Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

The specialty of facial plastic surgery includes surgical and non-surgical solutions for improving
the appearance of the face.  Aesthetic or cosmetic facial plastic surgery includes procedures and
treatments to counter the effects of aging or to change something that you do not like about
your face.  Reconstructive  facial plastic surgery includes procedures to improve nasal breathing,
to change or remove birth defects, and to correct defects caused by trauma, skin cancer or more
serious conditions.

A large percentage of all facial plastic and reconstructive surgery is performed by board-certified 
Otolaryngologists, such as those at advanced ENT, whose rigorous training in the complicated
head and neck area includes extensive experience with facial plastic surgery techniques.  Many
otolaryngologists are also certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgery which is the only board that sets standards, examines and certifies surgeons exclusively
in this specialty. Fellowship training and board certification are benchmarks of excellence,
indicating that a surgeon has received extensive training in the specialty and has passed an
exhaustive battery of written and oral exams. The physicians at Advanced ENT can answer your
questions related to facial plastic surgery and guide you in your decisions about surgical or non-
surgical options.
