Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Bell's Palsy

Bell's palsy is sudden, usually one-sided facial weakness caused by inflammation of the facial nerve, often with incomplete eye closure and a drooping mouth that frequently improves over weeks to months.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Bilateral Facial Paralysis

Bilateral facial paralysis is weakness of both sides of the face at once, an uncommon pattern that often signals an underlying systemic, neurologic, or infectious condition requiring careful evaluation.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Broken Nose

A nasal fracture can affect appearance, breathing or both; early assessment checks for displacement, septal injury and a septal hematoma.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Chin Dimpling

Chin dimpling is the pebbled or orange-peel texture and puckering of the chin that appears when the mentalis muscle is overactive or the chin skin and soft tissue change over time.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Congenital Facial Paralysis

Congenital facial paralysis is facial weakness present from birth, caused by underdevelopment or injury of the facial nerve or muscles, which can affect eye closure, feeding, and the ability to smile.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Deviated Septum

A deviated septum is one of several structural or inflammatory causes of nasal obstruction, each identified so treatment targets the real source.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Ectropion

Ectropion is an outward turning of the lower eyelid that pulls it away from the eye, causing tearing, irritation, dryness, and exposure of the eye surface.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Entropion

Entropion is an inward turning of the eyelid that causes the lashes and lid skin to rub against the eye, leading to irritation, tearing, and, if untreated, possible damage to the cornea.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Facial Laxity

Facial laxity is the gradual loosening and descent of facial skin and soft tissue with age, which can soften the jawline, deepen folds, and contribute to a tired or heavy appearance.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Facial Paralysis After Stroke

Facial weakness after a stroke affects movement on one side of the face and can change the smile, speech, and eating; rehabilitation and selected procedures may help restore function and symmetry.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Facial Paralysis

Facial paralysis affects eye closure, smile, speech, eating, and symmetry. Care is individualized and focused on protecting the eye, identifying the cause, and restoring function.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Facial Schwannoma

A facial schwannoma is a rare, usually benign tumor that grows from the sheath of the facial nerve and can cause gradual facial weakness, twitching, or hearing changes depending on its location.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Facial Trauma

Facial trauma includes injuries to the soft tissue and bones of the face from falls, sports, assaults, or accidents, ranging from cuts and nasal fractures to complex injuries that affect breathing, vision, or the bite.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Facial Tumors

Facial tumors are growths of the skin and soft tissues of the face that may be benign or cancerous; evaluation aims to determine the diagnosis and to plan treatment that preserves function and appearance.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Lower Eyelid Retraction

Lower eyelid retraction is a downward pull of the lower eyelid that exposes more of the white of the eye, leaving the eye surface dry and irritated and sometimes affecting comfort and appearance.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Nasal Septal Perforation

A septal perforation is an opening through the wall between the nasal passages; not every perforation causes symptoms or requires surgery.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Nasal Valve Collapse

The nasal valve is the narrowest part of the nasal airway, where weakness, scarring or narrowing can cause obstruction that often worsens with breathing.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Ptosis

Ptosis is drooping of the upper eyelid that can affect appearance and, when the eyelid covers part of the pupil, the upper field of vision.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Puffy Eyelids

Puffy eyelids describe fullness or swelling of the upper or lower lids, often from excess skin, prolapsing fat, fluid, or allergy rather than a single cause.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Synkinesis

Synkinesis is unwanted, involuntary facial movement, such as the eye narrowing when smiling, that can develop months after facial nerve injury as nerves heal along mismatched pathways.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Turbinate Hypertrophy

Enlarged inferior turbinates can contribute to chronic nasal blockage; treatment aims to reduce excess bulk while preserving normal function.

Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Vestibular Schwannoma-Related Facial Weakness

Rhinology and Skull Base

Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease

Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) combines asthma, recurrent nasal polyps with chronic sinusitis, and respiratory reactions to aspirin and other NSAIDs, often causing severe, hard-to-control sinus inflammation.

Rhinology and Skull Base

Chronic rhinitis is long-lasting inflammation or irritation of the nasal lining that causes ongoing congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and postnasal drip from allergic or non-allergic triggers.

Rhinology and Skull Base

Chronic Sinusitis

Chronic rhinosinusitis is ongoing nose and sinus inflammation, confirmed by symptoms plus objective findings, and treated with individualized care.

Rhinology and Skull Base

CSF Leak

A CSF leak occurs when cerebrospinal fluid escapes through a defect in the skull base, often causing clear, watery nasal drainage and raising the risk of meningitis if it is not addressed.

Rhinology and Skull Base

Epistaxis and Nosebleeds

Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, ranges from minor bleeding at the front of the nose to less common, heavier bleeding from the back; most are easily managed, but recurrent or severe bleeding deserves evaluation.

Rhinology and Skull Base

Fungal Sinusitis

Fungal sinusitis covers several conditions in which fungus contributes to sinus disease, ranging from mild, noninvasive forms to rare invasive infections that require urgent treatment.

Rhinology and Skull Base

Inverted Papilloma and Sinonasal Tumors

Inverted papilloma and other sinonasal tumors are growths in the nose and sinuses that are often benign but can behave aggressively or, less commonly, become cancerous, so they require specialist evaluation and usually surgery.

Rhinology and Skull Base

Loss of Smell

Loss of smell, or olfactory dysfunction, is a reduced or absent sense of smell that can follow viral infection, nasal and sinus inflammation, head injury, or aging, and often warrants evaluation to find a treatable cause.

Rhinology and Skull Base

Nasal and Sinus Cancer

Nasal and sinus cancer is a rare malignancy of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses that often causes persistent one-sided nasal blockage, bleeding, or facial pressure and needs prompt specialist evaluation.

Rhinology and Skull Base

Sleep

Circadian Rhythm Disorder

Circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders occur when the body's internal clock is out of sync with the desired sleep schedule, causing trouble falling asleep or staying awake at the right times.

Sleep

CPAP Intolerance

CPAP intolerance often has a treatable cause, especially nasal obstruction from a deviated septum, turbinate swelling, or nasal valve collapse. An ENT evaluation looks for correctable reasons CPAP feels uncomfortable.

Sleep

Sleep Disordered Breathing

Sleep-disordered breathing is a spectrum of abnormal breathing during sleep, ranging from snoring to obstructive sleep apnea, that can disrupt rest and affect daytime function and long-term health.

Sleep

Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis is a chronic inflammatory sinus disease with nasal polyps and thick allergic mucin, distinct from invasive fungal infection.

Rhinology and Skull Base

Sphenoid Sinus Disease

The sphenoid sinus sits deep in the head near critical nerves and vessels, so disease there can cause atypical symptoms and deserves careful evaluation.

Rhinology and Skull Base

Frontal Sinus Disease

The frontal sinuses drain through a narrow, complex pathway, so frontal disease can be persistent and sometimes needs specialized surgical care.

Rhinology and Skull Base

Sinus Mucocele

A sinus mucocele is an expanding, mucus-filled pocket in a blocked sinus that can press on the eye or skull base and usually needs drainage.
