Cosmetic surgery is concerned with changing or enhancing appearance through surgical and medical techniques. Reconstructive plastic surgery instead aims to restore form or function following congenital conditions, trauma, burns or disease.
Every procedure requires a consultation with an appropriately qualified surgeon, realistic expectations and a recovery plan that accounts for travel.
