Summary of the CNN Interview with Dr. Roger El Khoury.

"We are very busy at this time of year -- we work like restaurants, when everyone is on vacation, we're working," Roger El Khoury, head surgeon at the Beirut Beauty Clinic, told CNN.

"Every holiday period is busy; people prefer to come here during their vacations, mainly for privacy or secrecy problems."

El Khoury said his clinic has experienced a 25 percent increase in foreign patients over the past 12 months with clients arriving from other Arab countries in the Gulf and North Africa. There is also huge demand from Lebanese expatriates, he says.

According to El Khoury the procedure most requested by foreign clients is rhinoplasty -- nose jobs -- of which he completes about 200 per year. He says Lebanon's appeal for would-be patients is the affordability of its surgeons and its convenient location.
