Plastic Surgeons

Plastic surgery is the specialty of medicine concerned with the correction, restoration and enhancement of the body’s form and function.

Doctors that specialize in this field of medicine are known as plastic surgeons. (The term “cosmetic surgeon” usually refers to plastic surgeons specializing in surgery for aesthetic or cosmetic enhancement and improvement). Plastic surgeons treat a wide range of disease and conditions like cleft palates, severe burns, and breast reconstruction, but are better known for their surgical work in body contouring and enhancement.

Plastic surgeons perform a wide range of procedures that include abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), breast augmentation, breast reduction, rhytidectomy (facelift), nose reconstruction or rhinoplasty (nose shaping surgery) and otoplasty (ear surgery).

Plastic surgeons may sub-specialize in burns, cosmetic, craniofacial, hand, microsurgery and pediatrics.
