Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty focused on reconstructing or altering the body's appearance and function through surgical techniques. It encompasses both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. Reconstructive plastic surgery aims to restore function and appearance following trauma, surgery, congenital defects, or disease. This includes procedures like repairing cleft palates, reconstructing breasts after mastectomy, or repairing skin damaged by burns. Cosmetic plastic surgery, on the other hand, is performed to enhance or alter a person's appearance for aesthetic reasons, such as facelifts, breast augmentations, or liposuction. Plastic surgeons use a range of techniques to improve or restore the form and function of various body parts, often working to achieve both aesthetic and functional goals.
