Cosmetic surgery is a type of plastic surgery.
Plastic surgery and aesthetic surgery are part of the same medical speciality.
Reconstructive plastic surgery deals with the treatment of morphological alterations of the human body of congenital or acquired origin with or without functional repercussions.
On the other hand, aesthetic surgery or rather aesthetic plastic surgery deals with the treatment of the morphology of the human body in order to obtain a specific harmony for each patient.
On many occasions, reconstructive plastic surgery and aesthetic surgery merge, such as in the case of facial deformities or breast reconstruction.
