What do Facial Plastic Surgery Otolaryngologists do?

Facial plastic otolaryngologists are medical doctors who specialize in both otolaryngology (ENT) and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. 

They perform a wide range of procedures, from functional and reconstructive surgeries (such as those for cancer, trauma, or congenital disabilities) to cosmetic procedures (such as facelifts, rhinoplasty, and eyelid lifts). Their expertise also includes treating conditions like facial nerve paralysis and skin aging.
