Reconstructive surgery helps one to fix or bring to normalcy something that is irregular on the body, such as a ripped earlobe, or a scar. Cosmetic surgery helps to improve one's image, or as it is often called, aesthetic surgery, it gives one's body a sense of beauty.
Plastic surgery has many uses today.
Ultimately, plastic surgery benefits both young and old psychologically, physically and emotionally. One's body image, or perception of how they look, often controls their life, both directly and indirectly. Plastic surgery can help people with this image struggle which often monopolizes one's perception of the world around them. One's perception of themselves is reflected in their personality and treatment of those they come in contact with. If a person is not happy with the way they look they often project it through negative body language or some other form of communication.
