Plastic and cosmetic surgeries are both in the same field of medicine. Reconstructive plastic surgeons have the qualifications, experience, and training required to restore the body’s normal appearance. You may need to see a plastic surgeon if your body has been affected by a congenital defect, accident, infection, disease, or tumor. This type of plastic surgery can improve your physical appearance as well as your body’s ability to function normally. On the other hand, cosmetic surgeons primarily focus on enhancing, reshaping, and improving the appearance of certain parts of your body. Cosmetic plastic surgeons have specialized training and education on aesthetic procedures.
