Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery modifies or improves the appearance of a physical feature, irregularity, or defect. Reconstructive plastic surgery is used to correct physical defects and to rebuild parts of the body that have been damaged by trauma or disease. Some examples of reconstructive plastic surgery are breast reconstruction for women who have undergone a mastectomy and skin grafting for burn victims.
