Facial cosmetic surgery can be performed by a cosmetic surgeon or an appropriately trained ENT surgeon. An ENT surgeon is an ENT specialist who has undergone specialist training in performing ear, nose and throat surgeries, which includes some types of facial cosmetic surgery.
Before undergoing any type of cosmetic surgery procedure, patients need to have realistic expectations of what can be achieved through it. They should discuss the procedure being considered thoroughly with their cosmetic or ENT surgeon, before making a decision on whether to proceed further.
Below are some of the cosmetic surgery procedures which are commonly performed by appropriately trained ENT surgeons:
• Rhinoplasty: This procedure is performed to enhance the appearance of a patient’s nose. Depending on the case, the ENT surgeon may remove bumps on the bridge, change the size of the patient’s nose, or alter the projection of the tip. In some cases, an appropriately trained ENT specialist may use injectable substances, rather than surgical techniques, to refine a patient’s nose.
• Otoplasty: Through this procedure, an ENT surgeon can ‘pin back’ protruding ears, as well as reshape ears, change their size, or make them more symmetrical. At the consultation stage, the structure of the ears will be examined, before various options for correcting the problem are discussed with the patient.
• Eyebrow lifts: This surgery is usually requested to elevate dropping eyebrows, though it can also be used for softening wrinkles on the forehead. In some cases, an ENT specialist may use anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers, in addition to surgery, to give the patient a more youthful look.
• Blepharoplasty: Also referred to as an eyelid lift, this surgery generally involves the removal of bags, wrinkles, and excess skin around the upper and lower eyelids. It often makes a patient look more rejuvenated by reducing puffiness around the eyes.
• Lip surgery: This surgery is typically performed, either to increase or reduce the size of the lips. In lip reduction surgeries, tissue is removed from the lips. While in lip augmentation surgeries, an ENT surgeon may use implants to give the lips a fuller appearance.
