Cosmetic surgery is not a closely guarded area of medicine which is why it earned the reputation as the “wild west of medicine.” This is the reason why basically anyone with a medical license can perform rhinoplasty, or any cosmetic procedure, for that matter. This leads to the question on who is much better in performing nose surgery, an ENT surgeon or a Cosmetic surgeon?
Otolaryngoligists are also known as ear, nose, and throat specialists. They are experts particularly on specific anatomical features of the face and neck. These professionals are fully trained and they are qualified to perform surgery above the shoulders.
These doctors received broad training on the basic anatomy and physiology of the ears, nose and throat making them well-versed on facial cosmetic surgery as general cosmetic surgeons.
Rhinoplasty is a delicate procedure that would require extensive training and experience plus a good aesthetic sense of beauty. Both ENT surgeons and cosmetic surgeons received training on nose surgery, but it is the experience these doctors have in their practice that makes the difference. Some perform more rhinoplasty procedures, while others barely do it at all.
That is why it is essential that you know how many cases and how often a cosmetic surgeon or ENT surgeon performs rhinoplasty. For instance you may have encountered some functional problems and you also want to improve the aesthetic look you would want to enlist the services of a doctor who is trained and experienced in both these areas. Preferably it should be someone with an ENT background and facial cosmetic surgery training.
But according to most surgeons it will be more favorable for patients if a cosmetic surgeon is experienced and skilled. They also add that the expertise in rhinoplasty can be found either in a cosmetic surgeon, an ENT surgeon or a facial cosmetic surgeon.
It is also possible that any of these special areas may have surgeons who are not particularly skilled and experienced in rhinoplasty. That is why it is necessary that you look around and do your part in researching as to who as to who is most appropriate to perform the procedure.
It is best that you not only get one opinion, but rather approach a number of surgeons to know other opinions and see which of these suits you well.
