Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

Otolaryngology (ENT Surgery)6
Tonsillectomy / AdenoidectomyThe tonsils and sometimes the adenoids are removed for repeated infections or sleep-disordered breathing. Recovery is notably harder for adults than children, with significant throat pain for a week or more and a real emphasis on staying hydrated.Ear Tube PlacementTiny tubes are placed through the eardrum to drain fluid and ventilate the middle ear, most often for children with recurrent ear infections. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and the tubes usually fall out on their own within a year.Sinus Surgery (FESS)A camera and instruments passed through the nostrils open blocked sinus drainage pathways, with no external incisions. Considered for chronic sinusitis that has not improved with medication. Congestion often worsens briefly before it improves.SeptoplastyThe wall of cartilage and bone between the nostrils is straightened to improve airflow through a blocked side. It addresses breathing rather than external appearance, though it is sometimes combined with cosmetic reshaping.Turbinate ReductionSwollen tissue inside the nose is shrunk to improve airflow, frequently at the same time as septoplasty. Often the difference between a nose that is structurally straight and one that actually feels open.LaryngoscopyA scope examines the voice box and vocal cords, used for persistent hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or throat pain that has not resolved. Small lesions can sometimes be biopsied or removed during the same procedure.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery6
Breast Augmentation / ReductionBreast size is increased by placing implants, or decreased by removing breast tissue and skin and repositioning the remaining tissue. Reduction is often performed to relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by breast weight.RhinoplastySurgery that reshapes the nose by altering the bone and cartilage beneath the skin. It is performed to change appearance, to correct breathing problems caused by internal structure, or both. Swelling takes months to fully resolve.FaceliftLiposuctionFat is suctioned out from beneath the skin through small tubes called cannulas, reshaping a specific area such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. It targets localized deposits and is a contouring procedure rather than a method of weight loss.Wound ReconstructionRebuilds skin and underlying tissue where a wound is too large or too damaged to close directly. Surgeons move nearby tissue, or transfer skin and muscle from elsewhere on the body, to cover the defect. Often follows trauma, infection, or cancer removal.Skin GraftingHealthy skin is taken from one area of the body and transplanted to cover a wound or burn elsewhere. Both the graft site and the donor site need care, and the donor site is often the more uncomfortable of the two.

Had Septoplasty yesterday with this practice. Upon arrival everyone was very friendly when checking in, I had the pleasure of having Pre Op nurse Ms Charmaine and she was a HOOT! Definitely lightened my nervous mood before being taken to the OR. Anesthesiologist Dr Holly was also very kind and reassuring. Dr Scarlett did a fantastic job on my nose it’s not even a full day Post Op and I feel so much better, I can actually breath out of both nostrils!! I will recommend this practice to anyone I know in need of an ENT doctor! Couldn’t have been a more pleasant time for me.

I had my tonsils removed this past week. Dr. McVicar and His crew are simply amazing. I wish I remembered all the names, but I just can't. When I say I am a 32 year old female TERRIFIED of things like this, I felt so loved and cared for. I still have some recovery time left, and I'm sure I will be in some pain, but as of now, I am doing great with what they have given me and the communication they have provided. Please continue to provide excellent service for what you do. Thanks again to everyone involved at this location.

I recently had a septoplasty performed at Charleston ENT and had a fantastic experience. Dr. Scarlet was my surgeon, and he was incredibly informative during our consultation. He thoroughly explained the different procedures available and really took the time to listen to my concerns and complaints. I was impressed with how quickly he got me on the schedule for surgery. From the front desk staff to the releasing nurse, everyone was kind and professional, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. The surgery itself was quick, and the care I received exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Charleston ENT!

The team at Charleston ENT Surgery Center were polite, attentive, and professional. They took great care of our 5 year old and made sure he was comfortable and confident for his tonsillectomy. Staff could tell my wife was nervous, and were quick to calm and console her. Highly recommend this amazing team and center.
