Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery deals with both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery on your face, hands, and nose just to name a few. If you have a body part that needs repair, reconstruction or replacing the form and/or function then plastic surgery is a viable option for you. Plastic surgery can be by choice, as in breast implants or a medical necessity to correct a birth defect or to treat an injury from an accident.
Cosmetic surgery is optional; by choice, most people choose this type of surgery to improve their appearance and self-esteem. This form of surgery reshapes parts of the body that are functioning normally.
A form of cosmetic surgery would be a facelift or rhytidectomy as it is technically called. People seek facelifts for a variety of reasons, deep creases between their nose and mouth; loose skin on their face; and for some folds and roles of fat appear around the neck. A facelift can't stop the clock on aging, but it can set it back a few hours, tweaking the aging process by removing excess fat and tightening underlying muscles, and reshaping the skin around your face and neck.
You would have reconstructive surgery to correct an abnormal formation of a body part. Birth defects, tumors, diseases, accidents usually cause these abnormalities. Improve functions as well as a normal appearance is the function of reconstructive surgery. Cleft lip surgery is a common reconstructive surgery done on newborns between 8 to 16 weeks of age. This surgery focuses on repairing the birth defects of the upper lip and the roof of the mouth which is called the palate. If palate surgery is required the majority of surgeons will postpone this surgery until the infant is between 8 months to 1 year to allow normal growth and changes in the palate and to prevent speech impediments.
