Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty that involves repairing, reconstructing, or altering the human body. This can be broken down into her two main categories: Reconstructive surgery includes craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and burn treatment. Reconstructive surgery aims to reconstruct a part of the body or improve its function, whereas cosmetic surgery aims to improve the appearance. Plastic surgery culture is an attitude towards cosmetic changes brought about by surgery over time, depending on the purpose. In World War I, 1000’s of soldiers suffered unprecedented facial injuries, so there was a great need for facial reconstruction as Harold Gillies of New Zealand developed and tested a method to restore the function and structure of the soldier’s face. These processes quickly became popular. In the 1940’s and his 50’s America, fashion and grooming were more important. As ideas about what is considered beautiful have changed, services, products, and technology have been developed to help meet those criteria if consumers choose to. You may undergo plastic surgery due to your condition or lack of confidence in your body. Individuals may look to altering themselves through surgery as it does not require mental/emotional work and reduces physical dysmorphia. Many people who undergo modern plastic surgery choose plastic surgery because of their mental state or lack of confidence in their bodies. Instead of striving to accept and love them for who they are and how they look, millions of people are trying to change themselves because they are readily available and do not require mental/ emotional work. The most important trend in plastic surgery today is the move to less invasive procedures aimed at preventing the visible signs of aging. In fact, the most popular procedures today involve the use of injectable agents such as facial wrinkle fillers and most famously Botox. It is estimated that over 1.1 million Botox injections are performed each year in the United States that number continues to grow. These altruistic displays have helped raise public awareness of plastic surgery and have led to the idea that reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery can work hand in hand to improve the quality of life for many. Perhaps this is also part of the reason why the number of people undergoing plastic surgery each year is increasing at an alarming rate. Reconstructive surgery is surgery performed to restore the normal appearance and function of a body part that has been deformed by an illness or medical condition. Cosmetic surgery is usually done to repair or reshape normal structures in the body and generally improve appearance. Surgery is defined as the treatment of an injury or condition using surgical instruments. It is a logical prefix because most reconstructive and cosmetic surgery procedures recreate or reshape a part of the body. Children make up about 3% of all plastic surgery procedures, and most of these procedures correct congenital malformations. Reconstructive plastic surgery is performed on abnormal body structures that are the result of birth defects, developmental disorders, trauma, infections, tumours, or disease. Reconstructive surgery is most commonly done to restore normal motor function or prevent current or future health problems, but the surgical team also considers aesthetics. Cosmetic plastic surgery is defined as any surgical procedure performed to improve a patient’s appearance and self-esteem.
