What Is Plastic Surgery?

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty focused on improving, reconstructing, or restoring physical features of the face and body. It includes two primary areas: cosmetic plastic surgery and reconstructive plastic surgery. Cosmetic plastic surgery focuses on enhancing appearance, while reconstructive plastic surgery addresses functional or structural concerns related to injury, illness, or congenital conditions.

Patients often ask how plastic surgery works. Each procedure is carefully planned based on individual anatomy, health history, and desired outcomes. Surgical techniques are used to reshape tissue, remove excess skin or fat, or restore proportion and symmetry in a controlled, clinical environment.

Why Patients Choose Plastic Surgery

People pursue plastic surgery for many different reasons. Some are looking to address visible signs of aging, while others want to restore their appearance after pregnancy, weight changes, or medical treatment. Plastic surgery can also help correct features that have long affected confidence or comfort.

Common reasons patients consider plastic surgery include improving facial balance, addressing sagging skin or puffiness, restoring body contours, repairing damage from trauma or illness, and achieving results that cannot be accomplished with non-surgical treatments alone. Choosing plastic surgery is a personal decision, and consultation plays a key role in setting realistic expectations and creating a treatment plan.

Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Procedures

Plastic surgery includes a wide range of cosmetic procedures that target the face, breasts, and body. Treatment plans are customized based on patient goals and anatomy.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic plastic surgery procedures. It is often chosen to enhance breast volume, improve symmetry, or restore shape following pregnancy or weight loss. Implant type, size, and placement are selected based on individual proportions and preferences.

Mommy Makeovers

Mommy makeovers are designed to address multiple areas affected by pregnancy and childbirth. These procedures often combine breast surgery, liposuction, and abdominal contouring into a single, coordinated treatment plan. The goal is to restore body shape and muscle tone while minimizing overall recovery time.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, flanks, and under the chin. Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure intended to refine shape rather than promote weight loss.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck addresses loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles, often after pregnancy or significant weight changes. The procedure removes excess skin and tightens underlying muscles to create a firmer, flatter abdominal profile.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Blepharoplasty focuses on rejuvenating the eye area by removing excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper or lower eyelids. This procedure can reduce under-eye bags, improve eyelid drooping, and create a more refreshed appearance. In some cases, it may also improve vision when sagging skin interferes with sight.

Reconstructive Plastic Surgery

Reconstructive plastic surgery is performed to restore form and function following injury, illness, or congenital conditions. These procedures focus on medical restoration as well as appearance.

Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction helps rebuild breast shape after mastectomy or trauma. The goal is to restore symmetry and contour while supporting physical recovery and confidence.

Facial Reconstruction

Facial reconstruction addresses structural damage caused by trauma, disease, or congenital differences. Procedures are designed to restore facial balance, function, and appearance.

Scar Revision

Scar revision improves the appearance of scars caused by surgery, burns, or accidents. Techniques may help reduce scar size, improve texture, and blend scars more naturally with surrounding skin.

Non-Surgical Cosmetic Options

Not every aesthetic concern requires surgery. Many patients explore non-surgical cosmetic treatments as an alternative to plastic surgery or as a complement to surgical procedures.

Injectable treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers help reduce fine lines, soften expression lines, and restore volume with minimal downtime. Chemical peels improve skin tone and texture by removing damaged surface layers. Laser treatments address pigmentation, scarring, and skin texture concerns while stimulating collagen production. Microneedling promotes collagen renewal and improves overall skin quality. CoolSculpting offers non-surgical fat reduction for targeted areas.

These treatments may be used on their own or alongside plastic surgery to enhance and maintain results.

Choosing a Plastic Surgery Clinic Near You

Selecting a plastic surgery clinic is an important decision. Patients should look for a medical practice that emphasizes safety, patient education, and individualized treatment planning. Board certification, thorough consultation, and coordinated follow-up care are essential components of quality plastic surgery care.

An integrated dermatology and plastic surgery clinic allows for more comprehensive evaluation and long-term aesthetic planning, especially for patients considering both surgical and non-surgical treatments.
