About Me
Dr Jason Roth (MED0001185485) is a Specialist Otolaryngologist and Head and Neck Surgeon with a particular interest in facial plastic surgery — including rhinoplasty, facelift, neck lift, and brow lift. He has completed both rhinology and facial plastic surgery fellowship training, holds the International Board Certification in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and has been operating in private practice in Sydney for more than 15 years.
Dr Roth has a focused and limited scope of practice, operating exclusively on the nose, face, neck, and ears. He also sees paediatric and adult patients with general ENT conditions including ear, nose, and sinus problems. He consults from his clinic in Dee Why and operates at several accredited private hospitals across Sydney.
In recent years, Dr Roth has taken a particular interest in preservation rhinoplasty techniques — attending the inaugural Preservation Rhinoplasty Conference in Nice (2019) and the Structure and Preservation Rhinoplasty Conference in Istanbul (2024). He is a strong advocate for the deep plane facelift and the preservation facelift concept, which he has been incorporating into his practice for a number of years.

Continuing Professional Development
The practice of surgery does not end with training. The fields of rhinoplasty and facial plastic surgery have evolved more rapidly over the past decade than in any comparable period in their history — driven by the preservation rhinoplasty movement, by improved anatomical understanding, by the global sharing of technique through video platforms, and by an increasingly open culture of peer exchange at national and international meetings. A surgeon who trained fifteen years ago and has not engaged actively with continuing education since is not practising contemporary surgery.
Dr Roth’s approach to continuing professional development is structured, regular, and genuinely motivated — not a box-ticking exercise but a genuine engagement with a field that continues to evolve in meaningful ways. Under the Medical Board of Australia’s registration standards set by AHPRA, all registered medical practitioners must meet mandatory CPD requirements. Dr Roth meets and exceeds these requirements across all categories.
Dr Roth is a member of the Australian Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery — the principal professional body for facial plastic surgery in Australia. His involvement with the AAFPS extends well beyond attendance at meetings; it encompasses a year-round commitment to the organisation, to the advancement of standards in facial plastic surgery in Australia, and to the education of trainees and established practitioners alike.
AAFPS Annual Masters Symposium — Cadaveric Dissection
The centrepiece of the AAFPS educational calendar is the annual Masters Symposium — a meeting that combines formal lectures and case presentations with hands-on cadaveric dissection sessions. Dr Roth has attended these symposia annually from 2013 to the present, with cadaveric dissection sessions covering facelift and neck lift (2013, 2016, 2019), rhinoplasty (2015, 2018, 2022), and blepharoplasty (2014, 2017, 2021, 2023) in rotation.
Cadaveric dissection occupies an irreplaceable position in surgical education. Working on human tissue — finding the subperichondrial plane in the nose by feel, tracing the zygomatic and masseteric retaining ligaments in the deep plane of the face, following the branches of the facial nerve through the parotid into the surgical field — provides a spatial and tactile understanding that no video, diagram, or written description can substitute for.
Dr Roth has also participated in international cadaveric dissection through the Facial Anatomy and Training Symposium (FATS) — a dedicated hands-on dissection programme held in Thailand. The images below are from the FATS 2026 programme.

AAFPS Monthly Wednesday Evening Webinars
The AAFPS runs a programme of monthly webinars on Wednesday evenings — a regular, structured educational activity covering the full breadth of facial plastic surgery: rhinoplasty technique updates, facelift approaches, blepharoplasty, brow lifting, skin laser and non-surgical treatments, and the evolving evidence base for each. The monthly cadence allows the absorption and discussion of new material in smaller, more manageable pieces than annual conferences allow. Dr Roth participates in these webinars as an attendee.
The Structure and Preservation Rhinoplasty Conference (sprhinoplasty.com) is an international rhinoplasty conference dedicated to the interface between preservation and structure rhinoplasty techniques. Dr Roth attended this conference in Istanbul in 2024. The programme brought together rhinoplasty surgeons from Europe, the Middle East, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region to present comparative outcome data, live surgery, and detailed technical discussions.
This meeting followed Dr Roth’s attendance at the inaugural Preservation Rhinoplasty Conference in Nice in 2019. The 2024 Istanbul conference represented the maturation of that movement — no longer advocacy, but critical comparative assessment. The surgeons presenting were presenting their revision rates, their complications, and their refinements in technique — the kind of intellectually honest self-examination that produces genuine learning.

Quality Medical Publishing (QMP) is an online platform hosting detailed, annotated operative videos from leading facial plastic surgeons and rhinoplasty specialists around the world. It is widely regarded as the most comprehensive resource of its kind in facial plastic surgery, providing access to operative footage that would previously have required a personal visit to a specific surgeon’s operating theatre to observe.
Dr Roth uses QMP as a regular component of his continuing education — reviewing operative videos from surgeons whose case mix and technical approach differ from his own, studying specific steps in procedures he performs, and examining how experienced surgeons manage the intra-operative decisions that require real-time judgement. The platform is particularly valuable for rhinoplasty, where the three-dimensional nature of the anatomy and the technique is very difficult to convey through still images or written description.
Dr Roth is a strong proponent of this democratisation of surgical knowledge — surgeons sharing their operative footage, their refinements, and their honest assessments of their own outcomes with the global community. Patients are the ultimate beneficiaries of this culture.
The Australian Society of Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery (ASOHNS) is the peak professional body for otolaryngologists in Australia. As a member of ASOHNS, Dr Roth participates in the Society’s quarterly clinical review meetings — structured peer review sessions in which cases are presented and discussed by members across the full breadth of ENT and head and neck surgery, including complex diagnostic challenges, unusual presentations, complications, and evolving evidence for specific interventions.
These quarterly meetings serve a different educational function from specialist conference attendance. Where conferences are focused on new technique and the cutting edge of practice, clinical review meetings are anchored in the day-to-day practice of a specialty. The peer review format — where colleagues present their own cases and receive structured feedback — is one of the most effective mechanisms for identifying gaps in practice and improving clinical decision-making. It also contributes directly to Dr Roth’s AHPRA CPD obligations.
As a credentialled surgeon at both Wyvern Private Hospital and North Shore Private Hospital, Dr Roth participates in the biannual clinical review meetings conducted by each institution. These meetings bring together credentialled medical staff to review clinical incidents, near-miss events, quality and safety data, changes to hospital protocols, and areas where clinical practice can be improved. Mandatory attendance is a condition of maintaining surgical privileges at each facility.
Hospital clinical review meetings provide a form of quality assurance that individual practice or specialty society meetings cannot replicate — they bring together practitioners across disciplines and examine outcomes from a systems perspective rather than an individual performance perspective.
The current AHPRA CPD framework requires a minimum of 50 hours of CPD activity per year across three domains:
Dr Roth meets and exceeds the required minimums across all three domains. The mandatory minimums represent a floor, not a ceiling — Dr Roth’s CPD activities substantially exceed what is required by regulation.

Why Continuing Education Matters for Patients
Patients choosing a surgeon have a legitimate interest in understanding not only their training and formal qualifications but also how they maintain and develop their skills over the course of a career. Formal training — however rigorous — prepares a surgeon for practice at a point in time. The techniques that were standard at the time of fellowship may have been superseded, refined, or in some cases abandoned in favour of approaches that produce better outcomes.
The pace of change in rhinoplasty and facial plastic surgery over the past decade has been particularly rapid. The emergence of preservation rhinoplasty — with its fundamentally different approach to the nasal dorsum — has required established surgeons to substantially update their understanding and operative technique. The deep plane facelift, once the practice of a small number of specialised surgeons, has become more widely practised as the anatomical and outcome evidence has become more compelling. None of these fields are static.
Dr Roth’s commitment to ongoing education is not a marketing narrative — it is a professional obligation that he takes seriously. The specific activities described on this page are not aspirational; they represent what he actually does, on a regular basis, as part of a career characterised by genuine curiosity about his field and genuine commitment to his patients’ outcomes.

Personal
Dr Roth grew up in Sydney and attended medical school at the University of New South Wales. Outside of medicine he enjoys trail running, road cycling, ocean swimming, triathlons, and skiing. He has a young family and is a member of the Warringah Triathlon Club, Manly Cycling Club, and Manly Sailing Club.
Sport has been a consistent part of Dr Roth’s life alongside his medical career — a deliberate counterbalance to the demands of surgical practice that he regards as important both physically and mentally. He has competed in triathlons ranging from sprint distance to Ironman, completed numerous trail running events across the Northern Beaches, and cycles regularly along the Manly to Palm Beach coastline.
