PLASTIC SURGERY

Plastic surgery is a specialized field focused on reconstructing or altering physical features to improve appearance and function. This includes both reconstructive procedures, which aim to restore normal function and appearance after trauma, congenital abnormalities, or medical conditions, and aesthetic (cosmetic) procedures, which enhance or alter physical appearance based on individual desires.

Reconstructive plastic surgery may involve procedures such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy, facial reconstruction following injury, or correction of congenital defects like cleft lip and palate. Aesthetic plastic surgery includes procedures like facelifts, rhinoplasty, and liposuction, designed to enhance cosmetic appearance.

Advancements in plastic surgery have led to significant improvements in techniques and outcomes, including minimally invasive methods, advanced tissue engineering, and improved surgical tools. Plastic surgeons often work closely with other specialists, such as dermatologists and oncologists, to provide comprehensive care. Their expertise helps patients achieve functional and aesthetic goals, contributing to both physical health and emotional well-being.
