Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery
By definition, we can say that plastic surgery is a surgical specialty that deals with improving a person’s appearance. But it is not limited to that. It also deals with the reconstruction of defective tissues on facial and other areas throughout the body.
These defective tissues may be caused due to various illnesses, traumas, or hereditary complications. In short, plastic surgery is the structural restoration of all kinds of defects and deformities on the body for functional and aesthetic purposes.
In these operations, surgeons use healthy tissues that are similar in texture and other characteristics to fix deformities. However, it is not as easy as it sounds.
These operations require cutting-edge instruments and expertise on the surgeon’s side. Handling the donor tissue without damaging it and being able to align the tissues precisely can only be mastered with experience. Many people believe that the word plastic in plastic surgery comes from the commonly used synthetic substance “plastic”. However, it stems from the Greek word plastikos, which means to form or mold. Plastic that we commonly use in all kinds of products in the modern world also got its name from this Greek word.
