Why Should an Oral Surgeon Perform Cosmetic Surgery?

When considering facial cosmetic surgery, most people think of dermatologists or plastic surgeons. However, oral surgeon Dr. Bradley Hammond is uniquely qualified to perform facial aesthetic procedures thanks to his extensive training and dual focus on form and function and his extensive training beyond oral surgery. Dr. Hammond has completed an additional three years of specialized training in facial cosmetic surgery and received his medical degree, achieving the rare distinction of being an oral surgeon, physician, and cosmetic facial surgeon.

The Overlap of Function & Aesthetics

Facial cosmetic procedures are not just about looking better; they also affect how your face moves, functions, and expresses emotion. Oral surgeons are trained to consider aesthetics and function in every procedure. Whether correcting asymmetry, restoring volume, or refining contours, they approach cosmetic surgery to enhance beauty and preserve (or improve) essential functions such as speech, breathing, and chewing.

Specialized Training in Facial Anatomy

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons undergo years of surgical and hospital-based residency training, which includes in-depth study of the head, neck, jaw, and facial structures. This background makes them experts in facial anatomy—muscles, nerves, bone, and soft tissues—giving them a deep understanding of how all components of the face work together. Their training extends beyond the surface, which is critical for safe and precise cosmetic outcomes.

Surgical Precision & Safety

Facial cosmetic procedures require an exacting hand and a deep respect for surrounding structures. Oral surgeons operate in some of the body’s most complex and delicate regions. Their extensive experience with anesthesia, sterile surgical environments, and post-operative care ensures that procedures are performed safely and with minimal risk.

As an oral surgeon, Dr. Hammond has performed every oral and maxillofacial surgery, from routine wisdom teeth removal to plastic surgery following facial trauma. His precision and skill in working with the complexities of the facial region are unmatched in the Surprise, AZ, area.

Ideal Candidates for Cosmetic Procedures with an Oral Surgeon

Not every patient is a good candidate for facial cosmetic surgery, but many can benefit from the unique skill set of an oral surgeon, including:

• Individuals seeking subtle, balanced changes to facial features
• Patients needing both functional and aesthetic improvement (e.g., after trauma or jaw surgery)
• Those interested in surgical alternatives to injectable fillers
• Adults with aging concerns such as volume loss, sagging, or wrinkles
• People who prioritize safety and surgical expertise over drastic changes in appearance

A consultation with Dr. Hammond is the best way to determine whether cosmetic facial surgery is appropriate for your needs and goals.

Why See an Oral Surgeon for Botox?

Botox and dermal fillers are two facial treatments often sought by patients who would like to look younger or reduce fine lines or wrinkles. While these are often available through Med Spas, Dr. Hammond also offers them through his oral surgery practice for patients who prefer these minimally invasive techniques to cosmetic surgery.

While med spa providers may offer similar services, most do not have the same medical or surgical training as an oral surgeon. Dr. Hammond possesses a deep understanding of facial anatomy, surgical technique, and patient safety—ensuring a higher level of care and results that go beyond surface-level aesthetics.

Choosing an oral surgeon like Dr. Hammond for facial cosmetic procedures offers a powerful blend of medical precision, artistic vision, and anatomical expertise. If you want safe and stunning facial enhancements, Dr. Hammond is the perfect specialist to bring your vision to life.
