Know about Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery is a field of medical science associated with correcting the form and function of a body part. Many deformities and functional deficiencies can be partially or completely eliminated with the help of this science. Greek word “Plastikos” has the origin of this procedure which means fit to mould. Reconstruction and cosmetic are two aspects of plastic surgery. Although a surgery may be carried out for both reconstructive and cosmetic purposes, there are some surgeries that are intended to purely heal and reconstruct the functional aspect. Others may focus on aesthetic aspect but the base of a cosmetic surgery lies in reconstructive approach.

Hand surgery, repair of scars, breast reduction plasty, breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, creating an outer ear missing congenitally, etc. are some reconstructive types of plastic procedures. Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery, craniofacial surgery in children and adults, reconstructing benign lesions of skin, head and neck through surgical and laser treatment are others in the category.

There are two main reasons why youngsters want to go through cosmetic surgery. Firstly, the surgery will theoretically make them more beautiful. Usually, a teen wishes to use the surgery to correct poorly proportioned parts of their body including a mis-shapen nose, protruding ears, overly large breasts, asymmetrical breasts, or severe acne and scarring. After their physical characteristics have been corrected, they should look prettier and more attractive. Secondly, having cosmetic surgery is a way to gain self-esteem. Because their physical problems have been solved, they no longer feel awkward about their appearances. Therefore, they frequently gain more confidence in themselves.

Cosmetic surgery is another procedure which is done to improve physical appearance and reduce signs of aging in a person. Botox and injectable fillers used on face, eyelid surgery for cosmetic and functional purposes, cosmetic ear surgery, facelift surgery, liposuction, lifting and shaping procedures of the body and cosmetic breast surgery are some types of commonly done cosmetic surgical procedures.
