Plastic surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on repairing, reconstructing, or altering the human body. It can be performed for various reasons, including improving appearance, restoring function after injury, or correcting congenital defects. Procedures can range from minor adjustments, like rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), to more extensive surgeries, such as breast reconstruction. Surgeons in this field are trained to use advanced techniques and technologies to achieve desired outcomes while minimizing risks. Cosmetic surgery is a popular branch of plastic surgery that emphasizes aesthetic enhancements, while reconstructive surgery aims to restore form and function after trauma or illness.
