Plastic Surgery and Suture
Plastic Surgery is a branch of surgery concerned with improving the function or appearance of parts of the body through reconstructive or cosmetic medical methods. Reconstructive surgery is done on abnormal structures of the body. Such as skin cancer& scars& burns& birthmarks and also including congenital anomalies including deformed ears& cleft palate& cleft lip so on. This type of surgery is usually done to improve function, but may also be done to change appearance. Cosmetic surgery is done to repair or reshape otherwise normal structures of the body, generally, to improve appearance. Such as double eyelid& rhinoplasty& breast augmentation& liposuction& body lifts& face.
