Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

What is Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery?

Plastic Surgery is a medical specialty that deals with the repair, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body.

It is broadly divided into:

  • Reconstructive Surgery, which focuses on restoring function and appearance after trauma, illness, or congenital conditions
  • Cosmetic Surgery, which aims to improve physical appearance through elective procedures

 

Plastic surgeons often work across departments including trauma, oncology, ENT, and orthopaedics.
