Dr Debraj Shome: International Training in Facial Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery
Facial Plastic Surgery is a burgeoning super-specialty in India but is currently in high demand in the USA. Currently, the majority of facial surgeries in the US are performed by this particular group of plastic surgeons, who are super-specialized in surgeries of the lacrimal, orbital, facial & peri-ocular tissues. As these surgeons have been trained specifically in plastic surgery of the face & practice exclusively on the face, the end results of all facial surgeries tend to be better than those of general plastic surgeons who operate all over the body.
