Aesthetic surgery (or cosmetic) is done with the purpose of changing those parts of the body that are not satisfactory for the patient. In many cases, however, there are medical reasons (eg, reduction mammoplasty when orthopedic problems in the lumbar spine, or in serious cases of Blepharoplasty Blefarochalasis even impede the view).
The difference between cosmetic surgery and reconstructive or restorative surgery is sometimes imperceptible, because many of the reconstructive surgery procedures are performed to resolve the aesthetic a condition that affects one function, while all cosmetic surgery procedures are based on reconstruction of the appearance.
Plastic surgery is a great development in Latin American countries have made significant contributions to plastic surgery world.
Plastic surgery also has the specialty of medicine in which the surgery aims to reconstruct the correct deformities and functional deficiencies through the transformation of the human body. The word “plastic” comes from the Greek “plastik” meaning to mold or process.
The aim is that the patient was born with a birth defect or have suffered an accident that has made him lose the function to normal range in both their appearance and in function of your body. We also can provide improved aesthetics to reshape bodies to make them more beautiful.
Plastic surgery has been divided from the practical point of view in two areas.
Reconstructive or restorative surgery, including microsurgery, focuses on obscure and reconstruct the destructive effects of an accident or trauma. Reconstructive surgery makes the use of osteo-synthesis techniques, transfer of tissue flaps and transplants with healthy parts of the body affected.
At the wishes of patients to undergo an aesthetic procedure is often faced with quacks or physicians while other specialties have vitiated the essential approach to practice plastic surgery so that patients will result in more damage and disappointment to the practice of cosmetic surgery. In fact, procedures performed often far from correct, and if we add to that the already inherent surgical complications in these results can be truly disastrous. It is therefore essential that patients seeking suitably qualified plastic surgeons who rely on their bodies, their self-esteem and their lives.
