Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery is a medical specialty focused on the correction or restoration of form and function of an area of the body. There are different types of plastic surgery.
Reconstructive plastic surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. It is generally performed to improve functions, but may also be done to approximate a normal appearance.
Cosmetic surgery, also called aesthetic plastic surgery or medical aesthetics, refers to the surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to enhance a person’s appearance and self-esteem. Healthy individuals who have a positive outlook and realistic expectations for what can and cannot be achieved through cosmetic surgery are the best candidates.
It’s important to keep in mind that plastic surgery Is a personal choice and should done for oneself — not to fulfill someone else’s desires to try to fit an ideal image of what is beautiful or acceptable. An open discussion with a McBee plastic surgeon will help you clarify goals and manage your expectations.
