Plastic Surgery is a highly specialized branch of medicine that focuses on restoring, reconstructing, and enhancing the body’s form and function. It serves two major purposes—reconstructive surgery, which addresses defects caused by trauma, accidents, burns, birth anomalies, or medical conditions, and cosmetic surgery, which enhances appearance and boosts self-confidence.
Reconstructive plastic surgery plays a vital role in improving patients’ quality of life. It includes procedures such as cleft lip and palate repair, burn reconstruction, skin grafts, scar revision, and breast reconstruction after mastectomy. These surgeries not only restore function but also help patients regain a sense of normalcy and self-assurance.
