Facial Plastic Surgery in Montgomery AL

Cosmetic Procedures performed with care and expertise by Dr. Nizam

What is in a name? Many specialties perform cosmetic surgeries on the face; plastic surgeons (PRS), oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMS), otolaryngologists (ENT), and even oculoplastic surgeons. Plastic surgeons typically perform cosmetic enhancements of the body and face, while OMS, ENT, and oculoplastic surgeons typically specialize in just the face due to their background in training in this anatomic region.

All of these specialties will typically pursue fellowship training after residency in cosmetic surgery if they wish to offer cosmetic procedures to their patients. For example, OMS and oculoplastic surgeons may undergo fellowships in facial cosmetic surgery, ENTs may undergo training in facial plastic surgery, and plastic surgeons looking to enhance their skills on the face may undergo aesthetic or craniofacial fellowships. This list is by no means exhaustive and many other routes and specialties are available.

The second question that typically arises is the difference between cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery. Cosmetic surgery typically refers to just aesthetic and rejuvenating surgery, whereas plastic surgery typically also encompasses a reconstructive component. Neither is right or wrong and both are merely terms used to describe procedures performed.

As an OMS, Sami A. Nizam, II, MD, DMD has completed both dental school and medical school, a year of general surgery, residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery, and a cosmetic surgery fellowship. He holds dual board certification in both oral and maxillofacial surgery and facial cosmetic surgery.

Due to his background, Dr. Nizam is able to offer a unique approach to facial rejuvenation including all layers of the face, from the underlying facial skeleton to the skin on top. This allows the most natural and harmonious results.

Dr. Nizam offers a full complement of facial cosmetic surgery procedures, including facelifts, rhinoplasty, and blepharoplasty, as well as reconstructive procedures after facial trauma. Together with his wife and physician associate Lily, you will be provided an in-depth consultation assessing your face from top to bottom.

With her medical spa experience from New York, Lily is able to offer a unique female viewpoint harnessing minimally invasive treatments. As stated prior, our philosophy is natural facial rejuvenation, and doing this requires combining procedures that act synergistically to provide long-lasting balance and beauty.
