Abstract

Performance of facial aesthetic surgeries except rhinoplasty in otorlarygoloic department is not usual in South Korea. However, otolaryngologic doctors have been performing facial surgeries, thus, their knowledge of facial surgical anatomy is better than that of other doctors. For this reason, otolaryngologic doctors should study hard in order to learn about performance of facial aesthetic surgeries. Recently, in South Korea, because many facial aesthetic surgeries have been performed, many complications have been reported and facial aesthetic surgery techniques have been developed rapidly. Herein, I would like to introduce some facial aesthetic and reconstructive techniques that are not usually performed in the otolaryngologic department in South Korea.
