With the tremendous growth in medical science, there is a major development in the field of plastic and cosmetic surgery. Plastic surgery is undertaken to change or restructure the appearance of characteristic or a body part. On the other hand cosmetic or aesthetic surgery is taken up by an individual who wishes to change the physical appearance of a body feature. Plastic and cosmetic surgeries have their own goals and treatment.
Plastic surgery is a reconstructive surgery which in medical terms is a treatment used to improvise dysfunctional body parts. It can bring a change in a person’s appearance; it is mainly directed to restore function. Cosmetic surgery is totally elective and initiated by a person to change or modify the appearance of the physical feature. It works best for scar removal, but is has to be done by a qualified plastic/aesthetic surgeon like Dr. Michael Miroshnik.
Plastic surgery can be defined as the best surgical process which is dedicated mainly to reconstruction of body or facial defect due to birth disorders, burns, trauma and disease. It is intended to improvise dysfunctional parts of the body.
