What is a Facial Plastic Surgeon?

A Facial Plastic Surgeon does not perform plastic procedures below the neck. A particular strength of the subspecialty facial plastic surgery is that experts from different areas combine their skill and artistry to bring the best possible care, knowledge, and treatment to the patient. Given that it is extremely difficult to excel at all of the surgeries included in the repertoire of a General Cosmetic surgeon, a Facial Plastic Surgeon will usually perform only surgeries of the head and neck in order to perfect his/her abilities in this area. Dr. Deirdre is a member of the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, and is a teacher at the London Facial Plastic Surgery Course and also the St George’s London Rhinoplasty Course.
