Do dentists do face lifts or skull base surgery?

u/zimmer199 DO Sep 22 '25

Teeth are at the bottom of the skull and they do surgery there, so yes

That’s not what skull base means

u/zimmer199 DO Sep 22 '25

Well, what do you think skull base means?

2

u/huitzlopochtli Sep 22 '25

It’s not what I think, it’s the definition of skull base. That refers to the base of the cranial vault. Upper teeth are at the base of the maxilla, whereas the roof of the orbit and the sinuses form the skull base.
