Plastic surgeons are medical doctors who specialize in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. They perform procedures to repair or reshape various parts of the body, including the face, breasts, and skin. Their work can help improve appearance, restore function, and enhance self-esteem for patients who have experienced trauma, congenital conditions, or simply wish to change their appearance. These surgeons undergo extensive training, including medical school and several years of residency in surgery. They may also complete fellowships in specific areas, such as reconstructive surgery or cosmetic surgery. Plastic surgeons prioritize patient safety and satisfaction while using advanced techniques and technologies in their practice.
