Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
Cosmetic surgery is a type of plastic surgery that aims to improve a person’s appearance, but it should be approached with safe and precautions.
Procedures are available for almost any part of the body, but the choice to undergo cosmetic surgery should not be taken lightly. The results are often permanent, so it is important to be sure about the decision, to use an appropriate practitioner, and to have the right motivation.
Reconstructive Plastic surgery is performed for the functional impairments that are caused due to burns, traumatic injuries, congenital abnormalities etc. Reconstructive surgery is the most common procedure for tumor removal, laceration repair, maxillofacial surgery, hand surgery, breast reduction surgery etc.
Plastic surgeons use micro surgery for the transfer of tissue for coverage of a defect. Combination of skin may be removed from any part of the body and moved to another site in this process. Plastic surgery is a broad field that handles various surgeries like:
- Aesthetic Surgery
- Burn Surgery
- Craniofacial Surgery
- Hand Surgery
- Micro Surgery
- Pediatric Plastic Surgery

What is the recovery from cosmetic surgery like?
Each patient tolerates pain after surgery in different ways. Your surgeon will prescribe the appropriate pain medications to help minimize any discomfort. In general, most facial cosmetic operations have minimal discomfort post-operatively. Liposuction is slightly more uncomfortable, and operations that require elevation or tightening of the muscles-such as an abdominoplasty or breast augmentation can cause discomfort equal to a C-section.
How safe is plastic surgery?
Each year, thousands of cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeries are performed without complication. However, no surgery is without risk. Part of the risk depends on your health background, how intensive the surgical procedure is, and the type and amount of anesthesia used. Your surgeon will review the risks of your procedure with you before helping you decide whether plastic surgery is right for you.
Does plastic surgery last forever?
The results of plastic surgery may be permanent or may last from a few months to a number of years, depending on the type of procedure. In some cases, results can be longer lasting with the proper lifestyle adjustments. However, no surgery will be able to permanently reverse the effects of age. Your surgeon will discuss the expected length of time the results of your procedure should last.
What is recovery from plastic surgery like?
Recovery from plastic surgery depends on how intensive the surgery is and your health history. For minor procedures, you may be able to return to your normal activities after a few days or weeks of rest. For more intensive procedures, weeks or months of physical therapy may be required before you are completely recovered. Recovery may also sometimes include postoperative pain.
