Are cosmetic procedures (on the face, I guess) within the scope of practice of an otolaryngologist?

Fah-Q said:In the area of the country I'm in, ENT does the majority (~75%) of facial cosmetics/reconstruction. A general plastics fellowship doesn't provide much training on the face. They generally focus on burns, hand, breast recon, extremity free flaps, etc. ENT's just work with the face more...but obviously don't do general, full-body plastics.

I thought there were no required minimal numbers for Plastics. What are the numbers you're referring to?GSresident said:I think that depends on where you train in general plastics. I'm <6 weeks into my fellowship and I have filled my numbers on rhino's and facelifts. In practice I have never seen a general surgery/general plastics trained plastic surgeon who didn't do facial work.

I completely disagree with The Throat. .
Sorry to hurt your Throat-loving feelings. I agree with you quite readily that Throat's posts are very useful and typically right on the money, I think he just jumped the gun on the one above.
I make no claim to be anything as great as a long-time respected poster. Just throwing in my useless 2 cents without being asked whenever I can now that I'm here.
