plastic surgery residency

Plastic surgery residency is an advanced training program for doctors who want to specialize in reconstructing and repairing the body's tissues, as well as cosmetic enhancements. After medical school, residents spend several years learning surgical techniques, patient care, and anatomy related to both reconstructive procedures (like burn or trauma repair) and aesthetic procedures (such as facelifts or breast augmentation). The training combines hands-on surgical practice, didactic learning, and patient management under supervision, preparing surgeons to safely perform complex procedures and improve both functionality and appearance for their patients.
