A facial plastic surgeon specialises in Facial Trauma, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery of the face, head and neck only. They commonly perform procedures relating to the eyes, ears, nose, neck, face, chin and skin. Just like a plastic surgeon, a facial plastic surgeon in India is a fully qualified Otorhinolaryngologist who has gone on to do further training allowing them to specialise in surgery of the face.
Many aspects of plastic and reconstructive surgery are performed by members of ISFARO depending upon the training and interests of the individual surgeon. The surgery performed falls into several categories:
- Traumatic deformities, including primary and secondary repair of both soft tissue and skeletal injuries.
- Aesthetic procedures including blepharoplasty, forehead lift, facelift, otoplasty, rhinoplasty, dermabrasion, facial chemical peels, and removal of blemishes.
