn,
practice and don’t go back home making mistakes you probably did before.
I also have to thank his fellows and all his staff. They were very thoughtful, made sure we felt welcome
and that everything went swimmingly. Not only regarding the course itself but your whole stay in Cairo.
The other fellows in this edition were also important for this. I would say that this is the course I have
felt the best team spirit at.

This is how the art of Rhinoplasty became clearer with each passing day, being with Dr Foda
during 6 days of this wonderful fellowship.
Dr Foda holds your hand, walks with your pace, highlights your skills and somehow corrects
your mistakes without making you feel miserable through his charismatic and exceptionally
humble nature.
His entire team loves and follows him like a father. They all welcome you in Foda’s family with
respect, love and care.
I enjoyed the fellowship thoroughly and highly recommend it.

M Faheem Khadim

The Rhinoplasty Fellowship with Prof. Foda is exceptional and unique. The hands-on rhinoplasty
training, the team and overall experience are simply fantastic.
Prof. Foda’s fellowship will be THE most important foundation for my future rhinoplasty
endeavors. For more experienced rhinoplasty surgeons, it could well be a capstone experience.
Ironically this all took place at the home of the pyramids of Giza.
Under Prof. Foda’s tutelage, depending on prior experience, each fellow performs in a step-by-
step process the actual rhinoplasty procedure, gaining experience and growing confidence day by
day, including more challenging rhinoplasty procedures. Each patient’s preoperative aesthetic
issues and surgical strategy are discussed in the morning at the day of surgery. Ample, and an
extremely well structured theoretical background is provided during lunch breaks.

It is my pleasure to attend this year’s Fellowship. It was a wonderful week, everything was very
perfectly planned. Dr. Foda teachs you step-by-step until Perfection, not only in the field of
rhinoplasty, but also in dealing with the patient who cames for rhinoplasty,
He knows exactly what to do. What I like is the family atmosphere in the operating room
everyone knows what to do, there was clear harmony between all the OR personnel.
I recommend this course to anyone who wants to participate in the best practical course
for rhinoplasty that I have ever attended.
Thanks again Dr. Foda

Reviewing the testimonials of many previous participants of the Fellowship with Professor Foda,
I wondered what more I could write to describe all the advantages of this training. Given that I
have been to several courses before, I always try to give an honest and factual review of them.
Agreeing with many predecessors I believe that this is currently the best course I have been on.
First of all, the duration of the course is perfect. Had it been shorter I would feel unsatisfied, if it
were longer I would be weary.
The number of students in relation to its formula provides ample opportunity for unlimited
drawing on Professor Foda's vast knowledge and experience both theoretical and practical. The
numerous tips during the surgical procedures dispelled many of my doubts and made my fears
about rhinoplasty disappear. I feel that I have become a better surgeon after this course.
I am honored to have been a part of this course and to have had the opportunity to get to know
more about one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in the world.

Professor Foda is a true Master of rhinoplasty. He has honed his skills over an illustrious career
and will systematically teach you how he performs rhinoplasty. Not only will you have the
opportunity to carry out parts of the operations, you will be critically appraised by someone who
deeply cares about teaching and outcomes. I can’t thank him enough for giving me this
opportunity and would highly recommend this fellowship to anyone interested in rhinoplasty
surgery. The fellowship class of 2022 will always remain a highlight of my journey to master
rhinoplasty surgery.
With warmest of regards

This was not my first rhinoplasty fellowship, but it was certainly the best. We performed twelve
surgeries in six days. One of the main values of the course is hands-on training. Professor Foda
shows you his technique for rhinoplasty step by step, and then lets you do it the same way and
controls your movements. One of the surgeries was a revision rhinoplasty using the auricular
cartilage which Professor Foda is famous for. He is an excellent teacher and a great surgeon
who makes rhinoplasty seem easy. In between surgeries, the Professor presented the
theoretical basics of rhinoplasty and problem-solving methods. We asked an endless number of
questions, and he answered them all patiently. Professor Foda has assembled a great surgical
team. His fellows Dr. Ahmed Mansour and Dr. Ahmed Jimmy were very helpful during the
course. I believe this is a must for any rhinoplasty surgeon in training. This fellowship certainly
brought significant input to my overall experience and will be fondly remembered.

Krzysztof Zub, MD

No matter how good you think you are in Rhinoplasty, Dr. Foda can still guide you in every step until
reaching perfection. You will go from analysis of preop photos to surgical planning to performing the
most sophisticated surgical maneuvers.
Being one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons doesn’t stop doctor Foda from sharing his invaluable
knowledge and experience by giving you the opportunity to operate with him on all the patients. With
the patience of a saint, he will help you find out what you’ve doing wrong, and what you should change
in your technique in order to achieve reliable, consistent, and long lasting results. He would do it
happily, because as he says “this is my job”.

I never expected that any hands-on fellowship would provide me with such extended and in-
depth knowledge and expertise. My doubts I had for the amount of benefit I would get out of
leaving my busy practice back home for a whole week were immediately gone after meeting the
Master of not only rhinoplasty but also of teaching; Professor Hossam Foda. Once again please
accept my greatest appreciation for giving me the opportunity to join you and become already a
rhinoplasty expert.

The fellowship experience with Dr. Foda has been the best in my rhinoplasty training by far. Professor
Foda not only a great surgeon but also a great teacher, he has taught us each of his techniques and
tricks, something that I will be always grateful for. He took me by the hand while performing every
maneuver with great patience and harmony. My professional life has completely taken another course
from this experience, from now on it will be a before and after fellowship.
His team is highly qualify and i felt their entire support from the beginning. The clinic is at the highest
level and they made me feel like part of the team. I am honored and grateful to Dr Foda and his team for
the exquisite experience.
It has certainly been the best experience in rhinoplasty and I recommend it to the whole world. Dr Foda
is a role model to follow and with this course I have not only learned surgical techniques but also to
better understand the complexity of cases as well as to love my work even more. شكرا على كل شيء

it was wonderful course, with hands-on surgical training.
Before each case, we discussed with Professor Foda preoperative assessment and surgical planning,
then we start the operation and apply what we planned. The fellowship was well designed and included
scientific lectures on all the different topics in rhinoplasty.
Professor Foda was a very kind, helpful and outstanding mentor. I gained new surgical techniques to
deal with different surgical situations. I strongly recommend this fellowship to all surgeons interested to
be trained by a well-known outstanding rhinoplasty surgeon.

This is a truly ‘one of a kind’, unique Rhinoplasty fellowship. Hands-on surgical training, with the very patient and very knowledgeable Prof. Hossam Foda. In addition to the lectures that we had, it completes the overall perspective and thought process of how to approach all different kinds of deformities, and how to manage the aesthetic as well as the functional side. This hands-on opportunity has definitely improved my approach to Rhinoplasty and I have taken away so many tips and tricks to help along the way. I will never forget my time in Cairo, and I hope I can go back again. I strongly recommend this fellowship for anyone who has a good knowledge of Rhinoplasty and wants to learn from a true expert.

J’ai eu l’immense chance de faire partie des 4 fellows du professeur Foda pour le 16ème fellowship de rhinoplastie au Caire. J’ai souhaité y participer, étant parfois déçue de mes résultats chirurgicaux sans savoir comment les améliorer.
J’ai bien sur trouvé des réponses à toutes mes questions, notamment grâce aux cas précisément expliqués par le Pr Foda. Chaque patient est étudié sur les photos préopératoires puis un schéma précis de ce qui a été réalisé est noté en post-opératoire.
Cependant, j’ai trouvé encore plus que ce que je venais chercher. Le Professeur Foda est un enseignant comme j’en ai rarement croisé. Il nous permet de réaliser toutes les étapes d’une rhinoplastie primaire sous sa supervision en corrigeant patiemment et précisément chacun de nos gestes.
Je n’avais jamais été guidée de cette sorte dans la réalisation d’une rhinoplastie et je peux dire que ce fellowship a transformé ma pratique et m’a donné beaucoup de confiance.
L’accueil au bloc opératoire était excellent de la part de toute l’équipe. Tout était prévu pour que nos journées se passent pour le mieux. En dehors du bloc opératoire, nous avons passé de magnifiques soirées en compagnie du Professeur Foda et de son fellow Mansour.
Un immense merci au Professeur Foda pour son investissement dans notre formation. J’espère pouvoir revenir pour le voir faire des cas de rhinoplasties secondaires 🙂

The rhinoplasty fellowship from professor Hossam Foda is the best hands-on course on this difficult surgery anywhere in the world. Between surgeries and lectures, we had a global approach to the nose and learned directly from a master. During the 6-day course, we revised all of the 12 operative cases and understood all the fundamentals of the surgery.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced surgeon, this fellowship will definitely change your practice. I WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK

Also, a huge thanks to the entire surgical team and nurses for the warm welcome! Thanks again to Professor for the most valuable course, for this great experience, acquaintance with wonderful people, for friendship!

I had the privilege to attend the 15th Rhinoplasty Live Surgery Fellowship in Cairo with Prof. Hossam Foda from 7-12 th December 2019.
Besides being one of the renowned icons of modern Rhinoplasty, Prof. Hossam is an excellent teacher. The Hands-on fellowship is organized in a way that you can do a step-by-step open Rhinoplasty under his supervision. Based on his huge experience, we can learn even the small practical details that frequently miss from presentations or cadaveric courses.
No matter being a beginner or an experienced Rhino surgeon there is always a lot to learn during the 12 cases operated. On Pre-op all the cases were revised, and Intra-op with schemes that would let us keep in mind what we have done. Between first and second case everyday there were lectures of all aspects of the surgery.
During our stay in Cairo, we had the chance to also appreciate with Dr Hossam the richness of culinary in Egypt in wonderful evenings.
In short this was an outstanding course that fulfilled my requirements.
Thank you Professor Hossam Foda for let me have this oportunity.

I had the great opportunity to attend this fellowship, and expectations were achieved from the first till the last day. Dr. Foda is a charismatic professor and surgeon, and even a greater human being, who made these 6 days an unforgettable experience.
We assisted on the 12 surgeries, taking active part of all of them, and Dr. Foda was always teaching and trying to make us understand the meaning of every step. The environment in the operating room was perfect, so homely and friendly. In between the surgeries, he gave us daily lectures, and we had the chance to discuss the operative cases.
It was a really privilege to be able to be there, thank you very much.

I would like to thank Professor Hossam Foda for his good teaching and kind welcome in his hospital in Cairo, Egypt. During 6 days we had 12 surgeries and interesting lectures. It was a great privilege and pleasure to be there. The two cases a day with hands-on operating and the lectures allowed me to make rapid progress in surgical technique and in knowledge about rhinoplasty. I would like to thank again Prof. Hossam Foda for his involvement and good mood. Thanks to all his team for the good atmosphere and their professionalism. Thanks also to the other participants – Dr Carlos Carvalho from Portugal and Dr Eva Pablos from Spain – with whom we had a great relationship and a good interaction about the surgeries and the visit of Cairo. We are privileged to have been able to benefit from the explanations and training of a surgeon with such a great experience as the one of Prof. Hossam Foda. We also got notes, photographic images, a CD with videos und a USB flash drive with scientific articles from Prof Hossam Foda. Finally, it was very rich in teaching and a very unique experience, which I truly recommend. شكرا

Having performed around 8000 Rhinoplasties and regularly exchanged ideas with numerous other rhinoplasty greats Professor Foda has an encyclopedic knowledge. He is a Master Surgeon. His vast knowledge has enabled him to condense this most complex of facial plastic procedures down to its essence (every maneuver is simplified, and you witness the cause-and-effect transformation in front of your eyes). He is also a Master teacher and his fellowship is incredibly well designed. Two cases a day (primaries and secondaries) with hands-on operating and case-based discussions interposed with lectures for 6 days very quickly enables participants to make a leap forward in their own knowledge, understanding and skills. It further enables them to quickly and efficiently solve the problems they encounter in their own daily practice. Professor Foda and his team are infinitely welcoming, caring and generous. I feel incredibly privileged to have taken part in his Live Surgery Fellowship.

My training in cosmetic and microvascular plastic surgery includes Italy, Brazil, Spain, UK, USA, and Israel. Today I lead my own cosmetic plastic surgery service in Harley Street, Central London. I strongly believe I had the chance to operate alongside the best reconstructive and cosmetic surgeons on the planet. Today I am sure I never had a better teacher than Professor Foda.
During the 1-week fellowship I operated every day, performing, again and again, all steps of open septorhinoplasty (primary and revision), I was supervised on each single movement during cartilage harvest from septum and ear, dicing, curving and suturing, osteotomies alar base reduction, management of skin and mucosa laceration and scar contraction .
In synthesis, I was led through every single step of the procedure, from infiltration to splinting. All results achieved during the fellowship were exceptionally good.
Between surgeries, Prof. Foda presented us with all his famous talks for which he is invited to teach all around the planet. Lunch was served during the teaching to optimize time and go back to operate the next case. The “fellowship pack” also includes notes and images of the operated cases, CD with videos and USB with the huge scientific production of Professor Foda.
The fellowship is intense because the seven days are full of theory and practice. The cost is absolutely reasonable compared with any other cadaver dissections course with or without live surgery: this course is a real “surgical personal training”. After this course, I will be able to resolve a larger number of nasal problems or certainly the same but better than before, with an immediate return of investment. I feel simply “educated and inspired” by this amazing person and I feel the privilege of knowing him better.

The fellowship is very well organized, structured and is true hands on experience.
I have learned loads and gained many skills during this fellowship and certainly will take a lot of this back to my practice.
I would like to thank you for your generosity, hospitality, kindness, patient and your spirit in teaching.
Really felt part of your great team.

Whatever you expect to find in this fellowship, the reality is much better.
Nothing similar to this fellowship all over the world.
Professor Foda is unique in simplifying all the steps of rhinoplasty and teach you to know what you should change in these steps to achieve the best functional and aesthetic goals in your surgery.
I wish that time stopped here in Cairo in order not to leave this fellowship.
Simply it exceeded all my expectations.

In my rhinoplasty education I was very privileged to learn from Great Masters. After visiting Prof. Toriumi in Chicago and Dr Daniel in Newport Beach, participating in Dallas Rhinoplasty Meeting and Bergamo Open Rhinoplasty Courses I decided to apply for Rhinoplasty Live Surgery Fellowship with Prof. Hossam Foda.
I was on waiting list for about 1,5 years but I can say today, just after its completion, that it was really worth to wait for.
This fellowship is the best form of rhinoplasty education because it is truly ”hands-on-training”.
Moreover, Prof. Foda provides participants with short but very quintessential lectures on all aspects of rhinoplasty between cases. All cases are analysed pre and post op and post op schemes are provided for participants. We asked Professor countless number of questions which he answered in details.
Besides great expertise in rhinoplasty Prof. Foda is a very social and humble man.
Thank you, Professor, for this unforgettable experience which went far beyond my expectations.

Dr Foda’s fellowship is unique, because when you enter into the OT the entire staff like one team are welcoming you and in no time you are already part of it. During the six days we operated 12 cases, what I mean “we” YOU first of all and Dr Foda. This course is a real hands-on course, where beginners and advanced level surgeons also will gain lots of benefit. Hundreds of questions, ideas and methods have been discussed and presented. Between surgeries there is time for lecture, which also extremely beneficial for all levels.
Personally, I was interested in to learn more about alar surgeries and I am extremely satisfied with the way how Dr Foda showed me. I have implemented it in my practice and it looks fantastic. Thank you Dr Foda for making this fellowship, it was a landmark in my skills development.

The Alexandria Rhinoplasty Fellowship with Prof. Foda is exceptional and unique. The hands on rhinoplasty training, the team and overall experience are simply fantastic.
Prof. Foda’s fellowship will be THE most important foundation for my future rhinoplasty endeavors. For more experienced rhinoplasty surgeons, it could well be a capstone experience. Ironically this all took place at the home of the pyramids of Giza.
Under Prof. Foda’s tutelage, depending on prior experience, each fellow performs in a step by step process the actual rhinoplasty procedure, gaining experience and growing confidence day by day, including more challenging rhinoplasty procedures. Each patient’s preoperative aesthetic issues and surgical strategy are discussed in the morning at the day of surgery.
Ample, and an extremely well structured theoretical background is provided between the cases during the lunch breaks.

Thank you so much Professor for the great fellowship and for the wonderful hospitality. It’s an honor knowing and working with a master in Rhinoplasty like yourself. I learned a lot during this Fellowship and It’s an experience that I won’t ever forget. God bless you

Your fellowship is very well organized, structured and has a straight line. Performing surgeries especially on the nose is a unique opportunity and privilege under the supervision of a leading expert like yourself.
Rhinoplasty is the most challenging aesthetic procedure, and you taught us the important and critical steps how to perform and also how not to perform a rhinoplasty.
All cases were very instructive, and in all surgeries you gave us a clear approach and method how to analyze and operate a nose. The lectures between the surgeries were very helpful to understand the techniques we performed during the surgeries.
The patients we operated on were ideal cases and representative for our daily work at home.
I can only recommend this fellowship to all colleagues around the globe performing rhinoplasty and who want to improve their technique and results.
Thank you again for this outstanding fellowship.

Dr. Mathias Tremp Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon

Rhinoplasty being one of the most difficult aesthetic surgeries one can master, this fellowship week has been a career-changing experience for me, but also for many colleagues that I know.
This course is not about tips and tricks, but about hands-on surgery guided by an expert, delivering immediate confidence and insight.
The surgeries were swift and focused, so it left us time for lectures, group discussions and exploring the surroundings. As this course has been recommended to me, I would immediately recommend it further.
If you were to do only 1 rhinoplasty fellowship or course in your life, it should be this one.

As a person Prof Foda is humble, pleasant and good natured; always in good mood with a good sense of humor. His presence makes you feel at ease; sometimes we are amazed at level of humility. Attention to details not only includes surgery, Prof Foda impresses you with his hospitality, advice for shopping/sight-seeing, and his choice of restaurants for evening meals. His team are always at hand to iron out any problems that may arise.
Prof Foda, an undisputed Guru of Rhinoplasty, has designed this course with the learner in mind; taking the learner through the basic to the advance level of thinking and operating skills. I have not seen any surgeon with such a clear concepts and understanding of the problems. In my humble opinion this is the most organized, interactive, and hands-on course I have ever attended. It has given me in-depth knowledge and understanding of rhinoplasty from a master of this art. I highly recommend this course to any surgeon who would like to perform rhinoplasty surgery confidently and safely.

It is a pleasure to testify about my experience during the fellowship in Cairo.
To begin with, the number of participants seems perfect since each participant performs daily a surgery and an observation.
The clinic where the fellowship is held is perfect in size because the operating rooms and the meeting room are nearby making all the logistics very simple for the participants.
The organization of activities is really what makes this fellowship so special. 7 days of fully hands-on surgery, daily lectures and then another surgery to observe makes the learning curve really rewarding. To start the activities at 8 o’clock and finishing at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, allows you to rest during the afternoon or sightseeing Cairo.
Finally I want to emphasize that although all the above works perfectly (and it does) it is the ability to teach, the humility and the charisma of Professor Foda what makes this experience something that I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn how to do rhinoplasty.

I am a French plastic surgeon and I’ve been performing rhinoplasties in Paris since many years but i still felt uncomfortable with some of my rhinoplasty cosmetic results.
Despite attending a lot of rhinoplasty training courses around the World and following some excellent surgeons, this is the first fellowship that really gave me something new and interesting:
-Each day we operated on 2 real different cases
-We had primary as well as secondary cases
-Each fellow can really do every part of the rhinoplasty procedure Step-by-step a little more every day.
-It’s a real hands-on fellowship with only 4 participants so you can learn a lot and see a lot.
-Dr. Foda is calm, attentive, perfectionist, and answered all the participant’s questions.
-Every day between the surgical cases Dr Foda ‘s theoretical presentations helped us understand better most of the rhinoplasty procedures
-You can see every day’s patients before they leave the Clinic and the day after surgery to remove dressing
I will strongly recommend this fellowship to all my colleagues who love rhinoplasty and want to improve their results as much as possible

I would like to thank you Dr. Foda for a very successful fellowship
Excellent organization, the program and case selection were arranged to complement the learning experience. Friendly atmosphere and the patience and excellent guidance of Dr. Foda made things very smooth during surgery.
I have learned loads during that fellowship and certainly will take a lot of this back to my practice which will undoubtedly benefit my patients and improve surgical outcome.
Very important to say excellent value for the money.
Once more I would like to thank you for giving me this exceptional learning opportunity.

Mr Omar Ayoub
Consultant ENT Surgeon

My overall impression was:
– The hotel recommendation was very good
– It was a good selection of fellows: two plastic surgeons and two ENT’s
– We had a relaxed atmosphere in the operation theatre with a very friendly staff
– Clear and very structured operation strategy that followed strong rules that were appropriately adjusted in accordance with the unique wishes and needs of the patient
-Your daily presentation, during the lunch break, were very detailed and instructive and you answered all our questions with your great expertise.
-During the operations you gave all of us the opportunity to see and to do all the steps of the surgery and you informed us about all details with a great passion. I always had the impression you are aware of the exact effect of every step you take while operating on a nose, your style of operation follows a very clear concept, which is something I really appreciate. Moreover, you are thinking of the long-term effects of each maneuver. Your very structured approach was extremely helpful for me. Also after surgery, the idea of documenting all the steps and drawing it on your operative data sheet was very convincing and illustrative.
-Joining us into one WhatsApp group was very helpful in allowing us to be in direct contact with each other. It’s still good to know that we can continue exchanging ideas on that platform by presenting our cases there, and that you give us your opinion what can be done with them.

It was a great pleasure joining your fellowship. It was very well structured and organized. The objectives were clear and all cases and beneficial scientific material were handed to us on a USB from day one. Excellent variety of 12 cases covering most problems in Rhinoplasty. Good surgical exposure to many intra-operative challenging situations with real hands-on experience. Daily lecture covered a wide spectrum of common clinical problems. I would definitely recommend it to other plastic surgeons

Dear Professor Foda,

After having met you in a conference I really wished I could attend your fellowship. I feel now very lucky and proud for having had that learning opportunity that will significantly help me with my rhinoplasties.
The fellowship is a truly hands-on training and the amount of learning I got was incomparable to any other course one could attend on rhinoplasty. You are an exceptional teacher and I would like to wholeheartedly thank you for sharing your knowledge with so much skills, patience and good spirit.
The sense of hospitality from you and your OR team was unique and discovering Cairo was fantastic. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

Dr. Oanna Meyer

Dear Professor,

It is now two weeks after we were at your Fellowship in Cairo performing 12 Rhinoplasty cases. I thank you for the unique surgical “nose” experience, guided and directed by yourself, from A to Z. As a teacher you are unique.
It stroke me that you had the extraordinary gift to adapt yourself the level of each fellow, during the surgery, and teach accordingly.
Your approach and teaching made me realize that there is no place for mystification of nose surgery, and that it is perfectly well possible to teach this surgery in a systematic and methodological way, by each step pointing out what is really important, and what’s not, with all the do’s and dont’s, and including the important logical sequence of doing the things.
You make it to a point of honor to give all, and to hide nothing. You’re a perfect teacher, as if you have a mission, and you do this with an open and caring mind. I learned so much and when I performed my first nose, after returning, it went uneventfully well with almost no stress.
By the way: your scientific articles that you were so kind to include in the package: they explain precisely why and how you do the things, they are excellent and clarifying. For now, lets wait for your book. This will be a fantastic book.

Dear Prof. Foda,

I had the opportunity and the great honor of attending the 10th edition of your hands-on Live Surgery fellowship, and I am a 100% sure that is the best investment of time that I have ever experienced in my entire career as an Otolaryngologist.
The step-by-step approach that you offer giving your students all the Hints and pitfalls, and the combination of the Hands-On training with the top-of-the-line lectures makes this fellowship a one of a kind experience; only someone like you, who really masters and understands a procedure as complex as rhinoplasty, can make it look as affordable as you did.
On top of that, the opportunity to work with you, and know you as person deserves recognition by itself since you are not only a great surgeon but an even greater human being, your humbleness is only an expression of how great you are; thank you for your patience kindness and for giving us an experience that for sure will change our lives as surgeons.

You are an amazing person and a wonderful and giving teacher.

Dr. Georgos Ioannides

I always use to class myself as moderate to advance level of a Rhinoplasty surgeon in Pakistan. Most of my colleagues, patients and some of my younger colleagues would tell me that I have amazing results. I have even an opportunity to present some of my papers at the international and national forums. In 2015, I was attending a conference in Nice when I came to know about Dr Foda, and listen to his few talks. His results were amazing and in the end he showed a slide mentioning he runs a hands on fellowship on Rhinoplasty. So, I applied for that fellowship.
I have been to many centers to learn and improve my skills in art of Rhinoplasty. I do not remember any person having such a clear mind and concept, to address the most challenging Rhinoplasty cases, than what I saw Dr Foda doing. He has revolutionized my concept about how to address a Rhinoplasty patient and especially a revision case.
I think, I can safely say this was by far the most educational week of my career in learning about Rhinoplasty, and also conceptualizing the way to address the most difficult cases in Rhinoplasty.
I feel a doctor who wants to take Rhinoplasty seriously in his career should attend this hands-on workshop and I am so inspired by the efforts of Dr. Foda, that I hope to follow his footsteps.

Please thank your whole team in the OR as they were very friendly and kind to us.

But Dr. Foda sir really I have never seen a great man like you who is so humble and polite with his students.
I think this is the best place to learn rhinoplasty in the world.

It was my pleasure and honor to attend the 9th Alexandria Rhinoplasty Live Surgery Fellowship.
Really it was one of the best and well organized fellowships. I have learned so many things by having a chance for hands-on surgical training. I loved your way of thinking and how to analyze the cases systematically to end up with a clear plan.
I would like to thank you for your generosity, hospitality, kindness, patient and your spirit in teaching.
Really I recommend all my colleagues to attend this amazing and unique fellowship and I hope that I can attend it again and again.

Dear Prof. Foda,

Thank you for this exciting week of professional teaching and warm hospitality. It was a pleasure to stay in the interesting city of Alexandria.
I would like to thank you for the well-organized fellowship with your friendly team. The course was well-structured, with operations in the morning and in the afternoon. During the operations we were able to do all different steps ourselves.
Every day at lunch we had a lecture concerning the different topics we met in the OR. At the end of the day we discussed every step we did.
I’ve been to a lot of meetings in Rhinoplasty so far, but this was the best fellowships I ever attended. Your results are very natural and I’ve never saw such perfect revision cases.
You are an excellent teacher and a formidable surgeon who makes Rhinoplasty looks easy.
I recommend this fellowship to all surgeons interested in Rhinoplasty.

Dear Prof. Foda,

I had the great fortune and the big honor to attend the 7th rhinoplasty live surgery fellowship of Prof. Foda. The whole Fellowship was perfectly organized, we were given information about the operative cases and were handed out selected literature and papers to deepen our knowledge. I had the opportunity to discuss the cases with other Fellows before getting into the OR.
Prof. Foda is an impressive master of Rhinoplasty. He is an ocean of knowledge, experience and skill in the art of Rhinoplasty. He has a clear and simple approach to the most diverse and difficult cases of rhinoplasty. He makes the most complicated cases and techniques look simple and comprehensive. He is an extraordinarily didactic who shares joyfully his knowledge with the patience of a saint.
I have rarely learned so much expertise in such a short time and regret only not having participated earlier in this Fellowship.

Dear Professor Foda,

It was a tremendous pleasure to attend your course which I honestly recommend to anyone who is interested in rhinoplasty from beginners to experts.
I´m looking forward to let my patients in Germany profit from your intensive training.
I was pleasantly surprised with your patience and eagerness to teach in an invaluable hands-on fashion. Your course is amazing because of the great knowledge and skills one can learn from you.
Your exceptional personality made us work in a very friendly atmosphere and your kindness and hospitality were really touching.

Dear Prof. Hossam Foda

I have had great pleasure to attend the Alexandria 7th Rhinoplasty Fellowship. From first day till end of the fellowship, Prof. Foda was absolutely friendly and very interested in teaching us.
During 7 days we operated 14 cases- from simple primary rhinoplasties to very difficult revisions.
Before each rhinoplasty, Prof. Foda discussed with us the existing deformities and the surgical plan for each patient.
But the most important thing during this fellowship was hands-on training. It was truly 100% hands-on, I have never attended such a fantastic fellowship.
During surgery, Prof. Hossam delivered to us his personal technical knowledge about rhinoplasty. He allowed us to operate ourselves, under his supervision, on every patient. This fellowship is for beginners – like me and for experienced surgeons.
In the evenings Prof. Hossam invited us for dinners- it was good time to discuss everything in very relaxed pleasant atmosphere.

Dear Professor Foda,

Words would stand meaningless and thoughts will get blocked when it’s time to give my testimony about the Rhinoplasty fellowship conducted by your kind person in December 2015. You provided us with professionalism which was outstanding and your hospitality was unmatched. The way you operated made each Rhinoplasty look ridiculously easy and the way you taught made everything seem possible. I have been doing rhinoplasty in the past and I have attended my courses and lives surgery workshops, but your fellowship was totally another dimension to look at and another prospect to acquire when looking and dealing with a nose job.
I know thanks won’t be enough … but it is the least that can be said.

Dr. Hesham Yusuf HASAN
Head of ENT Department

Dear Dr. Foda,

This course has surpassed all expectations! Dr. Foda was very gracious, and shared unstintingly from his wealth of knowledge.
He provided a very logical stepwise approach to learning and operating on the nose – from dorsum, to nasal tip, to nasal alae. Most importantly, every maneuver was presented with the most concise technique to maximize efficiency and minimize risk. The patient selection could not be better; a straightforward primary rhinoplasty patient in the morning would alternate with a more complicated revision case in the afternoon, so that we could understand how not to make the primary mistake, and more importantly – how to fix the primary mistake. Under Dr. Foda’s watchful gaze, over the course of a week, and 12 live patients later, my colleagues and I grew in technical confidence and appreciation of the finer points of rhinoplasty. If you are a neophyte, this course will go a long way towards giving you confidence in your surgical know-how.
If you are experienced, you will become an even better, and more polished rhinoplasty surgeon. Lastly, the staff of Alex Specialized Hospital could not be more warm and accommodating, and the weather of Alexandria by the Mediterranean Sea was perfect in June.

Dear Dr. Foda

The Alexandria Rhinoplasty Fellowship in May 2014 was a very rich and rewarding experience. The warmth and hospitality of yourself and the whole OR team was really impressive. That friendly atmosphere helped a lot to make the fellowship a very worthwhile experience. Your approach to rhinoplasty was very structured and systematic and therefore is of great help to any surgeon aiming to improve his tactics. Thank you for answering every single question with what seems to be an endless reservoir of patience. Thank you very much Professor Foda for a week of not only a broad Rhinoplasty experience but also of cultural and incredibly awesome culinary insights.

I want to thank you for giving me and my fellow colleagues the chance of working in the OR with you. It was a great experience, as you are both an excellent and gifted surgeon and a very patient teacher, guiding each of us through the various steps of rhinoplasty. It was very interesting to see your efficient approach to primary and secondary rhinoplasties.

Also I would like to thank all your team, who has been very friendly and helpful for us both inside and outside the OR.

It was a great pleasure to get to know the ancient and beautiful city of Alexandria with its millenary history and its fresh Mediterranean Sea breeze.

Thank you so much for your hospitality and for everything that you taught us.

I would recommend this course to every surgeon who wants to refine his or her skills in rhinoplasty.

It was a great pleasure to spend one week with you with hands-on training on rhinoplasty. I have enjoyed both the surgery and the teaching. Your systematic and standardized operations adapted to each patient have impressed me. That makes rhinoplasty more understandable and easier for me. One could not get enough and one would like to spend more time in your course. I was also impressed by your perfectionism and your attention to details after so many years and large number of rhinoplasties.

I have also to thank your whole team in theatre who gave us a very pleasant atmosphere. I would recommend to anyone who wants to step a bit further in rhinoplasty to attend your course.

An unparalleled learning experience for the established rhinoplasty surgeon, with “hands on” surgery as first and second assistant and apprentice surgeon being taken through steps of the open rhinoplasty procedure.

Professor Hossam Foda is a gifted surgeon with a very accurate eye and manual skills to match.

His aesthetic goals for natural & harmonious noses are keenly developed and enviable.
His standards are high and so are the demands he makes on himself.

The operation is not finished until he is totally satisfied. He knows every surgical maneuver to refine every nuance in the nose.

But above all this, he is a born teacher .  .  . His ability, whilst in full operational mode to explain, demonstrate, and highlight the finesse of his craft makes him in my long experience unique.

Dear Hossam,

I really wanted you to know Hossam, how much we enjoyed our stay in Alexandria. When we joined your fellowship we knew about you as an excellent surgeon and nothing about Hossam Foda the man. Now that I have had the most intensive and proof training experience in rhinoplasty in my life I can surely say that was the “man” Hossam, that impressed me beyond the excellent surgeon. Thank You for the dedication and the love for such a difficult matter that you transmitted to us. Thank You for the kindness and elegance You used in dealing with us, this has made us feel much more than  just colleagues for the whole week.
Remember you have got a friend here waiting for you anytime and ready to show you how beautiful Rome is.

Thank You again my friend, take care

Dear Hossam,

The fellowship was fantastic and we all learnt a lot. I did an open rhinoplasty yesterday and applied some of the principles you taught us. I am optimistic about the results.

Hossam, when I first heard your lecture in Milan I was left with a deep impression.  I was very impressed by your systematic and careful analysis of the various deformities. When you mentioned you had a fellowship, I knew, I wanted to participate. On coming to Alexandria, I have been further impressed by your craft, skill and dedication for your patients. You are also very humble and it is easy to have a discussion with you in the full knowledge of Rhinoplasty.

For me, the other important observation is the respect you have for your patients. You do everything to uphold the faith they have in you. This makes you a compassionate and caring doctor.
Hossam, I feel fortunate to know you and thank God that I have found an excellent teacher. You have welcomed us with open arms and it is something I cannot pay back but I can learn from the standards that you set.

God bless you and thank you once again.

Dear Hossam,

Please allow me to thank you for the most interesting, educational and inspiring course I have ever attended. It was truly a fantastic week. I am sure that, very shortly, it will become one of the most successful and famous rhinoplasty courses worldwide.

Just to remind you that we will be very grateful if you could add our names (Safwan Bazerbachi and Milad Bittar) to any of your courses in 2014 or 2015.

Hope to see you in the near future..

Dear Dr. Foda,

I found the Egyptian city of Alexandria in all its specific splendor and rumor and the course was held in excellent technical conditions with a professional, friendly and very well organized team.

Hands-on Surgical training is a correct and comprehensible start-up for beginners and a major catalyst for experienced in open rhinoplasty.

I am convinced that this course is ” a must have” for every rhinoplasty surgeon.

Dear Prof Foda,

I would like to convey my congratulations to your well organized workshop to the recent fellowship operative days April 2012. I am very grateful for the interest you have shown in our work and I recognize the contributions you make in helping us to maintain the skill in rhinoplasty.

During our visit in Alexandria the courses had been valued and I shall do my best to follow your professional advices.

Therefore I have recommended you to all who are interested in this work as an excellent trainer and well-liked by both staff and patients.

Thank you for your hospitality and helpful workshop so generously given.
