What is Plastic Surgery?
Plastic surgery is a specialized medical field. It involves the restoration, reconstruction, or modification of the human body. There are two types of plastic surgery:
1. Reconstructive surgery is performed to restore function and normal appearance to body parts affected by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infections, tumours, or disease. Examples include cleft lip and palate repair, hand surgery, and breast reconstruction following mastectomy.
2. Cosmetic surgery, or aesthetic surgery, is performed to enhance and reshape body parts to improve appearance and self-esteem. Examples include breast augmentation, liposuction, rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), and facelift.
