Plastic surgery is also known as reconstructive
surgery. This type of surgery involves fixing a body part or facial feature
that is abnormal and reconstructing it to appear normal. Often a person seeks
reconstructive surgery due to a malformation that they would like to have
corrected. Others need plastic surgery because of health complications due to
the abnormal body part of facial feature.
Student B
Cosmetic surgery differs from
plastic/reconstructive surgery because the purpose of this procedure is to take
a normal body structure and improve it to make it look better and improve the
person’s self-esteem. Cosmetic surgery is not needed due to a deformity or
health issue - the person simply wants to appear more attractive in most cases.
Breast implants and breast reductions are seen as a cosmetic surgery procedure
because the surgeon is enhancing the already normal body structure.
Anti-aging procedures such as facelifts, tummy tucks, and hair replacement treatments are also common cosmetic procedures.
