Pinnaplasty – A Popular Form of Facial Plastics
Plastic surgery is becoming increasingly popular in the United Kingdom. Statistics from the London-based British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons have shown that demand for these procedures continues to increase, despite recent economic downturns. Facial plastics, or cosmetic surgeries which affect the face, are especially big at the moment. Some of the most popular facial cosmetic surgeries include rhinoplasty, soft tissue facial plastics and pinnaplasty. These surgeries are frequently offered by ENT Surgeon.
Facial plastics are growing in prevalence for a number of reasons. Whether you live in London or Timbuktu, your face is one of the most important parts of your body. It plays a crucial role in determining how people think of you. Unlike other body parts, it is never covered with clothing. It is always out there, for everyone to see. It's no wonder that people who feel that their face is poorly-balanced or unattractive are drawn to facial plastics.
Rhinoplasty (also called nose surgery) is one of the most popular types of facial plastics. This surgery changes the shape of the nose in order to make it more appealing. This surgery is becoming increasingly common here in London. Information from the BAAPS states that from 2008 to 2009, the number of rhinoplasties performed in the United Kingdom increased by 25%.
Because the form and the function of the nose are so integrally connected, an ENT surgeon is often a good choice when it comes to rhinoplasty. An ear nose and throat specialist has an intimate understanding of how the nose works. This enables him to improve nasal appearance and function simultaneously. If you have a nasal disorder like a deviated septum, your ENT specialist may be able to fix that problem at the same time as your rhinoplasty.
Soft tissue facial plastics are another popular form of surgery here in London. Unlike rhinoplasty, soft tissue facial plastics don't operate on bone. Rather, they mostly affect the skin. Their primary use is to remove unsightly blemishes like moles. A large mole can detract from even the best-formed place. A skilled surgeon can remove moles without causing obvious scars or pockmarks. Although this surgery does not directly affect the ears, nose or throat, it is common for an ENT specialist to perform it.
Pinnaplasty is another popular form of facial plastics. Having overly prominent ears can be somewhat embarrassing. Large ears and protruding ears can draw a lot of attention to themselves. This surgery moves the ears back closer to the head, reshapes them and makes them fit better with the face as a whole. This procedure is another one which an ear nose and throat specialist is well-suited to perform.
