ENT surgery, also known as Otolaryngology, encompasses a wide range of surgical procedures involving the ears, nose, and throat. It addresses various medical conditions and aesthetic concerns related to these areas. Three common ENT procedures are rhinoplasty, facelift, and otoplasty.
Rhinoplasty: Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job, is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping or reconstructing the nose. It can address aesthetic concerns such as a crooked nose, bumps, or asymmetry, as well as functional issues like breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum or nasal deformities.
Facelift: Facelift, technically known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face and neck. It involves tightening the underlying facial tissues, removing excess skin, and repositioning the skin to reduce sagging and wrinkles. Although not exclusive to the ENT field, some ENT surgeons may perform facelifts to address aging-related changes in the lower face and neck area.
Otoplasty: Otoplasty, also known as ear reshaping surgery, is a procedure performed to correct the shape, position, or proportion of the ears. It can address concerns such as protruding ears, oversized earlobes, or irregular ear shape. Otoplasty aims to create a more balanced and natural appearance of the ears, improving both aesthetics and self-confidence.
These ENT procedures, including rhinoplasty, facelift, and otoplasty, are typically performed by skilled ENT surgeons who have specialized training in these areas. It's important to consult with a qualified surgeon to discuss your specific concerns, expectations, and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your individual needs.

F.A.Q.
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct a deviated septum, which is a condition where the nasal septum is off-center or crooked. It is recommended for individuals who experience difficulty breathing, chronic nasal congestion, or recurrent sinus infections due to a deviated septum.
Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure to repair a perforated eardrum. It is performed to improve hearing, prevent middle ear infections, and restore the integrity of the eardrum.
Sinus surgery refers to various procedures aimed at treating chronic sinusitis or sinus-related problems. It may involve removing nasal polyps, clearing blocked sinuses, or correcting structural abnormalities that obstruct sinus drainage.
Laryngoscopy is a procedure used to examine the larynx (voice box) and vocal cords. It can help diagnose voice disorders, hoarseness, swallowing difficulties, or detect abnormalities such as polyps or nodules on the vocal cords. Laryngoscopy can be done with a flexible or rigid scope, depending on the specific situation.
