Plastic Surgery Is More Than Vanity Surgery

Originally derived from the Greek word ‘plastikos’ meaning to mold and reshape. Plastic surgery is the adoption of sound surgical principles to remold and reshape tissue to suit the unique needs of the individual. It is best described as a specialty devoted to the restoration or creation of the best function of a part of the body with a superior aesthetic appearance. Plastic surgery is the only specialty which transgresses borders of age, system, region or organ of the body. Plastic surgeons emphasize the importance of treating the patient taking into consideration both the physical and emotional well-being of the patient.
