Introduction to Plastic / Reconstructive Surgery
Plastic and reconstructive surgery is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. This branch of surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at improving both form and function. Plastic surgery can be performed for aesthetic reasons, such as enhancing physical appearance, or for reconstructive purposes, such as repairing defects caused by trauma, congenital conditions, or medical treatments.
