Patient Question:
Can you explain the term Facial Plastic Surgery?
Dr Solomon’s Answer:
Dr Solomon who is certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic Surgery and certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Otolaryngology.
Facial Plastic Surgery refers to Reconstructive and Cosmetic Plastic Surgery procedures within the face and neck. Aesthetic Facial plastic surgery is structural cosmetic surgery including changing the shape structures within the face including the nose, ears, jaw, cheekbones and neckline, and rejuvenative facial plastic surgery which includes procedures that will reverse the signs of aging. Reconstructive Facial Plastic surgery is the correction of congenital, traumatic and post surgical deformities as well as skin cancer reconstruction.
In Canada and the United States Facial Plastic Surgery is performed by Facial Plastic Surgeons which are subspecialists in the field of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery and trained in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face and neck only. Also General Plastic Surgeons who are trained in plastic surgery throughout the body may perform facial plastic surgical procedures as part of their practice. Finally Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons perform facial Plastic surgical procedures related to the jaw.
