I was wondering what the difference is between an ear nose and throat doctor and a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon? Can my ENT do my nose job ok if I went to him for a deviated septum?
**Note from RealSelf** Our site is designed to help consumers make confident choices and the below answers have lost this spirit.
To see the criteria RealSelf uses to list a doctor as a Facial Plastic Surgeon, please visit our Professional Policies. Doctors listed as a 'Facial Plastic Surgeon' on RealSelf are eligible to discuss treatments and procedures for any "neck-up" procedures, including those of the face, ear, nose and throat areas. As always, consumers should do their due-diligence in researching an individual doctors experience and credentials when choosing their surgeon.
An otolaryngologist/head & neck surgeon is trained to operate on all structures in the head and neck excluding brains, spines, and eyeballs (in a nutshell). 25% of the board certification exam for otolaryngologists covers facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. The term "ENT" is an abbreviation for an otolaryngologist.
Facial plastic & reconstructive surgeons can become board certified as such in one of two ways. First, they can complete an accredited fellowship focusing in FPRS only for at least one year following completion of EITHER an "ENT" or plastic surgery residency. They must then complete an oral and written board exam and submit a case log of at least 1 1/2 years of procedures performed to establish competence. Alternatively, board-certified "ENTs" or plastic surgeons that do not complete a fellowship must submit a more extensive case log and pass the same exams.
Hope that helps.
Hi, I am going for a primary consultation for rhinoplasty. Is it frowned upon to bring photos of noses I like to a consult? Obviously, it is not going to look exactly like another persons nose, but does it help a surgeon as a guideline?
In general, it is always better to communicate more, rather than less with your rhinoplasty surgeon. Photos are a good way to further the conversation. A qualified surgeon can counsel you as to what is appropriate to expect after surgery after a careful examination. Your bone structure, skin thickness, cartilage quality and size all play a role in what can and should be done to give you your best result. Good luck!
What Type of Pre Op Testing is Needed for a Rhinoplasty? Blood Work? Ekg?
Your doctor will decide all pre-op testing. Such decisions are based on many factors, including your medical history, age, and length of surgery.
