Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery
Plastic surgery is a medical specialty comprising reconstructive
and cosmetic, or aesthetic surgery. Both reconstructive and
cosmetic surgery help millions of pa tients
of both sexes and all ages every year. Reconstructive surgery
is performed on abnormal structures of the body caused by
birth defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma or injury,
infection, tumors or disease. It is generally intended to
improve function, but may also be used to approximate a normal
appearance.
Cosmetic surgery reshapes normal structures of the body to
improve the patient's appearance and self-esteem. Plastic
surgery, whether cosmetic or reconstructive, encourages and
promotes a strong, positive self-image. Even a small change
on the outside can create an extraordinary change on the inside,
allowing an individual's self-confidence to flourish. There
are many good reasons for wanting to improve your appearance,
not least of which is increasing self-confidence to enable
social or business advancement.
Not every procedure is appropriate for everyone. Treatments
must be customized for the individual patient. Most patients
have a specific complaint ... a single facial or body feature
that keeps them from feeling attractive. Fortunately, there
are perfectly good options available to them. Patients do
not have to live out their lives with disproportionately sized
noses, protruding ears, or eyes that look prematurely aged.
Almost all areas of the body can be effectively reduced or
augmented as needed. Modern technology and improved surgical
procedures are making the reshaping process much easier and
much more successful. However, no matter what type of plastic
surgery you are considering, the most important factor in
its success is the surgeon you choose.
