Surgical Specialty to improve how someone looks and to reconstruct facial and body tissue defects. These issues may be caused by illness, injury (trauma), or birth disorders. Plastic surgery restores and improves function, as well as appearance.
Facial plastic surgery is performed to reshape structures in the head and neck — typically the nose, ears, chin, cheekbones and neckline. People seeking this surgery may be motivated by a desire to reconstruct the face after an injury or disease or to change a feature present from birth.
Body plastic surgery involved with both the improvement in a person’s appearance and the reconstruction of body tissue defects due to illness, trauma, or birth disorders.
