BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., April 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, chairman and director of the CENTER for Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery, has written an article that explores the roles and challenges of facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons (FPRS) during pandemics. The article comes during the global novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which has created uncertainty across the health-care system.

Local, state, and government agencies have implemented "stay at home" restrictions and encouraged social distancing due to COVID-19. These efforts are intended to help slow the spread of COVID-19, but many FPRS now feel displaced and unsure of how to help those in need.

If we prioritize physician safety, the care of our patients, and public health needs, we can do our part to combat the spread of the coronavirus

Post this

As a globally recognized FPRS, Dr. Azizzadeh performs surgical and non-surgical procedures to help patients correct functional and cosmetic issues. With the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Azizzadeh's role has changed, and new challenges have developed. In his article, Dr. Azizzadeh examines the evolving roles and challenges of FPRS during the COVID-19 pandemic and offers recommendations to help FPRS support patients and others throughout the crisis.

Most FPRS perform "aerosol-generating" procedures and surgeries such as nasal/sinus surgery, intubation, tracheostomies, and flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopies that put them at increased risk of contracting COVID-19, according to Dr. Azizzadeh. As such, FPRS have an ethical responsibility to limit unnecessary contact with patients and others to lower the risk of inadvertently spreading the coronavirus.

In addition, non-essential services have been banned in many states, and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery recommend surgeons stop performing any elective or non-essential procedures until the COVID-19 pandemic passes. This has forced FPRS to consider which procedures are essential, Dr. Azizzadeh states, and conserve personal protective equipment and medical resources.

FPRS must also evaluate their role as physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Azizzadeh points out. These surgeons are trained in facial plastics, otolaryngology—head and neck surgery, and general surgery, and they should feel empowered to use their unique expertise to assist those in need during this challenging time.

"There are many things that FPRS can do to help our patients and others during the COVID-19 pandemic," Dr. Azizzadeh says. "If we prioritize physician safety, the care of our patients, and public health needs, we can do our part to combat the spread of the coronavirus."

Dr. Azizzadeh's new article has been published in Facial Plastic & Aesthetic Medicine, and it is available to read here.
