Plastic surgery is a branch of medicine that covers all surgical procedures performed to improve the appearance or functionality of the body. It is divided into two main categories: aesthetic and reconstructive surgery:
Aesthetic (Cosmetic) Surgery: It is performed to beautify the appearance. Examples: Rhinoplasty (nose aesthetics), breast augmentation/reduction, liposuction, face lift, botox and filling applications.
Reconstructive Surgery: It is applied to correct deformities caused by congenital anomalies, accidents, burns or diseases. Examples: Cleft lip/palate repair, burn treatment, breast reconstruction.
Plastic surgery aims to improve both physical and psychological well-being. It is performed by expert plastic surgeons using modern techniques and technologies. Detailed consultation before the procedure and personalised planning according to patient needs are essential.
