Facial plastic surgery-otolaryngology responds to Sullivan inquest findings.
The CIFPS members are individuals who have demonstrated competency to perform facial plastic surgical procedures. It is in the public interest that the public be aware of the various specialties performing facial plastic surgery, and that several specialties confine their training and interest to a particular region. The term "facial plastic surgery--otolaryngology" accurately and truthfully defines the practice and expertise of the otolaryngologist performing cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgery. It is in the interest of the medical community and the public that this term be recognized.
