Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty focused on restoring, reconstructing, or altering the human body, divided into Reconstructive Surgery (fixing defects from birth, trauma, cancer) and Cosmetic Surgery (enhancing appearance, like facelifts, breast augmentation, liposuction). The term “plastic” comes from Greek for “to mold,” and procedures improve function and boost confidence, ranging from intricate microsurgery to minimally invasive fillers and Botox.
