Types of Facial Plastic Surgery
Facial plastic surgery is a branch of surgery that is concerned with the correction and restoration of facial features, skin and hair. The word ‘plastic’ comes from the Greek word ‘plasticos’, meaning to mould or shape. Thus, facial plastic surgery is the surgical process through which the facial features are moulded into a more desirable shape; ideally by a qualified plastic or ENT surgeon. Facial plastic surgery is commonly performed for both cosmetic and reconstructive reasons and for the treatment of burns.
ENT London is one of UK’s premier private ENT Clinics and specialises in facial plastic surgery. All our ENT surgeons are highly qualified and registered with the General Medical Council. Over the years, ENT London has developed an outstanding reputation because of its usage of advanced surgical techniques and strong commitment to patient care.
Common facial plastic surgeries include:
• Rhinoplasty: Also sometimes referred to simply as a 'nose job'; rhinoplasty involves reshaping the nose to a more desirable size and shape.
• Otoplasty: This procedure consists of reshaping the ears to a more preferable size and shape. Otoplasty is commonly performed to correct the appearance of protruding ears by bringing them closer to the head.
• Rhytidectomy: Also called a face lift, this procedure involves the use of surgery to remove wrinkles, elevate eyebrows and tighten cheeks.
• Chin augmentation: Involves increasing in the size of the chin with implants, soft tissue or genioplasty of the jawbone.
• Lip enhancement: The aesthetic procedure is performed to increase the fullness of the lips.
• Orthognathic surgery: This procedure involves changing the shape of certain facial features through controlled fracturing of facial bones.
• Cheek augmentation: The cheeks are made plumper with implants or soft tissue to provide a more youthful look.
Facial plastic surgery can also be used to remove facial moles, treat scars and reduce the appearance of age spots.
