Plastic surgery, also known as aesthetic surgery, is a surgical specialty that focuses on the reconstruction, repair, or replacement of physical defects of form or function involving the skin, musculoskeletal system, craniomaxillofacial structures, hand, extremities, breast, and trunk, and external genitalia or cosmetic enhancement of these areas of the body. Procedures that fall under the realm of plastic surgery can include things such as facelifts, breast augmentations, and tummy tucks, as well as reconstruction surgeries for injuries, burns, or birth defects. These procedures can be performed for both cosmetic and medical reasons, and can greatly improve the patient’s quality of life.
