Facial Plastic Surgery
A series of procedures that are commonly done by otolaryngologist or head
and neck surgeons, or ear, nose and throat surgeons who have extensive experience
and training. There is varied training throughout the country in otolaryngology
residency programs and some otolaryngologists are comfortable doing these
procedures on a regular basis. The most common procedure done by an otolaryngologist

shall discuss each of them in detail in the following text:
