Plastic Surgery include two types of procedures i.e. Cosmetic  and Reconstructive.  Cosmetic surgery is used to enhance and improve the  appearance of normal body structures without impaired function.  This type of plastic surgery is elective and not a medical  necessity. When considering cosmetic surgery, make sure that  you are doing it for yourself and not to meet someone else’s  expectations. A breast lift to improve the appearance of your  breasts is one example of cosmetic surgery.  Reconstructive surgery is used to restore function to body  structures that have been damaged due to congenital deformity,  developmental abnormalities, or trauma. Reconstructive surgery  may also incorporate some aspects of cosmetic surgery to  restore normal appearance. Burn rehabilitation or a breast  reconstruction after surgical treatment for cancer are examples  of reconstructive surgery.  Plastic surgery also includes- Hand surgery: This type of surgery is performed to treat injuries  and diseases of the hands and fingers.  Microsurgery: This type of surgery is performed to repair or  reconstruct small structures, such as blood vessels and nerves.  Plastic surgery for children: This type of surgery is performed to  correct birth defects or injuries in children.
