Plastic surgery is a surgical branch that addresses both form and function. The word “Plastic is derived from the greek word “Plastikos” which means to give form. It may be broadly divided into two sub-specialties - Reconstructive Surgery and Cosmetic or Aesthetic Surgery.
Reconstructive surgery aims to restoring a body part to either its normal appearance of to its normal function. People may be either born with deformities - (congenital) or may acquire them due to injuries, burns, accidents or following the removal of cancerous tissue.
Cosmetic or Aesthetic surgery, on the other hand, aims at improving and enhancing the appearance of a person.
