Changing Appearances, Enhancing Lives: The World of Plastic Surgery

Author(s): Elina Smith

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty that involves the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. The primary goal of plastic surgery is to improve a patient's appearance and, in some cases, function. Plastic surgery can be performed on any part of the body and is often used to correct congenital disabilities, trauma-related injuries, and the effects of aging.
