Question:
What are the advantages of having a surgeon who is both an otolaryngologist and a facial plastic surgeon perform my rhinoplasty? Answer:
As in any surgical procedure you seek out, I advise you to choose a surgeon in your area who is experienced, provides good postoperative results, takes excellent care of their patients, and has a good professional reputation. Patients requesting rhinoplasty surgery often suffer from nasal obstruction and/or chronic sinus issues. As a board certified facial plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist, I always address these issues with my patients. CT scanning of the sinuses may reveal if there are any other problems present. If recommended, sinus surgery and nasal airway relief procedures can be performed at the same time as rhinoplasty. This is a significant advantage in choosing a surgeon who is both an otolaryngologist and facial plastic surgeon in performing your surgery. |
