Who are Plastic surgeons?
Plastic surgeons are the specialist doctors who perform surgery to change the shape or appearance of part of a patient’s body. They are specialized to reconstruction of facial and body defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns, and disease and correct dysfunctional areas of the body. They not only perform cosmetic surgeries such as nose jobs or face lifts, but they also perform reconstructive surgeries for patients who have injuries from an accident or for those with birth defects. Plastic surgeons are trained in tissue transfer, body contouring and laser surgery. Plastic and reconstructive surgery deals with the restoration of normal form and function. It is a varied specialty involving adults and children and encompassing a wide range of conditions in different parts of the body. Plastic surgeons shape and mould regions of the body like the ears, face, trunk, hands and other extremities. They also repair congenital problems, such as malformed bone structure in hands or feet. Cosmetic surgery reshapes normal body parts for aesthetic reasons, while reconstructive surgery repairs or replaces body parts damaged by accidents, illness or malformation.
