Cosmetic and aesthetic surgery are the most well-known parts of plastic surgery. In plastic surgery, there is a common misunderstanding that the word plastic means artificial. Rather the word comes from the ancient Greek word “plastikos” means molding or forming. Reconstructive plastic surgery is a treatment used to heal dysfunctional body parts. It is used primarily to restore function, although it can also change the individual's appearance. Cosmetic plastic surgery procedures, techniques and principles are entirely focused on improving the patient's appearance. Improving aesthetic appeal, symmetry and proportion are key goals.
