Plastic surgery is a medical specialty focused on restoring, reconstructing, or altering the human body's form and function. It encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at improving appearance, repairing injuries, or correcting abnormalities.

Common procedures include cosmetic surgeries like breast augmentation, rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), and facelifts, as well as reconstructive surgeries for trauma, birth defects, or medical conditions like breast reconstruction after mastectomy.

Types of Plastic Surgery 

The types of Plastic Surgery are divided into two main terms which are: 

• Reconstructive Surgery: It is performed to rectify physical abnormalities caused by birth defects, accidents, injuries, infections, diseases, or medical conditions. The different reconstructive procedures are cleft lip and palate repair, burn and scar revision surgery, hand surgery for congenital abnormalities or injuries, and reconstructive surgery for trauma or cancer-related deformities. 
• Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Surgery: It is performed to enhance a person's physical appearance and is often elective in nature and not recommended medically. Some common cosmetic surgeries include rhinoplasty, liposuction (removal of excess fat), facelift or brow lift, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and dermal fillers.
